Abstract: A pig (2) is moved through the pipeline (1) to be renewed, the breaking-up device (4) of said pig exerting radial forces, acting from the outside in, on the pipeline. Said forces are generated by correspondingly shaped breaking-up cutters (8, 9). The breaking-up process is assisted by pulling elements (7) which are in the form of bars and connect the breaking-up device (4) to a front guide portion (3) of the pig. The pipeline pieces (10) pass into the interior of the new pipe (6), which is drawn in by the pig, and are transported away through said new pipe, to be precise under the simultaneous action of a transporting fluid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cutting roller (31) having cutting blades (33) and a receiving roller (32) are provided downstream of pulling-out rollers (21) for pulling out a web (2), and the web passing between them is cut. Accelerating rollers (51) rotated at a transmitting speed higher than that of the pulling-out rollers (21) apply a tension to the web. The cutting blades (33) are formed with narrow cutouts (35), and the receiving roller (32) is provided with narrow annular grooves (37). Stretched tension guide members (12) extend through the notches (35) and the narrow annular grooves (37) so as to guide the web. The portions of the web corresponding to the notches (35) and the narrow annular grooves (37) are not cut by the cutting blades (33) and are left as uncut portions. However, these portions are broken easily by the tension applied to the web (2). Since the widths of the cutouts (35) and the annular grooves (37) are very narrow, the torn marks on the broken portions of the web are not remarkable. As the tension guide members (12) extend continuously, the cut end of the web is not caught and are not rolled on the cutting roller (31).

Abstract: A method for recovering volatile components from reformer effluent condensate and fusel oil in a methanol plant is disclosed. The fusel oil is stripped with steam to produce an overhead vapor stream of steam and stripped organic components which is recycled to the feed to the reformer. Also disclosed are a methanol plant with a fusel oil stripper; and a unitized stripper column for treating fusel oil and process condensate wherein steam containing volatile gases stripped from the process condensate is used to strip the fusel oil. The present invention improves yield and reduces or eliminates liquid fusel oil waste by recycling volatile organic components contained in the fusel oil to the feed of the reformer.

Abstract: An image printer includes a projection exposure unit for projecting and exposing an image of a film onto a photosensitive material, an image exposure unit for exposing the photosensitive material based on exposure image information with setting an exposure amount for each of a number of areas of the photosensitive material, a transport device for transporting the photosensitive material through the projection exposure unit and the image exposure unit, a reader device for reading the image information of the film with dividing the image information into a number of areas, and a correction information inputting device for inputting a correction-target portion of the image information read by the reader device and a correction content for the correction-target portion. Based on the image information read by the reader device and on correction information instructed by the correction information inputting means, the image exposure unit generates, as the exposure image information, image information concerning only the correction-target portion corrected in accordance with the correction content. The transport device transports the photosensitive material in such a manner that the projection exposure by the projection exposure unit and the exposure by the image exposure unit are effected in an overlapping manner onto the photosensitive material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clutch disc for a motor-vehicle friction clutch comprising a hub (2) concentric with an axis of rotation and having a hub disc (3), a lining carrier (4) arranged on one side and having friction linings, a cover plate (6) which is arranged on the other side and is connected rigidly in terms of rotation to the lining carrier, helical springs (8) for the load range, which are arranged, on the one hand, in apertures (9) in the hub disc and, on the other hand, on the lining carrier and the cover plate and rest by one end on control edges (21) of the apertures of the lining carrier and the cover plate and by the other end, in contrast, on stop lugs (28) of load active friction discs (26, 27) which are arranged on both sides of the hub disc and of which at least one has webs (51) for receiving stop lugs on an annular main body (50). The aim is to construct a clutch disc of this kind with load active friction discs in such a way that even when the stop lug is in an unfavourable position relative to an associated control edge, the stresses which are produced by a torque introduced by the forces applied can be kept within limits. For this purpose, the stop lug is formed integrally both with the web and with a brace (56) aligned at an angle to the latter and is provided in the region of engagement of the spring with an increase (57) in cross-section which can be elastically deformed when force is introduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical isolator (10) comprises a non-reciprocal rotator (12) disposed between a pair birefringent wedges, an input wedge (14) and an output wedge (16). In order to reduce walk-off between the ordinary and extraordinary rays at the output of the isolator in one embodiment, the input signal (11') is made incident on the input wedge at an angle (ϑ c ) above the normal to wedge. At a particular angle related to various parameters of the isolator the relative walk-off can be reduced to essentially zero. In another embodiment, the input angle and various isolator parameters are mutually adapted so that the ordinary and extraordinary rays intersect within the isolator.

Abstract: The tube (10) has one or more external fin convolutions (21) extending from its external surface (12). At intervals along each side surface of the fin convolutions (21) there are shoulder notches (41) extending from the fin side surfaces. The groove space (31) between adjacent fin convolutions (21) has raised teeth (32) located circumferentially at intervals. The fin convolutions (21) do not extend perpendicularly from the tube (10) surface but are inclined, with one convolution overlying an adjacent groove (31) but not touching its adjacent neighbor fin convolution to form a re-entrant boiling cavity with an opening gap (G). In one embodiment, the opening gap (G) extends completely around the circumference of the tube (10). In another embodiment, the curved fin convolutions (21) are depressed at intervals around the circumference of the tube (10) so that a fin convolution is in close proximity to its adjacent neighbor closing the gap (G) in the vicinity of the depression. The tube (10) is for use in a heat exchanger where heat is transferred between a fluid flowing through the tube (10) and a fluid flowing around the exterior of the tube (10) and where the fluid external to the tube (10) boils during the heat exchange process.

Abstract: The invention concerns a biological method for the purification of waste water contaminated with organic carbon and nitrogen compounds, the nitrogen compounds being first nitrified in an aerobic-treatment stage (1) and then denitrified in an anaerobic treatment stage (2), preferably to molecular nitrogen. The invention proposes that at least a part of the carbon compounds is separated from the waste water [e.g. by adsorption (3)] before it enters the aerobic-treatment stage and at least a part of the separated carbon compounds (4) is added back to the waste water to be treated anaerobically in the second stage. The method proposed enables optimum conditions to be established for the microorganisms present in each of the two stages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the laser-microscopic enlargement of objects and a device for implementing the process. It is possible with the process to examine especially organic, elastic or insulating objects into the nanometre range and their surface structures contactlessly and without preparation and to process the optical signals generated with little technical complexity. To this end the samples are irradiated by a laser beam enlarged by means of enlarging optics (3) to a large beam diameter and then focussed down to the smallest possible beam diameter using a short-focus focussing lens (5), so that the object can be raster-scanned. The intensity of light reflections and scattered radiation (6) is detected over a very large spatial angle, preferably on the inner surface of one or two hemispherical bowls with direct or indirect photosensors. Optical fibres may be used as light sensors.
