Title: Method of absorbing hydrophobic water-immiscible liquids.
Inventor: ROBSON DAVID JAMES
IPC: B01D15/04
Filed: 1991-10-03
Abstract: A material for absorbing hydrophobic water-immiscible liquids comprises lignocellulosic plant material which has been rendered relatively more absorbent to hydrophobic water-immiscible liquids by esterification of hydroxyl groups in the lignin of the lignocellulose material. The esterification in one aspect is by acetylation of the hydroxyl groups. Absorbing articles and methods for use with hydrophobic water-immiscible liquids are also disclosed.

Title: Process for the manufacture of profiles
IPC: B29C48/49
Filed: 1992-05-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture profiles from molten polymer materials by means of extrusion. Before shaping, the melt stream of a second polymer material is incorporated into the melt stream of the first polymer material in the flow direction. The combined melt streams are then shaped in the shaping extrusion die to form a profile strand, cut to length after cooling, and removed. The invention consists in that the spatial extent of the second polymer material in the melt stream of the first polymer material can be varied. This is effected by way of the distance of the injection point of the second polymer material from the point where the combined melt streams run into the shaping extrusion die. A further influencing means is provided by the variation of the cross-section dimensions of the clear injection opening for the second polymer material.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a multistory multicolumn storing installation capable of efficiently storing cargoes and of efficiently operating for receiving and delivering cargoes. 
     Storing columns A, B, C and D are formed in a frame structure 1, and all the front and rear beams 70 of the second floor 2F, the third floor 3F and the fourth floor 4F are provided each with a driving unit 71 and a transporting unit 72 for laterally moving a movable platform T supporting a pallet P loaded with cargo K. One of two columns of each block is provided with a lifting mechanism 5, 15 respectively, and one of such columns having the lifting mechanism is utilized as an empty column without any movable platform through which the cargo can be transported up and down to be stored or sent out, and the other column having the lifting mechanism can be utilized for storing cargoes in its storing divisions as well. In other words, all the movable platforms T in one column having the lifting mechanism can be transferred to the other column having the lifting mechanism, thereby either one of the columns having the lifting mechanism can be made empty to use the lifting mechanism to operate the lifting frames 7 (17) to lift or lower the pallet P alone from or onto the movable platform T.

Abstract: The present publication discloses a steam box comprising means (4, 10, 13, 16) for distributing steam onto a web (1) being calendered, at least one valve (5, 6, 7) connected to said steam distributing means and capable of controlling the blowing of the steam onto the web (1) and elements (3, 25, 15, 16, 9) for feeding hot steam to the valve (5, 6, 7). The invention is based on having in each valve (5, 6, 7) at least three steam channels, namely an inlet channel (22) for feeding the steam to the valve, an outlet channel (23) of the valve for feeding the steam onto the web (1) and a recirculation channel (24) for recirculating the steam, and a check element (20) for controlling and dividing the incoming steam flow from the inlet channel (22) between the outlet channel (23) and recirculation channel (24) of the valve, and a return pipe (27) connected to the recirculation channels (24) of the valves (5, 6, 7), capable of routing the steam directed to the recirculation channel (24) of the valve (5, 6, 7) to, e.g., the condensate return line of the steam distribution system. By virtue of such a circulation the valve can be kept warm even when no steam is directed via said valve, thus preventing the formation of droplets and their blowing onto the web.

Abstract: A drum brake of the generic type has a brake anchor plate (1) which is bolted by means of fixing bolts (15) to the axle stub (16) of the vehicle. The brake anchor plate (1) carries two brake shoes (6, 7). A wheel bearing hub (4) extends through the interior of the brake radially to the inside of the brake shoes (6, 7). In order to permit as large as possible an outside diameter of the wheel bearing hub (4) without the need to increase the outside diameter of the drum brake, the drum brake should have as compact a construction as possible. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, by the fact that the fixing bolts (15) are arranged in a radially outer region of the drum brake over which the webs (9) of the brake shoes (6, 7) extend and that the webs (9) have openings (17) for the passage of a screwing tool. This gives an advantageously compact drum brake, the fixing bolts (15) of which can be tightened easily from the outside of the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Optical transceiver arrangement to transmit information signals (S1, ., Sn) from a transmitter arrangement (T) to a receiver arrangement (R) over an optical waveguide (L). This is achieved by modulating electrical subcarrier waveforms with these information signals (S1, ., Sn) using modulation means (M1, ., Mn), converting them to optical signals using electrical/optical convertors (E/O1, ., E/O1n), and by transmitting these optical signals, by means of time division multiplexing means (TDM1, ., TDMn), in different time slots if the subcarrier waveforms have the same frequency. The modulation- and time division multiplexing means are controlled by corresponding individual control modules (C1, ., Cn) under control of a central control module (CC) included in the receiver arrangement.

Abstract: The gasification-combined power plant of the present invention has a structure wherein a fuel gas is generated by partially oxidizing a carbon-containing fuel 2 with an oxygen-containing gas 3 in the gasification apparatus 1, the sensible heat of the fuel gas is recovered by the heat exchanger 4, char and dust are removed from the fuel gas by the dust collector 5, trace gas components, such as H₂S and NH₃, are simultaneously removed from the waste gas by the gas separation apparatus 6 based on dry physical adsorption of these components (for example, by a pressure swing adsorption method), the thus separated and removed gas containing high concentrations of trace gas components, such as H₂S and NH₃, is denitrated and desulfurized by the gas disposal apparatus 7 and then is discharged from the chimney 13 into the atmosphere. With the simultaneous removal of the trace gas components at a high temperature from the fuel gas produced by the gasification apparatus, this plant simultaneously achieves both a high heat efficiency for the gasification-combined power plant as a whole and the reduction of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides in the combustion waste gas from the gas turbine.
