Abstract: A static mixer conduit comprises a longitudinally elongated conduit having tabs that are arranged with respective first edges adjacent the conduit wall and respective opposed second edges that are spaced radially inward from the conduit wall. These tabs are operable as fluid foils so that with fluid flowing through the conduit, greater fluid pressures manifest against the tab's upstream faces relative to reduced fluid pressures against their downstream faces. The resultant pressure difference in the fluid adjacent, respectively, the mutually opposed faces of each of the tabs causes a longitudinal flow of fluid through the conduit over and past each said tab to be redirected. As a result of the redirection, there is introduced a radial cross-flow component to the longitudinal flow of fluid through the conduit. In particular, the mixer further comprises a central body extending generally coaxially along at least a portion of the longitudinal extent of the conduit and defining between the central body's surface and the conduit wall an annular space confining the radial cross-flow. A method is also disclosed that comprises static mixing, over a longitudinal extent of a mixing volume having an annular cross-section, wherein radial cross-stream mixing in a longitudinal fluid flow results from flow-redirecting tabs redirecting a longitudinal fluid flow from an outer, fluid containment boundary surface, across an intervening space having an annular cross-section towards an inner boundary surface.

Abstract: L'invention vise à éliminer, en un temps court et défini, l'énergie magnétique résiduelle accumulée dans une bobine (1), au moyen d'un circuit de roue libre monté en parallèle. Ce dernier comprend un couplage en série parallèle à la bobine (1), qui regroupe une première diode (2) et un premier transistor de commutation (4) auquel une résistance (3) non linéaire est connectée en parallèle. L'excitation du premier transistor de commutation (4) s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un montage en parallèle comprenant un condensateur (6) et une première résistance ohmique (7) à laquelle un second transistor de commutation (9) est connecté en parallèle. Lorsqu'une surtension de rupture intervient au niveau de la bobine (1), le second transistor de commutation (9) est déclenché de manière forcée, ce qui bloque de manière fiable le premier transistor de commutation (4), afin que l'énergie résiduelle soit ensuite éliminée par l'intermédiaire de la résistance non linéaire (3).

Abstract: The stock inlet action, at a papermaking machine, has a distributor to spread the pulp suspension over the working width of the papermaking machine, using a number of openings or channels leading to the outlet slit across the machine width. The distributor separates at least part of the suspension flow into mixture part-flows, where each is formed into at least two control flows of different densities (CH,CL). To correct the paper weight profile in the finished paper material, the density (CM) of each mixture part-flow is individually adjusted by altering the throughputs (QH,QL) of the control flows. The throughputs (QH,QL) of the control flows are matched together, so that the throughput (QM) of the mixture part-flows remains unchanged or is restored to the required value.

The cultivation medium suitably contains an assimilable carbon source, a digestible nitrogen source, inorganic salts and other nutrients necessary for the growth of the microorganism at a pH of about 5-9, temperature of about 10-40 DEG C and for a duration of about 1-10 days. The preferred microorganism are Kurthia sp. 538-KA26, 538-17H4, 538-51F9 and 538-2A 13 (DSM No. 10609, 10608, 10610 and 10607, respectively), which are also new, and as such represent a further aspect of the present invention. The so-produced d-biotin is one of the essential vitamins for the nutrition of animals, plants and microorganisms, and is important as a medicine or food additive. It is produced in particularly high yield by the process of the present invention.

Abstract: In certain video scrambling systems, composite video is imperfectly separated into luminance and chrominance and scrambled in such a way that an unstable residual chroma color subcarrier remains in the luminance channel. When this unstable residual subcarrier subsequently is summed with stabilized chroma, the resultant composite color signal has small but visible amounts of color subcarrier instability that causes a noisy color signal when descrambled or when displayed on a television display device. A coring circuit is disclosed which provides means for substantially removing the unstable residual chroma subcarrier from the luminance channel, thereby substantially reducing color subcarrier instabilities. An improved coring technique also is disclosed using adaptive chroma coring, which is achieved by adjusting the amount of coring applied in accordance with the amplitude of the chrominance signal. Thus, if the program video input has high levels of color saturation, the chroma coring is electronically turned up. Conversely, if the input video program is essentially in black and white (no color content), then the coring circuit essentially is electronically turned off. The coring techniques also are applicable to enhance the luminance-chrominance separation of video comb filters frequently used in video circuits such as, for example, television sets and video recorders.
