Abstract: A process for the continuous coagulation and drying of rubber latex includes feeding the latex onto an endless conveyor belt (8) which feeds the latex through a coagulator (10). A combination of microwave energy and hot air raises the temperature of the latex causing it to coagulate in a coagulation time of less than five minutes. The coagulated rubber from the coagulator (10) is fed onto a conveyor belt (14) of a stretch unit (12) which stretches the rubber by increasing its speed of travel. The stretched rubber is then conveyed onto the upper belt (18) of a drying unit (16). The drying rubber is passed from the upper belt (18) onto an intermediate belt (20) and then on to a lower belt (22) before leaving the drying unit (16). A combination of microwave energy and hot air in the drying unit (16) is used to dry the rubber to a moisture content of less than 1.5%. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ultraviolet area sterilizer (UVAS) is mobile or stationary. The UVAS is positioned in a room, such an operating room or intensive care unit. Motion detectors sense movement, to assure that personnel have evacuated the space to be sterilized. Subsequently, UV-C generators, such as a bank of mercury bulbs, generate intense levels of UV-C. An array of multiple UV-C sensors scans the room, and determines the darkest area, or the area reflecting the lowest level of UV-C back to the sensors. A Microcontroller contained in the device calculates the time required to obtain a bactericidal dose of UV-C reflected back from darkest area. Once a bactericidal dose has been reflected to all the sensors, the unit notifies the operator and shuts down. By relying on reflected doses rather than direct exposure, the UVAS is able to sterilize or sanitize all surfaces within the room that are within view of an exposed wall or ceiling.

Abstract: A bladder which is particularly useful for a sole assembly of a shoe is formed of multiple layers of barrier film to provide multiple pressurized layers of cushioning fluid or gas when the bladder is filled. A multiple gas layer bladder enhances cushioning response by relying more on the response characteristics of the gas and reducing the amount of foam and the dependence on foam as a cushioning material. The internal film layers provide a truss-like geometry in cross section and act as tensile members to impart a generally smooth surface contour to the bladder. The bladder is constructed to provide complex regionalized cushioning profiles which are coupled to the anatomy of the foot and expected loads at known points.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the physicochemical treatment of fluid media. The aim of the method is to modify the surface tension and the viscosity of the fluid, to mechanically reduce and eliminate organic and/or inorganic substances, micro-organisms, such as for example microbes, bacteria, fungi or algae and to chemically oxidise or reduce substances and material compounds entrained by the fluids. According to said method, energy is supplied to the fluid that is to be treated as follows: at least two volumetric flows of the fluid are guided at high speed, so that their surfaces intermingle or collide with one another in the form of a translational and/or rotational motion at a different speed, if the flows originate from the same direction, or at a selectable speed, or optionally an identical speed, if the flows originate from opposite directions. The flows are guided in such a way that considerable friction is produced between the two layers of flow, in addition to extreme centrifugal forces in the individual volumetric flows. The inventive device carries out the inventive method in a manner which is rapid, cost-effective, space-saving and environmentally friendly.
