Patent ZA-967298-B (ZA)
Title: Air separation method and apparatus for producing nitrogen
Inventor: NAUMOVITZ JOSEPH P
IPC: C01B21/04
Filed: 1996-08-28
Abstract: Nitrogen is produced by feeding cooled, compressed purified air to a distillation column (14) to produce O-rich liquid bottoms (26) and a N-rich overhead vapour (20). Liquid (28) with N2 content greater than that of the bottoms is extracted from the column, and this and the bottoms are expanded and used to cool and at least partly condense the overhead vapour. The expanded bottoms stream (38) is indirectly heat-exchanged with feed air, and the expanded second liquid stream (40) is compressed, cooled and returned to the column bottom. The appts. in which the above process is performed is also claimed. A main heat-exchanger (12) cools feed air, partially warms the vaporised bottoms stream and fully cools the vaporised second liquid stream. A condenser condenses the overhead, returns part as reflux and vaporises the liquid streams, and is connected to the main exchanger, via a compressor for the second vaporised stream. There are two expansion valves (32,34) between the condenser and column for the liquid streams.

Title: Flotation system and elements relative thereto
Inventor: SWAN PETER INATIUS
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 2000-08-15
Granted: 2004-06-16
Abstract: A method of purifying a liquid by dissolved air flotation (DAF) in which a liquid, saturated with dissolved air under pressure is released directly into the liquid to be treated vis at least one injection nozzle 4, in which the degree of opening of the nozzle 4 may be remotely varied, thereby providing the facility to remotely adjust the pressure of the air solutionised liquid. Also disclosed is means to combine flotation and filtration wherein the impurities in the water rise to the surface of the liquid due to the flotation process, and the liquid flows over the top 35 of a division wall into a body of liquid 33 above the top 9 of a filter bed. The liquid may then pass through the filter bed 2 into a filter distribution and collecting system 3. A coagulant may be used. A method of removing the accumulated float from dissolved air purification systems by using wipers is also claimed.

Title: Rear interlock
Inventor: WHITE DAVID MARTIN
IPC: E05B65/46
Filed: 2001-10-05
Granted: 2005-07-27
Abstract: An interlock for a stack of drawers. A pair of drawer slides mounts each drawer, the interlock assembly being fitted to the rear of one of the drawer slides. A housing has a plate slidably supported thereon biased towards the rear of the slide. An actuator having an actuating surface co-operates with an actuator follower slidably supported in the slide member for movement at right angles to the movement of the plate. Releasable latching means extends between the housing and plate. Releasable catching means extend between the plate and the actuator. When a drawer is moved towards an open position, the catching means causes the plate to move to a blocking position where it can be held by the latching means, causing the actuating surface to co-operate with a follower surface on the actuator follower to move the actuator follower from a first position to a blocking position.

Title: Alternating potential electrostatic separator of particles with different physical properties
IPC: B03C7/04
Filed: 1982-05-17
Granted: 1985-11-20
Abstract: The separator charges the particles to be separated and passes them through an alternating electric field which has a non-uniform intensity in a direction perpendicular to the forward direction, and which also has field lines curved in the same direction. The particles which move along the curved field lines due to their charge are thus subjected to a centrifugal force which effects their separation. The separator includes a pair of conductive electrodes, the first being substantially horizontal or possibly at an angle from the horizontal and the second mounted facing the first at a predetermined angle to it. The electrodes may be planar or curved. The field is supplied by an ac source operating in the range of 3 to 1000 hz. A mechanical vibrator attached to the first electrode imparts the forward motion to the particles.

Granted: 1990-04-12
Abstract: In a telecine chain, the scanning raster is rotated by applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the axis of the electron beam, and the distortion introduced by such rotation is compensated for. A rotate coil is located about the scanning tube the coil formed so that current passing through it induces the magnetic field and thus effects the rotation of the raster. The degree of rotation is within limits dependent on the current, and the direction of rotation is dependent on the direction of current flow. There is pref. an Absolute Angle Generator which has an input common with the input which controls the current through the Rotate Coil and which provides outputs for the compensation functions. Focus compensation is effected by applying a stimulus to the focus system which is based on the degree of rotation being effected.
