Patent EP-0836697-B1 (EP)
Title: Conveyor/cooler of loose materials
Inventor: CARREA ALBERTO
IPC: B65G53/44
Filed: 1996-06-15
Granted: 1999-08-25
Abstract: A conveyor/cooler of hot loose materials produced by fluid bed boilers and various industrial processes includes one or more feeding channels, which are substantially vertical or at any inclination. Because of gravity, the material leaves the combustion chamber of the boiler. A metallic container is connected to the downstream end of the discharging channels. A metallic conveyor belt driven by a motor is placed within the container, and the material from the downstream end of the channels is laid on the conveyor belt, thus forming a travelling continuous bed. The belt therefore constitutes a regenerative heat exchanger which absorbs heat from the material during the forward run and gives it back to the air during the backward run.

Abstract: An injection circuit with an injection pump (7), an injection duct (6) and a double connecting line to the high-pressure bottle (11) to be filled allows the high-pressure bottle to be filled from an intermediate reservoir (1) or directly from the compressor (2) with no significant heating. The injection circuit dissipates the generated heat either by means of heat exchangers (15) or by mixing in the intermediate reservoir (1). The process is automated by means of a differential pressure switch (9) associated to a temperature sensor on the injection duct (6).

Abstract: Radiography device or radioactive source storage and wind out device. The device comprises an exchangeable radioactive source housed within a transport container (20), the latter forming the storage or safe position for the source when it is being used in radiography. The shielding of the source is sufficient to meet both transport regulations and with extra shielding (3, 30, 32), which is also part of the transport container, sufficient shielding for an radiography device. The transport module (2) comprises the transport container (20) and a storage drum (40) for the wind out cable. The cable is wound out or in from the cable drum (40) as the radioactive source is moved from its safe or storage position to the position at which it is needed to provide a radioactive source.

Abstract: Status changes made on first pager (130 and 530) are wirelessly communicated to an infrastructure (110 and 510) which communicates the status changes to other pagers (150 and 550) so that the other pagers make corresponding status changes. Thus, a user's status changes made on one pager are automatically made on the user's other pagers. Status changes include changes to received messages, alarm times, alert thresholds, and key word alerts. This allows a user to own several of the pagers (150 and 550) and switch between their use without having to adjust the status of each owned pager.

Abstract: Methods for treating sex hormone-dependent conditions are disclosed. The methods of the invention generally feature administration to a subject of an LHRH antagonist, in combination with a second therapy. In one embodiment, this second therapy is the performance of a procedure that removes or destroys tumor tissue, such as radical excision, cryosurgery or radiation therapy (external or interstitial). In another embodiment, the second therapy is treatment with an LHRH agonist, either simultaneously with or subsequent to LHRH antagonist therapy. The methods of the invention can further involve administering an antiandrogen and/or an inhibitor of sex steroid biosynthesis to the subject in combination with the LHRH antagonist. Methods for inhibiting the LHRH antagonist - induced hormone surge, whatever its clinical setting, are also disclosed. These methods generally involve administration of an LHRH antagonist in combination with the LHRH agonist. Complete suppression of the LHRH agonist-induced hormone surge has been achieved by pretreatment with a sustained-released formulation of LHRH antagonist.

Abstract: Apparatus for adding a beneficial agent to a liquid for drinking during oral administration includes a support structure extending transversely across an imperforate walled zone such as the upper end or neck of a bottle or vessel, or of a funnel-like adapter attached to the top of the vessel, with a retention pocket with liquid penetrable walls held by the support structure and comprising at least one beneficial agent secured therein whereby the beneficial agent is taken up in the liquid for drinking during or just prior to oral administration. The beneficial agent may be in either or both of controlled release dosage form or non-controlled release dosage form and may be one or more of nutrients, medicaments, probiotics, electrolytes, rehydration solutions and diagnostic agents, to which a flavoring agent may be added. In the novel method a support structure with a retention pocket comprising at least one beneficial agent is provided in a bottle or vessel with the support structure extending transversely of the neck or top of the bottle or vessel or a drinking tube extending thereinto. The bottle or vessel is provided with a liquid for drinking selected from a liquid nutritional product, a beverage or water and the liquid is contacted with the beneficial agent during or just before oral administration thereof.

Abstract: The treatment, for example the cleaning of holes or recesses in workpieces, is problematic when the holes or recesses have an opening width of below 0.5 mm, and especially when the latter do not penetrate the workpiece (blind bores). In known methods, gas bubbles adhering to the side-walls of holes of this type cannot be removed or liquids situated within the holes cannot be effectively exchanged.With the method according to the invention an effective exchange of the liquid contained in the holes and situated outwith the holes is made possible. For this purpose the liquid treatment means is sprayed as a jet into the holes, said jet having a diameter which is smaller than that of the holes.Furthermore, a device is described for carrying out this method which is characterised by a nozzle with one or several nozzle discharge openings with a diameter below 0.5 mm, by a liquid supply unit by means of which liquid treatment medium is pumped through the nozzle discharge openings and by a filter unit, communicating with the openings and the feeder unit, for removing particles from the treatment medium.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de filtration. Ce système utilise une cartouche de filtre (40) adaptée pour être mise au rebut d'une manière écologique. La cartouche de filtre ne comporte aucune pièce métallique et évite ainsi d'utiliser un tube central métallique, ou un tube central de toute configuration. Le boîtier (60) lui-même supporte un tube central permanent (66). Un dispositif d'étanchéité (50, 51) formé entre la cartouche de filtre et le boîtier assure une étanchéité radiale isolant la périphérie extérieure de la cartouche de filtre du reste de ce dernier. Un filtre (41) et des couvercles d'obturation (44, 45) se situent dans la zone en aval à faibles pression, et ainsi les forces axiales imposées sur le filtre placent le filtre sous tension pour éviter l'application de charges d'écrasement sur le filtre non supporté.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for induction sealing of a packaging material (2) which includes a layer of aluminium foil. The apparatus includes an inductor (1) with two parallel slightly spaced apart conductors (3) which are disposed in an electrically insulated carrier portion (4). The conductors are connected to one another and to a high frequency current source by means of two transverse conductors (6, 7). The transverse conductors (6, 7) are placed in the upper surface (8) of the inductor (1) and coincide with the outer defining lines (13) of the flat-laid material tube (2). Hereby, the current is led in a controlled fashion from the one conductor (3) to the other and a power output requirement is obtained for sealing the central zone of the packaging material (2) which is of the same magnitude as for the sealing of the edge zones of the packaging material (2). The inductor (1) of the above-described type is particularly adapted for sealing packaging material (2) which encloses products that are viscous, for example, tomato paste or fibrous products. <IMAGE>
