A water-moistenable hot-melt applicable adhesive composition is characterized by the absence of blocking at 75 percent relative humidity under 0.4 p.s.i.g. load at 22.degree.C for 24 hours. The composition consists essentially of a blend of at least one water sensitive vinyl pyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, at least one water-soluble solid polyethylene glycol based wax having an average molecular weight of at least 4,000, and at least one water-insoluble solid wax. The water-soluble wax is g...

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating and using applicable information technology maps. Defined rules that indicate how information technology services interrelate to other computing components in the information technology infrastructure are received. A specified level of detail is selected, from among one or more levels of detail in taxonomy for the information technology infrastructure, for presenting the service map of the information t...

A mine layout applicable to natural resources development of a broad region, particularly applicable to the recovery of ore from oil shale and tar sands comprising a grid network of cellular units, such grid of cellular units being defined by pillars of the ore material and spaced below the ground level and of depths which vary from the upper surface of the ore to the lowermost depth of the ore body, adjacent cellular units of the grid lying at stepped depths and interconnected by a series of tu...

A branching filter using dielectric elements is disposed on the side of one of a pair of reflectors for reflecting emitted or incident waves, the branching filter being capable of reflecting one of the two frequency group components and of transmitting the other frequency group component to branch and converge the two components at different points.

A dismountable column within a hollow shaft attachable to the base of a record player wherein the column has on the portion entering the shaft a pyramid-shaped protuberance. The tubular shaft has a vertical groove therein within which is guided the protuberance and a ring-shaped groove positioned above the protuberance when the column is fully inserted within the tubular shaft. The ring-shaped groove carries an open elastic ring having an interior tongue which rides within the vertical groove an...

A hydrostatic vehicle driving system structured from an engine to a drive axle in a working vehicle. A hydraulic pump driven by the engine and a variable displacement hydraulic motor for driving the drive axle are fluidly connected with each other through a hydraulic circuit. A motor capacity control system controls capacity of the hydraulic motor in correspondence to the condition of load on the engine. The motor capacity control system comprises load-detection means detecting hydraulic pressur...

An inductor associated with an electric furnace for metal casting, and provided, where juxtaposed to the tank of the furnace, with a perimetric cavity sealed by refractory material in tamped condition, acting as a safety packing and filling all the inner room of the inductor body and building an embossed step in the jointing zone between inductor and tank.

A flag alarm system for a VOR receiver (applicable to other purposes) in which two 30 Hz signals of relatively variable phase normally present in two channels of the receiver, while the latter is operating properly, are multiplied together to produce modulation products including a dc component having a value which is a function of said phase, and which in one form of the invention is employed in a servo loop which indicates or controls said phase, and also a double frequency signal of peak ampl...

A protective device can be applied movably to the lower part of helmet (A); it is provided with a folding envelope (B) fitted preferably to the rear part of the helmet and apt to contain a flexible protective screen (C) which, when extracted from the envelope can be fitted in the helmet's lower part to provide protection against weather conditions. Protective screen (C), in its position of use, is retained on helmet (A) by means of movable securing elements (24) between the lower edge of helmet ...

The present disclosure relates to a universally applicable light-measuring device, especially photometer, which comprises a main measuring device, e.g. an exposure meter, and easily exchangeable auxiliary measuring devices or adapters for reducing the measuring angle which, when individaully attached to the main measuring device, form therewith new unitary devices, as to outer appearance and function. All adapters have identical bottom portions with two hooklike extensions to be received in corr...
