Patent ZA-804832-B (ZA)
Title: Self drilling and self threading screws
Inventor: KEITH GURNEY HAROLD
IPC: F16B25/00
Filed: 1980-08-08
Abstract: A drill screw for drilling through soft packing material such as timber into a steel purlin has a drill point (12), a threaded shank (11) and a head (13). The srew thread (14) is interrupted by longitudinally extending flutes (19) otherwise adapted to become at least partially filled by loose packing material generated by drilling so that the thread tends to ream out the packing material and prevent an effective threaded connection between packing material and drill srew. This allows the drill screw to advance at the normally required slow advance when the drill point engages the purlin.

Title: Process for working up aqueous solutions containing hydrogen sulfide,hydrogen cyanide and ammonia
Inventor: MULLER THOMAS
IPC: C02F101/16
Filed: 1991-12-17
Abstract: Aqueous solutions, which are contaminated by hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia, are adjusted to a pH of about 3 or less directly after their formation to remove the contaminants and are treated in a stripping column with an inert gas. Thereupon, the pH of the solution is increased to about 10 or more and it is treated again in a second stripping column with an inert gas.
Patent ZA-957642-B (ZA)
Title: Methods of decontaminating soils containing hazardous metals
Inventor: MOUK ROBERT W
IPC: A62D101/22
Filed: 1995-09-12
Abstract: Soil including sand and clays contaminated with nuclear waste materials are decontaminated by treating with anhydrous liquid ammonia alone or in combination with solvated electrons. Methods comprise concentrating radionuclides, such as plutonium and uranium in the fines of soil and clay to yield residual soil products which are sufficiently free of contaminants to allow reclamation. Economics are improved over aqueous systems since ammonia can be recovered and recycled. By concentrating nuclear wastes in soil fines space requirements ordinarily needed for storage of untreated soil and handling costs can be significantly reduced.

IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1996-06-12
Abstract: Anhydrous crystalline zilpaterol hydrochloride (I), contg. less than 5% of crystals smaller than 15 mu , the rest of the crystals being smaller than 250 mu , is new. Also claimed are (I)-monohydrate and (I)-trihydrate. The claimed prepn. of (I) comprises: (i) forming a super-satd. soln. of (I) in water or in an ethanol/water mixt. at below 50 degrees C; (ii) cooling the soln. to crystallise the monohydrate; (iii) lowering the temp. to below 20 degrees C to crystallise the trihydrate; and (iv) drying to give the desired prod. A variation on the above procedure comprises dissolving (I) in water at below 30 degrees C to give a satd. aq. soln. from which the trihydrate recrystallises spontaneously. Alternatively, a soln. of (I) in a min. amt. of warm water (60-100 degrees C) is poured into a satd. soln. of (I) in a water/alcohol mixt. which has been previously stirred at below 20 degrees C and seeded with trihydrate, to give the trihydrate, which is then dried (all claimed).

Title: Reporting vehicle brake friction lining conditions
Inventor: LAVENDER HOWARD
IPC: B61H5/00
Filed: 2001-07-17
Granted: 2005-02-16
Abstract: Reporting existence of a predetermined condition, eg wear, of a brake friction lining (32, fig 2a) of a railway wagon train (10, fig 5) or vehicle having many braked wheel axle sets (12, fig 1a), comprises associating condition sensing apparatus (42, 52, fig 2a) and a wireless transmitter (72, fig 2d) of condition signals with each monitored brake and a common receiver 78 moving relative to the axle sets so that condition signals, if any, are received from the wheel axle sets in turn. Conveniently, the receiver 78 is off-vehicle and may be located track- or road-side to receive signals from passing trains or may be moved alongside a stationary train. Signals from different axle sets are isolated by each axle set being proximate the receiver only for a short time by a spatial or temporal transmission and reception envelope. An energy source 82 with the receiver may empower each transmitter in an appropriate positional relationship, optionally also effecting transmission of a signal confirming correct operation if a condition signal is absent. Axle set positions relative to a datum point on the train may be recorded and correlated with condition signals to identify the position of a worn brake lining, or condition signals may be referenced to wagon identities for later attention.

Title: Sailing boats
Inventor: TOSTEVIN RICHARD EDMUND
IPC: B63B15/00
Filed: 2003-09-02
Granted: 2004-10-27
Abstract: A mast 1 is in the form of an egg-shaped closed loop that extends abeam of a hull 7. A boom 2 is supported on the mast 1 and extends upwardly from a lower, fore position on the bowsprit 4 to a higher, aft position above the stern (12, Fig 1). A lateen sail 3 of triangular form has its longer side attached to the boom 2 with its shorter sides depending from the boom 2. The free corner of the sail 3 may be tethered by ropes or sheets (14, Fig 1) to points on the sides of the hull 7 or deck such that it is positioned substantially above the centre line of the hull 7. The sail 3 can be fully deployed within the closed loop shape of the mast 1 without fouling the mast 1. This allows the sail 3 full and unrestricted deployment, results in exceptionally good sailing and provides swift and easy tacking.

Granted: 1983-08-03
Abstract: A velvet-type or snap-together fastener web comprises a warp-knitted ground structure and series of interlooped loops disposed in at least every other wale, each loop including a pair of mushroomed stems projecting from the wale at each course. To produce such a fastener web, a double-faced fabric is knitted on a Raschel warp knitting machine, and is separated into a plurality of strips by dissolving transversely spaced water-soluble threads in the fabric. Each strip is divided into front and back fabric webs by severing thermoplastic thread portions therebetween, leaving a multiplicity of raised stems on each fabric web. The raised fabric stems are then heated to mushroom their ends.
