Abstract: Vapor compression refrigeration device using a non-azeotropic working fluid mixture with separation of liquid mixture and vapor mixture. The separation can occur at high pressure during condensation to expand the temperature glide, at low pressure during condensation, or both during evaporation and condensation.

Abstract: Effluent to be treated is introduced into the top of a first bioreactor (10) through an inlet pipe (16) and, after passing through second and third bioreactors (11 and 12), passes through a settling device (17), the treated effluent then flowing over a depth control weir (18) into an outlet pipe (19). The three bioreactors (10, 11 and 12) and the settling device (17) are housed in a tank having three sets of vertically-staggered transverse partitions (21, 22, 23) and a transverse settling tank partition (24). Each set of staggered partitions (21, 22 and 23) are arranged so that the bioreactors are interconnected in series, the effluent preferably being constrained to pass downwardly through each matrix (13, 14, 15) in turn against an upward discharge of very fine air bubbles from aeration panels (28) which extend under substantially the whole of each matrix. Aerobic bacteria feeds on nutrients in the effluent and grows on the roughened walls of the cross-flow matrix and the air bubbles promote sloughing of the bacteria. The apparatus therefore comprises three or more separate total mixed bioreactors working in sequence, each serving to reduce the biological oxygen demand of all the effluent whereby the biological oxygen demand is progressively reduced.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for a method of applying a material (12) usable as an orthopaedic casting bandage (16) which material comprises an open weave substrate having thereon a curable resin. The resin is curable, for example, by polymerization which polymerization is initiated by immersion of the resin coated substrate in a bath (15). Gloves (13) are worn during the performance of the method which gloves are provided with a coating (14) which in use is lubricous relative to the resin coated substrate. Thus the interference in application of the substrate due to the substrate sticking to the gloves is substantially reduced or eliminated by the lubricity of the gloves. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vertical control system for a rotary winged aircraft receives inputs from a displacement collective stick and a sidearm controller. The system provides a set point for the vertical rate of change of the helicopter as a function of a vertical lift command signal from the sidearm controller. The set point is used as a reference for an altitude rate of change feedback path, and an integrated value of the set point is used for an altitude feedback path. The set point is also input to a feedforward control path having an inverse vehicle model to provide a command signal indicative of the command for aircraft collective pitch necessary to achieve the desired set point. Signals from all three paths (i.e., the altitude rate of change feedback path, the altitude feedback path, and the feedforward path, are summed to provide a signal to backdrive the displacement collective which controls main rotor collective pitch.

Abstract: An oil/water emulsion, in particular from car wash installations, if required after elimination of sink material and freely separating light liquid in a buffer tank (3) designed as a preliminary separator (2), is subjected to a sequential biological purification ("SBP" process) by microorganisms in a vessel (9) with charging, mixing and aeration phases in such a manner that, independent of the influx of the emulsion to the buffer tank, the charging of the vessel and the concentration of the emulsion are kept as constant as possible and in a composition as favourable as possible for the nutrition of the microorganisms. For this purpose, nutrient salts containing nitrogen and/or phosphates and carbon-containing substances as supplemental nutrient can be added (17-19) to the emulsion as additional nutrients for the microorganisms. As a result, it is possible to use the "SBP" process with car wash installations even in the case of unbalanced nutrition of the microorganisms and frequently highly irregular influx, without having to fear damage to the population of microorganisms. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A metal strip wound up in a coil on a feed spool is split by supporting the feed spool for rotation about a horizontal axis and passing the strip along a generally horizontal feed plane through a rotary-blade cutter and subdividing the strip at the cutter into a plurality of even substrips and a plurality of odd substrips interleaved with the even substrips. The even substrips are guided upward in an upper plane forming a small acute angle with the feed plane from the cutter to a respective even-strip windup spool and these even substrips are wound up on the even-strip windup spool. The odd substrips are guided downward in a lower plane forming a small acute angle with the feed plane from the cutter to a respective odd-strip windup spool and these odd substrips are wound up on the odd-strip windup spool. The cutter and the feed spool are rotated at substantially the same speed and both the windup spools are driven at a speed slightly greater than the speed of the cutter and feed spool to pull the substrips from the cutter and the strip from the feed spool. The positions of the spools are adjusted to maintain the planes in substantially the same orientation relative to one another.

Abstract: Biofilters (3) for treating contaminated air (5) use immobilized biofilms on filter support media to biodegrade sorbed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biotransform inorganic oxides to sulfur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx) to residuals such as carbon dioxide, water and various acids (HCL, H2SO4, HNO3). The buffers in the trickling liquid (9) neutralize the acid. Some preferred support materials include pelletized solids, pelletized peat, pelletized compost, pelletized activated carbon, hydrogel beads, ceramics, and straight passage media such as extruded ceramics and extruded carbon. Pelletized supports and straight passage supports permit removal of excess biomass by hydraulic or chemical cleaning and minimize pressure loss. The biofilters are characterized by low pressure drop across the bed, good contact of influent gas with the biomass, and satisfactory biomass adherence to the support. The biofilters are easily cleaned of excess biomass or are self-cleaning.
