Abstract: The invention relates to controlling a flotation plant comprising primary cells, of a primary stage, each equipped with a froth overflow, and secondary cells downstream of these for the overflow amounts. The invention is characterised by the features:   a) setting the overflow height, which is then left unchanged, to the froth channel in the flotation cell of the primary stage; b) damming the froth and measuring the damming height in the froth channel of the primary stage; c) controlling, dependent on this measurement signal, the amount of material of the primary stage to as constant as possible or approximately constant damming height of the flow channel of the primary stage; d) separating out air from the overflow amount of the primary stage, passing the same to a collection vessel low down; e) returning the amount of material of the secondary stage in part to the primary stage and in part as a by-pass amount to the secondary stage upstream of the pump conveying material from the collection vessel for the primary stage to the secondary stage and downstream of this collection vessel; f) controlling the level in the collection vessel for the overflow amount of the primary stage via the by-pass amount to the secondary stage; g) measuring the level in the froth channel of the secondary stage upstream of an outlet weir of the same and controlling the ratio of the amount returned to the primary stage and the by-pass amount going to the secondary stage, in dependence on this measurement signal.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Since battery is convenient for mounting up, it is widely used for various kinds of appliances, such as electro vehicles, etc. But the kind of storage, or fuel, or thermal, or solar battery has physilcal basic voltage. Generally speaking, we shall choose its voltage and capacity by means of its multiple series and supply it in accordance with the need of load by means of stepped voltage, or control it by serial linear members, or operate it by chopped wave switches. This is an efficient circuit design mainly to provide a multi-output stepped compound voltage, and further to combine with a field intensity control to enable DC motor control circuit to provide continuous linear control among stepped voltages in relation to voltage output or the output by slow increase in speed or slow feedback reduction and further to control the motor by means of series with limited current of solid switch members or constant current output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Improvements relating to methods and apparatuses for kidney dialysis are disclosed. These include checking of dialysate bypass status using flow measurement; using a flow sensor to confirm the absence of ultrafiltration during bypass; automatic testing of ultrafiltration function by removal of a discrete volume from a portion of the dialysate flow path coupled with a pressure test of that part of the flow path; using a touch screen user interface; bar graph profile programming of ultrafiltration, sodium, and bicarbonate parameters; using a RAM card to upload treatment instructions to, and to download treatment data from, the machine; automatic setting of proportioning mode (acetate or bicarbonate) based on connections of concentrate lines; predicting dialysate conductivity values based on brand and formulation of concentrates; minimizing no-flow dead time between dialysate pulses; initiating operation in a timed mode from a machine power-off condition; preserving machine mode during machine power-fail condition; calibration scheduling and reminding; automatic level adjusting; and blood leak flow rate detecting. The UF profiling feature allows shifting of a proposed profile along a UF-rate axis to ensure the volume of ultrafiltrate to be removed from a patient equals a target UF volume. This feature also allows programming of the UF profile to automatically conform to the sodium profile and saving of a particular UF profile for later recall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bidirectional radio system for low cost, high through-put accumulation of data from a large number of site units. The site units are connected to remote radio transceivers in radio communication with a plurality of base stations. Accurate frequency synchronization allows multiple carriers within a 12.5 kHz FCC bandwidth. Frequency synchronization is achieved at low cost by transmitting a high accuracy carrier and clock signal at a base station, and using receiving circuitry a remote stations to extract the base clock signal and base carrier frequency and a phase-lock loop to stabilize the remote station carriers. The reception circuitry at a remote station provides independent carrier frequency and clock rate recovery, a phase-lock loop at baseband, and a coarse clock rate recovery circuit coupled to a fine clock rate recovery circuit. Remote station responses are time domain multiplexed. A base station receiver can decode a very short remote station response by scaling the response with the phase and amplitude of an initial segment of the response. Spatial reuse of carrier frequencies further increases the rate of data through-put.

Abstract: The arrangement for closing the slots (which are filled with conductor rods (4) or coils) of the laminated stator core (5) of an electrical machine by means of slot closure pieces comprises an upper prismatic body (1) on whose underneath (8) a surface runs in an inclined manner, and a lower prismatic body (2). The upper surface (9), facing the upper body, runs in the opposite direction to the gradient of the lower surface (8) of the other body, the actual wedging being carried out by relative displacement of the two prismatic bodies (1,2) with respect to one another. In order to be able to utilise the elasticity of the upper body (1) in the transverse direction optimally, the force of the conductor rod (4) or coil on the upper prismatic body (1) over its entire length is introduced essentially only in its central section. In consequence, relatively large spring movements in the radial direction are available which, for their part, can better compensate for seating phenomena in winding construction. In this way, maintenance intervals are extended, and the availability of the machine is increased. <IMAGE>
