Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for separating knots. In particular the method and the apparatus are meant to be used in separating knots from fibre suspensions of the wood processing industry. The knotter according to the invention uses a profiled screen cylinder (5) with which it has been found from performed tests to be most preferable to feed the pulp from the connections (2) in the direction of rotation of the screen cylinder and also to discharge the reject from the connections (4) and the accept from the connections (3) of the cylinder (5) in the direction of rotation. As a result, there is not only less wear of the screen surface, but also a significantly smaller consumption of power per pulp ton than in the apparatuses in accordance with the prior art.

Abstract: n electromagnetic contactor or controller is taught in which the voltage which is impressed across the electromagnetic armature accelerating coil is compared by a microprocessor against a menu of memory stored voltages with related delay angles. The delay angles are utilized to alter the conduction interval of a triac or similar gated device which is connected in series circuit relationship with the coil in question. During an ACCELERATION interval a number of consecutive full-wave rectified half-cycles of voltage pulses (106) are phase angle or delay angle controlled so that the amount of energy provided to the moving armature of the contactor is approximately sufficient to cause the armature to abut a fixed magnetic member. Furthermore, there is provided a separate memory menu for mid-flight adjustment of the armature to compensate for unknown variations to fine tune the closing operation. This latter correction is known as COAST. There is also provided a GRAB function which supplies limited, relatively low level current to the armature at or near the time of abutment for preventing "bounce". Mechanically interconnected with the armature is a set of contacts which are caused to close upon an external circuit for providing a useful function in response to the movement of the armature. One field of use is in motor starters; an advantage lies in the fact that the present system is more reliable.

Abstract: An inductive proximity detector includes an oscillator circuit (11) including a coil (10) to which is electromagnetically coupled a sensing coil (12) and a reference coil (13). The sensing and reference coils are connected in series in opposition with the free end of the reference coil connected to ground. The common point (14) between the coils is connected through an amplifier (15) and detector (16) to one input (17) of a differential amplifier (18). The free end of the sensing coil is connected through an amplifier (20) and detector (21) to a second input (22) of the differential amplifier (18). In the absence of an object the output from the amplifier (18) will be zero. When an object is in proximity to the sensing coil the voltages induced in the coils is no longer equal and the amplifier (18) provides an output signal which is dependent upon the proximity of the object but is independent of the magnitude of current in the coil (10).

Abstract: The present-day tendency towards the production of extra-clean steels has led to initiatives for developing treatments which remove undesirable elements (especially sulphur and phosphorus) from  hot metal  before the latter is fed into the converter. One effective practice which has been developed and tested by some of the above-mentioned inventors refers to the continuous treatment of hot metal while it flows through the blast-furnace trough; this requires continuous monitoring of the hot metal composition, and in particular of the silicon content which has a strong influence on the dephosphorization reaction. The improved electrochemical cell according to this invention permits measuring, on a continuous basis and for extended periods of time, the silicon content of the outflowing hot metal and therefore enables the operator to apply immediately the necessary corrective action for preventing undesired swings of the impurities content.

Abstract: When repairing a fuel assembly damaged on the periphery of a spacer assembly (3), it has always been the aim heretofore, despite the damaged cells, to insert a fuel pin (2) or a dummy fuel pin into the corresponding fuel pin position. In order to avoid this considerable expenditure, another way is proposed in which the damaged webs (7) of a cell (6) are separated and the fuel pin (2) is removed without replacement. The fuel assembly repaired in this way is inserted in the fuel assembly unit of a core charge in a core position such that a power increase in the fuel pins adjacent to the free position remains within the prescribed power limits. <IMAGE>
