Patent EP-0347609-B1 (EP)
IPC: H01M6/52
Filed: 1989-05-26
Granted: 1992-03-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for recovering metallic and/or chemically bonded mercury from solid materials containing mercury, especially solid waste such as batteries and the like with exclusion of oxygen. The object of the invention is to remove mercury from the solid materials, the intention being to process solid materials which contain mercury both in chemically bonded and in metallic form. The object is achieved according to the invention by subjecting the solid materials to a reducing extraction with liquid sodium at a temperature between about 100 DEG C and 450 DEG C, and separating the dissolved mercury from sodium.

Abstract: In the manufacture of hot-rolled steel strip, the strip-shaped cast billets coming from the casting plant are wound up in an intermediate storage means to form a coil and are unwound again after heating and fed to a rolling mill for rolling out to a certain final thickness of cross-section. Here, however, it is of disadvantage that the cast billets discharged from the casting plant have to be stored and preheated in an intermediate storage means before they are fed to the finish rolling mill. This involves the need for more equipment, greater expenditure of energy and increased costs. The arrangement of an intermediate storage means also requires more space. According to the invention, however, these disadvantages are removed due to the fact that the continuously cast feed stock, after heating in the compensating furnace (3, 4) is fed to a multiple-stand, reversible finish rolling-mill train (10) having a coilbox (14) attached thereto.

Title: Method and apparatus for manufacturing flake graphite
IPC: C01B31/04
Filed: 1989-06-28
Granted: 1992-12-09
Abstract: In the manufacture of flake graphite, coal is added to a metal melt and is partly burned using oxygen in order to heat the melt and is partly dissolved in the melt to raise the carbon content of the metal. Thereafter the melt is cooled so that flake graphite crystallizes out. To improve the solution of the coal in the melt, the coal is added by injecting pulverized coal directly into the melt beneath the surface of the melt and the pulverized coal is burned in the melt by the oxygen. Apparatus for carrying out the method having at least one vessel (1,2) for holding a metal melt (15), means (26) for injecting pulverized coal directly into the metal melt, means (26) for introducing oxygen into the melt, means (9) for cooling the melt and means (31,34) for separating flake graphite from the melt.

Title: Ammunition chuting for a machine gun
IPC: F41A9/57
Filed: 1989-03-16
Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: A flexible ammunition chuting (14) for a machine gun (10) includes a flexible spine (26) made up of spring steel strips (27, 29) which are anchored at two spaced and fixed positions, typically at the chuting ends, so as precisely to define the length of the chuting. The chuting includes relatively articulated links (20), which are able to follow convex and concave bends and to twist torsionally, but the spine (26) prevents the overall stretching or collapse of the links, which might result in ammunition belt misfeed or jamming.

Abstract: Le procédé décrit sert à tracer une figure géométrique convexe dans une mémoire de tampon de trame adressable séquentiellement sous la forme de plusieurs réseaux de mise à jour d'origines déterminées qui recouvrent par tessellage le tampon de trame. Un réseau comprend des sites de stockage de pixels, qui peuvent être chacun spécifié par un déplacement depuis l'origine du réseau et qui peuvent être mis à jour simultanément. Une figure est spécifiée comme constituant un groupe de lignes orientées, dont des segments placés entre des intersections mutuelles comprennent la limite de la figure, en parcourant la limite dans un seul sens. La figure est recouverte par tessellage au moyen d'un sous-ensemble de réseaux de mis à jour. L'accès à un premier réseau est sollicité. On effectue des tests pour déterminer si la figure s'étend vers des résaux se trouvant au-dessus ou au-dessous du réseau ayant fait l'objet d'un accès. Si c'est la cas, l'adresse du réseau est stockée et marquée pour l'une et/ou ou l'autre des extensions. Dans un mode de réalisation, on effectue un test pour l'extension gauche et les étapes sont répétées jusqu'à ce qu'on ne trouve aucune autre extension gauche. Après retour au réseau initial, on répète les étapes pour l'extension droite, afin de compléter le sous-ensemble horizontal. L'accès au résau marqué pour l'extension supérieure ou inférieure est ensuite sollicité et les étapes sont répétées pour le réseau verticalement adjacent indiqué jusqu'à ce qu'on ne trouve aucune autre extension dans cette direction verticale. Les étapes sont répétées pour l'autre direction verticale, jusqu'à ce que la figure soit entièrement recouverte par tessellage. Le test des extensions permet de vérifier la juxtaposition de chaque pixel échantillon dans une paire de pixels échantillons adjacente au réseau interrogé par rapport à chacune des lignes orientées.

Abstract: Selon un procédé d'ajustement automatique de l'épaisseur de la filière, un verrou peu coûteux avec un moteur universel ajuste rapidement l'épaisseur de la filière et évite en même temps qu'un courant excessif ne traverse le moteur. Lorsqu'une crosse atteint la position de fermeture avant que le contact avec la filière ne soit établi ou lorsque le contact avec la filière est établi lorsque la crosse est dans une position en avant de la position (LO) où la force voulue de fermeture peut être produite, la crosse est ramenée en arrière de la position en question (LO). Autrement, le moteur d'ajustement de l'épaisseur de la filière est entraîné dans une direction telle qu'un plateau postérieur est ramené en arrière (S14) après s'être déplacé en avant jusqu'à atteindre la position où le contact avec la filière est établi. Un servomoteur est entraîné dans la direction telle qu'un plateau mobile s'avance à la même vitesse que le plateau postérieur recule, cette vitesse étant obtenue en multipliant la valeur prioritaire correspondant à la position jusqu'où la crosse s'est déplacée à la vitesse programmée pour que la crosse atteigne ladite position (LO).
