Patent EP-0299356-B1 (EP)
IPC: B63B15/02
Filed: 1988-07-07
Granted: 1992-07-29
Abstract: Construction system with which the mast of sailing vessels can be changed in its position relative to the hull in accordance with the wind strength. The foot of the mast rests in a joint which permits the inclination of the mast both to either side and towards the stem and stern. The position of the mast is influenced via a weight displaceable laterally and forwards and backwards in the hull. The advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that the torques acting on the mast are compensated for by pendulum weights and are not transmitted to the hull. Due to the pendulum weight, the mast can be set in any position in which the wind force can be utilised to the maximum. <IMAGE>

Title: Storage battery having a plurality of cells and a central degassing system integrated in the battery cover
IPC: H01M50/35
Filed: 1988-08-19
Granted: 1991-10-30
Abstract: In a centrally-vented multi-cell battery, a porous fritting body (2), which is enclosed in a plastic capsule (1) and is used for explosion protection, is arranged so as to be removable in a chamber- like expansion (3) of the vent line (4) which is guided in the battery cover (5). The capsule additionally contains a valve, which is located in front of the fritting body (2) - seen in the gas outlet direction (7) - and protects the latter from electrolyte mists produced by the charging gases. Moisture which is nonetheless absorbed by the fritting body can fall out downwards from the actual flow cross-section, because of its vertical arrangement, so that it is unnecessary to increase the flow resistance by blocking the pores.   <IMAGE>

Title: Process for recycling waste materials
IPC: C10G1/00
Filed: 1988-12-10
Granted: 1992-04-08
Abstract: A liquid fraction and a gas fraction produced during the reprocessing of waste material containing CH compounds by pyrolysis, have a mass ratio approximately equal to 1. Since the liquid fraction is more suitable for further processing than the gas fraction, there is an incentive to augment the liquid fraction at the expense of the gas fraction. In order to achieve this object, the pyrolysis gas is cooled until the benzene and the higher-boiling gaseous constituents of the pyrolysis gas pass into the liquid phase, so that a benzene-containing liquid fraction is produced. A gas mixture containing benzene and toluene is stripped out of the benzene-containing liquid fraction, passed together with the gas fraction at a temperature of 300 DEG  to 450 DEG  C. over a zeolitic catalyst and then separated by cooling into both a fraction which is liquid at atmospheric pressure and a residual gas fraction. As a result, the proportion of the liquid fraction is substantially increased and the economics of the process are substantially improved.

Filed: 1989-03-03
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: A highly efficient method for recovering Y2O3 from used investment casting shell molds containing Y2O3 is disclosed. The used mold materials are introduced into a dissolution reactor preferably consisting of a rotating vessel having an interior lining of acid and abrasion resistant material. An acid is combined with the materials in the reactor and agitated for a selected time period. Thereafter, the liquid remaining in the reactor is separated from the residual solids and removed. The liquid contains dissolved Y2O3 which is precipitated, preferably using oxalic acid to produce yttrium oxalate [Y2(C2O4)3.9H2O]. The Y2(C2O4)3 9H2O is ultimately removed from the solution and calcined to produce high purity Y2O3.
