Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating an organic waste containing hydrogen and carbon in molten metal to form enriched hydrogen and carbon oxide gas streams. In one embodiment, the organic waste is introduced into a molten metal contained in a carbonization reactor without the addition of a separate oxidizing agent and under conditions sufficient to decompose the organic waste to generate hydrogen gas and carbonize the molten metal. Carbonized molten metal is directed from the carbonization reactor to a decarbonization reactor and an oxidizing agent is introduced into the carbonized molten metal in the decarbonization reactor to oxidize carbon contained therein thereby decarbonizing said molten metal and generating an enriched stream of carbon oxide gas.

Abstract: A rapid deployment system for recovering oil from beaches includes an articulated vehicle for propelling and suspending a vacuum head above a beach or the like. A selected area of the beach is irrigated with sufficient quantities of water to saturate the selected area. Oil deposited on the beach is driven to the surface. A sufficient quantity and velocity of air moves over the surface beneath the vacuum head to develop a water column upon which resides a frothy foam mixture of air, water and oil which is drawn into the head. In the vacuum head, the velocity of the air flow is suddenly and significantly reduced above a fluid sump wherein entrained oil and water droplets fall into a sump for processing outside of the vacuum head. A metal auger can be provided within the vacuum head to pump oil from pools and separate entrained oil droplets from the high velocity air flow. A special terrain vehicle which propels and supports the vacuum head is modular and can be transported by helicopter with the entire system.

Abstract: A predictive function expressed by a dot matrix is applied to binary image data and an object dot is converted into, e.g., white data so as to increase the number of white data. A run length coding is performed on the image data where the number of the white data is increased, thus compression is performed on the image data at high compression rate. When expanded, the compressed image data is expanded by run length decoding. A reverse prediction is performed by using the predictive function, thus, original image data is obtained.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for detecting the onset of labor in a patient, which comprises analyzing a body fluid of the patient for estriol concentration; correlating the concentration with a standard value; and relating a higher concentration of estriol relative to the standard value as an indication of potential onset of pre-term labor. The standard is usually selected from the group consisting of (1) a predetermined range of estriol concentrations for the body fluid in normal pregnant humans at a preselected time relative to normal, full-term delivery, or (2) a previously measured estriol concentration of the same body fluid of the same pregnant human. Use of this method does not require determination of an estriol/progesterone concentration ratio in the body fluid being test.

Abstract: Blocking unit for blocking a Fallopian tube. In order to avoid local anaesthetic and difficulty when inserting such a blocking device into the Fallopian tube and, on the other hand, to ensure sufficient anchoring in the Fallopian tube, it is proposed, on the one hand, that the end of the blocking device should be widened and, on the other hand, that it should be such that said widening does not occur until after the insertion into the Fallopian tube. In other words, provision is made for retaining means, in which the widened end is accommodated in the reduced state, which retaining means are rendered inactive after insertion into the Fallopian tube. This can be achieved by, for exemple making these retaining means from a bioabsorbable material or an applicator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a switch and in this method, the changing of prevailing light intensity is observed and the switch is controlled on the basis of the prevailing light intensity so that the switch is switched on when the light intensity falls below the set threshold value and then a load, for example an illuminator, is connected to a source of electricity and respectively, the switch is switched off when the light intensity exceeds the set threshold value and then the load is disconnected from the source of electricity. According to the invention, when a prominent and relatively stable change in the prevailing light intensity (A) is detected, this is interpreted as being morning and/or evening depending on the direction of the change; from these moments of changes in light intensities, the time of sunrise (ta) and/or respectively the time of sunset (tb) may be calculated; and according to the calculated time of sunrise and/or sunset, a clock is synchronized and by means of this clock, the daily timing of the switch is achieved as well as the control of the switching of the load, such as an illumintaor, connected via the switch to the source of electricity and off from it by following a desired program.
