Title: Refuse receptacle
IPC: E05F1/12
Filed: 1987-03-06
Granted: 1991-01-16
Abstract: A container (1), preferably for receiving refuse, possesses a filling orifice equipped with a closing device and extending over the lower half of its end face. So that the closing device closing the filling orifice cannot basically be opened by unauthorised persons, but can be opened easily and simply for the intended use, the container (1) is equipped with an approximately rectangular closing flap for the filling orifice (7), which is fastened in one edge region to a pivoting shaft (6) or which is equipped with lateral shaft journals mounted in pivot bearings (4,5) arranged in the region of the longitudinal mid-plane of the container (1) on its side walls or end frames (2). The pivoting shaft (6) is welded in one end region to a radial lever, on the end of which is articulated a spring-loaded bolt, the other end of which is guided in a lug or the like which is fastened above or below the pivoting shaft (6) or shaft journal on the side wall of the container or on the end frame (2). By means of the lever, the bolt keeps the flap (8) in its closing position or in its opening position swung up against the upper end wall of the container (1), with the force of the spring which loads this lever. During the pivoting of the flap (8) between its two positions, the lever passes through a dead-centre position. The shaft (6) or one of the journals is equipped with a drive which rotates the shaft between the two flap positions. <IMAGE>

IPC: B01D46/10
Filed: 1987-12-11
Granted: 1991-01-09
Abstract: In filters for cleaning the exhaust gases from diesel engines having openpored foam ceramic bodies, the deposited soot particles are burned up at temperatures of between 550 DEG  and 700 DEG  C. at periodic intervals. In order to lower the inflammation temperature of the soot in the regeneration phase of the filter, the ceramic bodies are catalytically coated. The region of the openpored foam ceramic body first subjected to the flow of the exhaust gases of the diesel engines has at least partly a denser pore structure than the remaining foam body so that the inflammation temperature can be lowered since temperature peaks occur in these regions on account of increased soot deposits, which temperature peaks lead to inflammation of the soot located there and consequently burn up all the soot deposited in the filter.

Granted: 1993-09-15
Abstract: The method for producing photopositives, in which a photopaper web of unexposed photopaper passes for exposure through a photoprinter, before the photopaper is developed in a developing machine, is to be improved in such a way that the handling of the not yet developed and fixed photopaper is facilitated and made more economical. According to the invention, the photopaper web is handled in a dark room before being introduced into the photoprinter and then introduced therein, protected from the light, directly from this dark room. The device for carrying out the method is characterised in that the photoprinter is located in the area of the dark room and, for introducing the unexposed photopaper and removing the exposed photo- paper, is accessible from the interior of the dark room.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve having a drive device. A valve plate (3), which can be placed on a seat (2), is formed on a spindle (1) which is provided with a thread. A spindle nut (4, 12) engages with the spindle (1). The drive device is directly connected to the spindle nut (12). The installed height of the valve is thus relatively small. In order to increase the overall efficiency of the valve, it is intended that the thread of the spindle (1) has a relatively large pitch which is, for example, greater than 5 DEG . In order to prevent the spindle (1) moving on its own, locking brakes or a self-locking worm drive (13), for example, are provided as part of the drive device.

Title: Detoxication process for waste waters containing elementary mercury
IPC: C02F1/72
Filed: 1988-11-14
Granted: 1991-01-16
Abstract: To remove, in particular, elemental Hg from waste waters (effluent) from battery factories, from chlor-alkali electrolysis and from electroplating plants, a suitable preliminary stage is their oxidising treatment with H2O2 in the presence of readily available and cheap compounds of iron or iodine which, as catalysts, enable the reaction of Hg with H2O2 to give a precipitatable Hg compound within an acceptable time for practical operation. After precipitation of the Hg as a relatively insoluble compound and filtration, the waste water solution is brought into contact with MnO2, excess H2O2 decomposing to give H2O and O2, and then led to a Hg-selective ionexchanger, which traps any residual quantities of Hg. Water thus detoxified is not burdened with significantly any byproducts formed during the treatment.

Abstract: In the method for reducing the nitrogen oxide formation in the combustion of fossil fuels in a combustion chamber, flue gases are, after preceding removal of heat, recycled to the burner side of the combustion chamber and, due to the injector action of the flame, introduced around the burner into the combustion space in a part quantity reducing the combustion temperature to a temperature level which is at most equal to the limiting temperature for the formation of nitrogen oxides. As a result, the flame is surrounded by  - cool - flue gases and cooled. In a firing installation, a combustion chamber arranged within a housing carrying a flow of a heat carrier medium has a "hot" combustion space which is surrounded by a shell accommodated at a distance from the combustion chamber walls. Flue gas flow paths extend between the shell and the combustion chamber, and at least one inflow path branches off from these for recycling a part stream of the - cooled - flue gas into the combustion space, this path leading into the latter in the vicinity of a burner or flame tube and cooling the combustion flame. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for calibrating signals provided by individual cells in a photodetector array scanned by light originating at a low-cost variable light source and reflected from a subject to be replicated in digital form by processing photodetector cell signals in a manner so that individual cell signals are corrected to compensate for fluctuations in source light. The system and method is particularly applicable to a color balanced photodetector array in which individual photodetectors are arranged in sets with each set having a variable number of rows oriented in a direction transverse to the direction of scan and columns parallel to the direction of scan. The invention is practiced by exposing the first few photodetectors in each row to the full spectrum of visible light reflected from a white reference patch. During processing, as the photodetector signals are sequentially transferred, to a processor, the signals provided by the cells exposed to the white reference are compared with a fixed value to obtain a calibration factor. As the signals develop by cells in the same set but as a result of exposure to light reflected from the subject image, those signals are multiplied by the calibration factor so that the process signals are corrected for variations in source light on a real time basis.

Title: Method for intermediate amplification of digital signals and intermediate repeater for digital signals
IPC: H04B3/58
Filed: 1990-08-02
Granted: 1993-04-21
Abstract: The method for intermediate amplification of digital signals with clock regeneration determines the phase difference between the reception timing signal and the local transmission timing signal and modifies the phase of the local transmission timing signal depending on the phase difference. It is particularly advantageous if the reception timing signal is used as the transmission timing signal as soon as the phase difference is essentially zero. It is possible as a result to minimise the start-up delay and also the packet spacing in that the number of bits which are to be temporarily stored can be kept down. Intermediate repeaters to carry out the method are indicated.
