Abstract: An apparatus for power failure identification in a programmable household appliance includes an electronic program control apparatus having a first device disposed upstream of the mains switch on the power supply system side and a second device disposed downstream from the mains switch on the appliance side for identifying an electrical variable of the external power supply system or of the supply system in the household appliance. The program control apparatus compares the signals produced by each of the devices from the electrical variables to decide whether the failure or the change in the electrical variable of the household appliance is due to a failure of the external power supply system, or due to the household appliance being switched off deliberately.

Abstract: In a process to dispose of slaughterhouse residues, the animal wastes are minced and heated for a given time at 150-250 degrees C, followed by subjecting to pressure of 10-50 bar, creating a hydrolysis solution. In a process to dispose of slaughterhouse residues, the animal wastes are minced and heated for a given time at 150-250 degrees C, followed by subjecting to pressure of 10-50 bar, creating a hydrolysis solution. The hydrolyzed charge is then released into one of three containers under pressure, and the pressure is then reduced while the charge cools. The hydrolyzed solution is then broken down by microbial activity. An Independent claim is included for an assembly in which the hydrolyzed solution is held for at least 20 minutes and more than 3 bar at a temperature of more than 133 degrees C. Hot vapors released at this stage are discharged via a first heat exchanger (2) which pre-heats biogenic residues. The three containers are charged in succession to provide a quasi-continuous process. The product of the microbial activity is biogas which is used to generate electrical energy.

La dispersion contient un agent dispersant contenant une alkylamine dont la chaîne principale porte 4 à 20 atomes de carbone et est une amine primaire, et au moins un composé choisi parmi les carboxamides et les sels d"acides aminocarboxyliques. En raison de l"agent dispersant, les particules métalliques ultrafines ayant une granulométrie de 100 nm ou moins sont dispersées indépendamment. Cette dispersion dans laquelle les particules métalliques ultrafines ayant une granulométrie donnée sont dispersées indépendamment, est obtenue par mise en contact d"une vapeur métallique avec une vapeur de solvant organique, récupération des vapeurs par refroidissement, addition de l"agent dispersant au liquide obtenu, et éventuellement remplacement du solvant. De manière alternative, la dispersion est obtenue par mise en contact d"une vapeur métallique avec un mélange de vapeur de solvant organique et de vapeur de l"agent dispersant, récupération des vapeurs par refroidissement, et éventuellement remplacement du solvant.
