Title: Upright cylindrical reinforced-concrete containers, especially for storing fluids
IPC: E04H7/18
Filed: 1989-01-23
Granted: 1992-03-18
Abstract: An upright cylindrical container for storing fluids has a container wall made of prefabricated reinforced-concrete wall elements (5, 5'). The wall elements (5, 5'), which are flat on their outer faces (7) and curved on their inner faces (8), have recesses (9, 10) at their longitudinal edges. To form the container wall (2), in each case two wall elements (5, 5') are arranged overlapping one another with their longitudinal edges in such a way that the recesses (9, 10) of adjacent wall elements (5, 5') in each case form a cavity (13). Projecting ends (17, 18) of an annular reinforcement (16) reach into the cavity (13) and are jointed therein by overlapping. After sealing the joints (6', 6''), the cavities (13) are filled with hardening material, e.g. cement mortar. As a result, a secure, sealed connection of the wall elements to the container wall is achieved in a simple and economical manner. <IMAGE>

Title: Straight connection piece for penetration into hollow profiles serving as spacing elements for insulating glass panes
IPC: E06B3/66
Filed: 1989-02-15
Granted: 1992-06-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a straight connection piece (1) for in each case engaging partially, preferably about halfway, in hollow profiles which are to be interconnected at their end faces and preferably serve as spacing elements for insulating glass panes or the like. In this case, the outer cross-sectional shape of the straight connection piece (1) like the hollow profile, whose inner hollow cross-section is adapted thereto, has at the transition point of the wall of the hollow profile which is remote from the gap in the insulating glass pane or the like in the use position and the profile webs facing the pane faces an approximately oblique or rounded transitional surface (3). The straight connection piece (1) according to the invention is characterised in that there is provided on either side of the centre of the straight connection piece (1), which corresponds to the butting point of the profiles, a ramp (4) which rises towards the centre of the straight connection piece (1). In this arrangement, a clearance is provided between the straight connection piece (1) and the inner side of the hollow profile at the beginning of said ramp (4) which is remote from the centre, and at the end of which the straight connection piece (1) has a sliding or clamping fit in relation to the hollow profile or the ramp (4). The object of the straight connection piece (1) according to the invention is to align mutually distorted hollow profile ends of, in particular, a thin- walled hollow profile in their longitudinal mid-planes (E1, E2). <IMAGE>

Title: Process for recycling fly ash with a given humidity in a combustion plant for the destruction of organic noxious matter in the fly ash
IPC: C04B18/02
Filed: 1989-11-17
Granted: 1993-02-03
Abstract: In a process for recycling organic pollutants contained in the fly ash from an incinerator into the latter for the destruction of dioxins and furans in filter cakes formed, for example, by solid/liquid separation from fly ash combined with scrubbing fluid, as residues from a waste incinerator, the pollutants are embedded before the recycle into a ceramic matrix which remains essentially stable dimensionally even under the mechanical stress in the incincerator until after the temperature action due to the combustion of the slag. For this purpose, the filter cakes are adjusted to a defined residual moisture content, subsequently mixed with a defined fraction of bentonite, heated and then recycled at a defined geometry into the incinerator furnace.

Abstract: A system for locating a breaking point of a transmission line using a highly accurate time signal transmitted from an artificial satellite while adopting a digital data processing method. This system comprises a master station and a slave station, each comprising a surge detection circuit for detecting surge voltage resulting from breaking, a GPS receiver for supplying a predetermined frequency pulse and a reset signal via a radiowave from the artificial satellite, and time counter/time base to be reset every second on receiving the signal from the GPS receiver and converting the predetermined frequency pulse from the GPS receiver into a binary coded digital signal. By latching the count of the counter by means of the event pulse generated when the surge voltage is detected and changing the count into a digital code, the signal on the part of the slave station is transmitted to the master station, whereas a processor controller of the master station compares the signals of both stations to compute the distance up to the breaking point.

Abstract: A billiard ball tracking system is disclosed. According to the present invention, the system may be used to either instruct a player to improve his playing capabilities or to rate the comparative skills of two competing players. The system according to the present invention is provided with means to indicate a selected layout of cue ball (20) and object balls (15) and means for indicating a preferred shot. Once a player has designated a particular object ball and the desired movement of the ball on the playing surface of a pool table, the system will calculate the optimum paths (17) of cue ball and playing ball in order for the playing ball to be pocketed as designated by the player. In the most preferred embodiment of the present system, the system will, through the use of a laser tracking system (40), accurately track the changing position of all of the playing balls on the playing surface (13) of the pool table (12). The system is also capable of instructing a player as to the proper line of attack of a cue ball to a called playing ball by projecting a laser-generated image directly onto the pool table (12) to outline the proper path of cue ball to called playing ball. The system according to the present invention may also include recording means (66) to record a preceding series of shots or an entire match to be replayed later at the convenience of the pool player or players.

Title: Intervertebral flexible stabilizer and process and device for determining or controlling its tension before implantation in the spine
IPC: A61F5/02
Filed: 1990-02-02
Granted: 1993-05-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to an inter-vertebral stabilizer having one or more flexible ligaments. Each flexible ligament can be engaged with two respective vertebrae and/or associated with two retaining elements, such as screws, each of which is suitable for being implanted in a respective vertebra. The present invention also relates to a process, and the associated apparatus, for determining or verifying the tension of such an inter-vertebral stabilizer before it is put into place on the spinal column. This process includes implanting, in each of the vertebrae concerned, a corresponding rigid rod extending outside the patient's body. The rods in each pair of adjacent rods are immobilized in an initial position. If the pain which is to be removed by the stabilizer persists, the process includes modifying the distance between the rods, then in immobilizing the rods in their new relative positions and in repeating the pain test. This cycle of operations is repeated, if necessary, until the pain disappears. The length to be allocated to the ligament is deduced from the distance then attained between the two rods.
