Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method using activated sludge for the removal of biological nutrients from a wastewater includes a bioreactor (12) for containing a mixture of wastewater under treatment and activated sludge. The bioreactor (12) is divided into a plurality of serially connected treatment zones (30, 32, 34, 36, 38) and includes a wastewater inlet (18), a downstream aerobic zone /38) and an upstream aerobic zone (34) between the wastewater inlet (18) and the downstream aerobic zone (38). A membrane filter is provided in the downstream aerobic zone so that it functions as an immersed membrane filter (56) with a bioreactor containing an operative volume of wastewater and activated sludge. The immersed membrane filter filters treated water flowing from the bioreactor through a first outlet (20). An aerator (58) is operative associated with the membrane filter (56) for purging solids from the membrane filter (56). A second outlet in the downstream aerobic zone (60) is connected to an inlet in the upstream aerobic zone for recycling activated sludge charged with oxygen from the downstream aerobic zone to the upstream aerobic zone.

Title: External actuator for a door, in particular for vehicles
Inventor: KLEIN HELMUT
IPC: E05B85/18
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an external actuator for a door comprising a handle (15) located on the exterior of an external door cladding (35) and a support (20) fixed to the interior of the door. The handle (15) is provided with two levers (11, 12), which are threaded through two openings in the external door cladding (35) for assembly and define a bearing axis (29) after assembly, said axis running through the free lever ends and the extensions (21, 22) on the support (20). A cover (30) is fixed onto one end of the support (20). To produce a cost-effective actuator, a bearing part (40) is mounted in a fixed manner onto each lever end of the handle (15) and a counter-bearing (24) is mounted in a fixed manner onto each extension (21, 22) of the support (20). Said parts have coupling surfaces which complement each other and determine the bearing axis (29) of the handle (15) when they are engaged. These coupling surfaces can be interlocked in a positive fit in the direction of the bearing axis (29). The bearing parts (40) are preferably configured in one piece with the handle (15) and the counter-bearing parts (24) in one piece with the support (20). There is thus no need for a preassembly.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un régleur à flotteur d'un dispositif de commande automatique de niveau d'eau, servant à régler le niveau d'eau de plusieurs fluides. L'invention concerne notamment un régleur à flotteur d'un dispositif de commande automatique de niveau d'eau, comportant plusieurs orifices de sortie et capable de régler le niveau d'eau. L'invention met en oeuvre plusieurs orifices de sortie et est conçue de façon que si le flotteur monte, une première soupape s'ouvre et, par voie de conséquence, une seconde soupape s'ouvre, à une pression d'eau basse. Ainsi, il est possible d'utiliser de façon optimale un espace en diminuant la taille du flotteur ou en raccourcissant la tige de support. En outre, l'invention est avantageuse en ce qu'elle n'est pas susceptible de contamination, en ce qu'elle met en oeuvre une résine synthétique, laquelle ne peut éclater sous l'effet du gel car elle possède une faible conductivité thermique, et en ce qu'elle est économique pour les consommateurs car son coût de fabrication est réduit.

Abstract: Dipstick tests for detecting analyte are described. In a preferred embodiment, a multiple biotinylated antibody capable of binding analyte is bound to an anti-biotin antibody labelled with colloidal gold and wicked up the dipstick with test solution thought to contain analyte. Complex formed between analyte, biotinylated anti-analyte antibody, and colloidal gold labelled anti-biotin antibody is captured at a capture zone of the dipstick. Presence of colloidal gold label at the capture zone indicates the presence of analyte in the test solution. The sensitivity of analyte detection using such methods is an order of magnitude higher than for comparable methods in which biotinylated anti-analyte antibody bound to analyte is wicked up the dipstick in a first step, and a colloidal gold labelled anti-biotin antibody is wicked up the dipstick in a separate step. Kits for performing the tests of the invention are also described.
