Abstract: A stone metering system for a railroad track maintenance vehicle providing improved accuracy in stone delivery. The system includes a surge hopper, a number of metering augers, and a corresponding number of splitters. The metering augers convey ballast stones from the surge hopper to the corresponding splitters, which divide the stones evenly between a number of blow tubes. The pitch of the auger screw flights is increased from the inlet end of the screw to "expand" the stone and reduce the production of fines. In addition, the diameter of the final screw flight is reduced at the outlet end of the auger to provide a consistent and even flow of stone into the splitters. The splitters are dynamically adjustable to provide even distribution between the blow tubes regardless of the cant to the rails. The desired amount of stone is delivered to the tubes by rotating the auger screw the number of full or partial revolutions associated with the amount. In an alternative embodiment, each of the metering augers is replaced by a conveyor having a belt divided into a series of uniformly sized compartments each conveying the same quantity of stone. The desired amount of stone is delivered to the tubes by driving the belt so that a desired number of compartments are emptied into the splitter.

Abstract: A battery-operable portable electronic device, having a removable main power source and an auxiliary power source, generates a power failure interrupt signal when it detects a power failure of the removable main power source. Upon detection of the power failure, the electronic device enters a power down mode in which it monitors recovery from the power failure. The electronic device monitors recovery from the power failure by using a battery check routine it pushes on the stack of a microcontroller, and pops off the battery check routine from the stack upon determining a stable recovery, while returning to an exact point in a main program it left when it detected the power failure, the exact point in the main program being represented by a program counter value automatically pushed on the stack upon occurrence of the power failure interrupt signal.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for regulating the aeration in a biological wastewater treatment plant using a carbon removal stage, a nitrification stage and a denitrification stage. The process includes the step of continuously measuring the value of oxidation-reduction potential of the treated medium as well as measuring oxygen concentration of the treated medium during aeration phases. This permits maintaining aeration if the oxygen concentration falls within a preselected reference range. Alternately there is reduction of the aeration if the oxygen concentration is above the preselected reference range, or increasing the aeration if the oxygen concentration falls below the preselected reference range. The process requires comparing the oxygen concentration in the treated medium with the preselected reference range during a transition of the oxidation-reduction potential (partial nitrification/total nitrification); and adjusting the reference range of oxygen concentration to a new set of values to correct the oxygen concentration toward a preselected desired level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sorting a paper mixture according to which the paper mixture is sorted into a fraction of mixed paper and a fraction of deinking paper. The aim of the invention is to improve the sorting process in such a way that the quality requirements of the deinking quality can be reliably met and that the staff required for sorting is reduced. To this end, the paper mixture is reduced to a grain size of approximately 40 to 100 mm and the reduced paper mixture is separated by air separation into a heavy fraction that contains mixed paper and a light fraction that contains deinking paper at a separation speed of approximately 1 to 5 m/sec. The invention further relates to a device for sorting a paper mixture that allows fulfillment of the quality requirements of the deinking quality and that can be carried out with a reduced number of staff. To this end, a disintegrator for disintegrating the paper mixture is provided. Downstream of said disintegrator an air separator for separating the disintegrated paper mixture into a heavy fraction and a light fraction is mounted. Said air separator has a classification cross-section that can be adjusted to a separation speed of between 1 and 5 m/sec.
