Abstract: In the recycling of used nickel/metal hydride storage batteries, the battery scrap is dissolved in sulphuric acid after mechanical separation of the coarse constituents by magnetic and air separation. A solvent extraction is performed with the digestion solution, from which the rare earths (from the hydrogen-storage alloys in the negative electrodes) and iron and aluminum have been selected by precipitation, under conditions pH, choice of solvent, volumetric ratio of the phases) which are such that the aqueous phase contains nickel and cobalt in the same atomic ratio as that in which they were present in the scrap. This makes possible a joint recovery by simultaneous electrolysis, in which process the deposition product forms a master alloy which can be used, together with the precipitated rare earths which have been electrometallurgically reprocessed as misch metal, for the production of fresh hydrogen-storage alloys.

Abstract: A method to obtain selected individual polynucleotides or mixtures thereof each of which encodes a peptide and at least one polynucleotide of the mixture encodes a peptide having a target property. The polynucleotides of the invention present in the mixture in detectable, retrievable, and clonable amounts are expressed in a host organism for screening for the target activity. The invention features the ability to synthesize controlled random polynucleotides to produce a predetermined mixture of polynucleotides and to avoid synthesis of a stop codon by adjusting the proportions into which the synthesis pool is subdivided and by adjusting the proportions of activated nucleotides added at each coupling step. A polynucleotide encoding a peptide having a target property can be selected and sequenced to deduce the amino acid sequence of the peptide.

Abstract: The disclosure pertains to a process for the low-temperature catalytic conversion of organic waste and to apparatus for carrying out the process. Shredded waste is heated within the confines of a conversion line while air is excluded and the gas stream drawn off from the conversion line at various temperature stages and containing the conversion gases thus produced is cooled to condense the conversion gases produced at different temperatures before being led in the circulation back into the conversion line. In order to create favourable conversion conditions, it is proposed that: the waste should be conveyed in a circulation system through the conversion line which should be heated at set time intervals from one temperature level to the next level; the waste carried by a nitrogen conveyer gas stream along the conversion line should be discharged from the circulating conveyer gas stream downstream of the conversion line and fed back into the conveyer gas stream upstream of the conversion line, at least a portion of the conveyer gas stream being cooled for the purpose of condensing the conversion gases; and the time interval between different temperature stages should be adjusted in accordance with the build-up rate of at least one conversion gas, preferably carbon dioxide, within the confines of the conversion line.

Abstract: A battery charging circuit, particularly useful in a laptop computer system, includes a voltage input terminal coupled to a dc voltage (V+). A first switch (11) couples the voltage input terminal to an output (14) coupled to the battery through a current sense resistor (15). A first current sink (19) which is on when the charger circuit is on draws current from the input side of the current sense resistor (15) through a first resistor (17) to develop a first voltage (V2). This voltage (V2) and a voltage (V3) coupled through a second resistor (21) from the battery side of the sense resistor (15) are inputs to a comparator (25), the output of which controls the first switch (11). A second current sink (23), when on, draws current through the second resistor (21) causing the first switch (11) to be held off, turning the charging circuit off. An ON/OFF terminal, to which a variable duty cycle square wave is supplied, controls the turning on and off of the first (19) and second (21) current sinks, with the length of the duty cycle controlling the average current supplied to the battery. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronically controlled wastegate valve is adjusted so that the pressure drop across a throttle in the engine approaches an adaptively generated, desired throttle pressure reserve value. The desired throttle pressure reserve value is based at least in part on a history of the engine load. In the preferred embodiment, the engine speed is used as a surrogate for engine load to determine the desired throttle pressure reserve value. The desired throttle pressure reserve value is preferably pushed downward over time by use of a constant negative gain term in the electronic controller. In this manner, the wastegate control provides sufficient throttle pressure reserve for satisfactory load acceptance when engine load is fluctuating, yet minimizes throttle pressure reserve to improve engine fuel consumption when the engine load is relatively steady. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for verifying the authority of a user to access by a mobile telephone either a payment system or a data system. A user card that carries a microprocessor and a memory that includes an encryption key is inserted into a mobile telephone to initiate a connection with the payment system or the data system via the mobile telephone system network. Using the mobile telephone keypad, the user enters an identifying number that is unique to that user, and the microprocessor performs a calculation using the encryption key and the user identifying number to obtain a calculated signature that is transmitted over the mobile telephone network to a computer connected with the payment system or the data system to which access is desired. The system computer performs a calculation using the unique user number and the same encryption key that is maintained in the system computer memory for the particular user to obtain a system-computer-calculated signature, which is then compared by the system computer with the transmitted signature. If the two signatures match, access to the payment system or the data system is granted to enable the user to perform a desired transaction.
