Granted: 1984-09-13
Abstract: A signal to be analysed is fed from input terminal 1 to analog-digital converter 6. The resulting digital signal is fed in parallel to digital low- (or high-) pass filters 16 to 22. The outputs of filters 16 to 22 are fed to square circuits 23-1 to 23-7. Subtraction circuits 24-1 to 24-6 receive the outputs of respective pairs of square circuits (e.g. subtraction circuit 24-1 receives the outputs of square circuits 23-1, 23-2, and subtraction circuit 24-2 receives the outputs of square circuits 23-2, 23-3). 
<??>The subtraction circuits 24-1 to 24-6 derive differences between the outputs of the pairs of square circuits to which they are connected. The differences are fed to accumulators 25-1 to 25-6 which accumulate received differences over a period of time then output accumulated values. The output accuulated values give indications of power levels in different frequency bands of the signal to be analyzed over the period of time concerned.

Granted: 1986-04-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for converting metal-containing waste material having substantial quantities of organic constituents, such as plastics, rubber, paper and greases, to a product from which metal can readily be recovered. The waste material is introduced into a reactor vessel arranged for rotation about its longitudinal axis, the vessel being provided with a bottom and a common charge and discharge opening, whereafter the reactor vessel is rotated with its axis inclined to the horizontal plane at an angle of less than 90 DEG . The reactor vessel is maintained during this rotation at a temperature which is sufficiently high to expel organic constituents in the form of a combustible gas for as long as such a gas continues to be generated. The combustible gas is combusted continuously at a location external of the reactor vessel, and the residual content of the reactor vessel is taken out in a molten and/or non-molten state. During at least a part of the expulsion process, air or gas containing free oxygen can be supplied to the reactor vessel through a lance in sub-stoichiometric amount.
