Title: Cationic processing of mineral ores
IPC: B03B1/04
Filed: 1990-05-03
Abstract: A method of wet processing mineral ore (e.g. kaolin crude) to 
recover negatively charged finely divided mineral, which 
method includes dispersing an aqueous pulp of the ore with 
wate-soluble organic cationic dispersant prior to said 
recovery - for example, a method for recovering a fine 
particle size fraction of a negatively charged mineral from an 
ore, such as a kaolin clay crude, which comprises forming an 
aqueous pulp of the ore, dispersing the pulp by adding thereto 
sufficient water-soluble organic cationic dispersant to 
a positive zeta potential to said particles, and preferably an 
acidic pH to said pulp removing coarse particles from said 
dispersed pulp and fractionating the dispersed pulp to 
separate a fine particle size fraction of mineral particles 
from coarser particles. Bleach may be added before or after 
fractionation. The fine fraction may be pulverised, calcined

Title: Strip casting
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1991-03-13
Abstract: Method and apparatus for casting metal strip in which molten metal is introduced between a pair of parallel casting rollers (16) via a tundish (18) and metal delivery nozzle (19). Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidify on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. The tundish (18), delivery nozzle (19) and a pair of side closure plates (56) to confine the pool of metal on the casting rollers are separately preheated to working temperature and then rapidly brought into an operative assembly and casting is started before detrimental uneven or localized cooling of the preheated components can develop. To this end the casting rollers are mounted on a carriage (13) movable between a first station (14) at which the preheated components are fitted and a second station (15) at which casting is carried out.

Title: Flow injection analysis of total inorganic phosphate
IPC: C01B25/26
Filed: 1991-10-14
Abstract: A method for flow injection analysis of total inorganic phosphate contained in an aqueous system such a cooling tower or boiler is described which uses a reducing agent and preservative composition therefore as the carrier for the sample to be analyzed, thereby creating a facile process which permits conversion of the various polyphosphates to orthophosphate and development of the molybdenum blue complex color reaction at 60 DEG -95 DEG C and under 2-10 psi. This method has less stringent pressure and temperature requirements than those employed heretofore, thus permitting the use of more reliable and economic devices for measuring total inorganic phosphate in the field. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0531645-A3 (EP)
Inventor: EASTMAN JAY M
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 1992-07-03
Abstract: To increase the efficiency of personnel conducting inventory management operations, including data entry of products and information as to their absence, presence or location, the user is provided with a headset having a band extending around the head from which a microphone projects and also on which a bar code reader is located, preferably on the portion of the band which extends around the top of the head of the user. Electronics for processing signals from the microphone and from the reader and for operating a display to indicate either visually or audibly the codes which are read by the reader or are entered by pronouncing the names of alphanumeric characters is also mounted on the headset. The electronics includes a microprocessor and a speech recognition unit which translates the names and words into data stored in the memory associated with the microprocessor. This data can be read out into the visual or audible display (earphones in the headset providing the audible display or a heads up display on a screen in the field of view of the user). The data may also be transmitted to a remote location via a modem and transmitter. A transceiver may be associated with the modem for receiving instructions which are applied as digital data to the microprocessor and used to operate the display. The messages may also be preset messages which are contained in the memory associated with the microprocessor and read out into the display upon the pronouncement of voice commands by the user. The commands also actuate the code reader. The user, therefore, has his or her hands free for conducting inventory management operations including picking and placing of products as well as entry of product data either by optical code reading or by pronouncement of characters which are printed on the products. <IMAGE>

Title: Window frame
Inventor: FREI URS
IPC: B27M3/00
Filed: 1993-04-16
Abstract: The window frame is made up of frame legs (1, 2) which each have a rebated part (1.1, 2.1) on their inner sides. The frame legs (1, 2) are connected to one another in each corner of the frame via a wedge-type finger-jointed portion (3, 4) in each case. The section (3), of said finger-jointed portion, located in the region of the rebated parts (1.1, 2.1) runs approximately in a mitred manner. Each wedge-type finger-jointed portion (3, 4) contains, adjoining the mitred section (3), in each case a section (4) which runs tangentially thereto in an arcuate manner. The arcuate section (4) extends over an angle ( alpha ) of approximately 45 DEG . The outer end, located in the outside surface (A) of one frame leg (2), of the wedge-type finger-jointed portion (3, 4) is essentially perpendicular to said outside surface (A). This avoids any displacements in the wedge-type finger-jointed portion (3, 4) which could arise when the frame legs (1, 2) are pressed together. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of partial filling of hollow bodies with granulates.
Inventor: LISEC PETER
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 1994-01-19
Abstract: A spacer frame which comprises a hollow profile moulding bent-off three times and is still open at the fourth corner, one leg (2) being longer than the other leg leading to the open corner, is filled with a granular drying agent via a tube (20) which has been introduced into the leg (2). The tube (20) projects, with its front end (20'), into the leg (2) up to the desired filling height. As soon as the drying agent in the leg (2) reaches the tube (20), the inflow of drying agent ceases. A sensor (27) detects this. The sensor (27) activates the drawing-out operation of the tube (20). In this arrangement, subatmospheric pressure is applied to the tube (20) via a line (40) in order that no more drying agent is discharged out of the tube (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention utilizes the small cell size of the NAND
storage cell structure in an analog storage and playback device.
This is achieved, in part, by using a special, zero current
storage cell, in which in the read mode, the cell loading current
is waveshaped to attain an optimal dynamic range and to avoid the
resistive effects of series parasitic resistances of other
transistors in the source node or drain node, and to avoid the
transistor conductance variations of all the transistors in the
read path. The loading current is waveshaped to reduce possible
overshoot and settling effects to achieve the fine output voltage
resolution in an optimal sensing time. Details of the method and
