Abstract: In a process for the disposal of toxic and/or infectious waste, especially highly halogenated solids, plastic containers, hospital waste and the like, to recover useful substances and render inert non-recyclable and unoutgassable residues, outgassing by the pyrolytic process is used, with air excluded and a reduced oxygen content, followed by the direct incineration of the distillation gases obtained from pyrolysis or their cracking to form a pyrolysis separation gas. The waste to be disposed of is inserted in an autoclave (2), partially outgassed there for a period of 20 minutes to 6 hours at about 250 to 320 C in an initial outgassing stage, then cooled and made into a granulate or pellets measuring from 1 to 50 mm, which are subsequently treated by the pyrolysis outgassing method in a second outgassing stage at a temperature of 550 to 600 C. This generates distillation gas which is separated from the residues, like carbon, ash, heavy metal particles and other components. The liquid partial outgassing intermediate products, like oil and/or coal tars, produced in the autoclave (2) are taken to the second outgassing stage, while the distillation gas separated off in the first outgassing stage in the autoclave (2) is taken off and added to the stream of distillation gas from the second outgassing stage.

Abstract: Procédé de production d'alumine qui permet une nette amélioration de la capacité de calcination grâce à l'utilisation d'un système global d'échange de chaleur dans lequel l'hydrate d'alumine est chauffé par paliers dans une pluralité d'étages d'échange de chaleur à des températures en augmentation régulière approchant les températures de calcination et est ensuite introduit dans un four à calciner pour la conversion finale en alumine, l'alumine calcinée étant ensuite refroidie dans une pluralité d'étages d'échange de chaleur, une quantité considérable de chaleur étant transférée des étages de refroidissement de l'alumine calcinée aux étages de chauffage de l'hydrate d'alumine à une température qui n'est, à chaque étage, que légèrement supérieure à la température d'un étage de chauffage ou à laquelle la chaleur est consommée dans cet étage. L'efficacité du système peut être encore accrue en préséchant l'hydrate d'alumine pour éliminer l'humidité superficielle en utilisant de l'air du système. Il est en outre possible d'utiliser des gaz d'échappement du four à calciner pour préchauffer l'air de combustion et de fluidisation pour le four à calciner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for carrying out the method. The method is based on the anaesthetic agent not absorbed by a patient being adsorbed in a filter during exhalation and thereafter being desorbed from the filter upon inhalation and being introduced once again into the respiratory flow, this flow passing through a carbon dioxide absorber before it is supplied to the patient. The device comprises a common conduit for the supply and removal of anaesthetic gases and respiratory gases to and from a patient. Arranged in this conduit is an adsorption filter for adsorption and desorption of anaesthetic gases. In order to obtain a device of this type which by simple means prevents the carbon dioxide adsorbed from the exhalation gas of the patient in the adsorption material from being supplied to the patient in the next inhalation phase, the invention proposes that the common conduit (2) between the patient (3) and the adsorption filter (4) should be divided at least in part into an inhalation branch (6) and an exhalation branch (7), a carbon dioxide absorber (8) being arranged in the inhalation branch (6). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel forms and configurations of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) including multimeric configurations that effectively bind to human rhinovirus and can effectively reduce HRV infectivity. When in a multimeric configuration, preferably as dimers, these proteins display enhanced binding of HRV and are able to reduce HRV infectivity as well as the infectivity of other viruses known to bind to the "major" group human rhinovirus receptor (HRR). The multimerized proteins may also be used to block tICAM interaction with lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in reducing the volatilization of the monomer component of bone cement is used after a prosthesis (16) is implanted and throughout the polymerization of bone cement. The apparatus (10) includes a generally annular inflatable sealing member (24) having a centrally located opening (26) therein for fitting over the exposed end (28) of the prosthesis (16). The sealing member (24) has an outer diameter (22) covering the exposed surface (19) of the bone cement (18). The sealing member (24) has a deformable surface disposed in a substantially co-planar relationship with the exposed surface (19) of the bone cement (18). The sealing member (24) is resiliently expandable by inflation and extends beyond the edges of the bone (12) defining the cavity (14), to seal the bone cavity upon the deformation of the deformable surface thereon. A pump (56) is provided for inflating the sealing member and causing the deformable surface to apply pressure to the exposed surface (19) of the bone cement (18). A valving system (38) and a pressure gage (50) are used for controlling the pressure applied to the exposed surface of the bone cement within a range of from 8-14 psi. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flow meter (10) employs phased arrays (14a, 14b, 16a, 16b, 18a, 18b, 20a, and 20b) of ultrasonic transducers mounted on the exterior of a pipe (12) to transmit and receive sound directed through paths that pass through the pipe interior. The flow meter (10) determines the rate of fluid flow through the pipe (12) by comparing the sound-propagation times for sound traveling the same paths in opposite directions. By driving the transducers as phased arrays, the flow meter (10) can employ sound-propagation paths that form angles to the normal to the interior pipe wall that exceed those dictated by Snell's law as applied to the relative propagation speeds in the pipe wall and the fluid. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electromagnetically releasable spring pressure brake has a stationary coil-bearing housing (1) with a ring-shaped magnet coil (2) and a friction lining rotor (5) that cooperates with a non-revolving, but axially movable armature core disk (4) in order to press the friction lining against a shaft housing or end shield when no current is flowing through the magnet coil, the coil-bearing housing (1) being secured to the shaft housing or end shield. The spring pressure brake also has an electric driving circuit (10) for the magnet coil (2) for driving the same when the brake is released with a considerably increased power in comparaison with the power required to normally hold the brake in the released position. In order to obtain a brake having a simple design, a reduced heat load, short operating and releasing times and no air gap adjustment, the driving circuit (10) has a phase control (32) and means (20) for generating an overexcitation delay. In order to release the brake, the overexcitation delay generator drives the phase control (32) driving circuit (22) so that the firing angle is generated only after a predetermined overexcitation time has elapsed during which the magnet coil is excited by an overexcitation voltage, and afterwards the phase control (32) reduces the power applied to the magnet coil (2) by phase controlling.
