Abstract: L'avantage de ces toilettes pour chats par rapport à celles qui sont disponibles dans le commerce est qu'elles sont automatiquement nettoyées et alimentées en litière fraîche pour chats après utilisation. La matière composant la litière étant amenée dans un tiroir (6) à fermeture hermétique et avec cassette d'évacuation interchangeable (7), les nuisances dues aux odeurs sont largement exclues, ce qui répond aussi bien aux exigences de l'homme qu'au besoin de propreté des chats. Le problème est résolu par le fait qu'après chaque utilisation, le fond flexible (8) se retire au-dessous de la litière fraîche dans la tour d'approvisionnement (9), ce qui l'essuie et le nettoie en même temps, la litière utilisée tombant dans le tiroir (6) muni d'une cassette d'évacuation interchangeable (7) située dans la partie inférieure (1). Lors du mouvement en avant vers sa position initiale, le fond flexible (8) est réapprovisionné en litière fraîche par un dispositif de dosage (10) situé dans la tour d'approvisionnement (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for the treatment of catalysts (10) on metal supports, which have a metal shell (11), support foils (12, 14) and coatings (18) (washcoat) which are located on the support foils, enlarge the surface area and carry rare metals.   In order to provide a process which allows catalysts on metal supports to be separated, in the state as delivered without any preparation of the catalyst, in a simple manner into various constituents which can each be further processed in a manner appropriate to the material, where the constituent intended for the rare metal recovery should contain all catalyst rare metals completely in a high concentration free of chemicals or pollutants, it is proposed to comminute the catalysts (10) on metal supports mechanically into particles which differ from one another in weight, shape and/or size and, exploiting these differences, mechanically to separate particles with adhering rare metals from the remaining particles. The separation of at least the particles with adhering rare metals can already be carried out during the comminution effected by grinding, preferably in a beater mill (34), preferably by means of an air stream. The particles with adhering rare metals are in the form of dust and can be separated off in a dust precipitator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process and a device serves for producing defined piles of folded or unfolded sheets or sheet-like articles. The individually fed sheets (1) are deposited upright on a table (4), the separation of the individual piles taking place by means of a separating support (7) which can be moved at pile-forming speed parallel to the table (4). In order to make possible a separation and subsequent individualisation also of differently sized product piles, without requiring conversion measures, the formation of a first separating plane defining the pile start and of a second separating plane defining the pile end takes place by sequential introduction, transversely to the longitudinal extent of the table (4), of the separating support (7) into the pile cross-section. One further support (22, 23) in each case can be completely introduced into each of the two separating planes formed in this manner. If appropriate, a transfer support (17) is interposed which receives the separating plane from the separating support (7) and transfers it to one of the two further supports (22, 23). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plurality of single-crystalline diamond plates (52) having principal surfaces consisting essentially of {100} planes are prepared. The plurality of single-crystalline diamond plates (52) are so arranged that the respective principal surfaces are substantially flush with each other. At this time, an angle formed by crystal orientations in relation to the principal surfaces between adjacent plates (52) is not more than 5°, a clearance between the adjacent plates is not more than 30 µm, and difference in height in relation to the principal surfaces is not more than 30 µm between the adjacent plates. In order to fix such a state, it is possible to join the plurality of diamond plates with each other by depositing diamond on these plates. After such joining, the principal surfaces of the diamond plates are polished in order to eliminate steps. Then, diamond is epitaxially grown on a polished surface of a large diamond plate (53) which is formed by the plurality of diamond plates (52) from a vapor phase. In this vapor phase, proportions A, B and C obtained from the following equations I, II and III respectively satisfy the following conditions: 
0.5 ≦ A ≦ 2.0 
0.3 ≦ B ≦ 2.0 
C ≦ 1.0 
 
       A = ([C]/[H]) x 100 %   I           
 
        B = ([C] - [O]/[H]) x 100 %   II           
 
        C = ([O]/[H]) x 100 %   III           
 
 where [C], [O] and [H] represent molar numbers of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms respectively. According to this method, it is possible to obtain vapor-deposited diamond which exhibits a maximum diameter of at least 15 mm, transmittance of at least 20 % with respect to ultraviolet light of 250 nm in wavelength, and a peak having an angular half-width of not more than 100 seconds in an X-ray rocking curve in a (400) plane or a half-width of not more than 2 cm⁻¹ at 1332 cm⁻¹ in a Raman scattering spectrum.

Abstract: Information on positioning of a patient during x-ray examination is provided by imaging a marker, notably a lead-letter (9a-d), simultaneously with imaging a patient. Remote-controlled markers (9a-d) are provided attached to separate moveable flat frames (10,11). The use of a flat frame makes possible to incorporate an arrangement for remote-controlled position/ and or orientation, within the serial film changer without increasing required vertical space. Thus comfortable and easy access for a patient onto the patient table is provided. 
     The motion of relevant frames (10,11) along guide rails is performed by means of a system of motors (19,20), belts (21) or chains and pulleys (22,23). The motors (19,20) are controlled by means of potentiometers (28) and a micro-processor (29) that supplies signals in correspondence with a required motion of a relevant frame. The motors are positioned within the serial film changer and aside of the patient support table. As a consequence restriction of the longitudinal motion of the patient support table is avoided. 
     By means of a system of levers and switches (30a-d) collision of frames with the outer casing of the serial film changer is avoided. Further safeguarding against unintentionally imaging markers is provided by means of a system of levers and switches that transmit a signal to the micro-processor whenever markers are positioned in a predetermined position in which they are outside the x-ray beam.

Abstract: A method for treating wastewater sludge so that a stability based upon achieving a significant microbial population, conductivity level and percent solids, is developed rapidly, is provided for indefinitely and is independent of climatic conditions. A dewatered sludge that has not been treated (ie., raw) or a sludge that has been treated to a PSRP level or a sludge that has been treated to a PFRP level, ie., pasteurized or sterilized sludge, when still in a wet condition, ie., between 12%-30% solids, or when in a dry condition, ie., between 30%-60% solids, is mixed with alkaline adsorptive materials to reduce odor, to increase the percent solids and to facilitate granulation, is adjusted to a mildly alkaline pH, and is adjusted to an ionic conductivity which will allow the sludge to mature rapidly when seeded with a beneficiating microbial flora. This process will reduce the pH of a high alkaline treated sludge, eg., often above pH 12, to a physiological pH of between 7 and 9.5 or will raise the pH of a treated acid sludge to a similar range so that microbial activity can proceed to facilitate stability. Heat may be applied to the mixture to accelerate the carbonation and aid the overall drying process. The granular product, substantially due to its active microbial population, is useful as an agricultural product and topsoil blend.
