Process for working up regenerated sizes by adding oxidative chlorine-containing compounds, in particular sodium chlorite. These compounds have the effect in the regenerated size of oxidatively brightening the interfering dark-colored impurities.

An apparatus for measuring sizes of articles including a light projecting device for projecting light toward an article placed on a stationary transparent plate from one side of the plate, a photo-sensor device arranged on the other side of the plate and having plural photo-detectors arranged in array in Y direction to receive light projected from the light projecting device and impinging upon the photo-sensor device without being interrupted by the article, a driving device for reciprocally mov...

A socket includes a housing and a plate secured in the housing and having a number of apertures for slidably receiving a number of rods. A number of posts are secured to the rods and each includes a hexagonal cross section having six surfaces for engaging with the fasteners. A number of springs are engaged with the posts for allowing the posts to be depressed inward of the housing and for allowing the socket to engage with the fasteners of various sizes. The surfaces of the posts may solidly eng...

The average particle diameter and particle size distribution of hard particles in a bed are determined by causing impingement of the particles, e.g. by tumbling them, and recording and analyzing the beat pattern of the sound emanating from the particles as a result of such impingement.

An adjustable helmet liner for a protective helmet is disclosed. The adjustable helmet liner comprises at least one liner wall having a peripheral surface adapted to substantially conform to, and fit within, the protective helmet for engagement with the head of a wearer of the protective helmet. The at least one liner wall includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface is adapted to be disposed adjacent the interior surface of the helmet and the inner surface is adapted to be ...

A system to compare process sizes is described. In one example embodiment, the system comprises memory and one or more processing devices. The memory may be configured to store executable instructions. The one or more processing devices may be configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may cause the one or more processing devices to generate a first process that corresponds to an activity, generate data objects that correspond to the elements associated with the activity, and ident...

A conveyor comprises a conveying surface having a plurality of article locating elements. Each element is movable between an operative article locating position and an inoperative position. Moving mechanisms are provided for moving the article locating elements between their operative and inoperative positions above and below the conveying surface respectively. Such mechanisms are independently operable and each is arranged to move a different group of article locating elements whereby the conve...

An automated bag filling machine particularly adapted to handle reclosable fastener strip profile-type plastic bags fed into the machine in a bag chain employs stations for opening, filling, reclosing, and separating filled and closed bags from the remainder of the chain. The drive means for conveying the chain through the filling mechanism include stroke control devices which enable the operation of the machine to be changed over for handling bags of different width sizes. Means are also provid...

A set of prostheses of different sizes comprises in each case a pair of prostheses (10, 10*), which apart from the clear external contour of their anchoring sections (20, 20*) have the same geometry. The anchoring section (20) of a first prosthesis (10) of the pair is constructed as an anchoring section with a cage structure which can be implanted in a cement-free manner, whilst the anchoring section (20*) of the second prosthesis of the pair is constructed as an anchoring section with smooth bo...

A method and apparatus for measuring automatically the diameter and axial width of a pneumatic tire while the tire is traveling continuously along a conveyor for example. The measurments are represented by electrical signals, the respective levels of which may be used as parameters to check the size and load bearing classification of the tire and to program subsequent processing thereof. Mechanical sensors are used to engage and measure the respective dimensions and to generate the respective si...
