Title: Connecting a shaft to a bore
Inventor: MORELLI PETER ALAN
IPC: F16D1/08
Filed: 1993-09-08
Abstract: A shaft (44,144,145) is conventionally driveably connected to a bore (46,146) by a steel key of rectangular cross-section. Where the shaft is of smaller diameter than the bore, a slotted nylon sleeve is fitted between them and a tall steel key extends through the slot. Failure of both standard and tall keys can occur for various reasons. A unitary component (50,162,163) of suitable plastics material or non-ferrous metal is therefore proposed. This component essentially includes an integral key (56,174) of curved cross-section adapted to engage in a mating keyway (176) formed in the bore. Where the shaft (44) and bore (46) are nominally of the same diameter, the component (50) consists also of an integral key (52) of rectangular cross-section adapted to engage in the conventional keyway (48) in the shaft. Where the shaft (144,145) is of smaller diameter than the bore (146), the component (162,163) also includes a sleeve (164) with the key (174) of curved cross-section formed on its outer periphery, and a keyway (170) of rectangular cross-section formed in its inner periphery and adapted to be driveably connected by a separate standard key (171) to the conventional keyway (148,149) in the shaft. The component is useful in the flange-mounting of different electric motors on off-the-shelf gear units. <IMAGE>

Patent ZA-964953-B (ZA)
Title: Method for evaporating process wastewater
Inventor: JOHANSSON HANS
IPC: C02F1/04
Filed: 1996-06-11
Abstract: In the evaporation of process wastewater comprising a mixture of different types of wastewater, problems arise due to the formation of reaction products, so-called incrustations, which are difficult to separate. These incrustations clog up the evaporator, thus necessitating frequent stoppages for chemical and mechanical cleaning of the evaporator. The invention concerns an improved method for concentrating process wastewater by evaporation. In this method, one acid process flow and one alkaline process flow are evaporated alternately in one and the same evaporator. With this method, precipitates that are difficult to separate are dissolved in the evaporator during the respective evaporations. As a result, stoppages motivated by the need to clean the evaporator may be avoided to the utmost possible extent, while less and cheaper processing equipment is required.

Title: Optical network unit
Inventor: MONZAWA TAKASHI
IPC: H04B10/556
Filed: 2000-02-16
Granted: 2004-02-25
Abstract: An optical network unit and an optical line terminal which efficiently control the data receiving and dechurning processes in a passive optical network. In a churning parameter memory subsystem, a first memory bank stores churning parameters that are currently used, while a second memory bank stores updates made to the churning parameters. Under the control of the churning parameter memory subsystem, those first and second memory banks change their roles with each other at a churning key updating time point. A data dechurning unit receives a data stream consisting of a plurality of frames and dechurns the information contained in the data stream, according to the stored churning parameters. When an update is done to the parameters in a certain frame, the data dechurning unit makes the update effective at the next frame, thus starting data dechurning operations from the next frame.
