Abstract: The invention relates to a process for scrubbing medium regeneration in a physical gas scrubbing, in which predominantly substances of a first type are separated from a laden scrubbing medium (2, 17) by stripping (cold stripping) in a stripping column (enrichment column (A)) and predominantly substances of a second type are separated from a laden scrubbing medium (2, 17) by subsequent thermal regeneration in a thermal regeneration column (H), and to an apparatus for carrying out the process. The laden scrubbing medium (6) is, after the cold stripping, withdrawn from the enrichment column (A), preheated (E1), expanded (a) and subsequently subjected to a thermal desorption in a device for carrying out a thermal desorption (thermal desorption device (W)), in which the content of substances of the first type in the laden scrubbing medium is further reduced.

Abstract: In a method of separating wafers (12) from a vertical wafer stack (16), the wafers (12) are transported away individually from above via movement means (23) which act from above. The movement means (23) are designed as circulating belts (24), with a suction surface (25) against which the uppermost wafer (12) is made to abut, wherein the abutment of the wafer (12) against the suction surface (25) is enhanced by negative pressure or suction. In order to separate a plurality of wafers (12) located one upon the other, the movement means (23) are subjected to at least one of the following two steps: a) water (30) is jetted with force against the leading edge of the uppermost wafer (12), the water being directed obliquely from beneath the latter b) the movement means (23) guide the wafer (12) over a stripping device (32) which butts against the underside of the moving wafer (12) from beneath and both forces the wafer (12) against the suction surface (25) and generates a braking action thereon. Thereafter, the wafer (12) is moved on to a transporting path (35, 37) in order to be transported on for further processing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for use in processing "raw" pericardium.  The apparatus comprises of a mold having a gener-ally hemispheroid dome and a support base upon which the mold is mounted. The hemispheroid dome has a diameter suitable for stretching a peri-cardium over the dome. The invention also relates to a method for processing "raw" pericardium. The method involves stretching raw pericardium over a mold such that the pericardium conforms to the shape of the mold and the mold stretches the peri-cardium. This is followed by separating at least some of the fat layer off the pericardial tissue layer where the pericardium is mounted over the mold and finally removing fat from the total pericardium surface.

Abstract: An artificial stone is disclosed for use in creating a covering for a supporting surface. The artificial stone includes a body for placement on the supporting surface, which is shaped for mating engagement with like stones with intermediate perimeter joints to produce a continuous surface covering. The stone has a facing surface on the body, which facing surface has a contour defining a surface area and is subdivided by at least one simulat-ed joint into a major surface portion and at least one minor surface portion. The major surface portion is free of simulated joints and extends over at least about 60% of the total surface of the facing surface. The stone fur-ther includes at least one perimeter recess in the body for generating a gap between the stone and another like stone in mating engage-ment therewith, which gap is wider than adja-cent the adjoining perimeter joint. Stones of this construction can easily be arranged in a regular, repeated pattern to generate a contin-uous covering for the supporting surface with the surface of the resulting covering having an irregular, natural appearance. The irregular top contours of the stones, the uneven divi-sion of the facing surface and the perimeter recesses and the resulting gaps between mating stones simulate the appearance of a natural stone surface covering for walkways, roadways, pavements or walls.
