A round baler having a single set of baling means, such as belts, which are trained over a serious of fixed and mobile rolls to form a bale having a larger diameter. Several loops are formed in the baling means. The loops are controlled by two pivot arms, and the position of these pivot arms is controlled by a common actuator.

A method is disclosed for communication between a plurality of stations. The method includes selecting a master station, which becomes responsible for building and broadcasting at least one service information table (such as the tables defined in MPEG or DVB), and communicates with the (N-1) to the other stations, known as slave stations, in a limited number of situations corresponding to modifications of the content of the tables and according to a specific table management, where the master st...

In a connection between a first component having a U-shaped fork with two essentially parallel spaced legs having recesses formed therein and a second component having a portion disposed between the legs and a bolt extending into the recesses, the ends of the bolt are engaged in the recesses by spring clamps which hold the bolt in firm contact with wall portions of the recesses so as to provide for a play-free pivot connection between the two components.

For conversion of spectral information of an FTIR spectrometric instrument for comparison with that of a dispersion instrument, a first standard function is selected for spectral line shape for the first instrument, and a second standard function for line shape is selected for the second instrument. A conversion factor is computed for converting the first standard function to the second standard function. In ordinary operations, first spectral information is obtained with the first instrument fo...

The specification discloses a pair of valve caps for a phase contacting column in which the valve caps of the pair are linked together underneath the separator plate. The caps may be formed as a single composite unit, as a pair of complete caps for connecting one to another, or as a collection of at least three components which may be assembled to form a composite unit of two caps.

A method of connecting a hose between a pair of stations wherein at least one of the stations is erratically movable with respect to the other and at least one of the stations has a pipe terminating in a pipe tee coupled thereto and the other of the stations is connected to the hose. A drawline is extended through the run of the pipe tee. One end of the drawline is connected to the free end of the hose and the drawline is pulled through the run of the pipe tee. The hose is connected to the adjac...

A communication system is provided between a trackway and a vehicle running along the trackway, in which information is transmitted between the trackway and the vehicle through an energy coupling such as an inductive coupling between a conductor system laid along the trackway and a pickup aerial on the vehicle. The trackway is divided into sections for each of which respective geographical information is valid for use by a vehicle in that section. An information transmitter is provided on the tr...

A sealing between a rotary and a stationary member comprises two substantially axially engaging slide rings, one of which is connected to the rotary member while the other is connected to the stationary member. The slide ring connected to the rotary member is provided with at least one passage interconnecting the spaces located on either side of the slide ring.

A method and material for providing a good electrical and mechanical joint between aluminum and copper is described. Data is included to demonstrate the mechanical and electrical characteristics of joints made between aluminum and copper employing a novel cadmium zinc bonding composition.

In an abrading or honing tool environment, a resilient material, such as epoxy, urethane, cement, cork, neoprene or synthetic substance is applied between the abrasive means and the abrasive holder, or between the abrasive holder and the expander, or between the expander and the cone means, or any combination thereof, to reduce shock and decrease chatter.
