Abstract: A waste water treatment system has the raw waste water feed (13) into a collecting tank (12) from where a vertical screw feed (5) lifts the solids and water. The water drains off through the enclosing cylindrical mesh leaving the solids to be compacted before being discharged down a chute (29) into a collecting container (30). A drainage duct (28) from the compactor returns residual water into the sump (24). The sump collects all the drained water and has a drainage pump (25) which pumps the separated water to the next processing stage. The screw feed also provides an automatic cleaning of the sieve.

Abstract: A test point analyzing apparatus performs distinction between capability and incapability of insertion of a test point and a circuit modifying way when a test point is capable of being inserted for each of the test point types to each of the signal lines in a semiconductor integrated circuit by using circuit information (122), a test point insertion library (123) specifying sets of a test point type capable of being inserted and a circuit modifying way, and test point insertion prohibiting information (124) specifying sets of a signal line and a test point type for which it is prohibited to insert a test point. Then, test point indexes to test point candidates capable of being inserted are calculated, and test point candidates having a large testability are selected based on the indexes, and the selected test point candidates are registered in test point information (127). The above-mentioned processing is repeated until a predetermined condition of completing the test point analysis process. Furthermore, in the apparatus, a test point index calculation portion (112) calculates test point index information (126) including CRF (Cost Reduction Factor ) of each signal line from circuit information, determines a predetermined number of test point candidates in order of the CRF, and calculates COP (Controllability Observability Procedure, hereinafter referred to as test cost) when each of the test point candidates is assumed to be inserted. By setting candidates of the minimum COP as test points, a test point determining portion (113) searches the other test point candidates not intersecting with an effect region of the test points in increasing order, and if there exists a test point candidate not intersecting with an effect region, the test point is added to a new test point group.

Abstract: The temperature regulation takes measurements (11,12) of water temperature at the inlet and at the outlet of the area (3) of pipe exposed to the flame (7). The temperature measurements are delivered to a controller (10). The burner has its fuel supply controlled by a valve (5) which can adjust the fuel flow and can cut off the fuel supply to the burner. The valve is controlled by a solenoid (9), which is in turn controlled by the controller that receives the temperature data. The controller can cause the burner to operate with continuous control or in chopped mode, which is invoked at low power levels where flame would be unstable.

Abstract: A current detector and metering circuit is provided for a dielectrokinesis detecting device. This device is particularly useful in the areas of locating obscured entities, such as human beings, animals, materials, or controlled substances. A current detector is attached to an antenna and detects when subtle changes in the dielectrokinesis occurs within an detection environment. The present current detector automatically zeros itself to ambient electric field values and then has a heightened sensitivity for changes in that electrical field caused by changes in the dielectrokinesis. The present invention can be used for detection of hidden entities or substance, for motion detection, for medical diagnostic detection, and other uses.

Abstract: An injection-molding unit having an injection motor to activate an electromechanical injection unit for axial movement of the feed screw. An electromechanical rotary motor is provided to turn the feed screw independently of the axial movement. The rotary motor and the injection motor work via a first drive element and a drive element coaxial to the first drive element to make the feed screw move. To transmit the axial movement to the feed screw by linear movement of the injection unit, there is an axial bearing element directly between the first drive element and the other drive element. The axial bearing element is a force-transmission element, but at the same time allows the drive elements to rotate independently of one another and, if necessary, at the same time. This is a simple way of permitting compact coupling of the drive elements for dosing and injection on an injection-molding unit.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la production ou le traitement de composants semi-conducteurs ou autres composants solides et permet la nanostructuration directe de couches de carbone amorphes. Une réaction locale à induction de champ du carbone est activée par une sonde électriquement conductrice ou semi-conductrice située à une distance permettant au mécanisme de conduction électrique de l'émission par effet de champ ou de tunnel de se produire au-dessus de la couche de carbone amorphe ou de passer au-dessus de cette couche. Une tension électrique est appliquée à cette sonde en face de la couche aux endroits où des creux sont pratiqués dans la couche ou bien où la couche doit être enlevée. La structure souhaitée est obtenue sans autre étape technologique. Ce procédé s'applique avantageusement dans la production de composants électroniques dans les domaines des sous-νm et nm où il est particulièrement utile pour la production de masques de gravure nanostructurés dont les structures sont transmises aux couches sous-jacentes. Ce procédé peut également être avantageusement utilisé pour entrer des informations dans les couches de carbone aux fins de mémorisation d'informations.
