Title: Determining moisture level of sand
Inventor: JAHL GUENTER
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 1995-10-31
Abstract: The method involves inserting two electrodes into the sand whose degree of moisture is to be measured. The real and imaginary parts of the complex resistance between the electrodes are measured at two frequencies. From these values, four moisture dependent components of an electric model of the sand are calculated. These components are combined into five characteristics and are fed as input values to a trained neural network. The neural network provides an output signal indicative of the sand moisture. The neural network may be trained using a reference sand with a known moisture level, determined e.g. by drying and weighing the sand. The network may be a multilayer perceptron with back propagation training algorithms.

Title: Utilising residues, wastes and low grade fuels in cement kiln
Inventor: SCHINGNITZ MANFRED DR
IPC: C10J3/46
Filed: 1996-03-02
Abstract: Utilising residual and waste materials and low calorific value fuels in cement kilns involves: (a) subjecting the materials and fuels to gasification to produce a raw gas containing volatile heavy metals, volatile salts (especially alkali metal chlorides and other alkali metal salts) and optionally hydrogen chloride; (b) subjecting the raw gas to water scrubbing to remove the volatile heavy metals as a heavy metal sulphide sludge and to dissolve the volatile salts and any hydrogen chloride; and (c) supplying the resulting gas as fuel to at least part of the heating system of the cement kiln. Gasification is effected in a stream of a free oxygen-containing gasifying medium at above the melting temperature range of the mineral components so that the latter are melted and, after cooling, form fused granules for use as cement raw material.

Patent DE-19647169-A1 (DE)
Inventor: LEE JIN HAN
IPC: E02F9/20
Filed: 1996-11-14
Abstract: A control device for a travelling system in construction vehicles is disclosed. The control device applies the pilot pressure of the pilot pump to the spool of the directional control valve separately from the travelling control pedal, thus automatically controlling operation of the directional control valve. However, the manual control mode performed by the travelling control pedals has priority over the automatic control mode. The control device has a proportional control valve, which applies the pilot pressure of the pilot pump to the spool in response to an input current signal. A pressure sensor checks the pilot pressures, which are generated by both the travelling control pedals and the proportional control valves and act on the spool. A controller receives a signal indicative of the pilot pressures checked by the pressure sensor and outputs the current signal to the proportional control valve.
