Abstract: The seal assembly which may be provided along the top, bottom or side edges of a wall panel (10), comprises an outwardly facing channel member (14) mounted along the edge of the panel in a fixed position, with a spring-loaded, shiftable seal member (22) arranged in the channel (14) and held in a retracted, inoperative position by a releasable latch (50). 
<??>Actuator means comprises cables (42, 42 min ) the outer ends of which are fixed to handles (44, 44 min ) in the edges of the panel (10) and the other ends of which are connected on one diameter (40) of a dual diameter pulley (30), a further cable (36), connected at one end to the seal member (22), being secured to the other diameter (35) of the pulley (30). From its retracted position the seal member (22) is initially shifted inwardly of the channel (14) by the actuator means to release the latch means (50) so that spring assemblies (27, 27 min ) urge the seal assembly to shift outwardly of the channel to its extended, self-levelling sealed position.

Title: Separatory module comprising hollow fibre membranes
IPC: B01D63/04
Filed: 1983-07-20
Granted: 1986-12-10
Abstract: A hollow fibre separatory module comprises six separate hollow fibre bundles, four of which (12, 14, 18, 19) are shown, in a single pressure shell (10, 11). There are two fluid feeds (32, 86), two concentrate outlets (34, 88) and six separate permeate outlets, four of which (36, 40, 90,92) are shown. For reasons governed mainly by the lengths of the inidividual fibres in the bundles, the overall size of the individual bundles is limited. In the past separatory modules have consisted of a single bundle of fibres in its own individual pressure shell. Such modules have such a small output that they are largely only useful for experimental work. The multi-bundle module in accordance with the invention has much greater commercial usefulness.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing optical processing on optical information corresponding to a subject (66) combines known optical processing techniques with holography. A reverse ray-trace holographic system is provided so that the image reconstruction beam (90) passes through the optical system in a direction exactly opposite to that travelled by the subject beam (50) during recording of the hologram (88). Aberrations introduced by the system optics are then completely compensated for, allowing use of lower aquality optical components. A single large-aperture lens (68) is used to define a Fourier transform of the optical subject information as the hologram (88) is recorded or the image reconstructed, and the subject information is manipulated within the Fourier transform plane (91).

Abstract: An apparatus for the automatic feeding of a carrier to a laminating station. The apparatus has a gripper device which is fastened to two guide rods and which is movable t o anf fro horizontally. Each of the guide rods is guided in a linear guide and is mounted in supports which are connected to one another by means of an angular cross-strut. A pneumatic cylinder is articulated centrally to the angular cross-strut by a lengthened piston rod. The gripper device grips the carrier at a predetermined distance (Xmin) from the front edge, to transport it in the direction of a laminating station. A sensor for detecting the front edge of the carrier which is transported into the gripper device is located on a holding bracket fastened to a displaceable holding block. The upper and lower gripper strips each have a perforation in the center of their bevelled strip part. As soon as the front edge of the carrier interrupts the vertical beam path, the sensor generates a control pulse which closes the gripper device and which retains the carrier for the transport to the laminating station.
