Abstract: A dilatation catheter (1) for reducing or eliminating vascular constrictions or vascular occlusions (2) has at its distal end at least one pressure element (3) and, possibly, also a second pressure element (16) which is spaced apart from the first pressure element (3). The pressure element or pressure elements are used to exert a pressure on the constricted vessel wall in order to force back deposits which are present there and in this way to once again enlarge the inner lumen of the vessel (4). For this purpose the catheter (1) is mounted rotatably and can be connected at the proximal end to a rotational drive mechanism (5). In order to be able to produce inside a vessel (4) a greater circumference or cross-section than is predetermined by the pressure element(s) (3 and/or 16), the catheter (1) has an inner guide channel (6) for a stylet (7) and is flexible near the pressure elements (3 and 16) so that it can be bent or deflected. Near its end (8) projecting in the use position up to or into the pressure elements (3) or the pressure elements (16), the stylet has as a supporting and guiding means a first bend or curve (9) and can in turn be coupled to a rotational drive mechanism (5) and can in this way be driven in rotation, preferably in synchronism with the catheter (1) so that the pressure element or pressure elements are moved not only about their own axis, but at the same time eccentrically in a circular orbit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Highly toxic pollutants which are suspected carcinogens can be formed in the incineration of sludge. The filter dusts from the flue gas filtering and the ashes and slags also contain such problem materials, in addition to traces of heavy metals. In order to avoid carryover of these substances into the atmosphere and into the residues used as useful materials (for example aggregates), it is proposed to subject the ashes (22) and filter dusts produced during the incineration (3) and the sludges produced during flue gas scrubbing collectively to a high temperature incineration (43) with subsequent fusing. The problem materials are completely and inertly bound in the slag granules (45) obtained by water cooling (44). The flue gases and ash dusts leaving the high temperature incineration are treated likewise.

Abstract: A method for the filtration of beverages and other liquids is described. In known methods, kieselguhrs, perlites, cellulose fibres, etc., are used as filter aids which must be discarded. This results in considerable environmental problems. According to the invention, the filter-active structure of the filter aids used is retained so that these can be reused as often as is desired. According to the invention, a mixture of filter aids of different morphological and physical components is used, which mixture is composed of at least two constituents, namely a component composed of specifically heavy, chemically resistant metal particles and/or metal oxide particles and/or carbon particles of fibrous and/or granular structure and a further component building up the filter cake, and enlarging its volume, composed of artificial fibres and/or cellulose fibres having a fibre length of 1 to 5,000  mu m and a fibre thickness of 0.5 to 100  mu m. To increase the sharpness of filtration of the filter cake composed of the abovementioned constituents, a further component can be added to this cake, which component is composed of fibrillated or fanned out artificial fibres and/or cellulose fibres, which preferably have a fibre length of 500 to 5,000  mu m and a fibre thickness of 0.5 to 20  mu m. The components are intensively mixed to give a homogeneous mixture and are metered into the beverage to be filtered.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des méthodes et à un appareil pour effectuer la diagraphie sonique à basse fréquence de trous de sondage au moyen d'ondes en 'tube' utilisant des mesures de fréquences discrètes. Un transducteur de source (16) émet de l'énergie sonique à un emplacement dans le trou de sondage (14) à au moins une fréquence discrète, ce qui provoque la propagation d'ondes 'en tube' dans le trou de sondage; l'énergie sonique des ondes 'en tube' est reçue à des emplacements de réception multiples dans le trou, ces emplacements étant distants les uns des autres ainsi que de l'emplacement du transducteur de source; et, à chaque emplacement de réception, la réponse complexe de pression (l'amplitude de la phase, ou des parties réelles et imaginaires) d'un récepteur (20-30) à l'énergie sonique des ondes 'en tube' reçues est déterminée par rapport à une référence de phase. La réponse complexe de pression detectée peut être analysée pour déterminer la vélocité de phase des ondes en tube dans le trou de sondage en fonction de la fréquence, pour déterminer l'affaiblissement desdites ondes dans le trou en fonction de la fréquence et/ou pour déterminer l'affaiblissement et l'amplitude en fonction de la fréquence. En outre, les coefficients de réfraction d'ondes près de cassures, de limites de lit etc., peuvent être calculés. Les données d'ondes 'en tube' sont utiles à la corrélation de perméabilité, l'évaluation de cassures, les études de rigidité de la roche et dans d'autres applications.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of measuring lengths, in which a scanning device scans a substrate (1) with a graduated scale (2), having a graduation band, and reference marks (7) various distances apart along at least one other band (3). The signals from the scanning device are processed in a processing unit and in a display unit, the various distances between the reference marks (7) being determined in graduation-band units by scanning the graduated scale (2). From these interval-measurement signals, information is obtained in coded form on the absolute position values of the reference marks (7). The absolute value of a reference mark (7) obtained by decoding a coded value is related to a particular position (Pn) on the graduation band, the position being shifted, in the direction of travel (8), by a whole number (zo) of units, where zo is  >/= 1, with respect to the position on the graduation band at which the last reference mark (7) in the respective code generated its code pulse. In addition, the decoded absolute value at this position (Pn) is fed to the display unit as the current position of the measurement device, and the shift of the position (Pn) with respect to the last code pulse is determined from the graduation signals in the graduation band to provide the absolute value decoded by the processing device.
