Abstract: In a process and assembly to produce water of pharmaceutical quality by reverse osmosis or nanofiltration, the water is fed to a first osmosis or nanofiltration stage to yield permeate and concentrate. The first-stage is maintained in continued operation while the resultant concentrate is fed to a second stage, which is disconnected from the first at intervals. While disconnected, the flow of water is reversed through the second stage membrane which is flushed clean.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sensing ultrasound images of an object (1). The method is characterized in that an ultra-sound head (3) is moved along the object so as to sense individual image subdomains (13) of said object (1). An evaluation subdomain (14) is analyzed in order to determine the extent of the object (1) or the spacing (deltax) between the individual image subdomains (13). This evaluation subdomain (14) is sensed perpendicularly to the sensed image subdomains (13); that is, it represents a domain of the object (1) which overlaps at least two image subdomains (13). In this way, allocation within the individual image subdomains (13) can be determined by using the structures of the object (1) thus obtained. To this end, in particular a vertical column structure (11) of the object (1) (evaluation subdomain (14)) is analyzed, thus enabling allocation of a plurality of individual horizontal line structures (10), i.e. individual "layers" of the object (1) (image subdomains (13)) among themselves.

On utilise un ou plusieurs mélangeurs dynamiques (4, 5) à chaque étape et l'on ajoute le gaz en un ou plusieurs points (13, 14) relatifs aux mélangeurs, le gaz se déplaçant de ce fait, avec le liquide, dans un cocourant turbulent associé aux mélangeurs. Dans une réalisation préférée, on ajoute tout le gaz au cours de la dernière étape, on sépare le gaz en excès dans un séparateur gaz/liquide (7, 8) au cours de chaque étape, le gaz en excès issu de chaque étape reste présent au cours de l'étape suivante et on soumet le gaz excédentaire final de la dernière étape à une purification et à un recyclage ou on l'évacue dans l'air ambiant. Le processus peut être entièrement continu, c'est à dire que le liquide à traiter est extrait, par exemple, par pompage à partir d'un réservoir d'alimentation (37) au cours d'une ou plusieurs étapes et amené dans un réservoir récepteur ou analogue.

Abstract: A system and method for filling voids between optical signals during switching in an optical telecommunications system. The optical switch includes a void filling and scheduling software program resident in memory and executable by a processor. The memory also includes the wavelength, position in time, duration for each void between previously scheduled optical data packets. As a new optical data packet arrives at the optical switch, the void filling and scheduling software program will calculate the available delay for each delay line as measured from the arrival time of the new optical signal and schedule the new optical signal within a particular void if (1) one of the available delays falls within the position in time of one of the voids and (2) if the duration of the new optical signal measured from the particular available delay fits within the duration of that void. If the new optical data packet will not fit within any of the existing voids, the void filling and scheduling software program will use a conventional scheduling routing to schedule the new optical data packet on an output fiber. <IMAGE>
