Title: Method and apparatus for collecting organic materials and eliminating slaughter-house blood residues
IPC: A23J1/06
Filed: 1988-09-29
Granted: 1992-08-05
Abstract: The method of the invention for collecting organic materials and eliminating slaughter-house blood residues comprises the collection of blood to be treated and conveying the blood into a reactor, imparting the collected blood with a rotation and dispersion motion, introducing into the thus treated blood a metal salt in a quantity sufficient to coagulate and agglomerate the blood, adding a strong base to the agglomerated product, finally separating the two distinct phases in order to obtain on the one hand a pulp which is a valuable product and, on the other hand, a filtrate which may be discarded as residual product.
Patent EP-0383788-B1 (EP)
Title: Method and apparatus for filtering contaminants
IPC: B01D29/62
Filed: 1988-09-17
Granted: 1993-09-08
Abstract: A stream of contaminated liquid flows into a vessel, through a filter media comprised of at least 50 % pecan hulls, while clean liquid exits the vessel, leaving the contaminants deposited on the filter media. The deposited contaminants are scrubbed from the media by circulating the media along a toroidal flow path within the vessel until the contaminants have been transferred from the media into the liquid. The scrubbing action is achieved by a pump suction which is spaced from a pump discharge. The pump discharges through a perforated nozzle. The nozzle extends through a housing. An annulus is formed between the nozzle and the housing. Dirty scrub water flows from the pump, through the nozzle perforations, into the annulus, and away from the vessel, while at the same time the toroidal flow path is maintained.

Abstract: Le procédé et le dispositif décrits, qui servent à détecter la direction de rotation du vilebrequin dans un moteur diesel, se fondent sur la mesure de la différence angulaire (α) entre une marque de référence (BM) dépendant de la rotation du vilebrequin et le début de l'injection de carburant (FB). Dès lors que le flanc qui est normalement le flanc de fuite de la came de la pompe d'injection de carburant devient le flanc d'attaque lors d'une rotation inverse, cette différence angulaire devient sensiblement plus grande ou plus petite qu'une référence (αr) dans le cas d'une rotation inverse. Le signal produit lors d'une rotation inverse peut être utilisé pour arrêter immédiatement le moteur.

Abstract: The invention relates to a castor, in particular a steering roller (2), having a fork-shaped roller housing (4) with a fork bridge (6) and two fork arms (8), a running wheel (12) mounted rotationally between the fork arms (8), in particular a live ring (16) mounted in the fork bridge (6) on the side of connection of the apparatus and a locking device (20) mounted on the roller housing (4) having a locking lever (22), which is mounted movably, is spring-loaded and arranged approximately tangentially in relation to the circumference of the running wheel (12), and a release lever (24) which is mounted movably, is spring-loaded and interacts in an arresting manner with the locking lever (22). The locking lever (22) can preferably be moved by foot operation from a release position into an arrested locking position, in which, by means of a locking element (26) of a first lever arm (28), it locks the running wheel (12) and, in particular, by means of a second lever arm (32), it also locks the live ring (16). By operation of the release lever (24) the locking lever (22) can be moved back into the release position again due to its spring-loading. According to the invention, the locking lever (22) has an arresting element (48) which interacts non-positively and/or positively with the release lever (24) and with a housing wall (36) forming an abutment in such a way that it can be arrested essentially in any position beyond the path of its lever. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for injection of dye or contrast medium into a uterine cavity. An elongated member (12) having a first and a second end and an intermediate portion has a liquid impervious expandable tube (20) disposed around it and is sealed on each end thereof to the exterior thereof. A first fluid passageway (13) extends from one end of the elongated member to a barrier (15) and another fluid passageway (16) extends from the other end of the elongated member to the barrier. A first opening (23) in the elongated member allows fluid communication between the first passageway and the inside of the balloon tube (20) and a second opening (26) in the elongated member provides fluid communication between the second fluid passageway and the inside of the balloon tube. The second opening is substantially smaller in cross-sectional area than the first opening whereby fluid pressure applied to the first passageway will remain substantially higher than the pressure in the second fluid communication passageway, whereby fluid pressure within the tube will cause it to expand to seal against the inner wall of the uterine cavity, while at the same time fluid will flow sequentially from the first fluid communication passageway (13), through the first opening (23), through the expanded balloon tube (20), through the second opening (26), through the second communication passageway (16) and out through a discharge opening structure (18) on one end of the second fluid communication passageway.

Abstract: A metal-impregnated refractory of this invention is excellent in the resistance to spalling and the attack by slag or gas, so that it can be used for making various vessels for treating molten metal. A process for producing the refractory comprises molding a raw material of refractory particles mainly comprising MgO or Al2O3 by a suitable method, heating the molded material to form a porous article containing at least 4 % by volume of pores opening outward, and impregnating at least 25 % by volume of said pores with metal or its alloy mainly comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium and nickel. The formed refractory can withstand various damages inflicted thereon at higher temperatures, because the metal fills at least those pores which are present in an area ranging from the surface of the refractory to a certain depth thereof, so that it can be used stably for a long period of time.
