Abstract: A process for recovering inorganic material from an effluent suspension produced in the treatment of waste paper. The effluent suspension, in the form of an aqueous suspension containing at least 2% by weight of dry solids, is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas at an elevated temperature, and at an elevated pressure sufficient to keep the water component of the sludge in the liquid phase, for a time sufficient to effect substantially complete oxidation of the organic material in the suspension. The resulting product is dewatered and then resuspended in water, whereafter there is separated from the suspension water containing fine carbon particles in suspension to leave the desired inorganic material.

Abstract: An out-of-step blocking circuit is established with two additional zones in the impedance plane, with the circuit determining the time that the positive sequence impedance takes to move between the two zones. The distance elements for selected zones of protection for the relay are blocked if the impedance moves between the two zones at a rate less than a first threshold. However, a trip signal results if the rate of change is greater than the first threshold but less than a second threshold, indicating an unstable swing. Further, an inner blinder zone is established in the impedance plane within the additional two zones of protection. If the positive sequence impedance entering that zone does not move from that zone within a certain time during an otherwise out-of-step condition, the blocking signals are terminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Device to preserve sausage quality during consumption that is made of a cover (1) that is fit on the sausage after its production and is sold with it at points of sale. The cover (1) has an open hemispherical shape with one reinforced zone near and around the perimeter of the opening as well as an outwards inclined zone (4) at the bottom of the reinforced zone that facilitates fitting on the sausage. The smaller diameter of the cover corresponds to the largest sausage diameter so that the best possible fit is assured during consumption. For improving the look of the product there exists a flat extension (5) at the plane of the opening. The material used is polypropylene copolymer but any material that may satisfy the mechanical qualities required is suitable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An interbody spinal fusion implant (100) for insertion across the height of a disc space between two adjacent vertebral bodies of a human spine comprises a flat upper and lower surface (112,114), which form a support structure for bearing against the adjacent vertebral bodies. Each surface has at least one opening therethrough, wherein the openings are in communication with one another to permit for the growth of bone from adjacent vertebral body to adjacent vertebral body through said implant. The upper and lower surfaces each have an interior surface spaced apart from one another to define a hollow interior in communication with said openings. The implant includes an access opening (132) between said upper and lower surfaces and an access door (134). The access door permits the introduction of bone growth promoting material into the hollow interior. The access door is configured to cooperatively engage said implant for retaining the bone growth promoting material within said implant.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un dispositif de filtrage économique et à hautes performances de construction simple et rationnelle et dont on peut facilement retirer et rejeter les corps étrangers collés sur le crible, soit par une opération manuelle simple, soit automatiquement à l'aide d'un actionneur. Le dispositif de filtrage est construit comme suit: un crible (11) est monté coulissant dans le sens du flux le long de la surface interne d'un bac (1) qui comporte une entrée de flux (a) et une sortie de flux (d); un orifice d'évacuation (15) des corps étrangers (15) est situé entre le crible (11) du bac (1) et l'entrée de flux (a); le crible (11) est relié à un dispositif de déplacement (3) par l'intermédiaire un arbre d'entraînement (4), ledit dispositif de déplacement (3) étant conçu pour amener rapidement le crible (11) vers l'aval, de l'entrée de flux (a) vers la sortie de flux (d), puis le ramener lentement dans le sens opposé; une soupape d'ouverture/fermeture (14) est placée sur la sortie de flux (d) du bac (1). Lorsque le dispositif de déplacement (3) du crible est actionné après que la soupape (14) a été fermée, le fluide traverse instantanément le crible (11) d'aval en amont tandis que le crible (11) se déplace rapidement vers l'aval. Les corps étrangers accumulés du côté amont du crible (11) de trouvent alors éliminés par la force de l'écoulement du flux.

Abstract: The invention involves a procedure for the catalytic enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral alcohols. Heretofore, this reaction was carried out batch-wise. Because, in this procedure, one utilizes a catalyst increased in size with polymer, it is possible to carry out the reaction in a quasi-continuous manner in a membrane reactor. In contrast to the state of the art, one thus dramatically increases the operative life of the catalyst.
