Patent FI-871937-A (FI)
Inventor: VELLINGA SJOERD HUBERTUS JOZEF
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 1987-04-30
Abstract: To avoid considerable vertical and horizontal flows in the settler formed by gas collection hoods, of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (U.A.S.B.) reactor, each gas collection hood (3) debouches at one or two ends into a gas collection chamber (8) via one or more openings (19), the upper boundary of said openings being situated below the inside surface of the projection or the top of the hood (3) concerned. The gas collection hoods are situated immediately below the level of the effluent discharge and the depth of the settler is shallow. As a result of the decrease in pressure only a few gas bubbles are consequently liberated and the settling of the sludge is not appreciably disturbed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for damping the oscillation of the load 3 of a crane during travel motion of the trolley 1 whenever the trolley is controlled by means of a control signal controlling the travel motor, in which process the length of the lifting cable 2 is determined, from which the swing time for the oscillation of the load 3 is calculated. According to the invention, for each point in time the instantaneous total oscillation θ pertaining at each point in time and provoked by earlier control measures is determined from the pendulum equation of the load by taking the length of the lifting cable 2 and the changes in acceleration of the trolley provoked by earlier control signals, and upon the introduction of brake commands for the travel motion, a compensating control signal, which eliminates the ongoing total oscillation θ, and a speed-changing brake signal, by means of which the motor is controlled, are formulated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for dividing the signalling and voice present in a signal flow in a telephone system which contains analog mobile telecommunication, where the signalling and voice are transferred on the same traffic channel. The method comprises the way of arranging the signalling in branches which are part of the signal flow that is transferred from a mobile telecommunication station to an exchange for mobile telecommunications, for evaluating the acoustic noise during the transmission, for monitoring the signal flow by means of a mobile telephone exchange modem for detecting the branches which contain signalling bit sequences, for dividing the signal flow during the transfer of the signal flow into a signalling component and a voice component based on said modem-mediated monitoring, and for generating deliberate noise based on said monitoring for the regions removed from the signal flow in order to fill in the regions of the voice component that were removed from the signal flow during the dividing. The invention further involves a mobile telephone exchange. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1,182,072. Vacuum furnaces; cooling furnace charges. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 7 Jan., 1969 [8 Jan., 1968], No. 1064/68. Heading F4B. A method of cooling the hot zone 5 of a vacuum furnace and the materials located therein, comprises introducing into the furnace one or more of the inert gases, preferably argon, after the said material has been heated as necessary, then cooling the upper wall of the furnace above the heating zone with liquid nitrogen, collecting the liquefied drops 9 of argon so formed in a stainless-steel funnel 10 and delivering the same into the interior of the said hot zone 5. On entering the zone 5, the liquefied argon evaporates, the latent heat of vaporization of the argon being employed in accelerating the cooling of the hot zone. As commercially available argon contains impurities in the form of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water, a finepored stainless-steel filter is incorporated in the funnel 10 to collect any additional solidified materials formed by the action of the heatexchanger.

[Class 47 (ii)] An apparatus for making foam comprises a mixing chamber 1 into which water under pressure from a pipe 2 is sprayed by a sprayer 3, such as a coarse-pitched screw thread, which imparts a rotary or swirling motion to the water stream and results in an increased pressure as the stream enters the chamber. A vessel 4 containing a foaming agent in liquid or powdered form is connected to the chamber 1 by pipes 5, 6, of which the pipe 6 extends into the space above the agent, so that the pressure in the mixing chamber serves to force out the agent. A gas intake 9 with a check valve 10 is connected to a source of compressed gas, preferably to the exhaust pipe of a motor. The exhaust gases may be additionally compressed, and the quantity of gas admitted is controlled by a valve. At the discharge end of the mixing chamber, a mixing member is provided comprising fixed pins 17 and rotary pins 16 driven by a propeller 15 or other means. Alternatively, a mixing member comprising wire nettings may be provided. In a modification, the pipe 6 may be connected to the source of compressed gas, or the gas and the water may enter the mixing chamber through the same inlet.
