Abstract: The invention relates to a filtering apparatus including, inside a filtering tower (1), a filtering section (r), a liquid collecting section (7) and a liquid feeding section (e). The liquid feeding section (e) includes a diffuser (A) attached to an upwardly oriented orifice (5a) formed at a leading end of a liquid feeding pipe (5). The object is to provide an apparatus which allows use of the existing filtering tower without its enlargement and which allows uniform falling of the filtering liquid over the substantially entire top surface of the filter medium layer, thus making it readily possible to maintain the flatness of the top surface of the filter medium layer even when light-weight medium is employed, thereby to allow the filter medium layer as well as the entire filtering apparatus to achieve their desired filtering performance. The diffuser (A) includes a damping portion (k) for damping the momentum of the liquid discharged from the orifice (5a), a first discharging portion (8) for upwardly discharging the liquid damped by the damping portion (k), a second discharging portion (9) for laterally discharging the liquid damped by the damping portion (k), and a third discharging portion (10) for downwardly discharging the liquid damped by the damping portion (k), said first, second and third discharging portions being stacked one on another from the top to the bottom in the mentioned order. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is a nozzle assembly (3, 20) with a re-useable break off cap (20) for dispensing a product from a container (1). On a dispensing end (5) of the nozzle (3) a break-off cap (20) is integrally formed thereon and closes off the dispensing end (5) of the nozzle (3). The break-off cap (20) is removable by breaking a frangible connection (22) between the nozzle (3) and the break-off cap (20). Removing the break-off cap opens the dispensing end (5) of the nozzle (3) thereby allowing product to be dispensed through the nozzle (3). The break-off cap (20) removed from the nozzle (3) can then be re-engaged with the nozzle (3) to close off the dispensing end (5) thereby preventing further product from being dispensed. The cap can be attached to or removed from the nozzle (3) as often as a user requires. The invention also includes packaging which includes a tray (111) or pouch into which the nozzle assembly (3, 20) and container (1) can be inserted. A flexible resealable peel-off cover (110) is provided on each tray (111) to allow a user to resealably open and close the tray (111). The resealable tray (111) can be provided either singly or as a series of trays.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cooling a blast furnace provided with staves. Said staves are cooling plates comprising a massive plate body wherein cooling channels are integrated. The inventive method is characterised in that, the cooling water through flow, particularly in thermically high loaded areas of the furnace, is reduced in such a way that the average flow speed of the cooling water in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cooling channel is less than 1.0 m/s and can even be lower than 0.6 m/s. A whirl device is mounted upstream from the cooling channels in such a way that it generates a spiral flow of cooling liquid around the longitudinal axis of the cooling channel.

Abstract: A force transducer is inserted into a small boring inside a test object. Inside the boring, it can measure the elastic extensions caused by the surrounding stress matrix. The force transducer is provided in two parts. Both parts are provided with a conical inner boring or conical outer periphery in such a manner that they can be held inside the boring of the test object by a tractive force. In order to span a large tolerance zone, the outer part is axially provided with multiple slits on both sides. The outer part is provided with a polygonal shape and thereby detects the deformations to be measured, not over the entire periphery, but it records theres via the contacts axially oriented through the axial lines. The extension is integrated in a peripheral direction between the contacts and is transferred into the inner part.

Abstract: A container for a composition made of multiple components includes an outer housing having a chamber and an inner housing having a compartment. The inner housing includes a frangible wall portion that, when ruptured, enables the components to contact each other for mixing. Advantageously, the inner housing can be manufactured separately from the outer housing, and the housings can be assembled during a subsequent operation. In certain embodiments, the inner housing is slidable relative to the outer housing from a first position to a second position, and during the sliding movement a puncturing tool located within the container breaks the frangible wall portion and causes the components to contact each other.
