Abstract:
The closed position of a valve having a valve member that can be rotated by an electrical motor that in turn is connected to a potentiometer furnishing an output corresponding to valve position is determined by first energizing the motor so as to close the valve and monitoring the current consumption of the motor. The instantaneous current consumption of the motor is continuously or periodically compared with a set point corresponding to motor current consumption of the motor when stalled and the potentiometer output is recorded in a nonvolatile memory generally when the instantaneous motor current consumption exceeds the output so as to establish the corresponding position as the motor closed position. Then the motor is de-energized and from then on the recorded position is used as the full-closed valve position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the discontinuous wet processing of knitted or worked textile material (knitted fabric) (1) which circulates continuously in a tank (2), being passed through a resting zone (7) in the lower region of the tank and through a dipping vat containing a treatment liquor (14). In order in particular to be able to wet process even small production quantities economically, reliably and in open width, the textile material is spread by rollers (12 and 13) in the region of the dipping vat (before it and/or after it) and in the region above this dipping vat it has fluid removed from it by squeezer rolls (15) to a predetermined residual moisture content before it again enters the resting zone (7) in its continuous circulation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to apparatus for the continuous wet treatment of a length of tubular material in which a changing device is provided at the inlet and the arrangement for introducing air into the length of material extends over the entire width of the chamber. Such apparatus also permits full utilization of the machine capacity even with narrow material.

Abstract:
Process for manufacturing viscose solutions having good filterability and producing low amounts of sulfide gases during subsequent spinning; said process comprising treating cellulose with a first alkali metal hydroxide solution in a first alkalization step, freeing the alkalized cellulose from at least part of the excess hydroxide solution without pressing-off, and treating the cellulose with a second alkali metal hydroxide solution in a second alkalization step while maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture at not more than 18.degree. C.

Abstract:
A camera holder (3) is provided for fixing a camera (11) or a camcorder to an optical observation device. The holder (3) has a variable-length sleeve (13) with a first end configured to receive the camera objective and a second end configured to secure the sleeve (13) relative to the optical observation device. The holder (3) also has an adjusting device (19) fixed to the sleeve (13). The adjusting device (19) has a pin for connection with a stand mating thread of a camera (11) and is configured to compensate for an offset between the stand mating thread and the camera objective. The adjusting device (19) enables the camera (11) to be positioned with respect to the sleeve and the optical observation device.
