Inventor: WALTHER ULI
IPC: F16B39/30
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: The concrete screw of the invention reduces the driving torque required, reduces shear failure, and provides increased pull-out resistance. The screw has Hi-Low threads, the major thread being of greater diameter than the minor thread, the threads having a pitch displacement at least equal to the diameter of the screw shank. Helical grooves of opposite rotational hand from the threads extend the length of the threaded portion of the screw, and have a pitch displacement at least two times the diameter of the screw shank. In a limited portion adjacent the tip of the screw, and extending generally no more than 1/3 of the length of the threads, are intermediate helical counter-rotation grooves. The intermediate grooves may be adjacent the principal grooves to produce a W-shaped notch in the threads. Preferably, the W-shaped notch is asymmetrical in the direction of rotation of the grooves.

Title: Method and apparatus for removing impurities from waste water by electroflotation
Inventor: SUOMINEN HANNU L
IPC: C02F1/463
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing impurities from waste water by electroflotation. The waste water to be cleaned is conducted through an electrolytic cell. Electrolysis is performed between two electrod es (1, 2) of different electronegativities, such that the more electronegative electrode (1), which is non-wearing in a cleaning process, is used for producing hydrogen gas and hydroxyl ions from water. The less electronegativ e electrode (2), which is an active, wearing electrode in a cleaning process, is used for producing metal ions in a solution to be cleaned. In addition to th is basic reaction, a desired oxidation-reduction reaction is initiated in the cell in a strictly controlled electric field for removing one or more designated impurities from cleaned water.
