Abstract: The invention relates to a boring device comprising a rotary percussion external hammer drill (1) which is arranged outside the borehole (2) and with which boring energy can be generated. The boring device also comprises a boring rod (5) which is connected to the rotary percussion external hammer drill (1) on one side and with which the boring energy can be transferred from the rotary percussion external hammer drill (1) in a direction toward the bottom (3) of the borehole. In addition, a bore-crown (7) is provided which is connected to the end of the boring rod (5) located at the bottom of the borehole, and with which the boring energy transferred thereupon by the boring rod (5) can be converted into a boring advance. In order to improve the flushing of the borehole and the removal of drillings which accumulate on the bottom (3) of the borehole during boring advance, the inventive boring rod (5) has an inner rod (4) with which the boring energy can be transferred from the rotary percussion external hammer drill (1) to the bore-crown (7), and in which a first flushing channel (10) is configured which extends from a first flushing medium feed connection (11) up to the bore-crown (7). In addition, the boring rod comprises an outer rod (6) which encircles said inner rod (4) in an interspaced manner and which constructs a second flushing channel (26) between the inner casing surface thereof and the outer casing surface of the inner rod (4). Said second flushing channel is connected, on the entry side, to a second flushing medium feed connection (27) and is connected, on the outlet side, to the annulus (17) configured between the outer casing surface of the outer boring rod (6) and the borehole wall (18) via the borings (31) which penetrate the outer rod (6).

This addition of an alkaline solution or an alkaline solution mixture has a number of advantageous effects. These are, i.a. 1. The dissolving respectively expelling heat of the agent is reduced, raising the output figure. 2. The agent vapor generated is very pure. A dephlegmator is obviated. 3. The alkaline solution makes steel surfaces inert when sealed from air and in a high vaccum, thereby obviating corrosion inhibitors. 4. The viscosity of the solvent is reduced, decreasing pump operation.

Title: A direct smelting process
Inventor: DRY RODNEY JAMES
IPC: C21B11/00
Filed: 2000-08-07
Abstract: A process for direct smelting metalliferous feed material is disclosed. Iron oxides are partially reduced in a solid state in a pre-reduction vessel. The partially reduced iron oxides are smelted to molten iron in a direct smelting vessel which contains a molten bath of iron and slag and is supplied with a solid carbonaceous material as a source of reductant and energy and with an oxygen-containing gas for post-combusting carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated in the vessel. The direct smelting step generates an off-gas that contains sulphur and the off-gas is released from the direct smelting vessel. Part only of the off-gas released from the direct smelting vessel is used in the pre-reduction step to pre-reduce iron oxides in the pre-reduction vessel. Part only of the off-gas is used in the pre-reduction step in order to control the amount of sulphur that is returned with the partially reduced iron oxides to the direct smelting vessel.

Title: Method for producing shaped, activated charcoal
Inventor: GUDERIAN JOACHIM
IPC: C01B32/384
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing shaped, activated charcoal. According to the method, after being ground, carbon-bearing material, or a mixture of several carbon-bearing materials are rendered homogenous with a binding agent which contains water, or a mixture of several binding agents, at least one of which contains water. The mixture of carbon-bearing material and binding agent is then formed into shaped bodies. According to the invention, in order to consolidate the grain formation, these are dried until they exhibit a maximum total water content of 3% by wt. in relation to the shaped body. The shaped bodies which have been formed and dried in this manner are then subjected to a carbonization and subsequently a gas activation process.

Title: Device for receiving and dispensing an active composition in a dosed manner into a washing machine, a linen drier or dishwasher
Inventor: RODD TIMOTHY
IPC: D06F39/02
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: An apparatus for holding and dispensing metered doses of an active composition into a washing, drying or dishwashing machine has a supply chamber which holds at least double the amount of an individual dose of the active composition. A dispensing chamber is connected to the supply chamber by a passage in order to receive an individual dose of the active composition and to discharge the composition by way of a discharging passage. The closing of the passage between the supply chamber and the dispensing chamber, either beforehand or simultaneously, is actuated by means which are activated by conditions inside the machine, existing exclusively during a washing, drying or dishwashing cycle. The passage between the supply chamber and the dispensing chamber is re-opened and, beforehand or simultaneously, the discharging passage from the dispensing chamber is closed, so that the dispensing chamber can be re-filled from the supply chamber.

Title: Microfluid reaction carrier having three flow levels and a transparent protective layer
Inventor: STAHLER CORD FRIEDRICH
IPC: C40B40/10
Filed: 2000-08-01
Abstract: Microfluid reaction carrier, with a number of reaction zones, has a flow channel structure for fluids to pass through. Feed channels and parallel outflow channels are interlinked by angled connecting channels which also act as part of the feed and outflow channels structure. Microfluid reaction carrier, with a number of reaction zones, has a flow channel structure for fluids to pass through. The flow channel structure (1) is arranged on three flow planes. The feed channels (2) are in parallel on one plane, and the parallel outflow channels (3) are on the third plane. The connecting channels (4), forming the reaction zones, are in the center plane (30), linking the channels together in the outer planes at right angles or virtually at right angles. The projections of the channels in the first and third planes intersect at an angle. Each flow channel has an individual flow control with a valve system for fluid to flow in and for the fluid to be extracted. The fluid taken from each reaction zone is removed without contact with a fluid from other reaction zones. The flow channel structure is covered by a transparent layer on one or both sides (10,20). The transparent cover is of glass or plastics, with an integrated system of micro-lenses to focus light on the reaction zones and concentrate emitted light from reactions. The transparent cover can be composed of a number of parallel and fused glass fibers, forming a transparent honeycomb structure, where incoming and outgoing light is paralleled and scattered light is blocked from spreading into the transparent cover. The walls between the feed and outflow channels are impermeable to light. The connecting channels are formed by a number of fused glass fiber bundles, where the glass fiber cores are etched out to give micro-channels, only at the reaction zones. The connecting plane can be of a silicon layer, with a number of etched channels. A number of flow planes can be assembled together, where their reaction zones do not overlap and can be exposed to light individually which is directed specifically to each reaction zone. A programmable light source matrix is integrated in the reaction carrier for synthesis and analysis. A number of different receptors are fitted to the carrier at specific zones such as nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA, matter similar to nucleic acids such as peptide nucleic acids (PNA), peptides and saccharides. The receptors are of separate synthesis components, synthesized at the carrier. A component is between the receptor and carrier, to split the receptor for a functional group to remain at the carrier for the synthesis of a new receptor.

IPC: A61B3/024
Filed: 1994-05-05
Abstract: In a method of checking the threshold values of a subject's perception of visual stimuli, for each one of a selection of test series, the estimated error of a threshold value estimate of the test series is used to judge whether the test series is to be continued or not. This means that a test series may be discontinued as soon as the threshold value thereof can be determined with acceptable accuracy. Preferably, a posterior probability function is used for estimating the error. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes a control unit operating according to the method.
