Patent EP-0265628-B1 (EP)
IPC: B28B11/16
Filed: 1987-08-29
Granted: 1989-03-15
Abstract: Method and apparatus for cutting columnar articles, such as uncured ceramic (i.e., therefore plastic) web-type columns (e.g., which may typically be cured to a hardened state and coated with catalyst to form a catalytic converter), includes a cutting wire tensioned between a pair of spaced locations situated on the exterior side of the column to be cut. One of the locations (and thus one end portion of the cutting wire) is in a fixed position relative to the column, while the other location (and thus the other end portion of the cutting wire) is orbitally movable around the column. The cutting wire cuts the column along a plane established by such orbital movement while the length of the cutting wire is simultaneously continually varied so as to impart a benificial rectilinear (e.g., "saw-type") motion thereto so as to assist in the column cutting operation. A cleaning device in wiping contact with the wire cleans the same by virtue of such rectilinear motion. It is also possible to incrementally advance the cutting wire from one of the locations towards the other location at periodic intervals (e.g., once per cutting cycle) so that "fresh" wire is constantly being supplied to the actual column cutting area.

Abstract: A header device (10) for receiving an IC card or pack (30), comprises a housing (11), which includes an IC-pack holder (12) having an opening (121) through which the IC pack (30) is inserted into and removed from the housing, and a pair of first levers (21) projecting into the IC-pack holder (12) so as to abut an end portion (31) of the IC pack (30), and a pair of second levers (22) located outside the holder. The first and second levers (22, 23) are coupled to each other at their respective proximal ends (211, 221), so that they are immovable relative to each other. The coupled levers (21, 22) are rotatably mounted on the housing (11). If the IC pack (30) is inserted into the housing (11) through the opening (12), the end portion (31) of the IC pack pushes the respective first levers (21), thereby rotating both the first and second levers (21, 22) in a first rotation direction. Then, if the second levers (22) are rotated in a second rotation direction reverse to the first rotation direction, the first levers (21) push the IC pack out of the housing.

In the process according to the invention the used sands are free from carbon-containing materials in a first step by means of a thermal treatment, inasmuch as they contain organic, carbon-containing material, and are subsequently mechanically cleaned batch-wise, for which purpose wear-resistant friction elements are moved through the sand charge as a function of the degree of oolitization of the respective sand batch at such a speed that the said grain of the batch is not destroyed. The device according to the invention consists of a cylindrical housing, in which rotatingly driven friction elements are provided, means for the batch-wise filling of the receptacle with used sand and means for discharge cleaned sand from the receptacle being provided. The drive of the friction elements is effected as a function of the degree of oolitization of the used sand and in such fashion that the quartz grain of the sand batch is not destroyted.

Abstract: The rotary drive device for the sleeve or the work holder of an erosion machine has two electric motors (8a, 8b) which each drive, for example, the sleeve (2) in a rotary movement via a transmission (6a, 6b) and gears (5a, 5b, 7a, 7b, 4). So that any backlash in the transmission and the gears is neutralised and the elasticity of the drive line is compensated, the two electric motors always run in different directions or at different rates. The entire drive line is thus always under a certain preloading, which permits accurate positioning with simple and inexpensive drive elements. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for treating ion-exchanging masses, particularly for regenerating them after the softening and desalting of aqueous solutions
IPC: C02F1/42
Filed: 1989-05-16
Granted: 1991-10-30
Abstract: The invention concerns an ion exchange process and system, particularly for the regeneration step following a softening or desalination of aqueous solutions. The regenerant solution is fed in an upward stream through the ion exchanger in a direction opposite to the charging direction, as a sequence of intermittent pulse intervals consisting of pulse flow followed by a period of no flow. During the pulse flow, there is limited hydrodynamic lifting of the ion exchange resin beds in layers, followed by subsequent sedimentation during the pause period, without mixing of the layers.
