Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated valve is disclosed having an upper electromagnetic element and a lower electromagnetic element, each of the elements having a toroidal configuration or an annular configuration with a U-shaped cross-section. The elements each define a central chamber and a central channel. The upper and lower electromagnetic elements are in a mirrored relationship to each other. The valve also includes a core element having an annular horizontal cross-section and is disposed intermediate the upper and lower electromagnetic elements. A coil is disposed within the central channel of each of the electromagnetic elements. A valve stem is disposed within the central chamber of the electromagnetic elements. A spring is disposed within the central chamber of the electromagnetic elements for biasing the electromagnetic elements in a neutral position. A connecting plate connects the core elements to the valve stem. Applying current to the coil in the upper electromagnetic element causes the valve to close, and interrupting the current to the coil in the upper electromagnetic element and applying current to the coil in the lower electromagnetic element causes the valve to open.

Abstract: A column (210) having a region for reaction with distillation of fluid streams is provided with structures (200) comprising distillation trays (230) which allow for the accumulation of liquid from a liquid stream and the passage of a vapor stream through the liquid for interaction therewith. The structures include catalyst beds which extend downwardly from the trays and are housed within at least partially perforate containers (232, 248). A portion of the liquid on the tray is catalytically reacted as it is driven through the catalyst bed by the liquid head created by the accumulated liquid. Another portion of the liquid may be directed through a bypass (244) which also extends downwardly from the tray and allows the liquid to bypass the catalyst bed so that higher volumetric flow rates can be achieved. A still further portion of the liquid can be directed to a zone (250) between adjacent catalyst beds or within a catalyst bed for developing a liquid head to force the liquid laterally through the catalyst bed.

Abstract: According to a method for controlling dryers in the ceramic industry, which are operated with an external and/or internal heating and are operated in conjunction with a tunnel furnace, and in which, by means of an empirical or mathematical model of the drying process, the state of drying-out of the chambers is approximately determined, the variation of the air condition values and/or of the convection capacity of the individual chambers is automatically selected or calculated as a function of the products, the available drying time and the available furnace waste heat, from the point of view of a minimum total energy or energy cost expenditure, and is started as a drying programme. This mode of operation achieves an automatic optimisation of the heat consumption in a targeted manner, using the prescribed boundary conditions, and, as a result, the costs of energy and personnel are reduced in a concern without large investment in terms of installation being necessary. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a biological method for the purification of waste water contaminated with organic carbon and nitrogen compounds, the nitrogen compounds being first nitrified in an aerobic-treatment stage (1) and then denitrified in an anaerobic treatment stage (2), preferably to molecular nitrogen. The invention proposes that at least a part of the carbon compounds is separated from the waste water [e.g. by adsorption (3)] before it enters the aerobic-treatment stage and at least a part of the separated carbon compounds (4) is added back to the waste water to be treated anaerobically in the second stage. The method proposed enables optimum conditions to be established for the microorganisms present in each of the two stages.

Abstract: A serial data transmission system employing at least three transmission lines for transmitting the serial data. Each of the transmission lines can be designated as a data line 1 or as a data line 2. An encoder dynamically designates, for each binary data bit transmission period, one transmission line as data line 1 and one transmission line as data line 2 such that the transitions representing two data bits being transmitted in two successive transmission periods not occur on any one of the transmission lines. In each binary data bit transmission period, the encoder will cause a transition to occur on either data line 1 or data line 2 as a function of the value of the data bit to be transmitted during that transmission period. A decoder retrieves the data bit for each transmission period in accordance with whether the transition occurred on the transmission line designated as data line 1 or the transmission line designated as data line 2 for that period and determines for the next transmission period which of the transmission lines will be designated as the data line 1 and which of the transmission lines will be designated as the data line 2.
