Abstract: Pollutants are selectively removed from water passing upwards through a bed of granular adsorption material. The water to be treated contains a first material (or mixture of materials) which is to be removed and a second material (or mixture of materials) which is not to be removed, where the first material is more capable of adsorption than the second material. Periodically, 5 to 70% of the adsorption material is removed from the lower end of the bed and the same amount of fresh or regenerated adsorption material is added to the bed from above. 30 to 70% of the water to be treated is fed into the lower region of the bed and the remainder of the water to be treated is added directly to the lower region of the freshly-added adsorption material. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the hot-rolling of strip on a multiple-stand finishing line of a rolling mill train in which the speeds and the roll-nip heights of the working rolls of each stand are controlled as a function of the instantaneous operating state, in which arrangement, for the readjustment of the roll-nip height after the hot strip enters a stand, [lacuna] from a desired strip-thickness position is switched over to a strip-supply indicator, and to a rolling-force indicator when the strip leaves the preceding stand, the result of a previous thickness measurement being utilized for the first stand. The strip thickness - if need be while allowing for fluctuations in the strip width - can thereby be controlled very quickly and accurately. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for producing a pattern of metal oxide superconducting (MOS) pathways, that comprise, combining a resist polymer, including polymers of heteroatom aromatic rings (HRP), with compounds of metals by forming a polymer metal complex precursor (PMC); applying said PMC as a layer to a substrate; irradiating the layer with an image of such pattern as by one or more of visible and invisible electromagnetic waves, electron beam, gamma rays and laser beam irradiation. By proper choice of the energy and intensity of the radiation an image is created directly which is superconducting. Other choices of radiation forms a latent image in either positive or negative modes which is then developed by oxygenating the layer at eleva­ted temperature to transform the same into a MOS of super­conducting pathways corresponding to said pattern. Novel superconducting structures particularly useful in semi­conductor integrated circuit and LSIC applications can be produced by this process. The novel heteroatom aromatic ring polymers (HRP) are also useful more generally, as is the generic process of producing superconducting   composites of a mixture of metal-oxide superconductor (MOS) with a monomer either with or without catalyst or initiator and with subsequent polymerization, or mixing the MOS with a polymer solution and subsequently removing the solvent.

Abstract: An electronic braking system (EBS) (12) for a towing vehicle which provides for trailer service brake pressure supply via an additional EBS sub-system (48), and wherein, in order to speed up the application of trailer braking, the electrical signal representing the driver's braking demand is processed to generate an additional pressure pre-pulse of predetermined amplitude to pressurise the trailer braking circuit in advance of the proportional pressure setting determined by the driver. The pre-pulse is made up of two parts, a preset fixed duration pulse followed without break by a variable duration continuation pulse. The variable duration of the variable duration pulse is determined primarily by the rate of increase of the driver's demand signal.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Flüssigkeitssystem für eine durch einen Turbolader (2) aufgeladene Brennkraftmaschine (1), wobei der Turbolader über eine Vorlaufleitung (4) und eine Rücklaufleitung (6) mit dem Kühlkreislauf der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden ist und im Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine eine Zwangsumlaufkühlung erfolgt, sowie das Kühlsystem einen Ausgleichsbehälter (8) für die Kühlflüssigkeit aufweist. Um sicherzustellen, daß die Kühlung des Turboladers nach dem Abschalten der Brennkraftmaschine ohne Zuhilfenahme einer nachlaufenden Umwälzpumpe mit einem hohen Wirkungsgrad erfolgt, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß sich in der Vorlaufleitung des Turboladers ein Rückschlagventil (5) befindet und die Rücklaufleitung des Turboladers verzweigt ausgebildet ist, in eine erste Leitung (10), die oberhalb des Kühlmittelspiegels (12) in den Ausgleichsbehälter mündet sowie eine zweite Leitung (11), die unterhalb des Kühlmittelspiegels in den Ausgleichsbehälter mündet und ein Rückschlagventil (7) enthält. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kühlsystem führt ein Abschalten der Brennkraftmaschine dazu, daß das Kühlmittel im Turbolader aufgeheizt wird, verdampft und die dampfförmige Phase die flüssige Kühlmittelphase mehr oder weniger in den Ausgleichsbehälter ausstößt. Dies führt zu einem Druckunterschied am Rückschlagventil der Vorlaufleitung, so daß Kühlflüssigkeit aus dem System durch die Vorlaufleitung (4) zum Turbolader (2) nachläuft. Der zyklische und schubweise Vorgang endet erst, wenn das Lager des Turboladers auf Kühlmittelsiedetemperatur abgekühlt ist.

Abstract: A multiple reagent test strip-reading instrument having rails extending from a loading area to one or more reading station platforms and thence to a waste receptacle, a reciprocating blotter arm which contacts individual reagent strips sequentially placed trans­versely on the rails in the loading area, moving individual strips along the rails to an indexing strip advancing mechanism which intermittently advances the strips along the rails in spaced parallel relation, and after each advance, allows the strips to dwell for a predetermined time period; individual test strips being thereby sequentially delivered to reading position on the reading station platform where, during the dwell period, they are read by reflectance photo­metry. After reading, the strips are moved to the waste receptacle. Means is provided for insuring that each test strip is delivered to reading position in registration with the read head of the photometer, and means is also provided for pressing each test strip flat against the reading station platform. The indexing mechanism employs a strip advancing member provided with parallel rows of equally spaced upstanding pegs or fingers, there being guiding and drive means for imparting movement to said member along a vertical orbital path having a generally circular extent and also having a rectilinear extent parallel with the rails, said pegs intersecting the plane of the reagent srips on the rails when said member moves forwardly along said rectilinear extent and being withdrawn from said plane when said member moves rearwardly along said circular extent.
