Abstract: In a paper recycling process suspended (S) cellular material is recovered in a series of selective floatation stages (1, 2) from which rejected material (R1, R2) is removed. The quantity of material rejected from the first stage is pre-set to be 3-5% less (D) than the maximum possible. The quantity of material rejected from the second stage is pre-set to compensate for difference in first-stage reduction. The floatation steps (1, 2) are conducted within one or more stages. Each floatation stage results in a proportion of rejected material (R) and a portion of recovered material (A). Each floatation stage takes place within a series arrangement of floatation cells if present. The paper fibre suspension is subject to further dispersal between floatation stages (1, 2) with a consistency of between 15 and 35% which is further treated with chemical bleach.

Abstract: A drive axle assembly for a low floor vehicle utilizes a single input gear assembly
to drive a pair of laterally spaced wheel ends. The input gear assembly is positioned next
to one of the wheel ends so that the vehicle floor can be lowered to facilitate passenger
access to the vehicle. Each wheel end includes a gear reduction assembly (44) with a ring gear (80)
rotatably mounted within a gear housing (82). A drive gear (56) is operatively coupled to the input
gear assembly and is in meshing engagement with the ring gear (80). The gear reduction
assembly (44) also includes an output or driven gear (86), which is larger than the drive gear, to
provide the desired gear reduction. The driven gear (86) is also in meshing engagement with
the ring gear (80). A pair of idler gears (90) is rotatably mounted within the gear housing (82) and are in
meshing engagement with both the drive (56) and driven gear (86). The idler gears (90) and drive gear (56) do
not have a common centerline. The assembly thus provides toothed contact via three gear
sets combinations, which equalizes loading and eliminates the need for support bearings for
the drive and driven gears.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a read-out operation from a magneto-optical recording medium, comprising a storage layer and a read-out layer, wherein an expanded domain leading to a reading pulse is generated in the read-out layer by copying a mark region from the storage layer to the read-out layer upon heating by a radiation power and with the aid of the external magnetic field. A switching time of the external magnetic field is derived from the reading pulse and a space run-length is determined on the basis of a time delay between the switching time and the reading pulse. The delay time need not have a fixed period such that space increments smaller than the channel bit length can be used for space run length coding. This results in a significantly improved resolution.
