Patent EP-0543047-B1 (EP)
Inventor: POS JACOBUS
IPC: B03B9/06
Filed: 1991-11-22
Granted: 1995-03-01
Abstract: In a method for cleaning rubble, in which the dirty water is to be purified, after the removal of relatively coarse and medium sand fractions, the invention proposes the use of a separator (7), known from the food sector and furnished with blades, to separate fine sands and very fine sands. Flotation units (12) or sedimentation units (25) can be connected downstream of the separator in order to remove the remaining contaminants from the water. As a result of the removal of the fine sand portions, the proportion of reusable substances which are removed from the water is increased, while at the same time, the proportion of wastes to be disposed of is reduced.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for producing aluminium-containing ferritic stainless steel from a magnesium-contaminated melt is disclosed, such that the steel is suitable for growing oxide whiskers on a surface thereof, so as to cover said surface. The method comprises adding sulphur to the contaminated melt in an amount sufficient to increase the sulphur content to not less than 1.3 times the magnesium content, whereupon the sulphur reacts with the magnesium to render the magnesium inert and thus prevent it from inhibiting oxide whisker growth. The method also preferably comprises an addition of titanium, zirconium or hafnium in amounts sufficient to react with any residual sulphur present in the melt in excess of the amount required for complete stoichiometric reaction with the magnesium present in the melt, thereby mitigating the adverse effect of free sulphur in the steel on oxide adhesion to the steel.

Abstract: Battery testers are well known devices, but these devices tend to be bulky and inconvenient to use. Furthermore, known devices do not allow ease of operation for all types of battery cells. Described herein is a voltmeter arrangement (1, 2) which can be used as an improved battery tester. The voltmeter comprises a dielectric layer (13), a conductive layer (14, 15, 16) positioned adjacent the dielectric layer (13), and a temperature sensitive color indicator layer (19) in contact with the conductive layer (14, 15, 16). The conductive layer (14, 15, 16) is capable of generating sufficient heat to effect a change in the temperature sensitive control indicator layer (19). The voltmeter can be integrated with a label and attached directly to a battery. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An induction motor control apparatus for controlling the power factor at which an induction motor 12 operates includes sensors and circuits CT, 22; 16, 24; 26 for periodically detecting the effective (RMS) values of current and voltage supplied to the motor winding during a fixed number of cycles, e.g. one cycle, and multiplying these to obtain a value of apparent power of the motor, together with circuits CT, 146, 28 for detecting the working power of the motor, with the power factor of the motor being thereby accurately obtained. That detected power factor is compared with an ideal value of power factor, to obtain an error amount that is applied to control the motor voltage. The ideal power factor is obtained by multiplying a designated value of power factor by a compensation amount that is determined in accordance with the motor load, thereby ensuring that stable operation of the motor is achieved even under the no-load condition. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tool wear detector is formed by applying a resistor, the resistance of which is permanently altered in accordance with a time/temperature relationship (and by change in size e.g. as a result of wear), to a tool in a manner so that the resistor and the portion of the tool to be monitored are subjected to corresponding temperature cycles. Measuring the resistance of the resistor at any time provides an indication of the cutting conditions to which the monitored portion of the tool has been subjected and thereby an indication of the remaining life of the portion of the cutting edge of the tool being monitored.

Abstract: The method proposed for the purification of flue gases containing high concentrations of mercury, in particular flue gases from sewage-sludge incineration plants, comprises a preliminary purification stage in which a solid adsorbant in the form of finely particulate activated charcoal, activated coke, furnace coke or molecular sieves is blown into the gas stream and the impurity-coated adsorbant subsequently removed by means of a fabric filter, followed by the customary wet-desulphurization of the flue gases and precipitation of the gypsum in the gases. Preferably, 90 % of the flue dust is removed by a dust-removal unit before this preliminary purification stage.

Abstract: For opening the watch case (1) by extracting the glass (2), this case is fixed in an enclosure (3), after having removed its crown and its stem. A sucker (4) is then applied onto the glass, this sucker being capable of being operated from outside the enclosure using a handle (40). By using a pump controlled by a lever (37), the enclosure is subjected to a defined overpressure, after which a pulling force (A) is exerted on the sucker until the glass is extracted. Since the overpressure is the same outside and inside the case, no displacement of air, and therefore no damage to the mechanism of the watch, is produced when the glass is separated from the case. <IMAGE>
