Abstract: A trickle filtration apparatus, designed to be sunk into the ground leaving only an upper portion of the apparatus above ground level (GL), comprises a primary settlement, tank (1a) side-by-side with a secondary settlement tank (6). Contained within the primary settlement, tank (1a) is a pump chamber (2), at the bottom of which is at least one pump (3) for pumping supernatent continuously to the top of filter media (5) in a filter tank (4) above the first-mentioned two tanks (1a,6). Supernatent trickles down the filter media (5) and is collected at the bottom to flow through a conduit (14) back to the pump chamber (2). The primary and secondary settlement tanks (1a,6) are separated by a pressure bulkhead (7), through which the conduit (14) extends. Inflow of sewage into the primary tank (1a) results in supernatent spilling out of the conduit (14) at a break point (16) into the secondary settlement tank (6), and in treated liquor spilling out of the latter (6) through an outlet (17). Oxygenation of the biomass on the filter media (5) is by natural air convection.

Abstract: An upright-crosspiece unit is described for the formation of metal shelves, particularly in thin sheet, with perfected means of coupling. The upright mainly consists of a tubular body with polygonal cross-section, on the faces of which at least two series of projections are provided, shaped to resemble a "mushroom", as they are composed on one side by end or "head" of larger cross-section, and on the other, with cross-section smaller or equal to the "shank" which connects the head to the upright body. The end of the crosspiece is correspondingly equipped with at least one series of openings obtained in corresponding positions to the upright projections, each of which presents a part with larger cross-section with wall projecting from the plane of the end of the crosspiece and a part with smaller cross-section suitable to receive, with slight forcing, the shank of one of the upright projections. The upright projections are obtained, for example, by drawing and therefore without removal of material. Furthermore, the shank of the projections is connected to the body of the upright with an undercut, also obtained by drawing, which forms a reinforcement to the stress of the projection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Multi-stage catalytic systems and methods are provided for converting NOx, CO, and hydrocarbons in a mixture, to innocuous products. The systems include first and second stages, each with substrate and catalyst. The mixture is contacted with the first stage for conversion of the major portion of the NOx and a portion of the CO and hydrocarbons. The output is contacted with the second stage to for conversion of CO and hydrocarbons. In one system, the first stage catalyst consists essentially of rhodium and a zeolite; the second stage catalyst comprises a noble metal including platinum and/or palladium, and a support. The mixture has a mole ratio of reducing to oxidizing agents of at least 0.8. Low ammonia is generated. In another system, the first stage substrate is made of material capable of being heated to at least 150<o>C in no more than about 20 seconds, has heating means for doing same, and is at this temperature at least part of the time of contact with the mixture. The first stage catalyst comprises a support and rhodium with optionally platinum and/or palladium. The second stage catalyst comprises a support, and platinum and/or palladium, and optionally rhodium. Most of the rhodium is in the first stage; most of the platinum and/or palladium is in the second stage. At least 70% by volume of the NOx, CO, and hydrocarbons is converted. The weight ratio of Pt and/or Pd:Rh in each system is at least about 15:1.

Abstract: In a method for transmitting television signals, the phase of the carrier signal modulated with a video signal is changed by 180 DEG C from line to line of the video signal. The consequence of this measure is that the interference signal from a common-channel transmitter has the opposite effect from line to line of the displayed image, that is to say in a first line, for example, as brightening and in the next one as darkening. These disturbances which are oppositely directed from line to line are cancelled out by the visual faculty of the viewer or by electronics designed for the purpose, so that the image information generated by the interfering transmitter is no longer perceived.

Abstract: Primers and probes can be used to detect nucleic acid from Mycobacterium in a sample and determine the species from which the nucleic acid originates. The primers amplify regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene and hybridize to regions conserved among species. Genus specific probes hybridize to sequences within the amplified region conserved among mycobacterial species, whereas the species specific probes hybridize to a variable region, so that the species identity can be uniquely determined. Consensus probes for detecting mycobacteria nucleic acids are provided which probes are not identical to any of the sequences of mycobacterial species.

Abstract: This device contains in a transmitting/receiving unit (1), in addition to the usual transmitter (3) and receiver (4) with associated detection circuit (10), a second receiver (5) which can be reached directly by the radiation emitted by the transmitter (3) and which is associated with a second detection circuit (12). In an initialisation mode in front of a stationary reflector, the operating voltage of the transmitter (3) or the gain of the detection circuits (10, 12) is continuously increased by a control unit (9) until the desired sensitivity is reached. The values of representative voltages at which the two detection circuits (10, 12) trigger are stored in two memories (13, 14). The quotient of these two values is stored in a third memory (16). In an adjustment mode which is carried out at particular time intervals, the control unit (9) also continuously increases the operating voltage of the transmitter (3) or the gain of the detection circuits (10, 12) and determines the value of the representative voltage at which the second detection circuit (12) outputs an output signal. This value is supplied, together with the quotient stored in the third memory (16), to a multiplier (17). The output signal of the latter is representative of a nominal operating voltage of the transmitter (3) or gain of the detection circuits (10, 12), the adjustment of which is finally handled by the microprocessor (9).

Abstract: A rotor flap apparatus is attached to the trailing edge of a wing of a craft. The rotor flap apparatus includes a rotatable rotor mounted on an attachment arm, which is pivotally mounted on a trailing edge of the wing. The attachment arm can be raised or lowered to move the plane of the rotor up or down to vary the lift and thrust characteristics of the wing, to prevent stall and also to allow very low speed take off and landing. In one embodiment, propellers are provided at the leading edge of the wing, in conjunction with the rotor flap apparatus, to provide a system which allows vertical take off and landing of the aircraft. Other embodiments include wings with rotor flap apparatus attached to land craft and underwater craft as well.
