Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of selectively obtaining phosphorus from solids containing heavy metals and phosphate. In this method, the solid is treated under acidic aerobic conditions using microorganisms comprising leaching microorganisms and polyphosphate-accumulating microorganisms, so that the heavy metals and the phosphates are released from the solid and the released phosphates may be taken up by the polyphosphate-accumulating microorganisms. The phosphorus-enriched biomass that is obtained in this manner is separated and may be utilized, e.g., as organic fertilizer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for diagnosing and treating neural dysfunction is disclosed. This device has the capability of delivering the therapeutic electrical energy to more than one treatment electrode simultaneously. In another exemplary embodiment, this device can perform EMG testing both before and after the therapeutic energy has been delivered, to assess whether the target nerve was successfully treated. In another embodiment, the device has the capability to record and store sensory stimulation thresholds both before and after treatment is described, which allows the clinician to accurately determine whether the target nerve has been desensitized. Energy control may achieved by simultaneously comparing the tip temperature of each treatment electrode to a set temperature selected by the operator, and regulating the therapeutic energy output to maintain the set temperature. In another embodiment, EMG, stimulation thresholds, and graphs of temperature versus time can be conveniently displayed on a two-dimensional graphics display.

Abstract: Apparatus for the dynamic in-circuit testing of digital electronic devices employs a hardware testing circuit that is set by a microcomputer which takes no direct part in the test, so that the test hardware speed is not limited by the computer speed. The apparatus comprises a library of devices equivalent to the devices to be tested, the library including a ROM containing the information regarding the devices needed by the microcomputer for its purpose. An internal interface or router receives signals from the test device that are input signals to its terminals and routes them directly to the corresponding selected device in the library where it becomes an input to that device also. Signals from the test device that are output signals are routed instead to a comparison block where they are compared with the respective output signals from the library reference device. The signals at each corresponding pin of the two devices are compared and upon the presence of a fault the apparatus stops and identifies the pin or pins on which a fault has been detected. An external interface is provided to shift the signal levels as required between the test device and the transistor-transistor logic devices of the apparatus. The signals are sampled during timed periods to account for different propagation times through the apparatus, and different operating speeds of the devices. Provision is made for external or internal clocks, reset and ground connections.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for heat transfer between two mediums comprises a tubular shell (10) and a finned tube (11) provided in the shell. One medium flows in the shell, and the other medium flows in the finned tube. The shell is divided into two chambers (13, 14), provided on either side of the finned tube, so that the medium flowing through the shell enters into the first chamber (13) which is positioned above the second chamber (14) and then flows downwards between the fins (12) into the second chamber (14). The shell has an elongate cross section, the fins of the tube abutting two opposite walls of the shell. The position of the tube within the shell can change along the length of the shell. The heat exchanger is intended for condensation of vapour, e.g. in connection with heat pumps. Vapour is then fed into the shell, and a cooling medium is fed into the tube. The flowing vapour promotes the discharge of the condensate from the fins. In one embodiment, the shell is wound to an upright coil in which the condensate is collected at the lower end of the coil.

Abstract: A method of placing a metal oxide film on a surface of a heated glass substrate (16). The glass substrate in one which is being moved in a selected direction from a glass manufacturing process (20) and is one which would have a temperature in a range from (700-1200<o>F (370-650<o>C). The method is accomplished by spraying a heat decomposable, organic based metal salt onto the glass ribbon. The spray powder is delivered by means of a gaseous stream to a location spaced above the moving substrate. The spray powder is then accelerated from the location spaced above the moving glass substrate . The acceleration is accomplished by entraining the spray powder in a high velocity stream of air. The accelerated spray powder is directed downwardly toward the moving glass substrate and longitudinally along the selected direction of movement of the glass substrate. Individual particles of the spray are either vaporized, decomposed and reacted with oxygen to from a tightly adherent coating on the glass substrate, or they are rapidly exhausted.

Abstract: In a quadrupole ion store or ion trap type mass spectometer, significantly improved mass selection is achieved by simultaneously trapping ions within the mass range of interest and then scanning the applied RF and DC voltages or the frequency  omega  to sequentially render unstable trapped ions of consecutive specific masses. These are passed out through apertures in an end cap to a high gain electron multiplier to provide a signal indicative of the ion mass. Sensitivity and mass resolution is also enhanced by operating the ion trap at a relatively high pressure in the range 1x10-1 to 1x10-5 torr. The presence of collision gas molecules, such as helium, improves sensitivity and mass resolution. In addition, the structure itself is built of stacked units, sealed by O-rings, which are easily disassembled for cleaning.
