Title: Water purification plant
Inventor: SYVERSEN ULF
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1996-12-06
Abstract: Water cleaning device comprising at least: one reactor device (4) for electrolytic cleaning of polluted water, assembled of one or more anodes (1a) and cathodes (2a), one flotation device (14, 15) and one device for handling sludge (23, 24, 18). The water flow inside and just outside (downstream) of the electrochemical reactor (4) is turbulent. The turbulence is created by one or more mechanical devices which affect the flow pattern. Examples of such mechanical devices may be a corrugated or rough, exchangeable inlay plate (5) on the cathode surface, an inert, non-conducting rotating or stationary piece (20) in the narrow space between anode and cathode, pulsating inlet flow of polluted water, recirculation of processed water (from outlet to inlet of the electrochemical reactor), a static mixer just outside (downstream) the electrochemical reactor, that the water enters through several slanted/inclined channels in the cathode, opposite rotational directions of anode and cathode or a combination of several of these methods. The cathode has a shaft or stud (3) penetrating the anode to facilitate rotation of the cathode. The electrochemical reactor(s) are mounted at the side of the flotation device at the same elevation as the water level. The flotation device is arranged as a tank (14) or a helical system (15), and the device for handling the sludge is a rolling band (23) with adjustable flaps (24) or a phase separator (18) located at the outlet of the helix (15).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape rotative à atténuation de bruit qui fait appel à la technique d'atténuation de bruit appliquée auparavant dans les soupapes linéaires. Cet agencement comprend une ensemble impédance dans lequel la zone avec l'ensemble impédance accessible par le flux en aval d'un flux d'élément de fermeture rotatif varie en fonction de l'ouverture d'un d'élément de fermeture rotatif, un ensemble interface étant disposé entre l'élément de fermeture rotatif et l'ensemble impédance. Ce type de conception permet d'obtenir, avec une soupape rotative, des avantages qui ne pouvaient être obtenus auparavant que dans des soupapes linéaires, tout en permettant d'obtenir également les avantages liés aux soupapes rotatives (par ex. capacité supérieure, Δp variable et/ou Δp minimum dans des conditions d'écoulement maximum). L'invention concerne également des ensembles atténuateurs, dans lesquels la structure d'atténuateur ou d'impédance est montée à l'intérieur de la soupape, soit en aval de l'élément de fermeture, soit sur l'élément de fermeture. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, au moins une partie du flux peut s'écouler, dans les positions les plus ouvertes de la soupape, sans traverser l'ensemble impédance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un régulateur pour l'alimentation de secours d'une charge électrique (6) lorsqu'une source habituelle (2) d'énergie pour cette charge est hors service. On a en configuration une dynamo électrique (10), un moteur (16) à vitesse réglable couplé par un embrayage (14) afin d'entraîner la dynamo, un volant-moteur à rotation continue (22) fournissant la puissance lorsque le moteur prend de la vitesse et lorsqu'on passe ensuite à la phase des surcharges transitoires, et un système de commande. Le volant-moteur est également relié à la dynamo, par une transmission à vitesse variable (26). Lorsque le moteur entraîne la dynamo, sa vitesse est contrôlée par une boucle (60), l'opération consistant à détecter la vitesse (39) du volant-moteur, à comparer cette vitesse à une première référence (64) et à régler le papillon des gaz (68) d'après la différence entre les deux valeurs. Simultanément, le rapport de transmission de la transmission variable (26) est contrôlé par une seconde boucle (70), dont l'action consiste à adapter le rapport de transmission (110) en fonction d'un signal d'erreur.

Abstract: An improved spectrometer comprises a slit in light blocking plate, an echelle grating, and a detector array. The slit is shaped and oriented to align an image of a light beam projected through the slit, onto the echelle grating and onto the detector in a desired orientation and shape relative to the detector array. Precise adjustment of the shape and orientation of the slit is dependent on the orientation of the detector with respect to the dispersion direction of the echelle grating. The spectrometer provides high detector resolution with reduced read-out time.

Abstract: In a thermal printer in which ink is transferred from a single-use thermal print ribbon to
a substrate such as packaging material by energising selected print elements of a thermal
print head (22), a first print run is executed by energising only a group of print elements
in registry with one half of the ribbon width so that ink is depleted only from one half of
the ribbon, and a second print run is executed by energising the same group of elements
using the same ribbon but with the ribbon supply and take-up spools interchanged in order
that ink is depleted only from the other half of the ribbon. This allows printing on
comparatively narrow printing areas using ribbon which is at least twice the width of the
printed area without undue ribbon wastage and with reduced ribbon breakage frequency
compared to the breakage frequency with a ribbon of a width nearer to the width of the
printed area.
