Inventor: ADAMSON JOHN
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 1990-09-20
Abstract: The present specification discloses a wheel comprising a central hub (1) and an outer rim (3) interconnected by a web (5). A pair of annular braking discs (9,11) are mounted one on each side of the web (5), each annular braking disc (9,11) being secured to the web (5) by at least two bolt arrangements (13). 
     Each bolt arrangement (13) passes as a close fit through aligned apertures (17) in the braking discs (9,11) and with clearance through an aperture (7) in the web (5), and each bolt arrangement is offset radially rearwardly of the wheel with respect to the centre of the aperture (7) in the web (5). Preferably each bolt arrangement (13) engages the radially inner section of the edge of an aperture (7) in the web (5) so that the braking discs (9,11) are positioned correctly when cool preventing any cumulative imbalance in the wheel due to the braking discs (9,11) expanding and thus moving relative to the web (5) under the effect of the heat generated under braking.

Abstract: Spent aqueous alkanolamine solution containing free alkanolamine, alkali metal salts of anions which form heat stable salts with such alkanolamine and heat stable alkanolamine salts is reactivated by contacting the solution with an acidic cation ion exchange resin to remove alkali metal cations and alkanolamine cations resulting from (1) protonation of free alkanolamine with hydrogen on the resin and (2) the alkanolamine salts, followed by eluting the resin with aqueous ammonia to preferentially displace alkanolamine from the resin and thereafter eluting the resin with a dilute mineral acid to displace the ammonia, metal cations and any remaining alkanolamine. The displaced alkanoamine is recovered for reuse. The aqueous ammonia may also be recovered for reuse.

Abstract: The collector consists of a roof-shaped hull (1) serving as support for a front panel (2) and a rear panel (3), of elongate rectangular form and of the same dimensions as the faces of the said hull (1), and on which panels are mounted photovoltaic cells or other means of collecting solar energy, and whose longitudinal upper boundaries are articulated on an axis of rotation coinciding with the ridge edge (HH') of the hull (1), the said hull (1) forming, together with its support, an assembly which, when manoeuvred by azimuthal orienting mechanisms, can rotate about a vertical axis (VV'). 
<??>This solar collector is also equipped with two different orienting systems:
 - The first system, operating in azimuth, enables the mobile assembly to rotate about its vertical axis (VV') whilst maintaining its flat solar collector facing the sun.
 - The second system, operating in elevation, enables the collectors of the front (2) and rear (3) panels to rotate about their common horizontal axis (HH') whilst both retaining inclinations normal to the solar rays. This latter orienting system constitutes the main improvement made by the present invention to this solar collector device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant d'éliminer des substances actives de réduction-oxydation contenues dans des fluides aqueux, partiellement aqueux ou non aqueux. L'invention consiste à mettre en contact le fluide à traiter avec un agent rédox-actif qui est insoluble dans le fluide, oxydant ainsi des substances rédox-actives d'interférence. Des agents de transfert d'électrons peuvent également être utilisés. L'agent résiduel est éliminé du fluide traité sur la base de son insolubilité, de sorte qu'il ne subsiste aucune activité rédox résiduelle. L'invention est utile pour l'élimination de substances rédox-actives d'interférence contenues dans des échantillons liquides lorsque des analytes dans l'échantillon doivent être mesurés en utilisant des techniques chimiques de réduction-oxydation et que ces substances rédox-actives d'interférence, qui sont éliminées par le procédé décrit, interfèrent dans l'analyse de réduction-oxydation. En outre, cette invention est particulièrement utile pour effectuer un pretraitement du sang, du sérum, du plasma ou autre fluide corporel avant analyse ou autre utilisation de ces fluides, lorsque la présence de substances rédox-actives constitue une interférence dans cette analyse ou utilisation.
