Abstract: Equipment protection of a switch matrix (SM) in a network node, which contains a number of matrix modules (M1.1-M4.4, E1.5-E4.6) is achieved by slicing an input signal into k parallel signal slices (x(0)-x(3))with k>2; coding the k signal slices into a number of n coded signal slices (x(0)-x(5)) with n>k+1 using an error correcting code to add redundancy to said input signal; switching said n coded signal slices through the switching matrix (SM) via n distinct matrix modules; and decoding the n coded signal slices into k decoded signal slices to correct errors introduced while passing through said switch matrix. Preferably, the switch matrix (SM) contains a first number of matrix boards (MB1-MB4, EBS, EB6), each carrying a second number of matrix modules (M1.1-M4.4, E1.5-E4.6).

Abstract: In the method, the spent stripper solution for tin or a tin mixture is treated to precipitate dissolved or suspended metal compounds. On the one hand chemicals for reuse, and on the other hand metals such as copper, tin, lead and/or iron are recovered from the waste water streams. Efficiency of the precipitation is improved by heating of the stripping solution at elevated temperatures, and by the addition of a precipitating reagent. Once the precipitate is removed, the remaining liquid may be reused, typically as an admixture with a fresh solution. In the production method of a regenerated stripping solution for tin comprising at least one inorganic acid, ferric ions, at least one organic acid, and at least one organic additive, the stripping solution is heated at elevated temperatures, precipitating reagent is added, precipitated matter is separated and removed, and one or some of the acids or additives mentioned are added for the recovery of the desired tin stripping capacity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting a short-circuiting bridge between or across rail bars of a section of a railway, comprising a first arm that can be brought into electrical contact with a first rail bar, a second arm that can be brought into electrical contact with the other rail bar, an electrical supply source, and detection means for detecting and monitoring, during operation, the short-circuit resistance of the short-circuiting bridge realized by said two arms between said two rail bars.  According to the invention, a device of the kind mentioned above is  characterised in that  it is further provided with a signal generation means which provides a signal to one or both or the rail bars on the basis of the detected short-circuit resistance.  The signal generation means provides a signal to one or both of the rail bars. This signal propagates itself through the relevant rail bar and can be detected at a relatively great distance from the short-circuiting bridge or crossbar, for example by means of a receiver that identifies the signal. The railway workers present there can then ascertain in a simple manner whether the short-circuiting crossbar is indeed present in the railway section in question.  Any confusion owing to miscommunication regarding any other parallel railway sections that may or may not be short-circuited is thus avoided. It can be ascertained by means of said signal whether the railway section is in the safe, short-circuited state and can be safely accessed by the railway worker(s).
