  • Patent number: 7156007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for crushing a hydrous polymer jelly, comprising two rolls (11,12) located axially parallel and rotating in opposite directions between which a nip (13) for the passage of the polymer gel (10) is formed. In order to achieve a more uniform and cheaper size reduction of polymer gels, the present invention proposes to form one roll as a cutting roll (11) which is provided with at least one axially extending cross cutting element (15) having a cutting edge (17) and with a radially extending longitudinal cutting element (14) provided with a cutting edge (18) which runs around it, and to form the other roll as a back-up roll (12).

  • Patent number: 6639774
    Abstract: A two-wire bus system for connecting a plurality of users has at least one damping circuit for damping line resonances in the two-wire bus system with respect to a reference potential. The damping characteristic of the damping circuit is selected such that the damping only becomes operative above a preestablished reference voltage threshold1 value. In this manner, it is achieved that a useful signal is not weakened by the damping circuit, but rather resonance voltages are damped only above the threshold value. It is advantageous if each of the users of the bus system has assigned to it a damping circuit.

  • Patent number: 6454466
    Abstract: A prefabricated plug-in assembly includes a front subframe and a plug pin arranged in it. The assembly further has a holder for an optical conductor end. Light-curable adhesive is introduced into the holder in advance and, once the optical conductor end has been introduced, is cured by supplying light. To this end, the plug-in assembly is sufficiently transparent and translucent for the light wavelength of the light used for curing.

  • Patent number: 5581096
    Abstract: An integrated semiconductor device having a thyristor includes outer npn-transistors, outer pnp-transistors, and an inner npn-transistor. The outer pnp-transistors and the inner npn-transistor are interconnected so as to form a thyristor to allow the inner transistor to be biased into conduction. Furthermore, a current flow takes place via the outer npn-transistors and the inner npn-transistor. The integrated semiconductor device having a thyristor minimizes interference produced in neighboring components.
