Title: Foam filled soakaway - with soft under layer and dense top layer
Inventor: BOEHM FRIEDRICH DR
IPC: E03B3/34
Filed: 1971-11-05
Abstract: This material consists of a heat-resistant perlite and a binder in the set state and has a bulk density 100 (300-750) kp/m3. It is suitable for roof insulation medium heavy exterior walls with good bearing strength and heavy interior walls with good noise insulation. A pumpable slurry, suitable for casting in forms, can be made and the material lacks the disadvantages of clad hollow bricks with an insulating filling, sandwich structures and lightweight concrete. The thermally expanded perlite is a granular, incombustible, lightweight additive, which is insensitive to moisture and has microfine mainly closed pores. Walls made from this material are microporous, which is very important for the diffusion of water vapour, extremely weatherproof, not hygroscopic, chemically netural and odourless.

Title: Method of checking the functionality of a catalytic converter
Inventor: KETTERER ALEXANDER
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: In order to check the functionality of a three-way catalytic converter (4) of a lambda-regulated internal combustion engine (1), the catalytic converter effectiveness is determined in conventional manner through determination of the oxygen absorbing capacity. In order to be able to correct this effectiveness with respect to temperature changes, a substitute variable is calculated for the temperature in the catalytic converter and the value determined with it for the catalytic converter effectiveness is corrected. The measure for functionality of the catalytic converter (4) so obtained is meaningful even after unsteady operating phases of the internal combustion engine (1) when the catalytic converter is not yet isothermal.

Title: Mastic composition and method of preparing same
Inventor: ROBINSON HOWARD LLOYD
IPC: E01C19/10
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A mastic product comprising bitumen, filler and aggregate is prepared by introducing into a mixer aggregate in an unheated and undried condition and with a water content controlled to be at least about 3 % by weight by reference to the total mastic composition, adding all the required bitumen at elevated temperature while the mixer is in operation, subsequently adding the required filler in an unheated condition and continuing mixing operation whilst allowing the mixture to cool, to produce a granular product. The moisture content is controlled so as to provide sufficient "lubrication" for which a minimum input of about 3 % is appropriate, and the maximum water input should preferably not exceed about 7 % because of potential problems at the point of use. Water may be added to, or drained from, the aggregate before or after it is introduced into the mixer in order to maintain a designed mean water content in the final product of about 3.5 % and typically a maximum of 4 %.
