Title: Process for removing, separating, and concentrating metals
Inventor: KRAKOWIAK KRZYSZTOF E
IPC: C09K3/00
Filed: 1994-05-06
Granted: 1997-04-17
Abstract: A method for the removal, separation, and concentration of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl cations from a source solution which may contain larger concentrations of other ions comprises bringing the source solution into contact with a compound comprising an oxygen donor macrocycle-containing ligand covalently bonded through an organic spacer silicon grouping to a solid inorganic support. The ligand portion(s) of the compound has affinity for alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl thereby removing them from the source solution. The alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl cations are then removed from the compound through contact with a much smaller volume of a receiving solution in which these cations are either soluble or which has greater affinity for such cations than does the oxygen donor macrocyclic ligand thereby quantitatively stripping the complexed cations from the ligand and recovering them in concentrated form in said receiving solution. The concentrated cations thus removed may be further separated and recovered by known methods. The process is useful in the removal of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and Tl cations from a variety of source solutions such as from semiconductor, nuclear waste cleanup, metals refining, electric power, and other industrial enterprises. The invention is also drawn to the oxygen donor macrocycle-containing ligands covalently bonded through a spacer grouping to a hydrophilic inorganic solid support material.

Title: Conjugate recovery binding assays and devices
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1991-04-26
Granted: 1993-05-27
Abstract: The novel analytical devices and methods of the present invention involve a solid phase material, such as a test strip, through which a test sample and a conjugate travel and sequentially contact at least two defined sites for the comparative display of immobilized conjugate. The two defined sites of the present invention include a capture site to which is attached a capture reagent and a conjugate recovery site to which is attached a conjugate recovery reagent. The immobilization of conjugate in these sites is relative to the amount of analyte in the test sample. As the amount of analyte in the sample increases, there is a decrease in the detectable conjugate at the capture site and a corresponding increase in detectable conjugate at the conjugate recovery site. The devices and methods can be used for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte in a test sample containing or suspected of containing the analyte of interest. Optionally, a polyvalent conjugate can be used.

Patent DE-1902722-B2 (DE)
Title: Strand winding control - has trip cams and control switches to ensure change-over for each wound layer on drum has constant tightness
IPC: B65H54/28
Filed: 1969-01-21
Abstract: In winding stranded material onto a drum, the strand is guided by a fork to build up each wound layer on the body of the winding drum. The direction change switch is triggered by the movement of the cable guide fork at the limits of the angular zero movement. When the switch is triggered, the fast winding drive is switched off, and a time switch is started and a counter registers the number of drum rotations. After a preset number of drum rotations, and the strand material has started to form the next wound layer, the fast winding drive is resumed in the opposite direction. The system ensures that each wound layer is tightly wound and that the strand material is distributed evenly and with a constant tension on the drum.

Patent JP-H0688105-B2 (JP)
IPC: B22D11/07
Filed: 1993-02-02
Abstract: In a method for the continuous casting of metals, especially aluminium or aluminium alloys, in a multi-mould casting installation, disturbances in the progress of casting are to be compensated for immediately so that optimum bar quality is obtained. This is achieved, according to the invention, by feeding in a pressurised gas and a lubricant underneath the hot top of each mould via at least one gas line, a regulating valve for setting the volume flow of gas, a downstream pressure sensor and a device for measuring the said volume flow being arranged in each gas line. It is furthermore envisaged, according to the invention, that the volume flow of gas in each gas line be automatically held constant at a predetermined value, irrespective of the respective filling level of the mould, in a first casting phase from the beginning of the filling of the mould with molten metal to a point in time following the entry of the metal strand into the water-cooled zone. During a second casting phase, the volume flow of gas in each gas line is automatically regulated in such a way that the gas pressure in each gas line is held constant at a predetermined value.

IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 1978-06-28
Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable remote control and to avoid the reapplication of power supply at the restoration of power failure, by providing the auxiliary power supply switch and this control circuit. CONSTITUTION:When the switch 5 is closed, the auxiliary power supply circuit 4 is in operating condition and the start switch 13 is closed for a short time, and start pulse is out-putted to the control circuit 10 from the start pulse generating circuit 14. The relay drive circuit 9 is controlled with this control circuit 10 to close the auxiliary power supply switch 6 and to apply power supply to the main power supply circuit 2. After that, this auxiliary power supply switch 6 is switched with the remote control signal to the remote control reception circuit. Since the start switch 13 is not closed at the restoration of power failure, no reapplication of power supply is made.
