Abstract: In stop logs for a shut-off device which is used in particular in hydraulic engineering, having an elongated hollow body which is rectangular in cross-section and which has a connection side provided with a groove element and, opposite said connection side, a connection side essentially parallel thereto and provided with a spring element complementary to the groove element as well as two opposite, essentially parallel wall sides which have a plane surface on the outside and end on the connection side in sealing bearing surfaces, and with sealing strips which are arranged on the sealing bearing surfaces of one connection side and of which each has a projecting head strip to which a connection-side recess is allocated in order to accommodate it, the stop logs, in order to obtain adequate tightness of the shut-off device created by placing the stop logs one on top of the other, have to be braced by means of tension bolts so than no water can escape between the plane surface of the sealing strip and the sealing bearing surface resting on this sealing strip. This complicates the assembly and dismantling of the shut-off device. A shut-off device which provides a sound seal and is easy to assemble and dismantle can be produced from stop logs in which the sealing strips (30) are arranged on the sealing bearing surfaces (26) of the connection side (20) provided with the spring element (14) and in each case have at least one sealing lip (34, 36) on the side remote from their sealing bearing surface (26), which sealing lip (34, 36) is inclined to the inside towards the spring element (14), away from the wall side (16) having a plane surface and adjoining the sealing bearing surface (26) of the said sealing lip. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing ice figures as well as a device for this purpose. A device in accordance with invention (901) is provided with at least two cooling bodies (905, 906) facing one another, and these are washed by water inside a container (902). The cooling bodies are cooled to below the freezing point of water by means of a refrigeration compressor (904) using coolant so that ice layers (918, 919) form on each cooling body (905, 906), and grow onto one another and then contact one another, so that the two ice layers freeze together, so that a single-piece ice figure is produced, where the completion of the single-piece ice figure is detected for example with a sensor (922). Once the single-piece ice figure is completed it is detached from the cooling bodies (905, 906) and removed. By means of the detection of completion of the single-piece ice figure the whole process can be automated so that a process and also a device for serial production of single-piece ice figures in large runs is made available.

Abstract: In a method of continuously conveying bulk material, this bulk material is fed from a receiving container into a conveying line (4) by means of a conveying medium via a sluice member, preferably designed as a bucket wheel (1), the conveying medium being introduced into the conveying line (4) - in particular in a pulsating manner - via a pneumatic line (13). At least one measuring point is provided in the delivery area (3) of the sluice member (1); the pressure measured there serves as controlled variable, and the throughput of bulk material and/or of conveying medium serves as manipulated variable. Thus the ratio of the throughput of bulk material and conveying medium in the conveying line (4) is kept constant.

Granted: 1994-06-08
Abstract: Cereal flour products are mixed with water and a pitching substance containing microorganisms to form a leaven starter. During the subsequent maturation, the leaven starter undergoes a fermentation process in which, after a lag phase, it passes into an exponential growth phase. To obtain an improved leaven product, a buffering or basic substance is added during the exponential growth phase in order to increase the concentration of revitalizable microorganisms. Measures (cooling or drying) are adopted during the exponential growth phase of the microorganisms with a view to making the product storable.

Abstract: Water softening is achieved by a combination of electrodialysis and calcium carbonate precipitation. The hard feed water or alternatively recycled soft water is rendered alkaline and is then subjected to a treatment by which precipitation of calcium carbonate is induced. One way of bringing about such precipitation consists in passing the alkaline water across a cake of calcium carbonate crystals having a size not exceeding 100 microns, deposited on a filter (43) and being in an at least fifty fold excess over the amount of calcium carbonate to be precipitated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite material from a metallic matrix material and reinforcing staple fibres and to a process for producing the same. The composite material consists of a brittle intermetallic compound which consists of at least one ductile and low-melting component and at least one component from the elements Al, Ni, Co, Nb or Fa, and of staple fibres which are arranged in the matrix material so as to be at a distance from each other on all sides. The production involves, in the first instance, employing a powder mix which contains the elemental components of the intermetallic compound to produce a composite material green body with the reinforcing staple fibres. This composite material green body is machined until its shape is close to that of the sand mould corresponding to the component and is then reaction-sintered to form the intermetallic compound.

Abstract: An indwelling ureteral stent positioning apparatus (10) is provided for allowing single intrusion placement of a stent (20) in the ureter of a patient. The apparatus is pre-assembled and includes a wire guide (12) with floppy tip (14). The stent (20) is positioned about the wire guide (12) adjacent to the floppy tip (14) of the wire guide (12), and is adjustably situated on the wire guide (12) to expose a pre-determined length of the floppy tip (14) for insertion into the patient. The stent (20) is a dual open-ended tubular stent having a resilient retentive curved circular or pigtail shape at each end for retention in the kidney and bladder. A positioner (25) is conveyed on the wire stent until the end of the positioner abuts the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20). A pin-vise clamp (30) abuts the external end of the positioner (25) and releasably engages the wire guide (12) to stabilize the apparatus (10) during insertion. When used to position the stent (20) within the ureter, the apparatus (10) is conveyed along the ureter until the floppy tip (14) is within the renal collecting system. The positioner (25) is advanced along the wire guide (12) to push the anatomically proximal end (23) of the stent (20) over and beyond the floppy tip (14) so that the retentive coil forms within the kidney. The pin-vise clamp (30) is released to allow the wire guide (12) to be withdrawn until it passes the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20), wherein the retentive coil shape is formed within the bladder. With the stent fully indwelling, the positioner (25) and wire guide (12) are removed from the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour le séchage de combustibles solides à teneur aqueuse, en particulier le lignite brut, dans un récipient de séchage d'une installation de production de chaleur. L'invention a pour objectif de parvenir à une réduction sensible des émissions de CO2 par unité de rendement utile par une diminution de l'utilisation de porteurs d'énergie fossiles, les installations de séchage du lignite brut étant reliées à l'installation de production de chaleur de telle manière qu'on obtienne une utilisation énergétique totale des fumées. Cet objectif est atteint, dans le cadre de l'invention, par le fait que le récipient de séchage est chauffé directement par la chaudière de l'installatin de production de vapeur, au moyen d'un propre circuit de vapeur saturée, que les fumées dépoussiérées et placées sous une pression moyenne sont déposées sur un rail de distribution de chaleur et que le condensat des fumées est employé, après sa préparation chimique, pour l'alimentation d'une centrale de chauffage et/ou d'un circuit de chauffage.
