An evaporative-cooling condensation type ammonia refrigeration unit with leaked ammonia gas removing means is provided. Recovery of a leaked ammonia gas is conducted taking advantage of a high solubility of ammonia in water, wherein the leaked ammonia gas is dissolved in a cooling water used for an evaporative condenser. The construction of the unit is characterized by including an ammonia absorptive structure in a gas/liquid countercurrent mode provided in a space on the lower side of the evapo...

The process for increasing the production of petrochemical conversion processes in the presence of a carbon-hydrogen fragmentation compound in the presence of a non-zeolitic molecular sieve.

A line connector lock is used with intravenous (IV) or feeding tube connections to prevent inadvertent disconnections or fluid contamination. The line connector lock has a hollow body and a tensioning element attached to the body. The body fits over an insertion tube and is forced against a line connection through the tensioning element. Installation and removal of the line connector lock is possible on existing tube connections. The two ends of the line connector lock are preferably of differen...

A multi-bladed knife is formed with three parallel blades attached to a handle by means of a screw rod and spring arrangement mounted at front and rear portions of the handle, respectively. The screw rod fastens the blades to the front end of the handle and is rotatable to adjust the transverse spacing between the blades. Application of manual gripping pressure to the rearward portion of the handle against spring bias serves to direct the outer blades into a diverging angle relative to the handl...

A bread making, manually operated accessory for single operation dough severing and spacing in a variety of sizes and pan configurations; a pair of rectangular blades are attached for relatively slidable motion with the edges substantially coincident by a pair of resilient tubular telescoping flanges integral with the respective blades on the dies opposite the blade cutting edges and spaced and clamped to spring the cutting edges together, circular handles with circular caps affixed at the ends ...

An impact actuated bakery grid device 10 for producing uniform portions of baked goods wherein the grid device 10 includes a force generating unit 13 operatively associated with a handle member 30 which is connected at widely spaced locations on a grid member 20 for forcibly ejecting the portions of baked goods from within the confines of a plurality of compartments 24 within the grid member 20.

An anchor adapted to develop high holding power in both hard and soft anchoring ground due to flaps which are retracted within the fluke area in hard ground and extended outside the fluke area in soft ground.

A spring system for connecting two flanges (13, 14), for use especially in a motor vehicle exhaust system. The spring system is configured as an elastic, flexible clamp with functionally first (1, 2) and second (4, 5) U-shaped clamping jaws positioned opposite each other. This provides a spring system which is easy to assemble and economical to produce. To this end the spring system has the U-shaped arms (6, 7) of the clamping jaws (1, 2; 4, 5) having only locally very restricted areas (8, 9, 10...

A bus bridge on a primary RAID controller receives user write data from a host and writes the data to its write cache and also broadcasts the data over a high speed link (e.g., PCI-Express) to a secondary RAID controller's bus bridge, which writes the data to its mirroring write cache. However, before writing the data, the second bus bridge automatically invalidates the cache buffers to which the data is to be written, which alleviates the primary controller's CPU from sending a message to the s...

Nearly azeotropic compositions consisting of hydrogenated fluorocarbons, suitable as freezing mixture in conditioning plants, essentially consisting of: (A) from 38 to 53% by weight of R22; (B) from 34 to 56% by weight of R124 and/or R124A; (C) from 2 to 13.5% by weight of R600 and/or R600A.
