Patent ZA-849089-B (ZA)
Title: Bogie for cable-drawn vehicle
Inventor: MCQUEEN NORMAN
IPC: B61B12/00
Filed: 1984-11-21
Abstract: Motion is imparted to a car (12) by a cable (10) that runs along the length of a guideway (14) in sheaves (22). To accommodate directional changes in the guideway (14), the sheaves (22) are oriented in a range of configurations, including orientations (22C, 22D) above the cable (10). A guiderail (30) is located on a wall of the guideway (14) in an upper portion thereof and imparts guidance to the car (12) via a rail follower (38) on the car. A cable clamp (54) attaches the car (12) to the cable (10) and displaces the cable (10) a large amount from the sheaves (22) to avoid impingement of the clamp (54) and sheaves (22). The cable clamp (54) is disposed so as to occupy the area defined by the rail follower (38). Cable supports (56, 56), disposed forward and rearward of the cable clamp (54) displace the cable (10) by a small amount from the sheaves (22) and replace the cable (10) onto the sheaves (22). The cable supports (56, 56) are disposed so as to occupy the area defined by the cable as displaced (55) by the cable clamp (54).

Patent ZA-933712-B (ZA)
Title: Retention device
Inventor: SCHNEIDER BARRY L
IPC: A61M27/00
Filed: 1993-05-27
Abstract: A retention device (10), particularly useful for drainage tubes and the like, having a pad (11) for adhesive attachment to a patient's skin at the exit/entry site for a post-surgical drainage tube. The device includes a retainer body (13) secured to the pad and provided with a strap (14) to be looped and tightened about the drainage tube for immobilizing that tube. A passage in the body receives the free end of the strap and a latching mechanism (28) prevents retraction of the strap unless a pair of side flanges (26) of the body are squeezed towards each other to alter the configuration of the body's top wall (27) and cause upward disengagement of a restraining pawl from the ratchet teeth of the strap. In one form of the invention, the strap is oriented horizontally and the passage is spaced well above the pad so that the horizontal plane of the passage substantially bisects the loop along its axis, thereby allowing portions of the loop to be located above and below the entrance to the passage. In another embodiment, the strap is oriented in a vertical plane and the pawl is cammed laterally and upwardly to disengage the strap when the side flanges are squeezed towards each other. <IMAGE>

Title: Treatment of municipal solid waste
Inventor: PORTER JOHN ALAN
IPC: B01F29/64
Filed: 2002-05-03
Granted: 2003-06-18
Abstract: An apparatus and process for the separation, recovery and recycling of municipal solid waste (MSW) in which hot water 48 is added to shredded and homogenized MSW 2 as it enters a rotating feed preparation drum 34 equipped with internal lifter blades 36 . The blades 36 and rotation of the drum 34 cause mixing and pulping of the MSW before discharge into a rotating thermal processor 56 also equipped with lifter blades 58 and cone section 64 , and in which the moist MSW 2 is heated by heating the hot gases in the processor by a flame from burner 62 which converts the moisture in the MSW to steam. The steam permeates through the MSW as it is turned and lifted in the thermal processor 56 , causing further pulping. The now cooked and treated MSW 2 is then fed to a conveyor 68 for transportation to a trommel screen for the separation of recyclable components. In a preferred embodiment plugs 70, 72 of MSW are maintained at the exit and entrance to the thermal processor 56 and act to provide a seal to maintain and control the temperature within the thermal processor 56 by reducing the egress of steam therefrom.

IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2004-06-12
Granted: 2007-03-21
Abstract: The method presented accounts for three-dimensional effects when deghosting marine seismic data. The method relies on having second-order spatial derivatives in the cross-line direction available. The second-order cross-line derivative can be estimated directly or through indirect measurements of other wavefield quantities and by using wave-equation techniques to compute the desired term. The method preferably employs either a multicomponent streamer towed in the vicinity of the sea surface, a twin-streamer configuration near the sea-surface, or a configuration of three streamers that are separated either vertically or horizontally to estimate the second-order vertical derivative of pressure.
