Patent EP-1232290-B1 (EP)
Inventor: ARROYO J CARLOS
IPC: C22B3/00

Abstract: A process is provided for the leaching of both the "limonite" (Fe approx. >=25% and Mg approx. >=6%) and "saprolite" (Fe approx. <=20% and Mg approx. >=10%) fractions of typical nickel and cobalt bearing laterite ore. The low magnesium fraction of the laterite ore is leached with sulfuric acid at high pressure and temperature to solubilize the metal values while precipitating most of the solubilized iron as hematite or other iron compounds and a portion of the dissolved aluminum as alunite or other aluminum compounds. After reducing the pressure of the leach slurry to approximately atmospheric pressure, the pregnant leach slurry or solution is contacted with the high magnesium fraction of the ore to solubilize most of the nickel contained in the high-magnesium ore fraction while dissolving only a small portion of the iron content of the high magnesium ore fraction. Further neutralization of the leach slurry in the presence of an alkali metal or ammonium ion will allow the precipitation of iron-bearing jarosite at ambient pressure. This process for incorporating the leaching of saprolite in the high pressure leaching process for limonite ores requires neither high temperature and pressure, nor special treatment of the saprolite ore fraction, nor the addition of special reagents, e.g. reducing reagents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control device for controlling machines, especially hydraulic machines, by hand or foot. The inventive device comprises an actuating element ( 1 ), especially a pedal or a control lever, which can be moved in several directions. The aim of the invention is to feel a resisting force when the actuating element ( 1 ) is displaced or adjusted, whereby said force is on the scale of hydraulic forces having a direct effect. The actuating element ( 1 ) engages with a transmitter device ( 3 ) which is not hydraulic or is hydraulically decoupled from the hydraulic system. A damping device ( 6 ) engages with the actuating element ( 1 ). Said damping device defies the movement in at least one direction of motion pertaining to the actuating element ( 1 ) by means of a fluid that is moved by the actuating element ( 1 ).

Abstract: An actuator base (16), bobbin (14), and pole piece (24) form a pocket for an armature (30) that a flexible membrane (40) encloses to form an armature chamber filled with an incompressible fluid. The membrane (40) protects the armature (30) from exposure to corrosive fluids flowing in a conduit (44). Conduit flow can be stopped by driving the membrane (40) against a valve seat (54). Pressure from the controlled fluid in the conduit (40) is transmitted through the membrane to the fluid within the armature chamber so that the armature does not need to counteract force applied to the membrane (40) by the conduit fluid's pressure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A liquid sample analyzer with a flow-through liquid waveguide cell is described. The light source is fiber coupled to a liquid waveguide or light pipe. The light pipe can be remotely located and fiber coupled to the spectrometer so that the light source is thermally isolated making the spectrometer easily thermally stabilized, and the dispersion minimized. The liquid waveguide cell includes a light pipe that has a lower index of refraction than the liquid flowing through the light pipe. Light is input into the liquid waveguide by an optical fiber that is coupled to the liquid waveguide. The optical fiber diameter and the light pipe core diameter and spaceing are selected to provide coupling of all light modes transmitted through the optical fiber into the light pipe. The output light is received by an optical fiber which is arranged to receive all of the light transmitted through the light pipe. The light output from the light pipe is fiber-coupled to the spectrometer with a fiber bundle that is arranged in the form of a slit at the distal end or entrance aperture of the spectrometer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cache memory for operations to a flash memory. A flash memory manager places flash write and flash erase commands into a cache, for subsequent execution by the flash memory. The cache can replace a queue used in conventional flash memory systems. A foreground manager can perform a check for available space in the flash memory, break up the command into appropriate cache entries, and write the entries into the cache. A background manager can subsequently read the entries from cache and execute them to flash memory, deleting each cache entry as it is posted to flash memory. The cache can include multiple sets of tag/data arrays, each dedicated to commands with a particular priority. Relocating most conventional flash management functions from background to foreground can eliminate the possibility of "flash full" responses from the background manager, thus eliminating the need for the background manager to determine whether space will be available for the command when it is executed to flash.
