IPC: C22B5/10
Filed: 2004-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the separation and recovery of non-ferrous metals from zinc-bearing residues, in particular from residues produced by the zinc manufacturing industry. The process allows for the valorisation of metal values in a Zn-, Fe- and Pb-bearing residue, and comprises the steps of: subjecting the residue to a direct reduction step, thereby producing a metallic Fe-bearing phase and Zn- and Pb-bearing first fumes; extracting the Zn- and Pb-bearing first fumes and valorising Zn and Pb; subjecting the metallic Fe-bearing phase to an oxidising smelting step, thereby producing an Fe-bearing slag and second metals-bearing fumes; extracting the second metals-bearing fumes and valorising at least part of their metallic content. The main advantage of this process is that an environmentally acceptable output for Fe is obtained.

Title: Self-tensioning tie down system
Inventor: LEGGETT TIMOTHY S
IPC: B60P7/08
Filed: 2004-05-17
Abstract: A self-tensioning tie down assembly and safety system for tightening the retaining straps securing cargo on a carrier. Retaining straps are connected to winches connected to the carrier. A ratchet system is used to tighten the winch. A two bar torque linkage has a ratchet arm connectable to the ratchet wheel of the winch via a socket and has a connector arm connected to an actuator. The actuator is connected to a pneumatic/electrical circuit and provides reciprocating linear motion thereby actuating the torque linkage. The torque linkage may be set in a tightening or loosening position. The required tension level of the retaining strap is pre-set. Pressure within the circuit drives the actuator thereby actuating the torque linkage which tightens the strap on the winch until the tension level is reached. Signals are sent to a display panel to indicate when a strap is loose.

Title: Power Distribution Block Assembly
IPC: H01R4/36
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: The terminal block assembly of this invention provides a finger safe method of distributing power while at the same time enabling the installer to make uniform and correct connections to a multiplicity of taps or ports. Each connection includes an abutment to engage the end of the conductor. The construction of the block and its insulating case provides the visual access to the tip of the conductor in its seated position before the conductor is secured to the block with clamp screws. The entire top of the insulating case is made from a transparent material. The top is provided with interior projections serving both to gauge and limit retraction of some of the clamp screws to prevent loose screws in the case. The screws, even though fully retracted or disengaged from the block, are held in axial alignment with their respective sockets and can't become loose in the case. <IMAGE>
