Abstract: The invention relates to a reinforced concrete section ( 1, 23, 26-28 ) comprising two commercially available pre-cast floor elements ( 2, 3 ) of the same type. Each element consists of a substantially rectangular concrete slab ( 4, 21 ) and at least one lattice girder ( 5, 7 ) attached thereto. The two pre-cast floor elements are arranged in a laterally reversed manner so that their concrete slabs ( 4, 21 ) are situated parallel to and at a distance from each other and their lattice girders face one another. The pre-cast floor elements ( 2, 3 ) are fixedly attached to one another by their lattice girders ( 5-7 ). The reinforced concrete section ( 1, 23, 26-28 ) can be used with site-mixed concrete to rapidly produce a foundation for a building on the building site, without erecting the shuttering and dismantling the shuttering.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for removal of sulfur compounds from wastewater, which process provides recovery of elemental sulfur. The process is carried out in two separate anaerobic reactors. In the first reactor organic compounds are converted to acid compounds and sulfur compounds are converted to sulfide compounds. The sulfide compounds are stripped from said first reactor with a stripping gas. Subsequently, the effluent of the first reactor is fed to a second anaerobic reactor, in which organic compounds, such as the acid compounds, are converted to produce biogas, while any unconverted sulfur compounds from the previous step are converted to sulfide compounds as well. Finally, the sulfide compounds are removed from the second reactor in a stripping system, and converted to elemental sulfur in an adsorber. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the response pressure of motor vehicle brakes, according to which the brakes to be inspected are subjected to a test pressure, whereby before and after the creation of the test pressure, a test-pressure indicator signal is generated, which is a linear combination of an acceleration signal and a differential speed signal. If the two test-pressure indicator signals correspond, (considered to be a "non-response of the brakes"), the test-pressure is increased and a new test-pressure indicator signals do not correspond, the prevailing brake pressure is considered to be the response pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a marking device, comprising a pump (2), a marking liquid container (6) for holding a marking liquid (8) and a marking head (12). A first line (4) through which the pressurised air of the pump (2) can be pumped into the marking liquid container (6) is located between the pump (2) and said marking liquid container (6). A second line (10), through which the marking liquid (8) can be pumped from the marking liquid container (6) to the marking head (12) is also provided. A surveillance device (22, 24) for measuring the pressure and for comparing the pressure measurement with a predetermined limit pressure value is provided in said second line (10). Were a hole or similar to appear in the second line (10), the falling of the pressure measurement below the limit pressure value would be detected by the surveillance device (22, 24) and the marking liquid container (6) would be deaerated. The deaeration of the marking liquid container (6) causes to the pressure inside said marking liquid container (6) to decrease. This ensures that no more marking liquid (8), which would otherwise leak out through the hole, is pumped into the second line (10). The invention also relates to an extrusion system with a marking device of this type.

Abstract: A method provides for full or partial infusion of resin into three-dimensional, woven textile preforms. Resin film is placed at selected locations adjacent the preform, and the resin film may be separated from other areas of the preform using separator sheets or other materials. The preform is heated and may be vacuum-bagged to apply pressure, or may be rolled or fed through a die. The heat and pressure cause the resin to infuse into the selected areas of the preform adjacent the resin films. The amount of resin in the partial infusion is the same as is necessary to fully infuse the preform, but the resin remains localized in the selected areas until heated again at cure to cause the resin to flow throughout the preform. The method may also be used to fully infuse the preform with resin by providing sufficient temperature and time at that temperature during the initial infusion.
