Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the removal of components causing turbidity, from a fluid, by means of microfiltration, whereby the fluid is beer, wine, fruit juice, bacterial suspension, blood, milk, enzyme suspension, etc. According to the invention the fluid to be treated is fed across an asymmetric membrane having a pore structure such that the pores on the feed side of the membrane are larger than the nominal pore size and the pores of nominal pore size occur in the cross section toward the permeate side, the filtered off components are back-flushed from the membrane and are subsequently carried away with the fluid. The nominal pore size is usually 0.1-5.0  mu m and preferably 0.2-1.0  mu m. The membrane may be tubular, flat or capillary. Back-flushing takes place intermittently with a frequency of 1 second to 10 minutes for 0.1-1 second at a counter pressure of 0.5-5 bar. The feed velocity is preferably below 2 m/s and the pressure difference over the membrane is less than 0.5 bar.

Abstract: In a method of positioning a workpiece holder (1) in a machine, provision is made for the workpiece holder (1) to be put into and fixed in a position approximately corresponding to the desired position and for its initial position to then be determined with the aid of at least two reference marks (22, 23) made on the workpiece holder (1). The workpieces (50, 51, 52, 53, 54) clamped in the workpiece holder (1) are measured at a measuring location specially equipped for this. The measuring data thus determined are transmitted to the machine. The effective position of the workpieces (50, 51, 52, 53, 54) on the machine can then be calculated from the position of the reference marks (22, 23). Furthermore, a workpiece holder (1) is proposed which has at least two reference marks (22, 23), arranged at a horizontal distance from one another, for detecting its position in the X- and Y-direction as well as its angular position about the Z-axis. By such a method and a workpiece holder (1) designed according to the invention, the position of the workpiece holder (1) in the clamped state can be determined more accurately than hitherto. In addition, such a workpiece holder (1) embodied without conventional centring elements is considerably less expensive to manufacture. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to prepare crosslinked polymer mouldings, thermoplastic base polymers in flowable form are mixed with likewise flowable support polymers which are dispersible or soluble in the base polymer in the presence of a crosslinking agent. These mutually compatible components are warmed, with further mixing, to a reaction temperature above the melting range of the base polymer and are processed. Inter-polymer-chain bonds formed by reaction of free radicals and/or the polymer chains themselves are degraded. A support polymer which has a porous structure and in each case contain at least one coagent and/or organic peroxide introduced into the finely porous structure in liquid form as a silane-free crosslinking agent are mixed into the base polymer. Peroxide-containing support polymers are warmed, and coagent-containing support polymers are irradiated. The mouldings are used, for example, for cable and sheath insulations, pipes for hot-water lines and heavy-duty injection mouldings.

Abstract: The improved disk drive system has an improved actuator arm assembly where the arms are independently and individually insertable and removable from the actuator member. Furthermore, each arm is individually self-locked into the actuator member without the need for external retaining means such as screws, springs, and rings. Since the arms are individually insertable/removable, the arms can be made very thin thereby allowing easy attachment of the head suspension assembly to the arm without the need for swaging, bonding, welding or screw-in. Since the arms can be made very thin, that provides substantial reduction in disk to disk spacing and therefore, substantial reduction in the overall height of a disk drive system.

Date Mar. 14, 1996In a method for the desalination of seawater, there is evaporated and condensed the seawater, within a primary system, and a secondary medium, preferentially untreated water, within a compressor-containing, self-contained secondary system spatially separated from the primary system. The seawater is evaporated by heating in the presence of the secondary medium previously heated in the compressor at excess pressure, the latter medium is evaporated in the secondary system through condensation of the seawater vapour and the seawater vapour is led through a cyclone separator. The total seawater flow supplied to the primary system is subdivided into a first component flow and a second component flow of at least approximately equal magnitude, the first component flow, in a first heat transfer unit through which flows the hot water distillate at the output of the primary system, and the second component flow, in a second heat transfer unit through which flows the discharged hot wash-out, being brought to a temperature approaching the boiling temperature in the primary system. A value between greater than 1 and less than 2 is chosen for the ratio of supplied total seawater quantity per unit of time to wash-out quantity per unit of time (concentration factor CF). A method of this kind is suitable for thermal seawater desalination, enabling the production of germ-free water distillate of high quality under simultaneously lesser concentration of the seawater being evaporated and nonetheless saving energy.
