IPC: C21C7/00
Filed: 1993-12-30
Granted: 2004-03-08
Abstract: The proposed process for the continuous refining of metal involves the following steps: molten metal is fed into a reaction chamber; gaseous and solid oxidising agents are introduced; loose materials are added; the metal and slag are totally converted to a foaming emulsion; a raised pulsed pressure is created within the reaction chamber and the system is made to deviate significantly from thermodynamic equilibrium by the creation of a self-adjusting system of chemical gas-producing reactions; the emulsion is removed to a settling tank at the critical outflow-rate of the two-phase liquid; and the metal and slag are separated in the settling tank and gas is removed at a predetermined rate through the thick emulsion layer. The proposed facility for the continuous refining of metal comprises: a spherical reaction chamber (1) with a channel through which the liquid metal (5) and loose materials (4) can be introduced; a device in the form of opposing tuyeres for supplying gaseous oxygen; a cylindrical connecting channel (2); a settling tank (3) with tap holes to allow the removal of metal (20) and slag (15) and divided into two vertical channels to facilitate the separation of slag (16) and gas (17); a channel for feeding in slag-forming materials (13); and tuyeres for supplying oxygen (11 and 12). <MATH>

Abstract: A method and system for detoxify hazardous waste is described. The waste is mechanically particularized to a predetermined particle size and is then subjected to a gas flow having a temperature between 250 DEG  C. and 750 DEG  C. At the same time, the particularized waste is agitated to enhance its exposure to the gals flow, resulting in gasification of a substantial portion of the solid waste. The remaining particularized waste residue is collected for recycling of further disposal. After passing through the agitated particularized waste, the gas flow is circulated to a thermolytic detoxification reactor and then recirculated to the agitated particularized waste.

Abstract: An electrotransport system (20) for delivery of a drug through the skin (63) of a patient includes a tactile signal generator (36) for generating and transmitting a tactile signal to the skin of a patient upon the occurrence of an event associated with the operation of the system. The tactile signal may be an electric AC signaling current (Sr, Sp) applied through the skin, ie, an electric current different from the therapeutic electrotransport drive current. The electric signaling current is preferably a pulsed current of sufficient frequency and amplitude to allow the patient to feel it. The tactile signal may alternatively be generated by an electromechanical device in contact with the skin such as a piezoelectric vibrating element or magnetodynamic element such as a solenoid driven pin. The waveform of the tactile signaling current preferably has a zero average current component such that no net therapeutic drug is delivered by the tactile signal current. In certain cases, the tactile signaling current may contribute to electrotransport drug delivery.

Granted: 2009-06-11
Abstract: A method of producing enzyme granulates, enzyme granulates produced By the method, and the use thereof in formulations is provided, for example, for animal feed, foodstuffs, washing agents, rinsing agents or for pharmaceutical uses. The enzyme granulates have a high relative proportion of active enzyme, particular particle size, good shelf life, particularly small rounding factors and/or low residual moisture proportion, and further specific properties. The production of the enzyme granulates is achieved by linking of the thermal conditions in the injection zone and temperature conditions in the remainder of the apparatus. This is achieved by introduction of heated process gasses for drying exclusively in the injection zone. The secure introduction of articles into the injection zone is achieved by the specific geometric arrangement of the apparatus using gravity. The absolute value for enzyme activity of the enzyme granulates can be controlled by the addition of particles as seed material for the granules.

Abstract: A coupling device for coupling a patient-side medical line to an equipment-side medical line. The device includes two parts, one fluidly coupled to each medical line, and each part having a seal that seals the respective medical line when the parts are disconnected. When the parts are connected, the seals unseal the medical lines so as to establish fluid communication between the medical lines. The parts are connected together by way of a coupling that detaches when subjected to a sufficient separation force. The coupling may be a snap-fit mechanism incorporating a rounded protrusion and a rounded groove that pull apart under a sufficient force. The coupling device provides for a safety breakaway feature while sealing both medical lines when disconnected.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring parameters of a stratified flow
Inventor: BAILEY TIMOTHY J
IPC: G01F1/7082
Filed: 2005-03-10
Granted: 2010-12-23
Abstract: Various methods are described for measuring parameters of a stratified flow using at least one spatial array of sensors disposed at different axial locations along the pipe. Each of the sensors provides a signal indicative of unsteady pressure created by coherent structures convecting with the flow. In one aspect, a signal processor determines, from the signals, convection velocities of coherent structures having different length scales. The signal processor then compares the convection velocities to determine a level of stratification of the flow. The level of stratification may be used as part of a calibration procedure to determine the volumetric flow rate of the flow. In another aspect, the level of stratification of the flow is determined by comparing locally measured velocities at the top and bottom of the pipe. The ratio of the velocities near the top and bottom of the pipe correlates to the level of stratification of the flow. Additional sensor arrays may provide a velocity profile for the flow. In another aspect, each of the sensors in the array includes a pair of sensor half-portions disposed on opposing lateral surfaces of the pipe, and the signal processor determines a nominal velocity of the flow within the pipe using the signals.
