Abstract: An agglomeration process for metallurgical by-products and waste products is described, utilizing the sulphate material present in the metallurgical waste and by-products, which involves reacting the sulphate with water and optionally with an added alkaline earth metal compound. Sulphuric acid may also be added to the particles to be agglomerated. The obtained mixture is extruded or cast, and allowed to harden before being used in recycling to an extractive process. The agglomeration mechanism involves one or more of, hydration of a water soluble sulphate, precipitation of a water insoluble alkaline earth metal sulphate and hydration of a water insoluble sulphate.

Abstract: The invention concerns a machine tool comprising a plurality of spindles which are disposed parallel to one another and preferably vertically for the transport of the workpieces or tools to and from the machining point and for the simultaneous or different, separate machining of a plurality of workpieces. The spindles, which can be driven about their axes of rotation and displaced in their axial direction, can be displaced on horizontal guide tracks together or relative to one another. According to the invention, all the spindles (10, 11) can be displaced such that they are supported independently of one another, in each case with a separate carriage (3, 4) on guide tracks (2) disposed at different levels and on one side on a securing plane. The carriages (3, 4) are imbricated in one another such that the outer carriage(s) (3) surrounds (surround) the inner carriage(s) (4) in frame-like manner.

Abstract: La présente invention permet de déterminer de manière automatique des données géométriques telles que la disposition, les dimensions et les positions relatives de documents images placés sur une tablette ou un tambour de scanner. On se fonde sur les données de scanning relative à une surface donnée pour dégager et analyser les caractéristiques de luminosité. On fait ressortir principalement des bordures horizontales et verticales par un filtrage numérique. A partir des caractéristiques de luminosité, on se détermine en fonction d'une valeur seuil pour obtenir une image binaire dont on examine les contours. En fonction de la longueur, de la largeur et de la hauteur des surfaces enfermées à l'intérieur desdits contours, on détermine les contours du document image. On détermine par une transformation de Hough des droites adaptées aux contours du document image et, sur la base de ces droites, les données géométriques desdits documents.

Abstract: A first substrate (100) of the three layer structure
composed of a lower layer portion (110A) consisting of
silicon, a middle layer portion (120) consisting of SiO 2 
and an upper layer portion (130) consisting of silicon is
prepared. Impurity is doped into the lower layer portion
(110A) so that it has conductivity. The lower surface of
the lower layer portion (110A) is etched to form a diaphragm
portion (112) and a pedestal portion (111), and then a
second substrate (200) consisting of glass is joined to the
portion therebelow. By the electrodes (E) on the second
substrate (200) and the diaphragm portion (112), capacitance
elements are formed. Grooves (G11 to G17) are dug by
dicing blade from the upper surface of the upper layer
portion (130) thereafter to downwardly dig the bottom
portions of the grooves by etching until the upper surface
of the lower layer portion (110A) is exposed. When the
respective unit areas (U1, U2) are cut off, there is
obtained a structure in which a weight body (131) is
positioned at the central portion of the diaphragm portion
(112) and a pedestal (132) is formed at the periphery
thereof. Piezo resistance elements may be used in place of
the capacitance elements.

Abstract: A silicon semiconductor material (15) is charged in a
double-structured crucible of an outer crucible (1) and an inner
crucible (2). The crucible is heated from the upper side
thereof by the heat radiated from a heating member (8) energized
by an induction heating coil (7), so that the silicon raw
semiconductor material is melted. The bottom of the crucible
(1) is mounted on a supporting bed (4) cooled by cooling water
supplied from a cooling medium tank (13). The silicon
semiconductor material (15) is melted in the inner crucible (2)
and starts solidifying from the bottom portion thereof. The
silicon semiconductor material (15) expands in volume at the
time of solidification. Since a gap is formed between the inner
crucible (2) and the outer crucible (1), however, the outward
extension of the inner crucible (1) with the silicon
semiconductor material (15) alleviates a strain generated at
the time of solidification, thereby producing an excellent
polycrystalline semiconductor ingot. As a result, the strain
in the polycrystalline semiconductor ingot produced by the
unidirectional solidification process is reduced to improve the
quality.
