Title: A method and system for recycling of organic matter.
Inventor: SCHMID WALTER
IPC: C05F17/02
Filed: 1990-09-18
Abstract: There is proposed a process and an apparatus for utilising organic material, in which the material is suitably comminuted and subsequently processed in mixing and reaction steps to give utilisable compost. 
<??>The apparatus (100) essentially comprises a heatable fermenter (70) equipped inside with a stirrer (75). For a more or less closed process circuit, the comminuted material, as so-called unfermented material, is fed from a feed shaft (35) to a conveying shaft (60) designed as a heat exchanger, where it is heated in a suitable manner. Further feeding of unfermented material feeds the unfermented material which has already been heated to the fermenter (70), where it is mixed by means of the stirrer (75), with further heating. 
<??>During the entire process circuit, the fermented material which is formed in the fermenter 70 can be admixed to the unfermented material in a certain ratio during the feeding of further unfermented material in the form of a so-called bacterial inoculum. 
<??>The gases which are formed in the container during the fermentation process can either be used as process energy in the apparatus (100) or, alternatively, fed through a pipe 80'' to a different plant for providing energy.

Title: Device for presetting a tool nose by means of a pneumatic nozzle
Inventor: BRENNER MAX
IPC: B23Q15/22
Filed: 1979-05-14
Abstract: The purpose of the device is to preset a tool nose (6) to a reference dimension without damaging the sensitive cutting edge.

Patent CH-655845-A5 (CH)
Inventor: SUTTER FRANZ
IPC: A61C5/08
Filed: 1983-11-17
Abstract: An axially extending screw pin to be screwed into a tooth has a threaded part and an engagement part with a slot in one end. The slot extends in the axial direction of the pin toward the threaded part with the axially extending surfaces of the slot converging inwardly toward its base which has a concave, semi-circular surface. The converging sides are convex surfaces defining a quarter arc of a circle. A driven member with an engagement projection at one end shaped complementary to the slot, is disengageably connectible with the screw pin. A gripping member is axially displaceable positioned on the engagement projection end of the driven member. The gripping member is freely rotatable relative to the driven member and has resilient gripping tongues for holding a screw pin relative to the driven member. The driven member is mounted in a drive member so that is can be rotated about its axis. With the screw pin held by the gripping member, the engagement projection is inserted into the slot and threads the screw pin into a tooth. When a stop on the screw pin engages the tooth after it has been driven in for a given depth, the engagement projection backs out of the slot discontinuing the driving action.
