Abstract: The invention concerns a loading box adjustable in zones for the former of a paper or board machine. The former comprises a twin-wire section consisting of wires (13) placed one above the other and running in the same transfer direction (R), in which twin-wire section, at one side of the wires (13), a drain box has been mounted to remove water out of the fibrous pulp (P) running between the wires (13). At the opposite side of the wires, a loading box has been mounted, which is provided with a number of loading ribs (22), which are placed in the transverse direction in relation to the transfer direction (R) and which extend across the web width, said loading ribs being loaded towards the bottom of the drain box so as to produce the desired compression in the fibrous pulp (P) running between the wires (13). The loading box is provided with loading means (30), which are arranged to produce a locally raising or lowering force applied to the loading ribs (22) in the direction transverse to the transfer direction (R), said force being applied simultaneously to at least two successive loading ribs (22), so as to profile the compression force applied by said loading ribs (22) to the fibrous pulp (P) in said transverse direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Improved separation of emulsified hydrophobic organic soils can be obtained from aqueous effluents using an amphoteric carboxylate surfactant material in combination with cationic destabilizer or flocculent materials. Such a treatment in combination with an acidic pH adjustment causes the rapid separation of hydrophobic organic soils from the aqueous stream. The treated aqueous stream is environmentally compatible. Improved laundry detergents comprising an organic amphoteric carboxylate surfactant and selected nonionic surfactants provide both cleaning for fiber and fabric containing items soiled with substantial quantities of hydrophobic soil. The pH of an effluent generated in such cleaning processes can be adjusted to an acid pH and treated with a cationic material causing a break that permits rapid and substantially complete separation of the hydrophobic organic soils from the effluent. Residual concentrations of organic soil in effluent water can be less than 250 ppm and can be as low as 10 ppm.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an x-ray source for irradiating a surface defining a body cavity in accordance with a predetermined dose distribution. The source comprises a housing, an elongated tubular probe, a target assembly, and an inflatable balloon. The housing encloses an electron beam source and includes elements for generating an electron beam along a beam path. The tubular probe extends along a central axis from the housing about the beam path. The target assembly extends along the central axis and is coupled to the end of the probe distal from the housing. The target assembly includes a target element is positioned in the beam path. The target element is adapted to emit x-rays in response to electrons incident thereon from the beam. The probe tip assembly and associated control electronics include elements for positioning the target element in the beam path, and is substantially x-ray transparent. The balloon is affixed to the distal end of the probe and is inflatable so that when that probe end is inserted into a body cavity, the balloon may be inflated to stretch the cavity to a known shape. Positioning the probe tip inside the inflated balloon allows delivery of a uniform, or other desired, dose of radiation to the surface defining a body cavity.

Abstract: A multi-functional assembly of a hair dryer and accessory units in which a base unit is attached to a wall for producing heated air which is supplied to a hand-held dryer. A garment dryer is attachable in the assembly to receive the heated air produced by the base unit. The accessory units are capable of being detachably interconnected with one another and with the base unit in a variety of ways. The interconnection is made by security connectors to prevent unauthorized disconnection of the units. Electrical power is supplied to circuit boards in the base unit and the electrical power is transmitted to the accessory units when they are connected in the assembly. A ground fault circuit interrupter or similar safety device in the base unit controls electrical supply to all units. When the accessory unit is a garment dryer, the dryer drum is driven by a turbine wheel, driven by heated air. The drive turbine of the wheel is utilized to produce electrical energy to achieve various functions, such as door latching, alarm signal generation, moisture determination, etc.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système (10) de traitement d'images pour transformer une scène (15) en une mosaïque, choisir un nouveau point de vue pour la scène et restituer à partir de cette mosaïque une image de synthèse représentant la scène depuis ce nouveau point de vue (112). L'image de synthèse est ensuite combinée avec une seconde image (114). La combinaison de la seconde image et de l'image de synthèse produit une image composite constituée par une combinaison réaliste d'objets de la seconde image et de la nouvelle scène. En utilisant ce système, un arrière-plan ou d'autres scènes n'ont besoin d'être créés qu'une fois, puis restitués comme image par le système. Ensuite, par des procédés de traitement d'images, une vue quelconque de la scène peut être synthétisée et combinée avec des acteurs ou des objets saisis séparément, pour produire l'image composite. Dans ces conditions, un arrière-plan ou une autre scène peut être réutilisé de manière répétée, sans créer à nouveau la scène réelle.
