Abstract: The disclosure relates to a handrail disinfecting device for a handrail of a passenger transport installation. The handrail disinfecting device has a plurality of light-emitting diodes that can emit germicidal electromagnetic radiation in the region of their light cone. A pass-through segment of the handrail disinfecting device is divided into at least two sectors and has a carrier having planes that are arranged in the sectors. The light-emitting diodes are arranged on the carrier such that they are oriented according to the planes. In one of the sectors, there are two planes that are arranged in parallel with the longitudinal extension of the pass-through segment and so as to be mutually inclined at an angle of 100° to 160°.

Abstract: Processor arrangement for sewing apparatus for the operational control of at least one sewing device, including accessories, and for regulating the rotational speed of a positioning drive mechanism which drives the sewing device. The operating control characteristics as well as the rotational speed control characteristics are predeterminable and modifiable by digital programming signals of a programmer.

Abstract: A mass is cooled systematically under the influence of an electrical or mechanical alternating field to obtain a quasi dielectric isotropic structure of a synthetic resin part.

Abstract: Chromium complex dyes are disclosed which have the formula ##STR1## wherein S.sub.1 represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, a nitro group, a sulpho group, an alkyl or alkoxy radical, an acylamino or arylazo group,S.sub.2 represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, a nitro group, a sulpho group, an alkyl or alkoxy radical,S.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom, a nitro group or a halogen atom,P is 1 or 2,R represents a fluorochloropyrimidyl or fluorotriazinyl radical, a chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, .alpha.-chloro- or .alpha.-bromoacryloyl radical or an .alpha.,.beta.-dichloro- or .alpha., .beta.-dibromopropionyl radical, andM.sup..sym. represents a cation.

Abstract: Monoazo compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein Y is phenyl, or phenyl substituted by Z--NH--, sulfo, chloro or methyl; andZ is .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl or .alpha.-bromoacryloyl, are excellent dyes and are suitable for dyeing and printing materials of the most diverse kind.

Abstract: Heavy metal complexes of azo dyes of the formula ##STR1## wherein D is the radical of a diazo component of the benzene or naphthalene series that carries the group --[CO].sub.p-1 OH in ortho-position to the azo group, p is 1 or 2, X.sub.1 is an unsubstituted or substituted amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto, arylmercapto or aralkoxy group, X.sub.2 is an unsubstituted or substituted amino group or a low molecular alkyl radical, X.sub.3 is an unsubstituted or substituted amino group and Y is a cyano or carbonamido group, said azo dyes of the formula (1) containing at least one of the following groups: a sulpho or sulphonamido group, a sulphonamido group which is substituted by low molecular alkyl, phenyl or phenyl which carries non-ionogenic substituents, a low molecular alkylsulphonyl group or a phenylsulphonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted by non-ionogenic substituents.

Abstract: A process is described for the manufacture of chromium complexes of metallizable dyes in the form of solid dyestuff powders of low salt to salt-free content, or of concentrated solutions of low salt or salt-free content in which a metallizable dye, or a mixture of metallizable dyes, in an organic solvent which is immiscible or sparingly miscible with water, or reacted with a chromium compound, in the course of which any water which is liberated is removed by azeotropic distillation, and the resulting chromium complex, provided it is a 1:1 complex, is then optionally reacted in the presence of a base with a further mol of a metallizable dye, or of a colorless, complexforming compound, then isolated from undissolved constituents, and the resulting dye solution of low salt or salt-free content is optionally concentrated or evaporated to dryness, whereby it is possible the manufacture of 1:1 or 1:2 chromium complexes without the handicap of effluent pollution, and to isolate the dyes without using salt.

Abstract: Water-soluble azo dyes of the formula WHEREIN Y is a fiber-reactive group, n is 1 or 2, m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene rings A and B may be further substituted are disclosed. They are useful for dyeing nitrogen-containing fibers and cellulose materials and are distinguished by very bright and brilliant shades, possessing good stability, fastness to light, wet processing and fixation.

Abstract: Chromium complex dyes of the formula ##SPC1##Wherein one of the symbols X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 is hydrogen and each of the others is hydrogen, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a methyl or a methoxy group, R is a phenyl radical which is optionally substituted by halogen, low molecular alkoxy, alkyl or nitro and Me.sup.+ is a cation are disclosed; said dyes being useful in dyeing synthetic and natural polyamides to produce dyeings which are level and have good fastness to light, washing, fulling, decatizing and carbonizing.
