Abstract: A device (10) for inverse crimping a terminal (12), held on an infeed belt (24), onto a core (14) includes: a crimp anvil (16) that supports the terminal (12) during the crimping process, a crimper (18) that reshapes to-be-reshaped regions (20) of the terminal (12) supported on the crimp anvil (16) during the crimping process when the crimp anvil (16) and the crimper (18) move relative to each other, and an infeed-belt guide device (46) for guiding the infeed belt (24). During the crimping process, the crimp anvil (16) is moved together with the terminal (12) supported in or on the crimp anvil (16), and the infeed-belt guide device (46) is moved at least temporarily relative to the crimper (18) before and/or during the crimping process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control for truck mixers having a hydraulically driven mixer drum, with the hydraulic pump of the mixer drive being driven by the drive motor of the truck mixer or by a separate motor. In accordance with the invention, the speed of the drive motor is adjustable in dependence on the demanded drum speed, with the desired drum speed being able to be set via an operating lever.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining an angular position of individual wires at a predetermined cross-sectional position in a multi-wire sheathed cable, which has, inside a sheath, a plurality of individual wires twisted around one another with a predetermined lay length. The angular position of the individual wires is determined relative to a reference direction, which extends through the central longitudinal axis of the sheathed cable. The method includes: determining an end angle position of the ends of the individual wires relative to the reference direction at an end of the sheathed cable, determining the distance between the end of the sheathed cable and the predetermined cross-sectional position in the longitudinal direction of the sheathed cable, and determining the angular position of the individual wires relative to the reference direction at the predetermined cross-sectional position based upon the end angle position, the lay length, the twist direction, and the distance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a humidity sensor for capacitive measurement of the humidity contained in a material, predominantly a bulk product. For parallel operation of several humidity sensors, one individual humidity sensor has to fulfil particularly high requirements with regard to accuracy, sensitivity and interchangeability. These requirements are fulfilled by the humidity sensor as per the invention firstly in that at least one pole of a stray field condenser arranged in the humidity sensor is fitted as a conductive layer on the side of a closer plate in the casing of the humidity sensor which is turned away from the material or bulk product. Furthermore, there is arranged in the casing a digital arithmetic-logic unit which exhibits a calibration table stored in a digital memory for determination of humidity levels as a function of measurement signals in a capacity measurement circuit which measures the capacity of the stray field condenser and of interference values affecting the humidity sensor.

Abstract: In a process of polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated compounds by polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of a free radical-forming initiator system and customary protective colloids and/or emulsifiers and optional known additives in a reactor whose surfaces contact the reaction components, the improvement comprising providing the reactor surfaces with a coating that at least suppresses polymer deposit formation without effecting the color and quality of the polymer.

Abstract: A controlled lathe having a rotatable main spindle with a hollow interior and a plurality of radially adjustable guide bodies for guiding a rod having a portion located within the hollow interior of the main spindle. Each guide body rests on a support body and is adjustable with respect to the support body by an axially movable inner tube located within the hollow interior of the main spindle. Axial movement of the inner tube to adjust the guide bodies is effected by an adjusting member which is mounted on the end of the inner tube and which is rotatable with the main spindle during normal lathe operation. The adjusting member is threadedly connected to a member which is attached to the main spindle, and a holding device secures the adjusting member against rotation when the guide bodies are to be adjusted which causes axial movement of the adjusting member and the inner tube due to the threaded connection.

Abstract: An improvement in the process for the polymerization of vinyl halide polymers comprising polymerizing at least one vinyl halide and, optionally, other olefinically-unsaturated monomers copolymerizable with vinyl halides, in an aqueous dispersion in the presence of free-radical-forming polymerization initiators, dispersants and, optionally, other additives in the presence of an inhibitor of polymer deposits and recovering said vinyl halide polymers, the improvement consisting essentially of adding to the reaction mixture from 10 to 1,000 ppm, based on the monomers, of at least one carbonyl compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbon having from 1 to 9 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl; R.sup.

Abstract: A pastable emulsion polymer comprised of carboxylated monomer/vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate terpolymer having improved strength of adhesion produced by emulsion copolymerization and containing, per polymer weight,from 60% to 98% by weight of vinyl chloride monomer units,from 1% to 29% by weight of vinyl acetate monomer units, andfrom 1% to 15% by weight of carboxyl-containing monomerunits selected from the group consisting of olefinically-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, monoallyl esters of non-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, and monovinyl esters of non-ethylenically-unsaturated dicarboxylic acids. The terpolymers are manufactured by the copolymerization of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, olefinically-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids and/or monoallyl esters and/or monovinyl esters of non-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids in an aqueous emulsion. The pastable terpolymers, after empasting are used for coating flexible sheet-like articles.
