Inventor: FYSON JOHN RICHARD
IPC: G03C5/00
Filed: 1997-01-27
Abstract: This invention provides a method of treating waste
effluent, particularly photographic effluent,
containing reduced species such as thiosulphate or
sulphite, by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide or a
compound capable of releasing hydrogen peroxide, in
the presence of a catalyst therefor. The invention is
characterised in that the catalyst is immobilised on a
substrate. The catalyst may be selected from
chromate, vanadate and preferable molybdate or
tungstate and the substrate may comprise an ion
exchange material, especially an anion exchange
material. The invention further provides a holding
tank apparatus or a conduit apparatus for
carrying out this method. 
     The invention is particularly appropriate for use with
fixer from redox-amplification processes. With
conventional solutions with higher concentrations of
fixer a soluble alkali, especially potassium
bicarbonate, may be combined with the oxidising agent
and stored for at least 4 weeks without decomposition,
whereby the pH of the final effluent is rendered
environmentally acceptable.

Abstract: Vented ostomy pouches are disclosed in which a
first wall (11) is securable to a patient's peristomal
skin surfaces and the obverse second wall (12) is provided
with an outlet opening (21) for the escape of gases from
the pouch. A deodorizing gas filter (22) extends over
the outlet and a third wall (13), or internal barrier
wall, is located within the pouch and divides it into two
chambers. The barrier wall operates to block the passage
of solids and most liquids from the first chamber to the
second but is provided with at least one vent that permits
the flow of gases into the second chamber from the first.
A filter-protecting pane (30), in the second chamber
directs such gases along a circuitous route as they travel
from the vent to the outlet. A connection, preferably in
the form of a spot weld (35), joins the barrier wall to
the bodyside first wall of the pouch at about the
elevation of the filter to prevent the barrier wall from
blocking against other surfaces and obstructing the flow
of gases through the vent and filter.

Abstract: A supercharger arrangement for a vehicle engine equipped with a
screw supercharger (11). A bypass pipe (21) extends from a main
body of the screw supercharger (11) to an upstream intake air
pipe (10a) such that part of the intake air compressed to a
certain extent in the supercharger returns to an inlet of the
supercharger. A duty solenoid valve (22) is connected to the
bypass pipe (21) for controlling a flow rate of the air returning
to the inlet of the supercharger through the bypass pipe. The
screw supercharger is originally designed to match a low speed
condition and to feed an excessive amount of air at a high speed
condition. The solenoid valve (22) allows the intake air to
return to the upstream intake air pipe through the bypass pipe
from the supercharger when the engine is operated at a high speed
condition so that an excessive amount of air is not supplied to
the engine.
