Patent EP-0541195-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JANICH HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: F23L11/00
Filed: 1992-11-09
Abstract: The diverter valve system for a conduit (1) designed in particular for gas pipes of large dimensions contains two outlet pipe pieces (1b, 1c) in each case with a shut-off member (6, 7) which is adjustable between an open position and a closed position, these shut-off members (6, 7) being adjustable synchronously and in opposite directions by means of an actuating drive (3a, 4a) via a control device (5). In this case, each actuating drive (3, 4) is formed by a double-acting pressure unit (3, 4), the activation of which in opposite directions brings about a synchronous opening and closing in opposite directions of the two shut-off members (6, 7) in the associated outlet pipe pieces (1b, 1c) of the diverter valve system for a conduit, so that a safe and reliable operation of the associated installation is guaranteed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Signal processing apparatus comprises a chrominance subsampler (10) for sampling the U and V components of a PAL video signal in response to an enable signal. A counter (30) responsive to the horizontal synchronisation component of the PAL video signal generates the enable signal upon detection of a predetermined number of horizontal synchronisation pulses. Logic (60,70,80) responsive to the vertical synchronisation component of the PAL video signal resets and disables the counter (30) upon detection of a vertical synchronisation pulse. Logic (50,60,70,80) restarts the counter (30) from a reset state upon detection of a predetermined polarity in the V component of the PAL video signal

Abstract: Process for the conditioning or recycling of used ion cartridges. The invention relates to a process for the treatment of ion cartridges or elements ensuring the treatment of contaminated waters of storage ponds or pools for nuclear reactor fuels. By cartridge transfer and suction means, said treatment consists of extracting the ion exchange resins contained in the cartridge. When the resin has been extracted, a conditioning process makes it possible to decontaminate and then condition, independently of the resinous substance, the metal structure constituting the cartridge. When the resin has been extracted, a recycling process makes it possible to clean the impurities from the metal structure and fill it again with new resin. The invention has applications in the nuclear field and in particular in the field of treatment and conditioning of nuclear waste.

Title: Blast pipe and tuyere arrangement.
Inventor: SKOELD BROR ERIK
IPC: C21B7/00
Filed: 1992-01-17
Abstract: Fuel and combustion gas are supplied to the blast pipes and tuyeres of a blast furnace through injection lances which have an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube is generally used to carry the fuel, while the space formed between the inner and outer tubes is used to carry the combustion gas. Such a lance can have a heat resistant tip which has a bore for forming an extension of the inner fuel supply tube, and which also has a number of helical channels disposed about the bore for forming an extension of the space between the tubes. It is advantageous to have more than one such lance in each blast pipe and to have the lances extend obliquely into the hot blast channel that is formed by the blast pipe and the tuyere.

Abstract: The organiser (2) for optical fibres (22) which are to be used in a fibre-optic measuring device (20) comprises a baseplate (12) and circumferential side walls (6) for delimiting a flat receiving chamber (13) which is preferably subdivided by a separating plate (8) into an upper and a lower receiving chamber element. In one of the side walls (6) of the organiser (2) at least one cutout (7) is provided via which the optical fibre is inserted into the receiving chamber or withdrawn therefrom. Also present is a removable sealing plate (9). The organiser for optical fibres can be used to avoid laying over-long connecting pieces of fibre in loops in fibre-optic measuring instruments, and to avoid the need to fix such pieces by bonding on part of the chassis or housing, something which always leads to unavoidable drilling and makes redisposition or changes in the design difficult. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a controlled credit facility in a telephone subset. The subset is provided with a central processing unit (CPU) (3) and a keypad (4). The CPU is programmed by the proprietor of the subset with the keypad. After validation of a personal identification number, the proprietor can enter data representing a predetermined credit limit in a memory of the CPU. A client may then establish a connection via the PSTN using the subset. When the connection is established the CPU deducts stored charge unit data from the memory at predetermined periods until the credit limit is reached, whereupon the CPU disconnects the subset from the PSTN. 
     The subset may be coupled to a facsimile machine and the controlled credit facility used by a client for facsimile transmissions.

IPC: C23C16/02
Filed: 1993-08-17
Abstract: Gold can be selectively deposited onto a catalytically-activated region on a surface of a workpiece in the presence of a catalytically-inactive region on the surface by a chemical vapor deposition method. The method involves placing the workpiece in a vacuum chamber and evacuating the vacuum chamber to a base pressure equal to or less than a catalyst-activity-preserving upper pressure limit to eliminate effectively gaseous catalyst-deactivating contaminants from the chamber. The surface composition of at least one region of a target surface of the workpiece is altered to produce a catalytically-activated region on the target surface. At least one region of the target surface disjoint from the catalytically-activated region is a catalytically-inactive region. A gaseous alkylated (trialkylphosphine)gold compound is introduced into the vacuum chamber to expose the target surface of the workpiece to the compound. The vacuum chamber is essentially continuously evacuated during exposure of the target surface to the gold-containing compound to maintain the vacuum chamber effectively free of gaseous catalyst-deactivating contaminants and to sweep gaseous reaction products from the vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber is maintained effectively free of gaseous reducing agents during exposure of the target surface to the gold-containing compound. The target surface of the workpiece is maintained at a selective-deposition temperature which is effective to induce the gaseous gold-containing compound to deposit gold on the catalytically-activated regions of the target surface and to inhibit the compound from depositing gold on the catalytically-inactive regions of the target surface.

IPC: F16H61/14
Filed: 1993-03-02
Abstract: An improved control of a motor vehicle torque converter clutch (TCC) (26) which detects a condition of TCC engagement when open converter operation is required, and activates an override mechanism to disengage the TCC independent of the normal TCC control in response to the detected condition. This ensures that the TCC is disengaged when open converter operation is required, thereby permitting continued operation of the vehicle in conditions where the vehicle would otherwise be inoperable. When unwanted TCC engagement is detected, the control activates a clutch priority valve (90) by intentionally commanding the engagement of two or more range clutches. When so activated, the clutch priority valve exhausts all but one range clutch and hydraulically disables engagement the TCC. When the vehicle speed is sufficiently high to permit TCC engagement, all but one of the range clutch pressure commands are eliminated, and the clutch priority valve returns to a normal state to permit TCC engagement.
