Abstract: The invention relates to a method for autoclaving porous, lumpy materials by means of pressurised steam, the autoclaving process comprising, successively, a steam-operated heating phase, a holding phase and an expansion phase for pressure and temperature, the holding phase comprising a drying process in which the autoclave, going beyond compensating for heat losses and being set to a temperature above the evaporation temperature of the water, is heated indirectly and the material is dried by a controlled blowing-off of steam-containing heating medium from the interior of the autoclave. In order to obtain as dry a product as possible using as little energy as possible, it is provided that the drying process essentially extends over the entire holding phase, one or more autoclaves in the holding phase being supplied with sufficient heat for the steam necessary for a heating phase to be blown off and, after previous intermediate storage if appropriate, used to operate a heating phase. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The drill guide 16 for drill 28 is to be aligned with a transverse hole 26 in a femoral nail 21 located within a bone 12 so that when drilling holes in the bone the drill will pass cleanly through the hole 26. A coil 36 mounted within the nail 21 generates an alternating magnetic field along the axis of the hole 26. Two sensor discs 46 & 47 are axially spaced along the guide 16 and each carries four angularly spaced sensing coils 51-54 and 61-64 to determine when the centre of the disc 46 or 47 is in alignment with the axial magnetic field. Display units 81 and 82 show by means of LEDs 86-89 and 94-97 when there is any deviation from the required alignment, allowing the guide tube 41 to be correctly aligned for drilling. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A reactive distillation process is described, making it possible, in the same vessel, to carry out a catalytic reaction and to isolate the required product by distillation, in which the liquid phase containing the reactants passes from the top downwards through at least one catalyst bed without the vapour phase of the distillation passing through the said catalyst beds. These operating characteristics are in practice obtained in a reactive distillation zone (C) which comprises an alternation of distillation cells (D) comprising one or a number of trays (5) and of reaction cells (R) containing the catalyst beds and designed so that the liquid phase flowing off a distillation tray (5) flows over a spillway (7) via a down column (6) to reach the catalyst bed (8) at its bottom and to pass through it as an upward stream before pouring by overspill onto a distillation tray (5) of the following distillation cell (D), so that the distillation vapour which travels from the bottom upwards through the distillation trays (5) does not pass through the said reaction cells (R). Each reaction cell (R) is physically separated from the adjacent distillation cell(s) (D). The process and the apparatus which are described can be applied particularly to the reactions of synthesis of tertiary alkyl ethers by addition of aliphatic monoalcohols (methanol, ethanol) to isoolefins (isobutene, isopentene). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The frame is placed, for example, on the inspection opening (14) of the flush tank (15). In order that a region (17) which projects at the top after the in-filling masonry work can be removed in a simple manner, the frame (6) has a plurality of peripheral grooves (18) which form weakening points. During the in-filling masonry work, the frame (6) forms a protective means which prevents building rubble getting into the flush tank. In the ready-mounted state, it forms a lining for the wall cavity (16). The frame can be in the shape of a sleeve and is then also suitable for lining a masonry-wall cavity into which a sanitary fitting is introduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a variable proportion dispenser and permits the user to adjust the proportions and amounts of the components dispensed from the cartridges during each delivery stroke. The variable proportion dispenser (2) includes a housing (4) which houses two pharmaceutical cartridges (6, 7). A reciprocating drive assembly (10) includes a drive stem (36, 37) extending from the piston (46) of each cartridge, a sliding body (66) mounted to the housing, and two one-way drive devices (54, 55) carried by the sliding body. Each one-way drive device includes a threaded dosage adjuster (60, 61), and a reciprocating, one-way driver (58, 59) which drives the drive stem into the cartridge. The distance the reciprocating driver can move on the return stroke away from the cartridge is adjustable by changing the threaded position of the dosage adjuster within the sliding body.

Abstract: Clapet de retenue (10) s'utilisant pour l'évacuation de l'air d'un dispositif possédant un disque primaire et un disque secondaire (32, 34) retenus dans une chambre du logement (12) et réagissant à une première et à une deuxième forces produites par la création d'un différentiel de pression hydraulique entre la pression hydraulique de l'air dans un premier élément et une source de vide, afin de commander l'évacuation de l'air dudit élément par ladite source de vide. Le disque primaire est situé sur une tige (38) s'étendant à partir du disque secondaire de façon à recouvrir une pluralité d'ouvertures (42, 42') reliant l'orifice d'entrée (16) à la chambre. Un ressort (52) maintient le disque secondaire contre le logement. La première force se produisant sous l'effet du différentiel de pression entre la pression hydraulique de l'air et le vide déplace le disque primaire, de façon à permettre l'évacuation de l'air à travers les ouvertures situées dans le disque secondaire. Si la pression hydraulique de l'air se trouvant dans le premier élément dépasse une valeur prédéterminée, la deuxième force se développe de façon à agir sur le disque secondaire et à permettre l'évacuation d'un volume d'air plus important en un temps plus court. Un élément en forme de queue (50) situé sur le disque secondaire vient en contact avec le logement de façon à empêcher l'apparition de vibrations provoquées par le déplacement du disque secondaire quand l'air est évacué. Quand la pression hydraulique de l'air chute à une pression hydraulique prédéterminée, un ressort déplace le disque secondaire, afin qu'il vienne en contact avec le logement et l'évacuation de l'air s'effectue à nouveau à travers les ouvertures du disque secondaire commandé, de la même manière, par le premier disque.

Abstract: The detection and correction of errors in digital data transmitted by or stored in a media channel is provided by processing the data through a triple orthogonally interleaved error correction system. On the transmit/store side of the system, the data is encoded three times prior to placement in the media channel with two different interleaving steps performed between the encoding steps. The first interleave is an orthogonal row shuffling interleave that provides enhanced protection against burst errors. On the receive/play back side, the data is decoded and deinterleaved, with included errors detected and corrected to enable recovery of the original data. To enhance the error correction, a circuit is used for generating a symbol accurate error flag identifying symbols containing errors thereby allowing the error correcting decoders to focus on and correct the data. <IMAGE>
