Abstract: In sheet separating apparatus suitable for use in an automated teller machine (ATM), sheets, such as banknotes, are removed singly from a stack (14) using reduced pressure derived from a vacuum pump (86). An air filter (72) is provided in the vacuum supply line (16) from the vacuum pump (86). A pressure sensor (68) senses the pressure in the vacuum supply line (16) and when this rises to a threshold value, causes the vacuum pump to supply reverse air flow through the air filter (72) to transport any dust particles impeding the operation of the air filter (72) to a dust collection container (106).

Abstract: A semiconductor laser has an n-type cladding layer (12), a lower optical guiding layer (13), an active layer (14), an upper optical guiding layer (15), a p-type cladding layer (17) and a p-type capping layer (18). A thin, heavily p-type delta doped layer (16) is provided at the interface between the upper optical guiding layer and the p-type cladding layer. This increases the potential barrier for electrons passing from the upper optical guiding layer to the p-type cladding layer, thereby reducing the leakage of electrons into the p-type cladding layer.

Abstract: A pseudosatellite emitter (1) is stationed at a point (X,Y,Z) which is masked from positioning satellites (S) by undergrowth or other obstructions. The emitter transmits signals coded similarly to those sent out by the positioning satellites (S). A mobile radiolocalisation equipment (2) takes up a number of stations (Pi) whose position may be determined by satellite and also measures at each position the phase of the signal received from the pseudosatellite emitter (1). A radio beacon (5) coordinates the timing at the two stations and the position of the masked point (X,Y,Z) may be determined from the measurements taken.

Date Jul. 18, 1996Waste is burnt in a furnace chamber (1). The oxygen-containing flue gases resulting in this process are introduced into a fluidized bed in an afterburning chamber (5) and reburnt. Solids discharged with the flue gases from the afterburning chamber (5) are separated from the flue gases in a dust separator (9) and recycled to the afterburning chamber (5), so that a circulating fluidized bed is formed, which produces a very homogeneous temperature distribution in the afterburning chamber (5) and at the same time permits highly efficient cooling of the flue gases. A secondary oxygen feed for the afterburning is dispensed with, which enables a decrease in size both of the afterburning chamber (5) and also of the downstream heat-recovery and gas cleaning devices and improvement in efficiency resulting therefrom.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système d'ajutage (1) pour le remplissage de récipients à crème glacée, comprenant un certain nombre d'ajutages (2) pourvus d'orifices d'alimentation en crème glacée (27, 28) et d'une extrémité d'ajutage (37). Dans chaque ajutage se trouve un piston (9) qui se déplace à l'intérieur d'une enveloppe (10). L'enveloppe et le piston sont en acier inoxydable à traitement dit Hardcor, de sorte que leur surface soit mise en interaction sans risque de déchirement et que, par ailleurs, la tolérance de production soit telle que l'écart formé entre le piston et l'enveloppe puisse être imperméable à la crème glacée et non pas à des liquides. En conséquence, un système de flexible/tuyau (40) pour l'alimentation en détergent peut être relié aux orifices susmentionnés (27, 28) et aux extrémités d'ajutage (37) pour le rinçage et le lavage. Ainsi, le détergent peut passer dans l'intervalle entre le piston (9) et l'enveloppe (10) et sortir par un espace creux (50), qui est rinçé par le détergent introduit à l'intérieur depuis au moins une extrémité d'ajutage (37). Il en résulte un rinçage/lavage complet du système d'ajutage (1).

Abstract: A high bending strength and high density material for osteosynthesis, which comprises a biodegradable and bioabsorbable crystalline thermoplastic polymer material, and a high strength implant material, comprising a composite material in which a bioceramics powder of from 0.2 to 50 µm in particle size is dispersed in the polymer material, wherein crystals of the polymer material are pressure-oriented not in a uni-axial direction but basically in parallel with a plurality of reference axes; and a production method by pressure orientation, which comprises preparing in advance a biodegradable and bioabsorbable crystalline thermoplastic polymer material or a dispersed mixture of the polymer material and a bioceramics powder and melt-molding it into a pre-molded material which is then press-charged at a cold temperature into a cavity of a closed type forming mold, thereby obtaining an oriented molding. Since the osteosynthesis and implant materials are dense and high strength oriented moldings having less anisotropy in which crystals are oriented in parallel with a plurality of reference axes, excellent ideal biomaterials can be provided which have appropriate hydrolysis property, can maintain sufficient strength during a period required for bone union and are degraded and absorbed at such a rate that they do not induce inflammatory reactions after healing of the fractured bones so that re-operation is not required.

Date May 15, 1997A process is provided for reducing the amount of hydrogen sulfide present in a tail gas from a sulfur recovery process. The hydrogen sulfide contaminated gas along with a gas containing free oxygen is passed through a series of hydrogen sulfide oxidation zones containing an oxidation catalyst, such as one or more oxides or salts of Ni, Co, Fe, Cu, Ag, Mn, Mo, Cr, W and V, deposited on a support, such as bauxite, activated alumina, titania and activated carbon. The initial and intermediate catalyst beds are operated adiabatically by injecting a substoichiometric amount of oxygen into the gas to be treated with respect to the amount of hydrogen sulfide present in the gas so that the temperature does not exceed 150 DEG  C. The final catalyst bed is operated under conditions such that a superstoichiometric amount of oxygen is injected into the gas with respect to the hydrogen sulfide and cooling is provided so that the temperature does not exceed 150 DEG  C. The invention is able to maintain an optimum selectivity toward sulfur during the catalytic oxidation of the hydrogen sulfide by controlling the temperature.
