Patent EP-0460499-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OECHSLE DIETMAR DR DIPL-CHEM
IPC: B01D37/02
Filed: 1991-05-28
Abstract: A method for the filtration of beverages and other liquids is described. In known methods, kieselguhrs, perlites, cellulose fibres, etc., are used as filter aids which must be discarded. This results in considerable environmental problems. According to the invention, the filter-active structure of the filter aids used is retained so that these can be reused as often as is desired. According to the invention, a mixture of filter aids of different morphological and physical components is used, which mixture is composed of at least two constituents, namely a component composed of specifically heavy, chemically resistant metal particles and/or metal oxide particles and/or carbon particles of fibrous and/or granular structure and a further component building up the filter cake, and enlarging its volume, composed of artificial fibres and/or cellulose fibres having a fibre length of 1 to 5,000  mu m and a fibre thickness of 0.5 to 100  mu m. To increase the sharpness of filtration of the filter cake composed of the abovementioned constituents, a further component can be added to this cake, which component is composed of fibrillated or fanned out artificial fibres and/or cellulose fibres, which preferably have a fibre length of 500 to 5,000  mu m and a fibre thickness of 0.5 to 20  mu m. The components are intensively mixed to give a homogeneous mixture and are metered into the beverage to be filtered.

Abstract: A method is described for treating waste such as refuse, special waste, contaminated soils, sewage sludge, landfill sludge, filter dust, fly ash and the like, in which the optionally comminuted and/or graded waste is treated in a sealed container in boiling water with steam and the steam saturated with steam-volatile organic substances is condensed. Preferably, the waste is continuously passed through the boiling water by means of conveyor equipment and thus freed from toxic and/or non-decomposable and/or non-biodegradable and/or odour pollution-causing organic pollutants immiscible with water.

Abstract: Among a plurality of data items stored in a memory (10), at least one specified data item (10) alone is enabled to be updated. Accordingly, any data item other than the specified one is securely prevented from being updated. Therefore, when a data item other than those that do not need updating is specified as the data item for updating, there is no possibility of accidentally updating the data items that do not need updating. A memory stores data sets each having a plurality of data items each of which includes one or more fixed-length data items. The fixed-length data items have any one of two or more predetermined values, and can hold so-called switch type information. The operator can set one of the fixed-length data items to any one of the two or more predetermined values.

Abstract: In apparatus for recording information and/or reproducing information by irradiating a light beam to a disk shaped optical recording medium, there are provided an adjusting mechanism for adjusting an irradiation state of the light beam to the recording medium, a detector (1) for detecting an irradiation sate error signal of the light beam transmitted or reflected from the recording medium to the recording medium. Further, there are provided a feedback circuit, a storing device and providing circuit. In the feedback circuit, the irradiation state error signal obtained by the detector is sampled at a predetermined rate to generate a control signal for the adjusting mechanism by use of the sampled irradiation state error signal, and the control signal is fed back to the adjusting mechanism. The sampling of the irradiation state error signal is effected at a different rate from that in the detector and the sampled irradiation state error signal is stored in the storing device. The irradiation state error signal stored in the device is input to the feedback circuit by the providing circuit.

Abstract: A local area network station (12) includes a transceiver (20) adapted to transmit and receive signals over a wireless communications link. The transceiver (20) is coupled to a CSMA/CD LAN controller device (22) and to a signal generator circuit (40) which is also coupled to the LAN controller device (22). If the station (12) desires to transmit a data frame but a carrier sense signal (CRS) indicates that the link is busy, transmission of the data frame is deferred, and after the carrier sense signal (CRS) becomes inactive, a collision is simulated by the signal generator circuit (40) providing a CDT signal to the LAN controller device (22) which goes into a backoff mode and attempts to retransmit the frame after a random backoff time. Thus, commercially available CSMA/CD chips can be utilized in a single wireless channel LAN environment using a CSMA/CA protocol, with a low risk of collisions.

Abstract: A record storage format conversion method and a system which is capable of mitigating a load imposed on the memory by decreasing the number of accesses to the memory for finding out a CKD record of concern upon format conversion of the CKD records into FBA records while allowing the capacity of a memory required for holding the track data to be decreased. All gaps inclusive of inter-record gaps and inter-field gaps are deleted from variable length records of one track recorded in a variable length format employed in an external storage device of a general-purpose computer. The track data thus obtained is divided into management units each of a predetermined size corresponding to an integral multiple of the size of the fixed length block of the fixed length record. Position information indicating the positions of all the variable length records included in the management unit as well as position information indicating relative positions of the variable length records from the start of the track in the variable length format are written, whereon the management unit is divided into fixed length record blocks each having a predetermined fixed block size for storage thereof. Each CKD record holds information indicating the relative position thereof from the start of the track of the CKD format.
