Abstract: A control valve system (10) has two valve trains each of which has a series of valves which dynamically move between a deactuated position and an actuated position. An inlet (14) of the valve system is connected to an outlet (16) of the valve system when all of the valves are actuated and the outlet of the valve system is connected to an exhaust (18) when all of the valves are deactuated. Each valve train includes a solenoid valve (36,38) which when actuated moves the remaining valve members (28,30) to their actuated position. The various valves of each valve train are interconnected with the valve of the other valve train such that actuation of all of the valves in a substantially simultaneous manner will connect the inlet (24) of the valve system to the outlet (16) of the valve system and deactuation of all of the valves in a substantially simultaneous manner will connect the outlet (16) to the exhaust (18). The valve system monitors the dynamic movement of the valve members during its operation will move to a locked out condition when any valve is in a deactuated position and when one other valve is in an actuated position. In the locked out condition, the outlet (16) of the valve system is connected to the exhaust (28). In one embodiment, the valve system will remain in this locked out condition until a resetting operation is performed. In an additional embodiment, the valve system will automatically reset itself <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plasticising and injection unit of a plastics injection moulding machine comprises: (a) an electric motor for screw rotation; (b) a hydraulic pump (21) connected to the electric motor (41); and (c) a piston and cylinder unit (24,26) providing linear drive for injection. The hydraulic pump (21) also functions as hydraulic motor and elements, provided for varying the pump or motor flow rate, are connected to a control unit (61). The piston and cylinder unit (24,26) forms a synchronisation cylinder and the hydraulic lines (22,23) indirectly connect the inlets and outlets of the piston and cylinder unit (24,26) and hydraulic pump (21) in a closed circuit. Also claimed is an operating process where the rotational direction of the electric motor remains the same and to allow the movement of the linear drive in both directions, the flow direction of oil inside the pump (21) is reversible and the control of rotational speed and/or torque is effected by the electric motor (41).

Abstract: Nickel/cobalt, as well as platinum and palladium metal family members are recovered from soil by growing Brassicaceae plants, specifically Alyssum in soil containing nickel/cobalt as well as other metals. The soil is conditioned by maintaining a low pH, low calcium concentration, and the addition of ammonium fertilizer and chelating agents thereto. Nickel accumulation on the order of 2.5 percent or better in above-ground tissues is achieved, which permits recovery of the metal by harvesting the above-ground plant materials, drying, and then combusting the same, to oxidize or vaporize organic materials and recover the metals sequestered therein at 10-20 fold higher concentrations than in the soil, in a form which can be used in conventional Ni refinery or smelting operations.

Abstract: Dans un système de communication de données pouvant effectuer des transmissions à débit variable, une transmission de données par paquets à débit élevé permet d'améliorer l'utilisation de la liaison aval et de diminuer le temps de propagation. La transmission de données sur la liaison aval est multiplexée dans le temps et la station de base émet selon le débit binaire le plus élevé soutenu par la liaison aval à chaque créneau temporel vers une station mobile. Le débit binaire est déterminé par la mesure la plus grande du rapport porteuse/brouillage des signaux de liaison aval mesuré à la station mobile. Lorsque la station mobile détermine avoir reçu un paquet de données avec erreur, elle retourne un message d'accusé de réception négatif (NACK) à la station mobile. Le message NACK a pour conséquence une retransmission du paquet de données reçu avec erreur. Les paquets de données peuvent être transmis hors séquence par l'utilisation d'un numéro de séquence servant à identifier chaque unité de données à l'intérieur des paquets de données.
