Abstract: A jacking pipe includes a socket (20) provided with an internal groove (6) for the receipt of a sealing gasket (9) capable of providing a seal between the internal wall of the socket (2) and the external wall of a further plain-ended pipe spigot inserted into the open end of the socket (2), the wall of the socket (2) being provided along its length with a wall thickness sufficiently strong for its purposes of receiving and sealing therein a pipe spigot and carrying within the pipework fluid at a high pressure. The jacking pipe is characterised in that the outer periphery of the wall of the socket (2) increases in diameter in incremental steps (17,18) such that the radially outer wall (14,15,16) of the socket is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof, and changes in diameter are carried out by steps (17,18) generally normal to said axis.

Abstract: Particulate material such as for example soil contaminated with heavy metals, radioactive species and organics, singly or in combination, is treated by first washing the contaminated material with a contaminant mobilizing solution. Large particles are mechanically separated, washed with water and returned to the site as recovered soil. Fines, along with contaminants, are separated from intermediate sized particles by a countercurrent flow of the contaminant mobilizing solution, preferably in a mineral jig (18). The intermediate sized particles are then abraded in an attrition scrubber (22) to dislodge attached fines. These additional fines are separated from the intermediate sized particles with a countercurrent flow of wash water in a second mineral jig (26). The slurry of intermediate sized particles and wash water is dewatered to produce additional recovered soil. If the contamination includes insoluble heavy metal particles, they are separated from the effluent discharged from the second mineral jig (26) by density separation preferably in a cross-current flow jig (30), prior to dewatering. Various techniques can be used to separate the fines and the contaminants from the contaminant mobilizing solution which is recycled.

Abstract: In a memory designation control device according to the present invention, a rewriting program for rewriting the contents of a first memory device (11) storing a basic program is stored in a second memory device (12) different from the first memory device (11). When the system power supply is turned on in a case where the on-off state of a mode selecting switch (24) is a state where a normal processing mode is selected, only the first memory device (11) among the first memory device (11) and the second memory device (12) is brought into a selectable state. Consequently, in the normal processing mode, normal processing is executed on the basis of the basic program. When the system power supply is turned on in a case where the on-off state of the mode selecting switch (24) is a state where a rewrite processing mode is selected, only the second memory device (12) among the first memory device (11) and the second memory device (12) is brought into a selectable state at the time of a read instruction, while only the first memory device (11) among the first memory device (11) and the second memory device (12) is brought into a selectable state at the time of a write instruction. Consequently, in the rewrite processing mode, rewrite processing is executed on the basis of the rewriting program.
