Abstract: The invention relates to a device for intensive biological waste-water treatment with freely moveable immersed biofilm, combined with mixing devices and, optionally, the introduction of air. The freely moveable immersed biofilm is used to immobilize specific micro-organisms in certain areas for waste-water treatment. In comparison with previously known devices, the invention is characterized in that the clarification process is more intensive due to the additional freely moveable, suspended/ floating immersed biofilm and its proportional oxygen supply from a special mixing device, provided upon emergence into the atmosphere in addition to aeration from fine bubbles. A substantially greater utilization of oxygen is obtained by enriching the air of the recycled sludge or waste-water through multiphase pumps. According to the invention, the activated sludge process is combined with the freely moveable immersed biofilm process in an installation. Said freely moveable biofilm is introduced into a sewage-treatment basin (1) as a biofilm carrier with an activated surface to immobilize specific micro-organisms in association with appropriate mixing devices (7) having a scooping effect due to paddles (3) and the proportion of activated sludge (6). Waste-water (4) flows through the sewage treatment basin (1) which comprises a retaining device (5) for the freely moveable immersed biofilm (2).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré d'oxydation sélective d'un alkyle-5- valérate en monométhyle adipate (par exemple un méthyle-5-valérate en monométhyle adipate). En procédant à une oxydation à l'air à une pression élevée (c'est-à-dire supérieure à 10 bars à l'air et de préférence entre 35 et 65 bars), et à une température moyenne (c'est-à-dire entre 20 et 120 °C), en l'absence d'un catalyseur, le taux de conversion industriel peut être maintenu, tout en conservant une sélectivité optimale en faveur du produit voulu. Ce procédé à haute température est particulièrement utile à un fonctionnement continu du réacteur d'oxydation, permettant ainsi de conserver une sélectivité optimale aux dépens de la transformation par passage, transformation suivie de la séparation du produit et du recyclage des réactifs.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un dispositif à semi-conducteur doté d'un transistor MOS comportant une structure de drain faiblement dopé. Un diélectrique de grille (6) et une électrode de grille (7, 8) sont formés sur une surface (5) d'un substrat de silicium (1). La surface contiguë à l'électrode de grille est alors exposée, et une couche de semi-conducteur (10) est formée sur une tranche (9) de la surface contiguë à l'électrode de grille. Des ions (13, 14) sont implantés par la suite, l'électrode de grille et la couche de semi-conducteur agissant comme un masque. Enfin, on procède à un traitement thermique qui permet la formation d'une zone de source (16, 17) et d'une zone de drain (18, 19) par activation d'ions implantés et diffusion d'atomes d'une impureté provenant de la couche de semi-conducteur. Les parties (b) de ces zones formées par diffusion sont faiblement dopées et se situent entre les parties plus fortement dopées (a) formées par activation d'ions implantés, et la zone de conduit (20, 21). On forme ainsi une structure de drain faiblement dopé. Dans le procédé selon l'invention, une couche de semi-conducteur formée par Si1-xGex, avec 0,1 < x < 0,6, est disposée sur la tranche contiguë à l'électrode de grille. Cette couche est sélectivement éliminée par attaque chimique après le traitement thermique, ce qui permet d'empêcher la formation de capacités drain-grille parasites.

Abstract: Lightweight, non-woven loop products for hook-and-loop fastening are disclosed, as are methods for making them and end products employing them. The products are non-woven webs of entangled fibers of substantial tenacity, the fibers forming both a sheet-form web body and hook-engageable, free-standing loops extending from the web body. The product is stretched and stabilized to produce spaced-apart loop clusters extending from a very thin web of taut fibers. In important cases a binder is added to stabilize the product in its stretched condition. An example of the loop product is produced by needle-punching a batt of staple fibers in multiple needle-punching operations, applying a foamed acrylic binder, and then stretching the needled batt and curing the binder with the batt stretched. Other forming techniques are disclosed and several novel articles and uses employing such loop products are described, such as for filters and fasteners.

Abstract: The method involves determining the actual rotation frequency of the shell during a time-limited calibration phase, immediately after being launched. The method takes into account the deviation of the actual muzzle velocity of the shell from the theoretical muzzle velocity by determining the actual muzzle velocity using the effect of the earth's magnetic field on the shell indirectly via the actual rotation frequency. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also claimed. The use of the apparatus to increase the efficiency of a weapon system is also claimed.

Abstract: Runflat tires are generally made by including a stiff insert in the sidewall thereof. This insert should be as stiff as possible to help support the weight of the vehicle to which the tire is mounted in situations where there is a loss of air pressure. However, the material used in making the insert should also exhibit low hysteresis and must be processable. This highly beneficial combination of properties is attained by utilizing the compositions of this invention in making inserts of runflat tires. This invention discloses a runflat tire which is comprised of a generally toroidal-shaped carcass with an outer circumferential tread, two spaced beads, at least one ply extending from bead to bead and sidewalls extending radially from and connecting said tread to said beads; wherein said tread is adapted to be ground contacting, wherein said sidewalls contain at least one insert radially inward from said ply and wherein the insert is comprised of (1) a cured polydiene rubber that is coupled with a Group IVa metal selected from the group consisting of tin, lead, germanium and silicon, (2) from about 30 phr to about 130 phr of a filler and (3) from 0.1 phr to 5 phr of a fatty acid. The insert will generally extend radially inward from under the outer circumferential tread toward the bead to which the sidewall extends. It is normally preferred for the cured polydiene rubber to be coupled with tin.

Abstract: An automatic drain valve for discharging accumulations of fluids and foreign materials from a fluid handling system. The drain valve (10) comprises a reservoir (14) defining a reservoir volume (15) and a thru-port (28), in fluid communication with the reservoir volume (15), that defines an inlet (30) and terminates in a drainage valve (82) for flowthrough communications with a fluid handling system. An actuating mechanism selectively actuates a valve operator. In the preferred embodiment, a pilot valve (41) is mounted in the reservoir (14) for selectively communicating pressurized air to a valve operator (57), such that the valve operator selectively opens and closes the drainage valve (82) communicating with the outlet (88) of the reservoir (14) for selectively draining the reservoir. The pilot valve (41) includes a sensor tube (42) which defines a valve seat (44) and includes a magnetized valve plug (46) for selectively engaging the valve seat (44), the valve plug (46) having a selected magnetic polarity. A level sensing float (52) disposed within the reservoir (15) carries an annular magnet (56) normally having a polarity opposing that of the valve plug (46) such that the annular magnet (56) acts upon the valve plug (46) selectively opening and closing the pilot valve (81) as the float (52) rises and falls from a raised position to a lower position with the level of liquid within the reservoir (14).

Abstract: A gasket of flexible, resilient material for a door or window has a sealing part 46a, 46b, 48 and an attachment part 24. The sealing part is designed such that, under increasing compressive force, it reaches a geometric lock configuration. Before geometric lock is achieved, the gasket deforms its shape under compression, straightening a convex linking wall 48 such that the wall 48 pushes connecting ends of two side walls 46a, 46b outwards. Once compressive force is sufficient to straighten the linking wall 48, the gasket shape resists further compressive deformation and so the gasket achieves a geometric lock. <Figure 1>
