Title: Process for producing high brightness clays utilizing magnetic beneficiation and calcining.
Inventor: COOK JERRY ALLEN
IPC: B03C1/00
Filed: 1983-07-29
Abstract: A method for separating titaniferous and ferruginous discolorants from a crude kaolin clay. A dispersed aqueous slurry of the clay is formed containing a deflocculant and a fatty acid collecting agent, and the slurry is conditioned to coat the discolorants with the collecting agent to thereby render the discolorants hydrophobic. A system of sub-micron sized magnetic ferrite seeding particles, the surfaces of which have been rendered hydrophobic, is thereupon added to the slurry. The seeded slurry is mixed to coalesce the hydrophobic-surfaced discolorants with the hydrophobic-surfaced seeding particles, and the slurry is then subjected to a froth flotation, which removes substantial quantitites of the discolorants and seeding particles coalesced therewith, and also removes excess seeding particles and excess collecting agent. The flotation-beneficiated slurry is then subjected to a magnetic separation by passing the slurry through a porous ferromagnetic matrix positioned in a magnetic field, having an intensity of at least 0.5 kilogauss, to remove further quantities of the discolorants and seeding particles associated therewith, and to remove seeding particles unassociated with said discolorants. The product from said magnetic separation may then be calcined at a temperature of at least 1500<o>F to yield an exceptionally high brightness, low abrasion product.
Patent EP-0136306-A4 (EP)
Title: Optical fibres.
Inventor: SNYDER ALLAN WHITENACK
IPC: G02B6/10
Filed: 1984-02-24
Abstract: Single mode, single polarisation fibres are produced by the introduction of anisotropy into an optical fibre of otherwise arbitrary geometry and arbitrary but guiding refractive index profiles. The anisotropy, which may be induced by the application of transverse stress to the optical fibre, is sufficient to establish conditions under which one mode of linearly polarised light "leaks" from the fibre. In the case of step-profile optical fibres, having a core (10) and a cladding (11), the anisotropy may be such that one mode of propagation of light is completely eliminated from the fibre. Alternatively, in such fibres, the anisotropy may be such that the leakage of the unwanted mode from the fibre is gradual, so that the fibre effectively attenuates that mode, thereby eliminating the propagation of that mode when the fibre has a sufficient length.

Abstract: Un circuit d'étiquette résonante (figures 1-6 et 8-9) ayant au moins une fréquence de résonance est opératif dans un système de sécurité électronique (figure 7) dans lequel le circuit d'étiquette est détecté et désactivé électroniquement (figures 13, 16) pour détruire les caractéristiques résonantes du circuit d'étiquette à la fréquence de détection. Le circuit d'étiquette est conçu de sorte de les plaques de condensateur (10, 12, 22, 24) sont plus proches les unes des autres en un point sélectionné (20, 32). Cette configuration forme un mécanisme de claquage dans la structure de résonance de l'étiquette. Un désactivateur (figure 16) fournit une énergie électromagnétique à une fréquence de résonance du circuit d'étiquette d'une intensité suffisante pour provoquer le claquage électrique (figures 10-12) au point sélectionné (20, 30). Ceci désactive le circuit d'étiquette en provoquant la vaporisation d'une zone conductrice (figure 11) ou le court-circuitage des plaques de condensateur (figure 12) pour détruire les propriétés de résonance du circuit.

Title: Improved four-way valve
IPC: B62D5/083
Filed: 1990-03-19
Abstract: A four-way open-center rotary control valve (210, 260) is provided which features internally generated hydraulic reaction torque. The hydraulic reaction torque is generated between inner (212, 262) and outer valve members (214, 264) having multiple inlet (220, 222) and return control orifices (232, 234) formed at differing radii. The return control orifices are formed at larger radii than the inlet control orifices - thereby resulting in expanded values of radially disposed area on either side of ridges which partially form the return control orifices. Thus, differential output pressure present in first and second output zones, which are alternately disposed between pairs of the inlet control orifices and pairs of the return control orifices, generates the hydraulic reaction torque via the product of the differential pressure, the expanded values of the radially disposed area and effective radius of the radially disposed area. Generally, the first and second output zones are coupled to either side of a double acting utilization device via controlled orifice flow restrictors (488), also of the present invention. The controlled orifice flow restrictors comprise an oversize orifice (494) which is selectively filled by a spring-loaded contoured valve member (496).

Title: Process for dust-free enzyme manufacture.
Inventor: BECKER NATHANIEL T
IPC: C12N11/04
Filed: 1991-10-10
Abstract: This invention relates to processes for manufacture of substantially dust-free particles of enzymes by spray-coating solid particulate cores or seeds with fermentation broths containing enzymes. Fermentation broths containing from 5 % to 100 % total solids as enzyme and 4 % - 55 % total solids content in the broth may be used. For broths containing 4 % - 31 % total solids, enzyme and coating agents may be spray-coated so as to achieve a weight gain of 1 % - 24 % w/w over the initial weight of the cores. For broths with 31 % - 55 % total solids, a corresponding weight gain of 1 % - 100 % may be achieved. The enzyme coated cores may be further coated with coating agents. The total dry weight added to the cores ranges from 1 % to 19 % in the absence of coating agents and 1 % to 24 % in the presence of coating agents when the lower range of total solids content is used. The total dry weight added to the cores ranges from 1 % to 100 % when the higher range of total solids content is used. These conditions are especially useful in the granulation of enzymes with very high specific activities, so that effective enzyme activity can be provided by adding low amounts of broth solids to the cores. Reduction in added solids is of significant economic benefit in reducing granulation costs.
