Abstract: A desiccant media containing cartridge (22) for use in a gas drying
apparatus adapted to firstly function in a gas drying cycle in
which a moist gas is permitted to pass upwardly through said
desiccant media whereby at least a portion of the moisture is
removed from said gas, and adapted to secondly function in a
desiccant media purge cycle in which a portion of said dried gas is
allowed to pass back downwardly through said desiccant media to

desiccant purge cycle at the bottom of the desiccant media, which
means comprise a purge tube (30) extending vertically partially through
the desiccant media, and a flapper valve (40) adjacent to an upper end
of the purge tube adapted to close and restrict flow of gas through

Abstract: The invention provides that an existing underground pipe (52) is
replaced by pulling a cutting device (10) through the existing
pipe (52) by means of a strong steel stranded cable, and at the
same time pulling the replacement pipe (26) along behind the

Abstract: A disk device including a guide (6), formed in a housing,
having an inclined guide portion and a straight-line guide
portion. A moving member (7) moves along the guide. The moving
member is affixed to a wire (14), and the wire is wound upon a
biasing pulley (10). A small-diameter pulley (11) is formed
integrally with the biasing pulley, and a spring (13) is provided
at a biasing wire wound upon the small-diameter pulley. When the
moving member is pushed into the disk device by a cartridge, a
shutter (5) is opened. The moving member is also used to eject
the cartridge. Even when the resilient force of the spring is
large, the reaction force, produced as a result of cartridge
insertion, is small, and the ejection stroke of the cartridge is
large. In a conventional disk device for loading a cartridge
therein, both a mechanism for opening the shutter of the
cartridge, and a mechanism for ejecting the cartridge are
required. When these mechanisms are formed into a single
mechanism, the reaction force, produced when inserting the
cartridge, is large, and a sufficiently long ejection stroke
cannot be obtained. The disk device of the invention makes it
possible to overcome these problems.

Abstract: The present invention provides a traveling hearth
furnance and an operating method thereof, which, when
stacking a layer consisting of a mixture of oxides such a
fine iron ore and a fine solid reducing material onto a
horizontally traveling hearth and reducing the oxides
through radiant heat transfer from above the hearth, is
based on a process comprising the steps of melting the
reduction product in the course of up to a discharge port,
and causing aggregation and separation of slag in the
reduction product. 
     When stowing the layer of the mixture consisting of a
fine iron ore and a fine solid reducing material onto the
horizontally traveling hearth and reducing the fine iron
ore by radiant heat transfer from above the hearth, a fine
coal char is first stacked prior to stacking the mixture
layer onto the hearth, and melting the reduction product
on the hearth at least once. 
     The mixture powder containing the fine iron ore and
the fine solid reducing material is divided into small
blocks and the hearth is dotted with these small blocks so
as not to be in direct contact with the hearth via the
fine solid reducing material, and the reduced iron is
melted on the hearth.

Abstract: The invention concerns contactless smart cards. In order to facilitate the fixing of an integrated circuit chip in a contactless smart card, and in particular the chip connection with the antenna incorporated in the card, the method consists in soldering on the chip contact pads (12a, 12b) a gold wire (30) with at least one end projecting above the chip. The wire (30) is preferably soldered while the chip is still part of a semiconductor wafer. The wire can be soldered between two contact pads on a common chip; it can also be soldered between two contact pads of two adjacent chips on the wafer and then sawed during dicing. When the chip is incorporated in the card, it is pressed against the antenna so that the soldered wire is contacted with the coiled or printed antenna feeder end.
