Title: Compositions and processes for removing, separating and concentrating desired ions from solutions
Inventor: BRUENING RONALD L
IPC: B01J20/32
Filed: 1992-08-07
Granted: 2003-07-08
Abstract: A method for the removal and concentration of desired ions such as Pd(II), Pt(IV), Pt(II), Pd(IV), Ru(III), Ru(II), Au(III), Os(IV), Au(I), Cu(I), Cu(II), Ag(I), and Hg(II) from a multiple ion source solution which may contain larger concentrations of other undesired ions including H+ comprises bringing the source solution into contact with a compound comprising a thiol and/or thioether aralkyl nitrogen-containing ligand covalently bonded through an organic spacer silicon grouping to a solid inorganic support. The thiol and/or thioether aralkyl nitrogen-containing ligand portion(s) of the compound has an affinity for the desired ions to form a complex thereby removing the desired ions from the source solution. The desired ions are re-moved from the compound by contacting the compound with a much smaller volume of a receiving solution having a grea-ter affinity for the desired ions than does the thiol and/or thioether aralkyl nitrogen-containing ligand portion of the com-pound. The process is useful in removing desired or unwanted ions from Rh and Ir concentrates, acidic waste streams, multiple platinum group metal refining streams, and other industrial or environmental streams. The invention is also drawn to the thiol and/or thioether aralkyl nitrogen-containing ligands covalently bonded through a spacer grouping to a hydro-philic inorganic solid support material. The preferred aralkyl group is benzyl.

Abstract: A device for transmitting torque between two rotatable, co-axial shaft members (1, 2) in a stationary housing (4) has a clutch (11, 12) engageable to counteract differential rotational speed between the shaft members. A hydraulic clutch piston (14) is arranged to engage the clutch, and a hydraulic pump arrangement (1'; 18 - 21, 11", 14 - 17), driven by the speed differential between the two shaft members, creates a hydraulic pressure on the clutch piston.       The hydraulic pump arrangement includes a supply piston (18) and the clutch piston. Rollers (17, 21) are rotatable with one of the shaft members (2) and engage the other of the shaft members (1) via cams (1', 11"), which are angularly offset in relation to each other, so as to impart to the pistons a reciprocating movement at the differential rotational speed between the shaft members. A hydraulic line system (25, 27, 29, 31) connects a cylinder (23) at the supply piston on one hand with the tank (24) via a check valve (26) and on the other hand - via a line (27) with a check valve (28) - with an outlet line (31) and connects a cylinder (30) at the clutch piston (14) with the outlet line.

Title: A method of performing handoff in a cellular communication system
Inventor: BONTA JEFFREY D
IPC: H04W36/12
Filed: 1994-06-20
Granted: 1999-04-06
Abstract: The method consists of analyzing a handoff request (51) received from a source base station at a source base site controller (BSC) (22, 24, 26). If the handoff request contains a preferred base site list (52) (is from a MAHO environment) the request is forwarded to the mobile switching center (57). If the handoff request does not contain the preferred list, the BSC generates a candidate list (53) and transmits measurement messages to each candidate base site (54). The candidate base sites take measurements and reply to the BSC (55). The BSC uses the replies to generate a preferred base site list which is forwarded to the MSC (56). When the MSC receives a preferred base site list, it selects a handoff base site and executes the handoff (60).

Abstract: A pressing device for extracting water from a pulp web comprises two press rolls that form between them a nip and that are arranged to extend substantially in parallel one to the other in the unloaded-condition. The first press roll has its two ends supported in first bearing blocks and is stationarily fixed in the axial direction at least on one end.      The second press roll is supported by its two ends in two bearing blocks. The first bearing blocks and the second bearing blocks can be braced one to the other by means of tension members, which tension members allow the press rolls to perform a relative movement in the axial direction under load. One of the first bearing blocks is secured against displacement in the axial direction on the lower first bearing block, by means of an articulated joint acting preferably on the middle of the longitudinal extension of the tension element. This minimizes the bending stress exerted on the tension elements and distrib-utes it uniformly over the two ends of the tension elements, provided a central point of attack is selected for the articulated joint.
