Abstract: A screening apparatus for separating fiber suspensions, preferably pulp suspensions, comprising a screen housing (1), centrally located in the screen housing (1), a stator (8) enclosed in a screen means (7). The screen means is rotary and divides the screen housing (1) into a screen chamber (9) between the screen housing (1) and screen means (7) and an accept chamber (10) between the screen means (7) and stator (8). On the stator (8), wings are located for creating suction pulses. The screening apparatus comprises further inlet (4) for the fiber suspension to the screen chamber (9), reject outlet (6) for reject from the screen chamber (9), and accept outlet (5) for accept from the accept chamber (10). In such a screening apparatus, problems arise by thickening and plugging. The invention solves these problems in that on the stator (8) at least one barrier/pulse element (12) is located which extends in axial direction along the entire stator (8) and is tightly attached to the stator (8) and extends from the stator (8) out to the screen means (7), so that accept substantially is prevented from tangentially passing the barrier/pulse element (12).

Abstract: Process and device for depositing, by electron cyclotron resonance plasma, a web of carbon nanofibres or nanotubes, on a substrate without a catalyst, by injection of a microwave power into a deposition chamber including a magnetic structure with a highly unbalanced magnetic mirror and at least one electron cyclotron resonance zone within the interior of the deposition chamber itself and opposite the substrate. Under a pressure of less than 10<-4 >mbar, ionization and/or dissociation of a gas containing carbon is induced in the magnetic mirror in the center of the deposition chamber, thus producing species that deposit on the substrate, which is heated. A resulting film, which may be on a substrate, can be formed from a web or a network of interconnected carbon nanofibres or nanotubes, like a spider's web, the film being exempt of a catalyst and a structure of several layers-a multi-layer structure-including at least two layers of a web of carbon nanofibres or nanotubes, as well as filters, electron accelerating or decelerating nanogrids and flat screens including such films or structures.

Abstract: A novel solution for changing sweeps or knives on a cultivator or other soil working tool is the subject matter of the present invention. In today's farming world, where labor is at a premium and time is of the essence, a sole operator or farmer in preparing the fields for planting, summer fallow or other operations will sometimes need to change the sweeps or knives which till the ground several times for different crops or operations. The novel invention herein provides for an apparatus for quickly removing the sweeps (2) on cultivator shanks and replacing them with other soil openers of different width or configuration. A simple press button (7) releases the sweep (2) from an adapter bolted to a standard cultivator shank. The present invention eliminates the problem of sweeps falling off shanks due to lack of friction or difficulty in removing sweeps because of over friction.

Abstract: The system has a multi-antenna system with and a receiver with inputs for two reception signal paths. The signals are summed with phase equality and the summation signal frequency demodulated. A controlable logic switch feeds different received signals to at least one of the two receiver inputs in diversity fashion. A summation signal is fed to a noise detector. The logic switch switches to a different setting if received signal noise is detected. The system has a multi-antenna system (21) with at least two antenna output signals and a receiver (4) with inputs for two reception signal paths, the second containing a phase rotation device (34) controled by a phase regulator and whose output has the same phase as in the first path. The signals are summed with phase equality and the summation signal frequency demodulated. A controlable logic switch (11) is used to feed different received signals to at least one of the two receiver inputs in diversity fashion and the summation signal (37) is fed to a noise detector (18) for external rapid detection of a summation signal distorted by frequency noise. The logic switch is switched to a different setting if received signal noise is detected. The phase control device has low pass characteristics for limiting the phase control rate.

Abstract: Oxygen-containing gas comprising no more than about 50 mol % oxygen is fed (150) to an auxiliary separation column (40) in a multiple column cryogenic air distillation system comprising at least a higher pressure ("HP") column (10) and a lower pressure ("LP") column (30) for separation into nitrogen-rich overhead vapour and oxygen-rich liquid. Oxygen-rich liquid is fed (154) from the auxiliary column (40) to an intermediate location in the LP column (30). The auxiliary column (40) is refluxed with a liquid stream from or derived from the HP column (10). One advantage of the invention is that the diameter of the upper sections (II, III) of the LP column (30) need no longer be larger than the diameter of the rest of the column system thereby increasing the capacity of the column system (under the constraint of a defined maximum column section diameter). <IMAGE>
