Patent EP-0626457-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BRESSER WOLFGANG
IPC: C22B13/02
Filed: 1994-04-25
Abstract: The working-up of zinc- and lead-bearing metallurgical plant residues is carried out by thermal treatment in a circulating fluidised bed, the heat requirement being met by combustion of solid carbon in the fluidised-bed reactor of the circulating fluidised bed. The solid carbon content in the lower part of the fluidised bed is adjusted to 5 to 30%. Oxygen-containing gases are introduced into the upper part of the fluidised-bed reactor, and the formation of CO2 is taken only so far that metallic zinc is not reoxidised. The discharged suspension is largely freed of solids in a return cyclone, and the solids are recycled. The gas is cooled to a temperature at which the metallic zinc is oxidised to ZnO, and the zinc and lead compounds in the form of dust are precipitated from the gas. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A transformer structure of modular parts comprises a bobbin for supporting the primary winding, and one or more sets of end pieces sized to successively fit one over another in a nesting arrangement. The end piece flanges provide part of the secondary winding support surface. Further winding surfaces may be provided by adding further sets of end pieces which nest one within the other. The end piece flanges afford added inter-winding isolation. A double flange version of the end pieces affords still greater isolation. While applicable to small-scale transformers, the concept can also be adapted for medium and larger-size transformer designs.

Abstract: The invention relates to an advantageous process for preparing liposomes for inclusion of water-soluble or hydrophilic substances or mixtures of substances, which by comparison with known processes provides the surprising advantage of increasing the content of actually included substances or mixtures of substances and, on pharmaceutical use, the advantage of sterile operating conditions. This entails a mixture consisting of at least one phospholipid and conventional lipophilic auxiliaries being exposed to a mobile support phase consisting of carbon dioxide and a polar organic solvent (modifier) under supercritical pressure and temperature conditions, decompressing the compressed mixed phase to atmospheric pressure, and transferring it into an aqueous phase containing a substance which has water-soluble or hydrophilic properties and is to be encapsulated in liposomes.

Abstract: A biological replacement ligament is provided which includes a compressible core (12) and a separate flexible outer sheath (14) having a first end (22), a second end (24), and a generally tubular intermediate portion (26). The intermediate portion surrounds the compressible core, whereby the application of tension between the first and second ends causes the intermediate portion to constrict upon the compressible core thereby allowing elongation of the ligament to modulate the tension between the first and second ends. The amount of elongation and tension modulation is primarily determined by the compressibility of the core .
