Abstract: In the production of thin film that is extruded onto a cooling roller and then fed through a further treatment station such as stretching roller station, it may become necessary to stop the extrusion if a fault is present in the further treatment station. In order to avoid stopping the extrusion, a detour station with a roller set is positioned between the extrusion station and the further treatment station for detouring extruded film in response to a detected fault in any system component, except the extruder, whereby the extrusion can continue while the film is supplied to some other use while its supply to the further treatment station is interrupted. The detouring roller set includes at least one guide roller and a press-on roller that is automatically movable, for example by a piston cylinder device into a working position in response to a fault signal. When the fault signal is no longer present, the press-on roller is moved into a rest position for a continued supply of the extruded film into the further treatment station.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for dispensing chemical material, and in particular, granular, agricultural material, from a moving device driven over terrain to be treated with the material. A metering system for dispersing the material includes on apertured metering disk (70) positioned above a rotatable impeller (114). The apertured disk meters material from a product container (6), by gravity feed, onto the impeller (114) below at a rate proportional to the linear speed at which the apparatus is driven to dispense material at a uniform density over the terrain. The metering disk (70) is a component of a product container (6) which is removably mounted to the device. The impeller (114) rotates at a constant speed to disperse the deposited material at a uniform distance from the apparatus, and the position on which the material is deposited on the impeller (114) is adjustable. A clutch permits the user to discontinue dispensing material from the device at the selection of the user, and automatically discontinues dispensing of material when the apparatus is driven in a reverse direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A known method for removing biomass from a liquid eliminates only cells bonded on solid substances and proteins, but not suspended cells. The present invention relates to a method enabling a larger amount of biomass to be removed with a lower consumption of chemical products, energy and water, whereby liquid first runnings, the biomass contents which is lower than that of the operating liquid, are fed into the reactor; a Redox potential not falling below a set first-runnings value is placed in the operating liquid at least in a locally delimited area; the operating liquid is fed into the reactor after the Redox potential has been placed into the first-running liquid, while a Redox potential not falling below a set first operation value has been placed in said liquid at least in a delimited area, which operation value is to be sufficiently high to damage the cells contained in the operating liquid to such an extent that they cannot float anymore; and the operating liquid is cleaned by flotation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to prioritizing special cells in cell selection in a cellular radio network. In a cellular radio network one or more cells provide a subscriber with special services or tariffs not offered to all subscribers. These cells are called subscriber's special cells. The mobile station measures an average reception level and calculates by means of them cell selection parameters on the basis of which the best cell is selected. In accordance with the invention, when the mobile station detects that the cell is one of cells of a special cell list stored in a memory, it checks first if the cell fulfils a minimum requirement of cell selection on the basis of the measured signal level. If the minimum requirement is fulfilled, the mobile station manipulates the calculation of the cell selection parameter of a special cell to the effect that the selection probability of a special cell is improved with respect to a normal cell. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the manipulation of the calculation comprises a step of adding a predetermined margin to the measured signal level of a special cell before the cell selection parameter is calculated. This will minimize the possibility that the mobile station would accidentally be camped on a normal cell when it is within the area of a special cell.

Title: Apparatus for lead contamination control
Inventor: RUSSELL LARRY L
IPC: C23F13/16
Filed: 1998-09-28
Granted: 2005-09-07
Abstract: Control of lead contamination in residential water supplies is accomplished by cathodic protection of lead-containing piping and lead-containing fixtures. Specifically, a partially insulated wire is inserted into lead-containing service lateral piping. Application of a DC current to the partially insulated wire causes the wire to act as an anode and transforms the walls of the pipe into the cathode, thereby protecting against corrosion. Alternatively, a sacrificial anode is inserted into a lead-containing fixture. The electrical potential generated by corrosion of this sacrificial anode transforms the walls of the fixture into a cathode, thereby preventing corrosion. Carbonate scaling built-up prior to the initiation of cathodic protection may be removed by temporarily blocking the water pipe and introducing cleaning chemicals.
