Patent EP-0305881-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OSTERBERG RICHARD R
IPC: B03C1/12
Filed: 1988-08-24
Abstract: Mixed pieces of different non-ferrous metals are sorted by initially moving the pieces through a high density, rapidly changing magnetic flux field, and immediately thereafter, freely moving the pieces along unsupported forwardly and downwardly directed trajectories resulting from the momentum of the pieces, the force of gravity and the magnetically induced repulsive forces developed in the pieces by the flux field. The magnitude of the magnetically induced repulsive forces differ for different non-ferrous metals so that the lengths of the trajectories of generally similar size and shape pieces vary accordingly for separating pieces formed of different metals. The magnetic field is provided by a horizontally axised, rapidly rotating, hollow, liquid cooled, iron wall drum having magnets affixed to its outer surface. The magnets are arranged in rows that are formed of numerous, tile-­like, small, permanent magnets which are positioned end to end, with their like polarity ends adjacent. A belt conveyor, which moves the pieces across the top of the drum, has its discharge end pulley coaxially surrounding the drum so that the pieces freely move off the end of the conveyor belt after passing through the magnetic field. Hence, the lengths of the trajectories may be controlled by adjusting the speed of the conveyor, which adjusts the momentum of the pieces, and by adjusting the rotational speed of the drum for adjusting the frequency of the changes in the magnetic field and, consequently, the magnitude of the induced repulsive forces.

Abstract: An electronic sectionalizer for a branch line of a high voltage power distribution system has a resettable actuator for unlatching a trunnion member and release of a sectionalizer tube toward a disabled or drop-out orientation. The actuator includes an elongated, spring-loaded plunger normal­ly held by a latch in loaded position, and a sole­noid or the like is provided to shift the latch and enable movement of the plunger toward a released position for simultaneous swinging movement of the trunnion member. In certain forms of the invention, the plunger is directly engageable with a wall of the trunnion member, while in other embodiments of the invention mechanical advantage is provided by use of an elongated lever which is disposed in the path of the plunger and which bears against the trunnion member for initiating rotational movement of the latter.

Abstract: Granular detergent compositions contain a low level of ammonium salt or salt of specific anion chlorine scavenger which is preferably protected in a particle. Such salts protect enzymes in the wash process. The preferred particles can also comprise, e.g., a suds-controlling silicone material which is substantially removed from contact with the surfactant component or alkaline component of the composition. The particles preferably use, e.g., a polyethylene glycol carrier, with preferably a small amount of fatty acid, in an irregularly shaped particle having a minimum dimension of at least about 0.05 cm.

Abstract: X-ray energy in an x-ray beam is determined from a comparison of apparent absorption of energy by three different materials. Initially, the attenuation coefficients (10,12,14) of each of the materials as a function of x-ray energy is determined. The ratios of attenuation coefficient differences between two of the materials and between one of the two materials and the third material are plotted over an energy range of interest. Thereafter, the materials are x-rayed and their absorption characteristics determined. The ratio between the differences in absorption characteristics is then calculated in the same manner as the ratio of attenuation coefficients. Matching ratios are then used to identify the energy level of the x-ray beam.
