A method of constructing an assembly comprising an insulating fiber mass by pre-compressing the fiber mass to a controlled extent so that damage to the fibers is avoided, introducing the pre-compressed fiber mass into a cavity and releasing the pre-compression so that the fiber mass is retained under compression by the cavity wall.

Flame-retardant thermoplastic molding compositions comprise A) from 5 to 99% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer, B) from 0.1 to 50% by weight of a phosphazene of the general formula I where the numerical values of x, y and z, independently of one another, are as follows: 1>x>0.05 1>y>0.05 z>1, and C) from 0 to 70% by weight of other additives and processing aids, where the total of the percentages by weight of components A) to C) is 100%.

A wing of an aircraft has a mass, for example an engine, secured to the wing by a pylon such that an imaginary line between the center of gravity of the mass and the region of the wing to which the pylon is attached is at an angle to the vertical, the force and the moment applied to the wing by the mass and the pylon being applied to the wing through at least one attachment member. The force and the moment can be applied to the wing through first and second attachment members respectively.

A hydrophilic adhesive mass contains 0.05 to 10 wt. % of a copolymer of an aminoalkyl (meth)acrylate and an alkyl (meth)acrylate. This hydrophilic adhesive mass is excellent in adhesiveness, and especially when combined with a pharmacologically active ingredient, is suitable for use in providing hydrophilic plasters.

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may include coupling a plurality of masses to provide a plurality of output signals responsive to motion relative to a common axis. Moving the plurality of masses at a substantially common frequency, moving a subset of the plurality of masses out of phase with the remainder of the plurality of masses, and combining the plurality of output signals to provide a combined signal associated with a response property of...

An improved dispenser for fluent masses such as toothpaste, lotions, chemicals and the like, includes a body member having a chamber which receives a collapsible and flexible pouch. Associated with the body member is a pumping chamber preferably comprised of a lower and upper housing. The pump chamber, pouch and discharge aperture of the dispenser are at essentially ambient atmospheric pressure, and there is provided a check valve mechanism which sequentially permits flow of material from the po...

A bearing for compensating masses for compensation of forces due to inertia as well as moments of inertia is in the form of a constructive unit made of the compensating masses and the support, whereby the outer mantle surface of the compensating masses provide the support surface. Furthermore, the compensating masses and the gear wheel comprise a unit whereby the exact angular coordination of crank shaft and compensating mass is ensured. The bearing arrangement results in a secondary mass compen...

The present invention provides a hardner for epoxide resin masses based on dicyandiamide, wherein it contains a) dicyandiamide with a particle size of .gtoreq.90% .ltoreq.10 .mu.m. and b) 0.1 to 30% by weight of silicon dioxide and/or of an oxide of a metal of Group IIA or IIB of the Periodic Table with a large specific surface area.

Hardenable molding masses are disclosed containing an organic binder material, fillers and additives wherein the binder material after the shaping and hardening is pyrolytically decomposed. The development of harmful substances such as aromatic hydrocarbons is considerably reduced through the addition of a boron containing compound.

The invention has a driveshaft (6, 8a, 8b and 10), especially used in the drive line of a motor vehicle (1), with a tubular shaft which has a central tube region (R.sub.m) and end pieces (11 and 12) formed on both ends. For optimizing the torsional characteristics of the driveshaft (6, 8a, 8b and 10), it includes at least one mass element (13) which is formed by reducing the inner diameter (D.sub.i) and/or increasing the outer diameter (D.sub.a) of the shaft wall. These additional mass elements ...
