Filed: 1981-06-17
Granted: 1984-12-06
Abstract: A continuous method and apparatus for removing copper from lead comprises introducing molten lead and sulphur to the upper end of a vertical stirred reaction vessel, maintaining a dispersion of sulphur in the lead without substantial back-mixing and thereafter recovering the dispersion and allowing the formed copper sulphide to float to the surface. The process is suitable for continuous operation on a small scale, e.g. 3 tons per hour, is environmentally acceptable and requires a lead inventory only about one third of that required by conventional batch processes.

Title: Anticorrosive agent of steam and condenser systems and anticorrosive method of steam and condenser systems
Inventor: AKAMA SHUNICHI
IPC: C23F11/12
Filed: 1991-06-18
Granted: 1993-11-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of inhibiting corrosion in steam or the piping and equipment of a condenser system. In general, hygienic safety of steam generated by boilers or the like is urgently required when it is used in the processing of food, production of pharmaceuticals, or air conditioning of buildings. However there has not been any corrosion inhibitor which can be used safely irrespective of the purpose of the use of steam or the concentration of the inhibitor in steam. Therefor the use of a corrosion inhibitor has often been refrained from even though there has been a possibility of corrosion in steam or the piping and equipment of a condenser system, when there has been a need for hygienically safe steam. Under these circumstances the invention provides a method of inhibiting corrosion of steam and a condenser system by adding thereto a corrosion inhibitor containing at least one of vitamins A and E as the active ingredient, whereby hygienically safe steam can be used for the processing of food or the like without any fear of the pollution of steam and corrosion of piping due to chemicals. <IMAGE>

Title: Supporting material for the immobilization of microorganisms
Inventor: TROSCH W DR
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 1987-11-16
Granted: 1991-01-10
Abstract: With known carrier materials in bioreactors there is frequently blockage of the reactor with microorganisms or organic compounds. The new carrier material intends to make it possible for microorganisms or animal cells to be immobilised in a high concentration without blockage of the bioreactor occurring. 
<??>This object is achieved by using as carrier material beads which, on the one hand, consist of an open-pore inorganic sintered body which has pores which pass through the inside and are open to the outside and in which microorganisms and animal cells are able to be immobilised and grow and, on the other hand, have a density and a diameter such that, in a preset fluidised bed flow, the shear forces of the beads suffice to shear off the microorganisms or animal cells growing out of the interior of the beads and/or located on the surface. 
<??>The invention makes it possible to combine the advantages of the fixed bed reactor with the advantages of the fluidised bed reactor, and to avoid the disadvantages of both processes. The carrier material is not confined to the digestion of domestic and industrial effluents, it can also be employed for the biotechnological obtaining of essential dietary substances and pharmacological substances and of fermentation products.

Patent JP-H0471850-B2 (JP)
IPC: C03B7/02
Filed: 1988-02-01
Abstract: A glass bottle forming system is described in which a main glass melter is connected to a forehearth with a fairly conventional feeder provided at the delivery end of the forehearth. The feeder opening in the bottom of the forehearth is closed by a first orifice member through which a molten core glass will flow. Beneath the first orifice there is positioned a second orifice member that has an orifice that is slightly larger than the orifice in the first orifice member. A small melter contains a glass of essentially the same composition as that in the main melter, but with a coefficient of expansion slightly less than that of the core glass. This lower expansion glass is fed to the second orifice member so that it can flow out of the orifice with the core glass in surrounding relationship with respect thereto. The skin glass melter is connected to the second orifice member by a gravity feed system in which the connection is thermally controlled so that the viscosity of the two glasses are maintained essentially the same. Two embodiments of the skin melter and the second orifice are disclosed. In one embodiment the second orifice is vertically adjustable so as to vary the volume of skin glass flow relative to the core glass flow. The second embodiment has the second orifice supporting an annular bushing that is vertically adjustable and it cooperates with the bottom of the upper orifice member to regulate the flow of glass into surrounding relationship to the core glass coming through the first orifice member.

Abstract: A product comprising a mixture of a- and β- forms of glucose as microcrystals, at least 70% of the glucose being in the form of the a-isomer, dissolves readily in water to give approximately 60% solids solutions at ambient temperature. It is obtained by a process comprising the steps of1) evaporating water from syrup at a pressure of less than 400 mg Hg to provide an at least 60% supersaturated solution of greater than 95% solids at a temperature of from 95° to 140°C;2) subjecting the supersaturated solution substantially instantaneously to a shear force to cause immediate nucleation of the syrup without cooling; and3) immediately forming the nucleated but substantially uncrystallised syrup into a quiescent layer and allowing the layer to crystallise substantially isothermally to produce solid crystalline glucose.

IPC: H01R12/70
Filed: 1983-03-31
Abstract: The invention disclosed herein relates to a biasing means provided in one end of a card-receiving slot of a card edge connector. The biasing means includes a spring loaded wedge slidably positioned in a sloping passage at one end of the slot. The wedge includes a vertical surface which engages a side of the card as the card is inserted in the slot. The wedge moving down the sloping passage increases the slot length to accommodate the card width without exerting significant longitudinal force against the end walls of the connector. Further, the wedge cannot be moved up the passage by an uneven force being exerted on the card; accordingly, the card can only be removed from the slot in a straight line.
