Title: Production of pelletised animal fodder
Inventor: PATTON ROBERT HENRY
IPC: A23K1/00
Filed: 1990-06-22
Abstract: In a method of producing pelletised animal fodder preset amounts of dry, ground ingredient materials and liquid fat are mixed together. After conditioning the mixture with steam, the mixture is formed into pellets for example by delivering the mixture through two pelletising machines arranged in series. Then the exterior of the pellets is coated with a predetermined amount of additional fat, the weight of the additional fat coating being regulated by controlling the volume of fat delivered through a flowmeter. Means may be provided for calibrating the flowmeter by weighing a sample volume of fat delivered through the flowmeter.

Title: Safety switch mat
Inventor: PEACHEY CYRIL JOHN
IPC: H01H3/14
Filed: 1990-09-08
Abstract: A safety switch mat for use in conjunction with dangerous machinery comprises a plurality of small interlocking tiles. Each tile comprises a metal tray 1 which houses a flat layer switch formed by two stainless steel sheets 2 separated by insulation 3 and a plastic cover 4 which is flexibly secured at 6 to the tray. The tiles are 0.05-0.15 square metres in size and interlock by means of projections 12 and slots 13 on the covers 4. Foot pressure on any part of a tile will operate the switch, thus a mat comprising a number of tiles all connected together electrically by plugs and sockets 11 will have uniform sensitivity and no 'dead' areas, since the interlocking means ensures that pressure on one tile will also cause the switch to operate in an adjacent tile. By means of the tiles mats of various shapes and sizes can be made up easily, used on uneven floors and be provided with rigid metal or timber tops 7 and waterproofed switches. <IMAGE>

Title: A method of growing III-V compound semiconductor material on a substrate
Inventor: FOXON CHARLES THOMAS
IPC: C30B25/14
Filed: 1990-09-12
Abstract: A substrate is placed in a low-pressure environment and a gallium or indium containing or indium-containing first stream formed from a gaseous source and at least one further stream containing a group V element are directed towards the substrate to cause growth of a III-V compound semiconductor material on the substrate. The method is characterised by forming the first stream a gaseous from a carbon-free source selected from gallium chloride, gallium fluoride, gallium bromide, indium chloride, indium fluoride and indium bromide so as to reduce carbon contamination of the III-V compound semiconductor material being grown on the substrate. The substrate is preferably placed in an environment of such a low pressure that the streams form molecular beams directed towards the substrate. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of manufacturing an endless tape
Inventor: MATSUYAMA MASAYOSHI
IPC: G11B23/06
Filed: 1991-04-02
Abstract: A length of tape is drawn off a reel 3 passed over the cutting/connecting section of a splicer, passed through a temporary storage vessel 4 and looped back so as to pass over the cutting/connecting section again. Tape clamps (5b, 5c) hold the two layers of tape on the cutting/connecting section which are then cut. One of the tape clamps (5b) is withdrawn with cut top tape section while an applicator 5d applies a piece of adhesive tape in a manner which splices a continuous loop of tape. To remove a superfluous portion of the tape from the continuous loop (section between 1c and 1d), the loop is moved to a position wherein one end of the superfluous length is located over the cutting/connecting section. The tape is clamped and cut. One of the two tape clamps 5c when lifts the now open end of the loop clear and the superfluous portion is spliced to the tape on a supply reel 3. The reel is rotated in manner which winds the superfluous length thereonto until the other end of the superfluous length is drawn to the cutting/connecting section. The tape is clamped and cut and the ends of the loop spiced to form an endless tape essentially free of superfluous length. <IMAGE>

Title: Recovery of gold and silver from complex refractory sulphide ores by cyanidisation and oxidation with peroxides
Inventor: SMITH TREVOR JOHN
IPC: C22B3/14
Filed: 1991-10-22
Abstract: The recovery of noble metals by sodium cyanide leaching from complex refractory gold and silver bearing ores containing such complex silver sulphides as polybasite, pearcite, pyrargyrite, tetrahedrite and argentite presents difficulties in that the precious metal is trapped inside the refractory matrix of the mineral. Pretreatments such as roasting, acid pressure leaching and biological leaching are capital intensive and to obviate this disadvantage, the use of an alkali/alkaline earth metal peroxide is applied as an additive, in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 kg/t. Preference is for calcium peroxide, which is more stable, consumes less cyanide, is simple to use and monitor, and enhances the process and recovery by improvement in leach kinetics.
