Granted: 1986-03-26
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH83/00091 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 11, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 11, 1984 PCT Filed Jul. 27, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/00805 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 1, 1984.Such a drying plant has drying surfaces (4) superposed in a chamber (1) and extending over the depth of the chamber (1). The drying surfaces (4) are provided with heating plates (3). The upper run of an endless conveyor belt running on rollers (6,7) is guided over the drying surfaces. The material to be dried is applied by a dosing device via a pipe (9) having branches (10) to the moving belts (5) uniformly over the width until the entire drying surface (4) is covered. The belts (5) are then stopped and the dosing operation is completed. The drying operation is then carried out on the drying surface (4) while the belts (5) are stationary. The belts (5) are then moved in the opposite direction, so that the dried material is thrown off via the rollers (7) and discharged through a discharge opening (13) and a charging valve (14). Thus, the drying operation is carried out under optimum conditions known for drying cabinets. However, the operations of feeding and discharging the material are simplified as compared with conventional drying cabinets and can also be automated.

Abstract: A complete prompt gamma ray neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) bulk material analyzer is self contained in a sealed and air conditioned housing. Bulk material is channeled by an open-ended vertical chute having a one-foot-by-three-foot cross-sectional dimension through an activation region between three neutron sources and two gamma ray detectors. The sources are symmetrically disposed on one of the three-foot- long sides of the chute from one end of such side to the other. The detectors are symmetrically disposed on the opposite side of the chute between positions opposing the positions of the sources on the one side of the chute. The chute is dimensioned to enable free flow of various bulk materials. It handles coal of up to a top size of four inches and with typical surface moisture contents and aglomeration characteristics. The relative disposition of the sources and detectors results in the measurements being independent of the lateral distribution of the bulk material within the chute. The signals produced by the detectors are continuously processed by signal processing equipment sealed within a separate compartment in the container to provide periodic measurements of the elemental content of the bulk material channeled through the activation region. A measurement of the bulk material channeled through the activation region during each periodic measurement interval is processed over several measurement intervals with the periodic elemental content measurements to provide weighted average measurements of the elemental content of bulk material over time periods representing average lots of the bulk material.

Abstract: A self-securing ball-and-socket joint which has a ball head integrally formed on a rod, an outer structural part having a bore that pivotably receives the ball head and a radially elastic CIRCLIP brand retaining ring as well as a separate auxiliary assembly tool for the retaining ring. In the outer structural part beside the center of the ball head, there is a circumferential groove having a support face for the retaining ring. When the ball-and-socket joint is assembled, the retaining ring is first inserted into the circumferential groove. Then the auxiliary assembly tool is inserted into the bore. At its initial end the auxiliary assembly tool is embodied in the manner of a centering and expansion tool, so that it aligns the retaining ring with respect to the circumferential groove and finally forces it into this groove. Upon further displacement of the auxiliary assembly tool, the retaining ring snaps home into a detent notch provided on the circumference of the auxiliary assembly tool. As a result, the retaining ring is prevented from falling out of the outer structural part. For final assembly of the ball-and-socket joint, all that remains to be done is to insert the ball head in the course of which the auxiliary assembly tool moves away from the CIRCLIP retaining ring and the CIRCLIP retaining ring finally snaps home into its securing position in the groove in the rod outwardly of the ball head.
