Abstract: A device for lifting and lowering a submersible motor-driven pump. Starting from a lifting device with a load lifting member which can be moved up and down on a guide and is to be connected via a coupling device to a carrying part arranged on the submersible motor-driven pump, the object of the invention was to ensure the safe lowering and - above all - the safe lifting of such submersible motor-driven pumps which are arranged in a heavily contaminated pumping medium. To achieve the required safety, the solution according to the invention uses such elements which have proved reliable as load lifting members, such as load hooks and shackles. So that these elements can also be made suitable for coupling and uncoupling at a remote location which cannot be inspected, the invention provides for the load hook to be moved along two guide ropes, in the course of which the load hook acted upon by a counterweight in the direction of the unlatching position can be moved into the latching position by means of an actuating rope reaching to the upper level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A slag detector apparatus (28) is capable of detecting a condition of 5% or less slag (L) entrainment in a molten metal stream (S) so that actions can then be taken to shut off further discharge of the molten metal (M) from the ladle 12 to the tundish (14) in a continuous casting line (10). The molten metal stream (S) has a fluctuating cross-sectional dimension and is composed of a continuous succession of recurring cyclical globules (G) of molten metal. The slag detector apparatus (28) employs a coil (32) having an axial length at least equal to the length (1) of each globule (G) of molten metal in the stream (S) thereof. The impedance of the stream (S) due to entrain­ment of slag (L) therein is reflected in the terminal impedance of the coil (32). An impedance detector (40) is employed for periodic sampling and smoothing of the fluctu­ations of the terminal impedance of the detector coil (32).

Abstract: A process is described for curing sand moldings, in particular casting cores, by the cold box process. In this process a catalyst containing gas mixture escaping from the mold is passed over a mixture feed side of a semipermeable membrane while a pressure is maintained on the permeate side of the membrane which is less than the pressure on the mixture feed side, whereby the catalyst vapors preferentially permeate through the membrane, and a permeate carrier gas stream which is, in particular, 50 to 300 liters greater than the permeate stream passing through the membrane per m2 and per hour is passed over the permeate side of the membrane. The catalyst, in particular a tertiary amine, is greatly concentrated in the permeate carrier gas stream and can simply and inexpensively be removed from the latter by condensation. Inexpensive, virtually complete recovery of the expensive catalyst is possible using the process.

Abstract: In addition to the usual type of screw-down mechanism (34, 35), work roll gap is adjusted during work roll change for different diameter work rolls (4, 5), without removing the backup rolls (2, 3), by a variable height plate rotatably inserted between the backup roll chocks and the housing (1), which will minimize the volume of oil contained within the screw-down adjustment rams (22, 32) while maintaining good rigidity for the plate adjustment (H) even during high impact and high vibration hot rolling. A similar effect is provided by containing unused plate height portions entirely within the footprint of the housing where they can be rigidly supported. Further rigidity is obtained with minimizing the volume of fluid within the rams, accomplished by placing the valve stand immediately adjacent to the hydraulic rams for the screw-down and preferably on top of the housing. The roll change height adjustment provided by the plates, as opposed to a bulky screw-type adjustment, provides for a reduced height housing and the additional room for the valve stand.

Abstract: An automatic frequency control tracks a television signal before and after a period of interruption. The automatic frequency control comprises a voltage controlled feedback loop including a voltage controlled local oscillator (18) and a mixer (20) for mixing the output of the oscillator (18) with the TV signal. The output of the mixer (20) is filtered to remove unwanted components of the mixed signal and to equalize sidebands of the television signal. The output of the filter (24) is supplied to a detector (30) which is tuned to a component of the television signal, and produces a voltage corresponding to the frequency of the component. The output of the detector (30) is supplied to the voltage control input of the local oscillator (18) to track the television signal component. Circuitry (71, 72) automatically senses the absence of the TV signal component from the mixer (20), and automatically applies a reference voltage (V R ) to the voltage control input of the oscillator (18) when the TV signal component is absent. The detector (30) is operative to detect the television signal component following the application of reference voltage (V R  to the oscillator so that when the television signal returns, the detector (30) is capable of tracking it.

Abstract: Scrap poly(ethyleneterephthalate) is converted to useful amine and diamine monomers such as para-xylylenediamine, 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclo­hexane and 4-aminomethyl benzoic acid for the production of various polyamides. The conversion of poly(ethyleneterephthalate) to diamine monomers is achieved by a three step process involving (a) ammonolysis of the poly(ethyleneterephthalate) to produce terephthalamide and ethylene glycol; (b) pyrolytic dehydration of the terephthalamide to produce terephthalonitrile; and (c) hydrogenation of the terephthalonitrile to produce the para-xylylene diamine and/or 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane. The conversion of poly(ethyleneterephthalate) to 4-aminomethyl benzoic acid involves the steps of (a) ammonolysis of the poly(ethyleneterephthalate) to produce terephthalamide; (b) partial pyrolytic dehydration of said terephthalamide to produce 4-cyanobenzoic acid; and (c) hydrogenation of said 4-cyanobenzoic acid to produce 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid. The process of the present invention permits the conversion of low value PET scrap such as beverage bottles, fibers and film to relatively high value and relatively pure diamine monomers and ethylene glycol.

Abstract: A new image (S′ij) is generated from an image sig­nal (Sij) by determining whether the configuration of the distribution of the image signal (Sij) at a point of inter­est (i, j) is upwardly convex, or a downwardly convex, or otherwise, employing, as the new image signal (S′ij), the original image signal (Sij) at the point of interest (i, j) if the configuration is upwardly convex or downwardly convex, and employing, as the new image signal (S′ij), an unsharp signal (Uij) if the configuration is otherwise. A differential signal (Sij - Uij), or an absolute signal |Sij Uij|, or a square signal ((Sij - Uij)²), or a Laplacian sig­nal (∇²Sij) is compared with a threshold signal (T) to determine whether the configuration of the distribution of the image signal (Sij) at a point of interest (i, j) is upwardly convex, or a downwardly convex, or otherwise. The unsharp signal (Uij) comprises an average signal (Uaveij) or a median signal (Umedij) in a region including the point of interest (i, j). A sharpness emphasizing signal (S*ij) is calculated from the new image signal (S′ij) and the unsharp signal (Uij) according to the equation: 
S*ij = S′ij + K(S′ij - Uij) 
where K is a coefficient signal.
