Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for treating contaminated materials, specially infected materials, which are fed to endless screws (5, 12) via a feed hopper (2) and are heated, disinfected or sterilized in addition to being discharged through an ejection system (21). The invention is characterized in that the materials are supplied to a first endless screw which is configured as a heating screw (5), wherein the material is also compacted in such a way that a sealing material plug (25) is produced at the end of said screw; the material is released into a treatment chamber (8) at the end of the heating screw (5) where it is expanded; the material in the treatment chamber (8) travels to a second endless screw which is configured as a treatment screw (12); burst of energy are introduced into the treatment chamber (8) into the treatment screw (12) in a controlled manner, steam is supplied or generated and an overpressure and the required temperature are produced and maintained and the material is compacted at the end of the treatment screw (12) into a second sealing material plug (26) so that the overpressure between both sealing material plugs (25, 26) of the screws (5, 12) can be maintained during a specific period of time. One advantage of the invention is that this method enables overpressure to be maintained between both high-sealing material plugs, which are continuously and automatically formed, over a long distance during a specific period of time.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mélange thermoplastique à base de biopolymères pour la fabrication de corps moulés biodégradables présentant des caractéristiques améliorées, la production de ce mélange ainsi que son utilisation. Ce mélange thermoplastique à base de biopolymères, notamment à base d'amidon, est caractérisé en ce qu'il contient de la lignine et sert à produire des corps moulés biodégradables présentant des caractéristiques améliorées, notamment des propriétés mécaniques améliorées. Ce mélange s'obtient de préférence en préparant et en mélangeant: A) 100 parties en poids d'un ou plusieurs matériaux polymères biodégradables physiologiquement tolérables et aptes au traitement thermoplastique, du groupe des polysaccharides des protéines, de préférence d'au moins un amidon natif choisi arbitrairement, chimiquement modifié, fermentatif, recombiné et/ou produit par biotransformation, et/ou de dérivés des amidons précités; B) 10 à 100 parties en poids d'eau; C) 1 à 100 parties en poids de lignine; D) éventuellement jusqu'à 50 parties en poids d'au moins un plastifiant; et E) éventuellement jusqu'à 200 parties en poids, de préférence pas plus de 100 parties en poids, d'autres additifs usuels. On thermoplastifie les constituants en introduisant de l'énergie thermique et mécanique dans le mélange, de préférence à haute température et en exerçant simultanément des forces de cisaillement sur le mélange. L'utilisation de la lignine avec des matériaux thermoplastiques à base de biopolymères, notamment à base d'amidon, permet étonnamment d'obtenir des matériaux thermoplastiques améliorés présentant des avantages, notamment au niveau de leurs propriétés mécaniques ou de leurs autres caractéristiques fonctionnelles.

Abstract: A bench having a modular structure and comprising several seats, which rest on a longitudinal beam supported on at least two feet. An individual seat is formed by a seat panel which can be complemented by a backrest and lateral armrests, as well as tabletops. Benches of this kind can be used, for example, in airports and ferry terminals as well as long-distance train stations. The seat panels, backrests and tabletops are removably fixed to the longitudinal beam by the use of retaining plates. The feet and armrests are removably fixed directly to the longitudinal beam. The longitudinal beam extends along the full length of the bench, consists preferably of a double-walled aluminum hollow profile and has a regular, triangular cross-section with three longitudinal side faces as well as longitudinal grooves, situated in the area of the edges. The retaining plates are pieces of U-shaped rail sections cut to the required length. A retaining plate connected to a seat panel or a table top rests on the upper, first side face of the longitudinal beam, while retaining plate connected to the backrest contacts the rear surface of the longitudinal beam. The principal advantages of the bench are its variable configurations, the fact that it can be assembled at the place of use and that functional units can be easily replaced. Considerably less transport space is required for the delivery of unassembled functional units.

Abstract: A method of effecting payment with a cash card that includes an electronic purse, such as a smart card that includes a chip and with which money can be deposited in said chip. When used for payment the card is read in a pay terminal, such as a cashpoint teller or automatic teller, and the payment sum is subtracted from the amount stored in the chip. The card includes data relating to a cash card number to which the card is tied. When the card is read in the cash card reader of a pay terminal the cash card number is read and is registered to enable a cash card transaction to be carried out, and the amount available on the chip is also read and registered. The pay terminal subtracts the amount concerned from the chip only when the chip contains an amount sufficient to cover the whole of the sum concerned and remains in the cash card reader for a period of time sufficient for the transaction to be carried out. The pay terminal then erases cash card number that was registered. The pay terminal is caused to carry out a conventional cash card transaction when the chip does not contain sufficient funds to cover the whole of the amount concerned, or if it is not left in the cash card reader for a sufficient length of time.

Abstract: A fastening bolt fastens flanges between a bolt head and a nut attached on the threaded portion of the shaft via spherical washers. The fastening bolt has a cavity formed within the shaft. By application of pressure in the cavity with a hydraulic fluid supplied through a hydraulic pressure port in a plug, the shaft is extended and the fastening bolt becomes unfastened condition. In the unfastened condition, a gap is created between flange and nut, and the nut and the fastening bolt are free to rotate each other, therefore, the nut can be removed easily by hand from the fastening bolt, even the bolt is large in size. The fastening force is adjustable by the width of the gap before releasing hydraulic pressure in the cavity. By releasing hydraulic pressure in the cavity, the fastened condition is obtained. Conversion between fastened condition and unfastened condition can be made quickly and easily. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hardware-efficient transceiver. The transceiver includes a digital circuit for converting baseband signals to intermediate frequency signals. A signal source provides a first periodic signal of a first frequency. A direct digital synthesizer provides a second periodic signal of a second frequency from the first periodic reference signal. An upconverter circuit digitally upconverts the baseband signals to digital intermediate frequency signals using the second periodic signal A digital-to-analog converter converts the digital intermediate frequency signals to analog intermediate frequency signals using the first periodic signal. In the transceiver implementation, the digital circuit upconverts a first transmit signal from a first frequency to a second frequency in response to the second periodic signal and provides a digital transmit signal in response thereto. A second circuit is provided for converting the digital transmit signal to an analog transmit signal. Transmit and receive circuitry are provided for transmitting the analog transmit signal and receiving an analog receive signal, respectively. In a specific embodiment, the analog receive signal is digitally downconverted to provide a digital receive signal in response to a second periodic signal. A significant feature of the invention resides in the provision of the first and second periodic signals with a single local oscillator. A direct digital synthesizer is included for generating one of the reference signals from the output of the local oscillator. The transmit circuit includes a delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter having the first periodic signal as an input The delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter has a low-bit digital-to-analog converter and a delta-sigma modulator. In the illustrative embodiment, the low-bit digital-to-analog converter is a 1-bit digital-to-analog converter and the delta-sigma modulator is a sixth order delta-sigma modulator. The delta-sigma modulator includes amplifiers with approximately the following gains: 3/2, -3/4, 1/8.
