Abstract: Process for utilizing non-sorted used batteries comprises crushing the batteries, sieving to remove the coarse particles and concentrating the remaining battery powder by wet metallurgy. The powder remaining after sieving is added to an alkaline electrolyte whose pH has been adjusted so that Zn ions are present as zincate. The metallic zinc contained in the battery powder is anodically brought into solution in an electrolytic process. The zinc is recovered from the electrolyte by electrolysis. The insoluble battery powder remaining in the electrolyte is disposed of elsewhere.   An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for carrying out the process comprising a container (1) for the electrolyte (2), a cathode (4) partially immersed in the electrolyte, and an anode (7) partially immersed in the electrolyte.

Abstract: A silicon monolithic miniature intra-ocular
pressure sensing probe utilises pressure sensing
piezoresistors (R1-R4) attached to a silicon pressure
sensing membrane (29) which is directly exposed to the
irrigating fluid used during an eye operation, for
example. From a silicon fabrication point of view,
this is a micro electromechanical (MEM) device and the
integration of the piezoresistive pressure sensor
directly into the cannula (11) which is inserted into
the eye is partially made possible by providing p++
etch stops to gain access for electrical connection to
the piezoresistive elements arranged in a Wheatstone
bridge configuration. The silicon sensing membrane
(29) forms a smooth surface to avoid turbulence and is
close to the eye to minimise error.
