Abstract: In a method for treating a cyano-containing waste liquid, a thermal decomposition (3) is usually carried out. The resultant organic formate-compound causes an increase in COD and BOD and is difficult to decompose due to the presence of ammonia and salt which are also formed as a result of the thermal decomposition. In the present invention, the thermally decomposed waste (9) liquid is treated (10) with an aerobic bacterium, to which a facutative anaerobe is degenerated and adapted (13).

Abstract: An adjustable seating system for a vehicle, particularly an aircraft, providing means for readily adapting the seating layout in an aircraft cabin to vary passenger density where a plurality of seating units are mounted upon a pair of longitudinal seat rails. Each seating unit incorporates a seat adjustment and locking system comprising a pair of interconnected sprocket wheels (32) arranged to be in driving engagement with a related one of the seat rails (9) so that the seating units can be moved to selected locations without physical separation from the track. Sprocket locking means (44), when engaged, restrains the seat against horizontal movement and reacts induced fore and aft flight loads obviating the need for separate seat rail engaging restraint means.

Abstract: An ultrasonic device (10) for detecting the presence of air in the fluid line of an IV infusion device comprises a transmitter (42) and a receiver (48) which are positioned to pinchingly engage a portion of the fluid line therebetween. Both the transmitter (42) and receiver (48) have convex-shaped lenses (44, 50) which contact and cause a slight indentation of the tube (14) for enhanced coupling therebetween. The device (10) may also have a pair of diametrically opposed pedestals (30, 36) which contact and engage the tube (14) from a direction substantially at right angles to the axis defined by the transmitter (42) and receiver (48). These pedestals (30, 36) help hold the tube (14) between the transmitter (42) and receiver (48). The device (10) also includes self-­testing electronic componentry which compares the transmitter-off output with the transmitter-on output to determine whether operation is normal or should be stopped because either there is air in the line or the electronic circuitry is faulty.

Abstract: A process for the production of lignin in which lignin is precipitated from aqueous solution by acidification and agitation and the precipitated lignin is separated from accompanying liquid in which the lignin-containing solution and the acid are introduced by simultanteous cocurrent flow into an agitated mixing region, the precipitated lignin is separated not more than 60 minutes after precipitation and the separated lignin is subsequently washed. The process can form a step in a general process for the treatment of lignocellulosic materials to produce one or more products including lignin. The process enables the ash content of lignin to be reduced.

Abstract: A truss frame (10) with three-dimensional bracing includes at least three top rails (12) which are joined together so as to define a substantially planar surface. A plurality of bracing members (14) are attached to the top rails (12) and depend toward a bottom connection (16) which has a predetermined location with respect to the top rails (12). The bottom connection (16) location is chosen so that the bracing members (14) form truss-like braces for the top rails (12).

Abstract: Un faisceau d'ions à masse sélectionnée de faible énergie (10 à 300 eV) est utilisé pour déposer de fines pellicules sur des substrats atomiquement propres. Par exemple, on peut utiliser un faisceau d'ions C+ pour déposer une pellicule en diamant chimiquement lié ou en une substance similaire au diamant sur un substrat à la température ambiante. Dans le cas de minces pellicules de carbone, la monocouche initiale de la pellicule déposée a la forme d'une couche en carbure chimiquement lié aux atomes du substrat. La pellicule développe graduellement, couche après couche, une structure diamantine, passant par des structures intermédiaires. La plage optimale d'énergie C+ pour former la structure diamantine se situe entre 30 et 175 eV. Avec moins de 10 eV, on n'atteint pas la structure diamantine définitive, et au-delà de 180 eV, la dose requise pour obtenir cette structure définitive augmente brusquement. On peut utiliser des faisceaux multiples d'ions pour déposer des pellicules à composants multiples, y compris des pellicules dopées avec des concentrations très faibles d'atomes étrangers. Les pellicules en diamant ainsi obtenues sont dépourvues d'impuretés, sont inertes à l'absorption chimique par O2, ont une structure stable jusqu'à 350°C, un faible rendement de pulvérisation et une interface marquée avec la surface du substrat. Elles trouvent des applications comme revêtements protecteurs, isolants et semi-conducteurs dopés.

Abstract: Circuitry for reducing side to side jitter in an ultrasound imaging system using a transducer which is mechanically scanned back and forth to cover the area to be imaged. The circuitry includes a filter circuit (62) for providing a correction signal to be added to the transducer position signal. The filter circuit provides a phase lead proportional to the rate of change of the transducer movement. This signal is scaled by a factor which varies linearly as the depth being imaged changes. The correction signal compensates for delays through the transducer positioning and driver circuitry and for depth dependent delays resulting from the movement of the transducer during the scanning operation.
