Abstract:
The invention relates to a connector or jointing clamp for coated overhead cables. The connector or jointing clamp comprises two body sections, an upper body section (1) and a lower body section (2), contact teeth (3) in each of the body sections, a clamping screw (4) for moving the body sections and the contact teeth thereof towards each other, and a moment transmission nut (5), provided with a fraction point (6) and in engagement by its internal thread with an external thread of the clamping screw (4) above the upper body section (1). The lower body section (2) features a column (7), which is fixedly cast therein and provided with an internal thread, and which extends over a substantial distance above the lower body section's (2) contact teeth (3).
Abstract:
In the area of coffee machines, especially espresso machines, it is desired to arrange a fine screen in such a way that it is tightly locked in a receiving vessel and carries an apparatus which can be operated with objects conventionally found in a household such as a coin for example.
Abstract:
A method of operating an engine is disclosed, which includes determining a peak power condition for the engine, measuring a temperature associated with the engine at said peak power condition, comparing the temperature measured with a previously determined temperature associated with a known peak power condition of the engine, determining an offset value based on the comparison made in step, controlling at least one of an air- fuel mixture delivered to the engine or ignition spark timing based on said offset value. Various engine fuel delivery systems, carburetors, fuel injection and control systems also are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pheromone composition for attracting male Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), for monitoring and/or combating purpose, said composition consisting of (2S, 10E)-I O-tridecen-2-yl acetate (2S-E10-13:OAc), (2S)-tridecan-2-yl acetate (2S-13:OAc), (2S,10E)-10-tridecen-2-ol (2S-E10-13OH), and optionally (2S,8E,10E)-8, 10- tridecadien-2-yl acetate (2S-E8-E10-13:OAc) and/or (2S,8Z,10E)-8, 10-tridecadien-2-yl acetate (2S-Z8-E10-13:OAc), as well as a method for attracting said Hessian fly using such a composition.
Abstract:
A process for hydrogenation of carbon oxides comprising contacting a gas mixture containing carbon oxides and of hydrogen with a catalyst comprising bimetallic iron-nickel or iron-cobalt alloys as the active catalytic material supported on a carrier of an oxide. The carrier is preferably formed to have a surface area greater than 20 m 2 /g.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for determining the three dimensional structure of biomolecules,such as proteins, protein fragments and peptides. The biomolecule is encapsulated in an amorphous silica matrix,from which a needle specimen is prepared. Atom probe tomography is then used to analyze the needle specimenand the data is used to reconstruct the three dimensional structure of the biomolecule. The present invention greatly facilitates determination of the three dimensional structure of biomolecules.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and systems that control the application of a material onto micro-rough implant surfaces. Thus, the present invention provides method of applying crystalline nanoparticles onto the surface of an implant to produce an implant with a crystalline nanoparticle layer on its surface, the method comprising: providing an implant substrate body; applying crystalline nanoparticles onto the surface of the implant; and rotating the implant, to produce an implant with a crystalline nanoparticle layer on its surface. This method of nanoparticle application is designed to promote the integration of implants, such as dental and orthopedic screws, into living tissue, and offers the ability to control the thickness and uniformity of the nanoparticle layer, in one or several layers, while simultaneously retaining the microroughness of the implant. Further provided are systems for applying crystalline nanoparticles onto the surface of an implant and implants having a crystalline nanoparticle layer on their surfaces.
