Patent EP-0573315-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHWARTZ JR FRANK R
IPC: C01B31/08
Filed: 1993-04-13
Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for the manufacture of activated carbon wherein a carbonaceous raw material impregnated with a chemical activating agent is treated by controlling the rate of heat transfer to the particles via indirect heating of the activation furnace and simultaneously introducing a flow of independently controlled sweep gas at spaced intervals along the path of travel of the particles through the furnace to more precisely control the activation reaction and the level of densification of the particles during certain stages of treatment. In a more preferred embodiment, the particles are processed in a plurality of treatment stages related to the rate of evolution of water and/or the evolution of water and the chemical activating agent and the rates of heat transfer and the volume flow rate of sweep gas are closely controlled relative to achieving predetermined levels of densification of the particles during each treatment stage and selected levels of activation properties in the end product.

Abstract: A device for locking and unlocking a two-wing door, with sliding striker plate (120), lock (110), and anchoring rod (170) comprises a motorised actuator (150) urging a transmission element (140) connected to the striker plate and to the rod. A first displacement of the element (140) gives rise to the lifting of the rod and the retraction of the striker plate for unlocking. An opposite displacement has the reverse effect. According to the invention, the actuator is a single-acting actuator (150) in order to carry out unlocking alone. A means forming a movable pawl (160) is securely fixed to the moving wing (B1) for selectively immobilising the element (140) in its unlocked position or releasing it so that it returns, without intervention from the actuator, to its locked position, depending on whether the moving wing (B1) is open or whether both wings (B1, B2) are closed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Off-resonance magnetisation transfer RF-pulses (54, 64) are used in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to suppress the signal of various tissues, such as brain tissue. Often, the signal of blood is also suppressed. Application of a magnetic gradient (55, 65, 85) during the magnetisation transfer RF-pulse (54, 64) increases the magnetisation frequency offset (86) in one direction and decrease the offset in the opposite direction. This results in a smaller signal reduction of the blood flowing from the one direction and a saturation of the blood flowing from the other direction. Both time and RF-power needed for a separate presaturation pulse can now be used for the magnetisation transfer RF-pulse.
