Abstract: An optical pickup device includes a light source (1) which emits a laser beam to an optical disk. An objective lens (5) converts the emission beam into a converging beam, the converging beam passing through a transparent layer of the optical disk and forming a light spot on a recording surface of the optical disk. A photodetecting unit (8) generates a read-data signal based on a reflection beam from the optical disk. A beam converting unit converts a reflection beam directed to the photodetecting unit such that the reflection beam is allowed to enter the photodetecting unit when a first optical disk is accessed, and a central portion of the reflection beam is allowed to enter the photodetecting unit and a peripheral portion of the reflection beam is inhibited from entering the photodetecting unit when a second optical disk is accessed.

Title: Reststoffaufspaltungsverfahren zur wiedergewinnung von sekundärrohstoffen
Inventor: FELBER WALTER
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: Bei diesem Verfahren zur Reduzierung bislang unverwerteter Rückstände aus Restmüll, verschmutzten Kunststoffen aus 'Gelber Tonne', Feinrechengut aus Kläranlagen, Altmüll aus Deponien und Sandfangrückstände zur Rückgewinnung von Sekundärrohstoffen und Kreislaufverwendung wird mehrfach hintereinander ein Wechsel von trockenen Sieb-, Abscheide-, Sortier- und Klassiertechniken und nassen derartigen Verfahrensschritten vorgenommen. Die gewonnenen, sauberen Sekundärrohstoffe werden in Schritten vorzugsweise im aeroben Milieu konditioniert und mit Ausnahme Problemstoffen direkt biologischen, werkstofflichen oder rohstofflichen Weiterverwertungen zugeführt. Die Konditionierung der Sekundärrohstoffe erlaubt wegen der Geruchs- und Gärarmut daher auch lange Zwischenlagerung auf Zeit. Die geringen Investitionskosten ermöglichen die Errichtung kleiner Anlagen für regionale Abfallwirtschaften und entsprechen trotzdem strengen Wirtschaftlichkeitsüberlegungen gegenüber Konkurrenztechnologien. Für etwa ein Sechstel des Teilmassenstroms Mischkunststoffe, Verbund- und Störstoffe vorgesehene rohstoffliche Restverwertung ermöglicht ein Verfahrensregime ohne nachfolgende Deponie und ohne Massenverbrennung. Reststoffe können zu Baustoffen weiterverarbeitet werden. Feinrechengut wird keiner vorherigen trocken-mechanischen Vorbehandlung unterzogen.

Abstract: On moule un récipient perdu à partir d'une composition comprenant 40 à 90 % en poids d'un asphalte et 10 à 60 % en poids d'une matière polymère, et pouvant contenir avantageusement un premier polymère tel qu'un PP qui confère une résistance à la chaleur et un second polymère tel que l'EVA qui confère la ténacité et la résistance au choc. Cette matière moulée à l'asphalte/polymère présente de préférence une résistance au choc d'au moins 2 joules selon l'essai du type Izod sur éprouvette lisse. Le récipient est du type perdu, c'est-à-dire qu'il peut être fondu conjointement avec l'asphalte de couverture qu'il contient sans que cela ne nuise au propriétés de l'asphalte et sans qu'un mélange inutile ne soit nécessaire. Ladite composition peut également être utilisée pour réduire les fumées normalement dégagées par un fondoir contenant de l'asphalte fondu, réduction qui se manifeste par exemple par une réduction de l'opacité visuelle des fumées d'au moins 25 %, une réduction des émissions d'hydrocarbures d'au moins 20 % ou une réduction des émissions particulaires totales en suspension des fumées d'au moins 15 %. Le récipient peut être utilisé, par exemple pour contenir de l'asphalte de couverture ou de pavage ou une matière recyclable dérivée du pétrole, tel que de l'huile moteur usée. Dans un mode de réalisation, la composition du récipient peut contenir un ou plusieurs ingrédients pour améliorer la qualité de l'asphalte de pavage.

A sulfate of UDCA also may be administered to inhibit or treat an inflammatory disorder of the liver. A UDCA sulfate may be used to improve serum biochemistries of liver disease or liver function, to increase bile flow or to decrease biliary secretion of phospholipid or cholesterol. In yet a further aspect, the invention is directed to a method of maintaining an isolated organ by perfusing the organ with a sulfate of UDCA.

Abstract: An image forming method which forms a two color toner image or an image made up of two types of toners of the same color includes forming a first image with discharged area development (DAD) and a second image with charged area development (CAD). Resolution and sharpness of the first toner image is improved if the second toner image is formed by imagewise exposing a photoconductive member through a transparent base. Scavenging of the first toner image by the development of the second toner image and other aspects of the method are improved by use of a rotating magnetic core to drive a developer containing hard magnetic carrier in a soft brush through contact with the electrostatic image.
