Inventor: TIPTON GARY A
IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'épuration des eaux usées (10) qui comprend une cuve (12) délimitant une zone de traitement aérobie (13), une zone de microculture en suspension (14) incluant un milieu de séparation (52), un drain de sortie en contact avec la sortie de la cuve, et, éventuellement, une zone de traitement anaérobie (11). Une aération sensiblement continue alimente en énergie le milieu de séparation (52), effectue la suspension partielle du milieu de séparation (52) et imprime aux eaux usées un mouvement ascendant continu dans ladite zone (14). Le liquide mixte, l'air montant du fait du flux d'air impulsé par l'aérateur, et quelques milieux de séparation (52) se déplacent à l'intérieur d'une cheminée (18) située au-dessus d'une partie de la zone de microculture en suspension (14) et s'étendant au-dessus de la zone de traitement aérobie. Après percolation à travers les bactéries aérobies, les eaux usées sont recirculées vers la zone de microculture en suspension (14) puis vers la zone du drain de sortie afin que le drain de sortie reçoive l'eau de percolation ainsi clarifiée.

Abstract: With a turbo type fluid machine provided with a
primary dry gas seal (9) and a secondary dry gas seal (10),
abnormality in an amount of a working gas leaked from
between a rotating ring (7a, 7b) adapted to rotate with a
rotor (4) and a stationary ring (8a, 8b) is detected by a
pressure switch (14) and a flow meter (15), which are
provided in a primary seal vent line (12), and meanwhile,
the working gas leaking from sealing surfaces (17) of a
labyrinth seal (16) and the secondary dry gas seal,
together with a purge gas purged to a space (18) from
outside is discharged outside the machine from a flow
passage (34) via a space (33). when abnormality generates
in the secondary dry gas seal, a control valve (19)
provided in the purge gas line operates to secure a flow
rate in the purge gas line, so that a flow rate detected by
the flow meter provided in the purge gas line increases,
and thus abnormality in the secondary dry gas seal is
detected.

Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: By coding (ENC1) data (D), coded data (CD) and, in addition, a set of parameters (PAR) for decoding (DEC1) the coded data (CD) are obtained. MPEG video coding is an example of such a coding. The coded data (CD) is modified by carrying out the following steps. The coded data (CD) is, at least partially, decoded (DEC1) so as to obtain decoded data (DD). The decoded data (DD) is modified (MOD) so as to obtain modified data (MD). The modified data (MD) is coded (ENC) so as to obtain coded modified data (CMD).  It is examined (EXAM) whether a satisfactory result will be obtained if the set of parameters (PAR) for decoding the coded data (CD) is applied for decoding (DEC2) the coded modified data (CMD). If the result is satisfactory, the set of parameters (PAR) for decoding the coded data (CD) is added to the coded modified data (CMD). If the result is not satisfactory, a new set of parameters (PAR) is established (ADP) and the new set of parameters (APAR) is added to the coded modified data (CMD). Accordingly, the coded data (CD) can be modified with relatively little distortion. An example of a modification which can be carried out in this manner is a 422/420 format conversion of MPEG-coded video.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods for the protection and consolidation of calcareous materials. An exemplary method includes providing an aqueous solution of a hydroxycarboxylic acid, adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution by adding an alkaline agent, and applying the pH-adjusted aqueous solution to a calcareous mineral to form a conversion layer on the mineral. The calcareous mineral may, for example, be carbonate rock, particularly limestone and marble, or may be part of masonry material, aggregates, or fillers. Adherent conversion layers are readily formed at ambient temperatures and, therefore, methods provided are suitable for field application. Conversion layers so formed are provided as further embodiments.

Title: Device for preparing hot beverages and method for preparing hot beverages using said device
Inventor: JOERGENSEN CARSTEN
IPC: A47J31/047
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A device for preparing beverages of the type having a closed compartment (c2), an open compartment (c1), an ascension pipe (23) connecting the compartments, and a filtering device (f1) between the ascension pipe (23) and the open compartment (c1), has some disadvantages in that an external heating source is needed, thereby increasing the risk of fire and burning the operating persons. Further, the infusion time is either fixed, being decided by the distance between the lower orifice of the ascending pipe and the bottom of the closed compartment or left to the user to estimate. The inventor has consequently suggested, that the bottom of the closed compartment (c2) at least has two levels (H1, H4), one level of deminished elevation (H4) in a relatively small area around the lower orifice of the ascension pipe (23), the level (H3) of which is at least below the other elevated level (H1) of a relatively large area, said large area being equipped with electrical heating means (he1, he2) controlled by switching means and at least one temperature sensitive means ( theta ) for controlling the switching means, said large area of the bottom being surrounded by a rim (25) for holding a residual of liquid. <IMAGE>
