Abstract: Described are preferred processes for recovering citric acid from a medium in which it is contained. The citric acid is recovered both effectively and in a form which is readily purifiable. In one preferred process, the citric acid-containing medium is contacted with a solid-phase free base resin having tertiary amine groups to adsorb the citric acid. The citric acid is then desorbed by displacement with a stronger acid, and a citric acid-containing fraction is collected substantially free from contamination by the stronger acid. In another preferred process, a citric acid-containing medium is contacted with a solid-phase polymer having pyridine functions to adsorb citric acid, the contacting being at a temperature below about 40  DEG C. Adsorbed citric acid is then desorbed with hot H2O at a temperature of at least about 75  DEG C. Unnecessary impurities such as those arising from the use of organic solvent or throughput inorganic acid desorbents are thereby avoided while at the same time achieving a commercially attractive recovery of the citric acid. Additional preferred modes and process features are also described.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the water level at the bottom of a storage tank, the water level being the product-water interface between product and water within the storage tank. The apparatus includes a sensor assembly which is located at the tank bottom. The assembly has a plurality of measurement sensors arranged in a housing having slots for product and water to enter and leave the housing. Each measurement sensor is an open-circuited co-axial transmission line with a probe at its open end which functions as a monopole antenna. In preferred embodiments, the transmission lines are quarter wavelength open-circuited coaxial transmission lines. Each probe is located at a different distance from the tank bottom to cover a measurement range. The transmission lines are excited with signals which are reflected by the probes. As the level of the product-water interface changes on the probes, the capacitance of the probes also change which, in turn, change the amplitude or voltage level of the reflected signals. The voltage measurements are converted to level by a microprocessor.

Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer which maintains a database management system. Data packets are sent from the remote units by an RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. A frequency-hopping transmission method is used for the RF link. The remote units and base stations are all synchronized to a repeating pseudo-random sequence of frequencies in a band (902-928 MHz) which allows this type of transmission. The remote hand-held units initiate an exchange using RF transmission to and from the base stations, receiving only during a rigid time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate communication to the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange. The reply messages from the base stations to the remotes contain synchronizing information to maintain coherence with the pseudo-random sequence.

Abstract: Gaming apparatus including a series of rotatable reels having indicia on the peripheries for displaying game results and which are set in motion when the game commences and which stop when the game ends. The gaming apparatus includes a number of computers for controlling the various functions such as the acceptance of a coin inserted into the apparatus, pay out of coins when a game is a winner, the commencement and termination of rotation of the reels, and the determination as to whether a game played is a winning game or a losing game. One of the computers includes a random number generator which generates a first random number that is compared to the hit frequency defined as the probability of a game being a winning game to determine whether the game played is a winner or a loser, and if the game is a losing game, the reels are stopped to display a losing combination. If the game is a winning game, a second random number is generated which is compared to the win probability set to determine the value of the win, and the reels are stopped at positions indicating a winning combination corresponding to the value won.

Abstract: A fluid container draining device for draining fluid from a fluid container, such as an oil filter, in a controlled manner. It has a front threaded screw with a sharpened drill tip. It has an internal channel communicating between an opening at the forward end of the screw and a rear region of the threaded screw. A fluid valve is positioned at the rear region of the screw in fluid connection with the channel. The fluid valve provides fluid flow control between the interior of the fluid container and the outside of the fluid container. The fluid valve has an internally threaded front region which screws into the externally threaded rear region of the screw, and an externally threaded rear region, onto which a fluid evacuation line is to be attached. A turning portion for turning the device into the wall of the container is located on the device. The fluid valve is provided with a fitting for connection to a suction line to thereby permit fluid to be drained from the fluid container when it is coupled with a drain line, and which otherwise remains closed. When the device is drilled into the fluid container, its screw will penetrate the wall of the fluid container and enter the fluid containing region thereof. The fluid valve will only open up when it is connected to a coupler on a suction line, to prevent the accidental release of any of the fluid being drained.
