Abstract: In the case of perforated drainage concrete blocks, in particular paving blocks of various shapes and sizes, which are laid on rain-exposed surfaces, such as roads, paths, squares, carparks and tree-surrounding beds, and are filled at the lateral ends by means of pointing compounds or sand, the problem exists that the holes become blocked during the pointing or introduction of sand. To avoid this, the holes are closed at their upper end until the pointing or sand-introducing operation is complete. Advantageously, this is effected by a filling medium which can be washed away or dissolved by adding water. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un panneau comprend, outre une plaque de verre frontale, une plaque métallique poreuse dotée de multiples trous réservés aux cellules d'affichage et situés aux points d'intersection de deux groupes d'électrodes linéaires disposés à des intervalles donnés. Vu du côté de l'affichage, le diamètre des trous de cette plaque métallique poreuse est supérieur à ce qu'il est sur la face arrière où ces ouvertures sont obturées hermétiquement par une substance diélectrique inorganique fondue. On obtient ainsi un panneau d'affichage à plasma qui est mince, léger et facile à assembler.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing reduced fat (oil-depleted) nuts of a controlled and preferably increased volume by the use of microwave heating. The term "nuts" as used herein refers to edible whole or half kernels of nuts such as hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts and the like. The described process for producing reduced fat nuts comprising pressing the nuts to remove a proportion of the oil therein, exposing the oil-depleted nuts to moisture to hydrate them to a desired degree, drying the hydrated nuts to dry them to a desired degree, and then optionally roasting them, wherein at least part of the drying and/or of the roasting when carried out is effected using microwave radiation. Preferably the oil-depleted nuts are hydrated by subjecting them to steam, especially at a pressure of from 0.5 to 5.0 bars for from 0.5 to 5.0 minutes at a temperature of from 90 to 150 DEG C. The nuts produced by the process of this invention have good sensory properties and are essentially free from contamination by bacteria, yeasts and moulds.

Abstract: Cast iron gears, such as those used as cam gears on engines and as used for fuel injection gear pumps, which have a hub (2) and a rim (3) that are thick in comparison to the relatively thin web (5) used to interconnect the hub (2) with the rim (3) and a process by which such iron gears can be cast, especially in a vertical orientation. To eliminate porosity problems, single flow channel of substantial thickness is incorporated into the mold cavity which forms a flow rib (10) that runs radially between the hub (2) and rim (3) of the gear (1) being formed. To compensate for both the added weight of the rib (10) that is produced on the web (5) of the resultant gear (1), as well as to counterbalance the effect caused by the presence of a single rib (10), at least one opening (12) is formed in the web (5) at each side of the rib (10).

Abstract: Copper and/or nickel sulphide ore concentrates of high intrinsic energy value are oxygen smelted by introducing such concentrates via feeds (32) into a closed loop extraction circuit in which a molten sulphide carrier composition is forcibly circulated by an R-H unit (14) through lower hearth (10) at which feed of the concentrates takes place, and upper hearth (12) at which controlled oxidation with technically pure oxygen through top lances (4) takes place to oxidise copper sulphide and iron sulphide in the concentrate to iron oxide. Copper is removed via line (42). Slag containing iron oxide is discharged via weir (22) into a secondary circuit in hearths (24 and 28). Carbonaceous reductant added to the slag in hearth (28) reduces the iron oxide in the slag to hot iron product.

Abstract: A personal number communications system assigns a personal number to each subscriber, and receives from each subscriber communication routing information in the form of one or more hierarchical lists of destinations based on the time of day and day of the week. The hierarchy and composition of the lists may be changed or may be overridden to direct selected communications to a specific destination. The system receives communications directed to a subscriber's personal number and identifies the source of the communication. The identification may be made through calling line identification, through a personalized list of callers, or though source identification. The system selects a first destination for the communication from the hierarchical list. At the first destination, the system announces the identified source of the communication and requests disposition information as to the acceptance, formal rejection or passive rejection, such as a no answer, of the communication. If accepted, the system routes the communication to the first destination. If rejected, the system routes the communication to the default destination selected by the subscriber. If there is a passive rejection, the system requests communication disposition information from the next destination in the destination list according to the hierarchy selected by the subscriber. The system continues to request communication disposition information from each sequential destination on the destination list until the communication is accepted or until the last destination on the destination list is reached, at which point the communication is routed to the last destination.

Abstract: An apparatus (G) for producing soldered multi-layer metal tubes (10) has a rolling device (A-E) with several forming-roller pairs (21, 21; 24, 25) for the gradual plastic forming of a flat metal strip (11) into a slit tube (at 17) and then into an at first unsoldered, multi-layer tubular body (RK). The multi-layer tubular body (RK) passes through electric feeder points (P1, P2) of a conductive heating zone (Z). The electric feeder points (P1, P2) have contact rollers (24, 25; 28, 29) arranged at an axial distance from one another. The conductive heating zone (Z) has a preheating zone (ZV) and an annealing zone (ZG) following downstream. A cooling section (at 32) follows the annealing zone (ZG). A forming-roller pair (24, 25) enclosing the unsoldered, multi-layer tubular body (RK) at the same time forms the first contact-roller pair arranged upstream, which represents a first electric feeder point (P1) at the start of the heating zone (Z). A second contact-roller pair (28, 29) arranged downstream of the first contact-roller pair (24, 25) forms the second electric feeder point (P2) as well as the end of the heating zone (Z) and is provided with a separate drive for a greater circumferential speed than that of the first contact-roller pair (24, 25). The tube-conveying device (F) arranged downstream behind the cooling section (at 32) can be adjusted as a function of the tube-feed rate prevailing in the area of the second contact-roller pair (28, 29). <IMAGE>
