Title: Process and device for processing hydroxide sludges
Inventor: REUTER ROLF
IPC: C22B7/00
Filed: 1988-09-02
Granted: 1991-04-26
Abstract: Batches of hydroxide sludges are successively converted with various reagents in a reaction container, thus transforming by oxidation the chrome hydroxide into chromate. The zinc hydroxide is extracted by alkalis. The chrome hydroxide in the residue of the alkali processing is oxidized into chromate. Copper and nickel are extracted with acids from the oxidation residues. The remaining residual sludge contains essentially iron hydroxide. Copper oxide is precipitated from the solution, separated from the nickel solution and finally dissolved in acid. The separation can be carried out in a single container and supplies the separated components of the hydroxide sludge in a form that allows these components to be recuperated as useful materials.

Title: Compositions containing sodium percarbonate
Inventor: JAMES ALUN PRYCE
IPC: C11D7/18
Filed: 1997-03-27
Granted: 2000-11-16
Abstract: Sodium percarbonate exhibits a tendency to decompose in built compositions and particularly detergent compositions built with zeolites. The tendency can be ameliorated by selecting sodium percarbonate which intrinsically has a mean particle size of from 500 to 1000 microns and not more than 20% by weight of below 350 microns and has a moisture pick-up when measured in a test at 80% relative humidity and 32° C. after 24 hours of not greater than 30 g/1000 g sample. A suitable sodium percarbonate can be made most conveniently by crystallisation from a bulk saturated solution of sodium percarbonate in a crystalliser/classifier that does not employ a conventional chloride salting-out agent.

Title: Gray level addressing for LCDs
Inventor: SCHEFFER TERRY J
IPC: G09F9/00
Filed: 1993-05-11
Granted: 1996-04-18
Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing gray level addressing for passive liquid crystal display (LCD) panels having overlapping row and column electrodes defining pixels are disclosed. Depending upon whether the rows are being addressed by "standard" or "Swift" addressing, the signals for applying to the column electrodes are determined by different calculations, in all of which modes the amplitudes of the column signals are related to the gray level desired to be displayed by the individual pixels. For a split interval system, column signals of appropriate amplitude and polarity are applied during different subintervals of a characteristic time interval of the display panel depending upon the method of addressing the rows. In the full interval mode, the column signals applied over a full time interval are based on the desired gray level of all the pixels in the column, adjusted to provide the proper rms voltage across all the pixels so that they display the desired gray levels. <IMAGE>

Title: Gamma radiation detector with enhanced signal treatment
Inventor: RAMSEY RAYMOND CRAIG
IPC: G01T1/161
Filed: 1989-09-21
Granted: 1991-08-08
Abstract: A hand-held gamma radiation probe (12) is employed to locate radiation concentrations in animal tissue in conjunction with a control function providing an enhanced audio output particularly suited for curing the user as to source position. The probe (12) is positioned at a location on the animal body representing background radiation and a squelch low count rate is developed therefrom. The squelch low count rate is multiplied by a range factor to develop a squelch high count rate and frequencies are developed from a lock-up frequency table from lowest to highest in correspondance with the developed high and low squelch count rates. Slew rate limiting of the count rates is provided by development of a squelch delta value representing the difference between the squelch high and low count rates divided by a time element. Selection of frequencies for audio output from the frequency table is limited by the value of the squelch delta value. A weighting of received radiation counts is carried out continuously to develop count rate values used by the system.

A plurality of different embodiments of ICRs are disclosed each of which are adjustable in terms of their thickness. The thickness may be adjusted prior to the insertion of the ICR into the cornea and may not be further adjustable after insertion. However, in accordance with preferred embodiments the ICR is inserted at a thickness which is believed to be proper and may thereafter be further adjusted in order to precisely define the desired thickness and thereby more precisely adjust the shape of the cornea and focus the light entering the eye on the retina.

Title: Contact tip for welding electrode
Inventor: NILSSON ANDERS
IPC: B23K9/28
Filed: 1986-02-07
Granted: 1988-11-03
Abstract: A contact tip for supporting a consumable welding electrode and for supplying welding current thereto. The contact tip is generally rod-shaped and has a passage with a helical contact surface. The welding electrode is fed through the passage and makes electrical contact with the contact tip. Because of the helical contact surface, the passage never becomes constricted by cumulative deposits of dirt and extraneous matter from the welding electrode surface. Also, the helical contact surface, which axially extends at least one complete turn, has an unbending effect on the welding electrode, thus straightening the electrode. A distance "A" of the electrode axis from the contact tip axis may be chosen, as desired, considering the diameter of the welding electrode. Optionally, the contact tip may include a sleeve-like nozzle, to shield the contact tip from deposits of welding splatter.
