Abstract: The invention relates to a microfiltration process, in particular for separating beer from a materials flow which is purged during the fermentation process and which takes along the excess yeast produced during the fermentation, wherein the materials flow containing haze substances to be filtered is passed under pressure through at least one microfiltration module with porous membranes carrying a tangential flow and a filtrate is taken off. According to the invention, the materials flow to be filtered is continuously fed to a circulated retentate flow, and a concentrate flow having a substantially constant concentration of haze substances is taken off from the retentate flow. The flow velocity and the flow pressure drop of the retentate flow are measured and the concentration of haze substances in the retentate flow is determined from the measured data according to a function F (v,  DELTA p) which is characteristic of the apparatus and which contains the flow velocity (v) and the flow pressure drop ( DELTA p) as variables. The concentrate flow rate is controlled in accordance with the difference in the concentration of haze substances, resulting from a comparison of actual and set values.

Abstract: Méthode de commande d'un commutateur de canal radio dans un système mobile numérique de communication utilisant TDMA. Une station mobile mémorise l'état de synchronisation dans un canal de commutation, commute vers un canal donné, et produit un effet d'entraînement, pendant une période prédéterminée afin de mémoriser l'état de synchronisation. La communication s'effectue en faisant revenir le canal à l'état de synchronisation dans le canal mémorisé, l'état de synchronisation est réglé une nouvelle fois de façon à correspondre au canal mémorisé, et l'opération d'entraînement est effectuée à plusieurs reprises afin d'établir une syncronisation par rapport au canal. La communication est poursuivie par le canal de communication jusqu'à ce qu'une synchronisation soit établie avec ledit canal et la communication rendue possible. Ainsi le canal radio est commuté sans interruption dans les signaux de parole. Des horloges de référence commune équipent une pluralité de dispositifs de radio communication dans une station de base, et on attribue à chacun de ces dispositifs un paramètre d'état de synchronisation de la réception dans tout intervalle d'un canal de fréquence attribué. Lorsqu'il est opportun de commuter le canal, ledit paramètre dans le canal de commutation est modifié en fonction du dispositif radio à commuter de sorte qu'il commence aussitôt à recevoir les signaux dans le même état de synchronisation de réception que celui du canal de commutation.

Abstract: The present invention provides an extruder for highly foamed plastic material for coating a central conductor of a coaxial insulated cable with an insulator made of a mixture of a plastic material, preferably polyethylene, and an inert gas, such as nitrogen gas, to serve as a foaming agent. An inert gas is introduced approximately halfway down the extruder through a lead-in portion. At the lead-in portion of the extruder is a vent portion wherein the screw is provided with a plurality of stirring blades extending radially from the screw toward the inner surface of the extruder. These stirring blades provide a means by which the inert gas is mixed thoroughly into the plastic material. The above invention provides a means of producing an insulating material in which an inert gas (such as nitrogen), rather than hydrocarbon chloride fluoride, is used as a foaming agent, thus avoiding potential harm to the ozone layer.

Abstract: An auxiliary instrument for inducing a man into the states of sleep, meditation and the like by utilizing light. This instrument (1) has such a construction that illuminants (9, 10, 11 and 12) are disposed on blinders corresponding to the both eyes at locations on opposite sides of, and above and below respective center points (14a, 14b) of the blinders. The conventional inducing auxiliary instrument has been constructed such that one each illuminant is provided at each of the eye positions of the blinders, whereby the respective illuminants are frequently shifted from the eye positions due to variations in the distance between the both eyes, thus reducing the effect by half. In this respect, by use of the inducing auxiliary instrument according to the present invention, some of the illuminants on the opposite sides, and above and below correspond to the positions of the both eyes, so that a desired inducing effect can be obtained reliably. <IMAGE>
