Patent FR-2760652-A1 (FR)
Title: Elimination of scum from a water treatment settlement tank surface
Inventor: APPLINCOURT CHRISTIAN
IPC: B01D19/02
Filed: 1997-03-14
Abstract: The formation of scum on the surface of a water treatment settling tank is avoided by spraying the surface with water. Water is sucked up from the tank (2) through a filter (24) by a pump (6), and delivered via a valve (18) to a series of spray nozzles (5). Excess water delivered by the pump is diverted (20 and 8) back to the settling tank. The spraying device can be added to an existing settling tank without major modifications.

Patent FR-2764380-A1 (FR)
Inventor: PINVIDIC JEAN JACQUES
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1997-06-06
Abstract: Determining in real time the calorific value of a natural gas by optical means, uses a measure of the absorption of a luminous beam by the gas components when the gas is illuminated by a luminous beam with predetermined characteristics. The intensity of the light is measured after it has passed through the gas and the calorific value is determined by calculation using this measurement. The gas is illuminated by means of a luminous beam with three bands of measurements defining different wavelengths, each with a size of between 10 and 20 nm and found in the near infra-red. These bands define wavelengths in the region of adsorption for the non hydrocarbon components of the gas, with a reference band in the same range of wavelengths, but outside the other bands and the adsorption range of the gas. Also claimed is a device for determining in real time the calorific value of a natural gas by optical means, containing an emission block with a light source to pass a beam of light through a gas flow, and a reception block containing a photodetector which emits electronic signals to allow the calculation of the calorific value of the gas. The emission and reception blocks operate in three bands of wavelengths between 10 and 20 nm, and the photodetector comprises a photodiode and an numerical analogue converter, and a microprocessor.

Title: Pressure injection moulding machine die location and mounting equipment
Inventor: RESSE DANIEL
IPC: B29C45/17
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: This pressure injection moulding machine for plastic, includes new location and mounting equipment for the two mould dies (23, 24), one for each platen (26 ,27) of the press. One platen (26) moves horizontally to open and close the mould, the other (27) is fixed. The novel equipment comprises two vertical tracks (31, 32) attached to the moving platen. A second pair of vertical tracks (34, 35) is attached to the fixed platen (27). Each mould die slides vertically in its rails. Below the rails two support blocks (33, 36) locate the mould dies, supporting their weight. Also claimed is the corresponding method of mounting a mould. The platens are parted with a few millimetres clearance beyond the total thickness of the dies. The mould dies are brought face to face, so that the sole plate tenons locate in the rails. The dies are then slid vertically, to rest against the horizontal stops on the platens, held in place vertically, under gravity.
