Abstract: A spear valve assembly (5) has a valve body (14) for engagement with a keg neck (3) and a skirt (17) on the valve body (14) including openings (18) for the throughflow of beer during filling. A downtube assembly (12) is movable relative to the valve body (14) and the skirt (17) and includes a downtube (12) for projecting into beer in a keg. A locking member (7) is carried by the downtube assembly (12) and is arranged to project through at least one further opening (19) in the skirt. In use, the locking member (7) normally prevents the spear valve assembly (5) from being ejected from a beer keg by engagement behind the keg neck. However, for removal of the spear valve assembly (5) the downtube assembly (12) is tilted relative to the skirt (17) to retract the locking element (7).

Abstract: A digital communication system (e.g., 10) including a Viterbi decoder for tracing a path through a trellis of individual state information and method of operation are disclosed. The traceback determines a decoded symbol. The trellis of surviving branch data is stored in an array of registers. 
     Operating the system includes initiating a first traceback from a storage register at a first symbol instant. The traceback traces a path back through the trellis a first predetermined number of symbol instants to determine a first decoded symbol. A second traceback is also initiated at the first symbol instant and traces a path back through the trellis a second predetermined number symbol instants to determine a second decoded symbol. The first traceback length may be greater than, less than or equal to the second traceback length. 
     In another embodiment of the invention several tracebacks can be executed having a fixed traceback length, followed by other tracebacks having incrementally different traceback lengths. Such multiple tracebacks may be initiated in a single symbol instant. 
     In yet another embodiment of the invention, selective ones of the decoded symbols are used by an equalizer to provide channel adaptation.

Abstract: The colorimetric measuring head (1), for determining the internal colour of a non-opaque material (2), in particular the internal colour of human skin, includes an optical system (3) which emits light towards the material to be studied and is separated by an oblique wall (4) for an optical system (5) which receives the light which has penetrated into and been reflected by the material. The external surface (A) of the head (1), which faces the material to be studied, is continuous and adapted to the surface of the material so as to match this surface either by direct application against the said surface of the material or with an optical wetting medium. The assembly is such that the light (R) received by the detector comes from inside the material (2), whilst the light possibly reflected by the surface of the material or coming directly from the emitter cannot reach the detector because of the opaque separating wall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The proposed process for the continuous refining of metal involves the following steps: molten metal is fed into a reaction chamber; gaseous and solid oxidising agents are introduced; loose materials are added; the metal and slag are totally converted to a foaming emulsion; a raised pulsed pressure is created within the reaction chamber and the system is made to deviate significantly from thermodynamic equilibrium by the creation of a self-adjusting system of chemical gas-producing reactions; the emulsion is removed to a settling tank at the critical outflow-rate of the two-phase liquid; and the metal and slag are separated in the settling tank and gas is removed at a predetermined rate through the thick emulsion layer. The proposed facility for the continuous refining of metal comprises: a spherical reaction chamber (1) with a channel through which the liquid metal (5) and loose materials (4) can be introduced; a device in the form of opposing tuyeres for supplying gaseous oxygen; a cylindrical connecting channel (2); a settling tank (3) with tap holes to allow the removal of metal (20) and slag (15) and divided into two vertical channels to facilitate the separation of slag (16) and gas (17); a channel for feeding in slag-forming materials (13); and tuyeres for supplying oxygen (11 and 12).

Abstract: A pump including a pump shaft bearing lubrication system having a main lubrication chamber (45) and a pair of auxiliary lubrication chambers (55 and 57), the auxiliary chambers being disposed on opposite sides of said main chamber. Pump shaft bearing assemblies (single or double row) are sandwiched between each auxiliary lubrication chamber and the main chamber (45) so that each bearing assembly (31 and 33) has its inner and outer sides simultaneously lubricated by fluid in the main and corresponding auxiliary chamber respectively. Each auxiliary lubrication chamber (55 and 57) is provided with a pair of fluid passageways (61 and 63) interfacing the auxiliary and main chambers so that the lubricating fluid can be circulated from the main chamber (45) to the auxiliary chambers (55, 57) and then back into the main chamber again, thereby constantly lubricating the bearing assemblies with cool, clean, and effective lubricating fluid. Furthermore, a lubricating fluid dispenser (35) is mounted on the pump shaft (7) within the main chamber (45), the dispenser (35) being positioned entirely above the lubricating fluid level such that heat generation within the main chamber is reduced, the dispenser dispersing the lubricant throughout the main chamber by way of an air-flow created by vanes (50, 51) defined in the dispenser. This design also allows the lubricating fluid level (47) within the main chamber to be maintained below the moveable portions (i.e. bearing balls and rotating frame portion) of the shaft bearing assemblies so that the bearings run at lower temperatures thereby extending the working life of the bearing assemblies.

Abstract: In process for the production of diisopropyl ether, a propylene-containing stream is contacted with isopropyl alcohol in a first stage in the presence of a catalyst under conditions to produce an effluent stream comprising diisopropyl ether. At least a portion of this effluent stream is recycled to a second stage where the diisopropyl ether is reacted with water to produce isopropyl alcohol. The isopropyl alcohol is then recycled to the first stage. The benefit of producing isopropyl alcohol by the hydration of diisopropyl ether is that it is an easier reaction than, for example, the hydration of propylene. As a result, the process of the present invention can operate under less severe conditions, i.e., less cost.
