Abstract: Ein Auspreßfilter für Flüssigkeit-Feststoff-Gemische umfaßt einen Außenmantel, einen den Außenmantel lösbar verschließenden Deckel, eine vom Deckel in den Außenmantel hinein abstehendes, rohrförmiges Filterelement, an dessen Außenseite sich ein Filterkuchen absetzt, eine im Betrieb des Filters zwischen dem Außenmantel und dem Filterelement angeordnete, umstülpbare Membran, einen Druckstutzen am Außenmantel zur Ein- und Ausleitung eines Druckmediums, eine zum Raum zwischen Membran und Filterelement führende Einlaßleitung für das Flüssigkeit-Feststoff-Gemisch und eine aus dem Inneren des Filterelements herausführende Auslaßleitung für das gewonnene Filtrat. Um ein kleinstückiges Absprengen des Filterkuchens vom Filterelement zu bewirken, wird nach Ausbildung des Filterkuchens an der Außenseite des Filterelements ein gasförmiges Druckmedium in das Innere des Filterkuchens eingeleitet, solange der Filterkuchen noch ganz oder teilweise von der umstülpbaren Membran umschlossen ist.

Abstract: A typical fibre-optical cable has a central support element, optical fibres stranded thereupon, a strength member, a core winding and a cable jacket. The cable is severed at a cable branch and the optical fibres are directly spliced or connected to one another via coupling elements. The technology to date is complicated, particularly when signals are to be coupled in or out only in a few optical fibres on a fibre-optical cable. A simplification results when the optical fibres are applied to the surface of the support element (1) in such a way that one or more optical fibres (2) can be removed from parts of the fibre-optical cable with a sufficient excess length when the fibre-optical cable is removed in the respective region to such an extent that the optical fibres are accessible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a color identification system in which a video signal is rendered into three mutually distinct color element signals (R-Y, B-Y, and Y), a set of defined colors is established. The disclosed invention defines each color in the set by three compound color components (28, 30, 32) each compound color component being defined by pairwise combination of color element magnitude ranges. As the color element signals change at the pixel rate of the video signal, the invention combines them into three compound signals, each compound signal resulting from combination of a respective two of the color signals. Each of these pairwise combinations is compared with compound color component sets to determine whether the current pixel embodies a color in the set of defined colors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for heating a product (P) which includes a plurality of tapered ducts (90; 290) in a cabinet (20) above and below a conveyor (15; 215) to form streams which are directed toward the product (P). Spent air is drawn through return ducts (81; 89) which have intake openings (83, 87) centered between entrance (24; 224) and exit (26) openings in the cabinet (20) and centered between lateral edges of a conveyor (15; 215) and between the tapered ducts (90; 290) to provide a balanced flow of spent air in the cabinet (20) to the return opening (83, 87). Temperature controlled gas is delivered at an angle through an array of openings (98; 298) adjacent opposite edges of an opening (24, 26; 224) through which a conveyor (15; 215) extends to cause most of the heated air to be drawn to the return duct opening (83, 87) and to maintain internal pressure in the cabinet (20) to prevent ingress and egress of air through the opening (24, 26; 224).

Abstract: On utilise le procédé et le système afin de produire et de vérifier une carte d'identification personnelle. Le procédé commence par la production de la signature z (130). Ensuite, la partie autorisée stocke le mot de passe sur la carte ainsi que la signature z et un de quatre facteurs (132) prédéterminés. Le procédé se poursuit avec la présentation de la carte à des fins de vérification (134). Lors de la présentation de la carte, on procède à un test afin de déterminer si un nombre prédéterminé de preuves de légitimité ont été présentées (136). Si les preuves ont été présentées, alors z est accepté (138). Si les preuves n'ont pas été présentées, alors on produit un nombre aléatoire, élevé au carré afin de produire y, et ensuite y est soumis au vérificateur (140). Afin d'accuser réception de y, le terminal de transaction choisi au hasard un bit b, puis envoi le bit à l'unité de confirmation (142). Si b=0, alors l'unité de confirmation renvoi une valeur x mod M au terminal de transaction; et, si b=1, alors l'unité de confirmation renvoi xz mod M au terminal (144) de transactions. Si b=1 et yjQ mod M=W mod M pour j, alors le test du nombre de preuves de légitimité recommence, sinon la carte est rejetée. Si b=0 et W mod M=y, alors le test du nombre de preuves de légitimité recommence, sinon la carte est rejetée.

Abstract: The coupling connects a trailer to a towing vehicle. It has a mechanism to eliminate play between the two parts of the couplings (K). The coupling body (10) has a pin (12) which can slide vertically in an attached housing (14) and engages the eye (28) of the tow-bar (20). The tow-bar (20) is clamped against the pin (12) by a clamp (32) attached to one end of a rod (30) which has its other end attached to a piston (36) which operates in a cylinder (38). When the brake pipes are connected between the towing vehicle and the trailer the cylinder (38) is connected to the compressed air supply. The compressed air acts on the piston (36) and clamps the coupling. When the brake pipes are disconnected, the air supply is shut off and the clamp is automatically released.

Abstract: Devices for preparing a variety of hot drinks, such as, in particular, espresso machines, usually have a multi-path valve (2) which is used for conveying hot water or superheated steam generated in a water heater to different appliances, such as coffee filter, foaming nozzle and/or container. Due to the high temperatures and pressures, the multi-path valve is subject to considerable loads, which known valves cannot withstand or can withstand only if they are of complex construction. In the new device the multi-path valve is provided with a punched plate (8) and a rotatable plate cam (9). Rams (14) for closing distributor channels (5) are passed through the holes of the punched plate. The distributor channels are provided in a distributor block (1) on which the multi-path valve is flange-mounted. The position of the rams is determined by the rotational position of the plate cam provided with a guide crank for the rams.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling the power being supplied to a load (L,L') from an AC voltage source (V,V') by means of a static switch (I,I') comprising at least one controllable one-way switching element (T,T1,T2) and a rectifier (P,D1,D2) connected to said switching element and the source in series with the load. This method provides for the static switch (I,I') to make and break during each half-wave of the voltage supply (V,V') at first and second preset times, respectively. The first or make preset time is selected to have, at the first half-wave of the voltage supply that appears on the static switch upon activation thereof, a first predetermined lag (t0) from the moment the voltage across the static switch (I,I') is zero, and thereafter with the static switch connected to the source, a second predetermined lag (t2) from the moment the current (IT) flowing through the static switch is zero. The second or break preset time is selected to be coincident with the time when the current (IT) flowing through the static switch is zero.   A device operating on the above-outlined method can be used without problems at full power, and is reliable and compact. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for rejuvenation of strip acid employed in the reclamation of expended lead-acid battery acid through extraction and filtration for removing metallic impurities from the battery acid. In the process of removing impurities from battery acid through extraction, the extractant becomes loaded with impurities and loses its effectiveness. Extractant may be regenerated by contacting it with an strip acid. In the present invention, a reduction process is employed to regenerate the strip acid so that it may be used repeatedly. By recycling the extractant and the strip acid in the present invention, the present process further increases the effectiveness of battery acid regeneration-producing a reclaimed battery acid fluid which performs very well in new batteries and substantially reducing by-product waste in the regeneration of the battery acid.
