Title: Measuring a gap between a tube and a float
Inventor: MERSCH STEVEN H
IPC: G01B11/14
Filed: 1990-06-25
Abstract: An apparatus or method determines the gap (11) between an assembly (12) of a tube (13) and a cylindrical float (14) located substantially concentric to the tube. An elliptically polarized light beam (A) at the wavelength for which the materials of the tube and the gap are transparent or translucent is along an optical axis (C). The index of refraction of the tube and float materials are greater than the index of refraction of the gap material. Means translates and rotates the assembly along and about its longitudinal axis (F) producing an illumination (B). A light filtering means (21) along the optical axis beyond the assembly blocks light of the illumination (B) reflected by the assembly and refracted by the tube (13), the gap (11) between the tube, and the float (14) and the float and transmits light of the illumination (B) refracted by the tube and the gap between tube and float. Light detection means (15) receives transmitted light and signals a signal processing means (16). The method has steps of transmitting the monochromatic beam of elliptically polarized light along the optical axis to the assembly, focusing the beam of light, translating and rotating the assembly through the light, producing an illumination, filtering the illumination by blocking illumination reflected by the assembly and refracted by the float, the tube and the gap between the tube and the float and transmitting the illumination refracted by the tube and the gap between the tube and the float.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH96/00252 Sec. 371 Date May 15, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date May 15, 1998 PCT Filed Jul. 8, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/02864 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 30, 1997Mercury-contaminated substances are fed through a shredder to a loader that loads a rotary tubular kiln, in which a mercury content is evaporated by a primary burner. A temperature of an unlined rotary kiln is monitored from an outside at various points over an entire length, by infrared sensors. The thus acquired data are supplied to a regulating unit that regulates fuel supply and primary air supply through various control lines. Burned gas is supplied through a duct to a cyclone separator in which solids are separated and returned to the process. The gaseous substances are fed through a postcombustion chamber of a quench to a washer in which mercury is removed. The residual gas reaches a chimney through an active coal filter. This process is particularly easy to control, economical and allows a particularly low residual mercury content to be reached, for example less than 0.1 ppm, in a residual combustion product.
