Abstract: The invention relates to housings for furnace probes which are used for observation in high-temperature zones and therefore have to be cooled. It is the object of the invention to make available a furnace probe housing, in the case of which local overheating with the known disadvantageous consequences is avoided. According to the invention, this object is achieved when the feed flow path of the housing merges at the front (8) of the probe into a half (19.1) of an external annular channel which extends over the circumference of the probe and from which a number of radial grooves (21.1) extending in the front (8) of the probe lead into a half of an internal annular channel (22) which concentrically surrounds the outlook opening (10) and from whose second half, which forms a unit with the first half on the liquid side, a number of radial grooves (1.2) lead outwards into the second half (19.2), which is separated in a liquid-tight fashion from the first half (19.1), of the external annular channel from which second half (19.2) the return flow path departs, there being an unchanging flow cross-section on the entire flow path of the cooling liquid, starting with the inlet (4) and ending with the outlet (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Hazardous wastes in a liquid, paste-like or solid state, which may contain heavy metals, are disposed of by being subjected, in a first stage in a pyrolysis furnace, to pyrolysis, after which the pyrolysis gases are introduced directly into a cement kiln during the primary firing. This achieves the destruction, at the temperatures of far above 1300@C in the cement kiln, of all organic compounds which can be hazardous to the environment or to health. In a particular embodiment, products such as plastics which contain heavy metal compounds are disposed of, with the pyrolysis taking place in the presence of a compound such as sulphur, selenium or tellurium. The heavy metal here remains very largely in the pyrolysis furnace as residue. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dans un dispositif de test de la capacité d'attention ou de concentration d'une personne, une série de chiffres est affichée à une vitesse prédéterminée modifiable par un enregistreur de paroles (62) et reproduite par un générateur de paroles (66) dans un casque d'écoute (10). Le sujet doit appuyer sur un bouton (16) à chaque fois qu'il entend une cible (par exemple "0"). A chaque fois qu'un "0" est entendu une unité de commande (50) produit un signal fenêtre relié par un circuit logique d'erreur (70) à l'impulsion d'actionnement de touches. Si la réaction est correcte, l'impulsion d'actionnement de touches se situera à l'intérieur de la fenêtre de temps, et un compteur (74) augmentera par conséquent le nombre du "score". Toute impulsion d'actionnement de touche se trouvant en dehors de la fenêtre de temps constitue une erreur d'omission enregistrée par un autre compteur (75). L'état du compteur est ensuite analysé afin de calculer un indice d'erreur (IE).

Title: Circuit for driving a gas discharge lamp load.
Inventor: MOISIN MIHAIL S
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1992-05-21
Abstract: A circuit (100) for driving a gas discharge lamp load (102, 104, 106) and including: an inverter (112) receiving a unidirectional voltage output and producing an alternating voltage, and having a control input (156, 166); a series-resonant oscillator (126) coupled to the inverter output (116) and having an inductance (128) and a capacitance (130) in series for producing an alternating current; an output transformer (134) coupling the lamp load to the oscillator in series with the inductance and in parallel with the capacitance; and a feedback transformer (146) having a primary winding (148) coupled in parallel with the output transformer and coupled in series with the capacitance and a secondary winding (150, 152) coupled to the control input of the inverter. Since the feedback transformer primary winding carries only capacitive current (IC), the frequency of the circuit is substantially independent of the load. This allows the feedback transformer to be of the non-saturating-core type while retaining control of the oscillator frequency. Also, the circuit automatically shuts down in the event of load short-circuit.

Abstract: The method comprises determining a concentration (C) of strongly complexed metal ions in a solution (LA). To this end, the solution (LA) is introduced into a chromatographic column (CS) which contains a filling material (FS) which has a smaller complexing constant than the strongly complexed, and a larger complexing constant than the weakly complexed metal ions in the solution (LA). As a result, the solution (LC) obtained from the chromatographic column (CS) contains only metal complexes which have a complexing constant larger than that of the filling material (FS) in the chromatographic column (CS). The concentration (C) of the metal complexes in the solution (LC) is then determined with the aid of a measuring appliance (AA3). If the concentration of the weakly bound metal ions in the solution (LA) is to be determined, the latter is filtered in a filter (F) and only then passed to the chromatographic column (CS). The solution (LB) which is obtained by the filtration and whose metal ion concentration (B) is determined with the aid of a measuring appliance (AA2), can be used to calculate the concentration of the weakly complexed metal ions by forming the difference of the concentrations (B) and (C). <IMAGE>
