Abstract: A transition device (110) for fitting to an extension ladder comprising a single elongate rung portion (115) and two hook-shaped arm portions (116) at respective opposite ends of the rung portion (115). The hook-shaped arm portions (116) comprise respective wing formations (120) that project longitudinally from each end of the transition device (110). In use, the hook-shaped arm portions (116) are engaged over the uppermost exposed rung (111) of the lower section (112) of the extension ladder, such that the formations (120) abut the uprights (121) of the ladder and prevent movement or rotation of the device (110). The transition device (110) acts to increase the forward extension of the rung (111) and thereby enables a user to step safely over the transition between the lower and upper sections (112, 114).

Abstract: To exploit dusts and fine ore generated in a ferronickel process, a pelletizing feed is produced from dusts and finely divided ore material. The pelletizing feed is pelletized to produce green pellets, which are sintered in a steel belt sintering furnace which comprises one or more zones for drying, heating, sintering and cooling of the pellets. The sintered pellets can be fed to a rotary kiln for pre-reduction of nickel and iron. Alternatively, the pellets can be fed to a ferronickel smelter together with pre-reduced laterite ore received from a rotary kiln. Optimal conditions for the sintering of ferronickel dust pellets have been determined.

Abstract: This invention relates to the production of succinic acid and other chemicals derived from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by fermentation with a microorganism in which the fermentation medium contains one or more sugars, and in which one or more of the sugars is imported into the cell by facilitated diffusion. As a specific example, succinic acid is produced from a glucose- containing renewable feedstock through fermentation using a biocatalyst. Examples of such a biocatalyst include microorganisms that have been enhanced in their ability to utilize glucose as a carbon and energy source. The biocatalysts of the present invention are derived from the genetic manipulation of parental strains that were originally constructed with the goal to produce one or more chemicals (for example succinic acid and/or a salt of succinic acid) at a commercial scale using feedstocks that include, for example, glucose, fructose, or sucrose. The genetic manipulations of the present invention involve the introduction of exogenous genes involved in the transport and metabolism of glucose or fructose into the parental strains. The genes involved in the transport and metabolism of glucose or fructose can also be introduced into a microorganism prior to developing the organism to produce a particular chemical. The genes involved in the transport and metabolism of sucrose can also be used to augment or improve the efficiency of sugar transport and metabolism by strains already known to have some ability for glucose utilization in biological fermentations.

Abstract: A mask set, a pixel unit and a manufacturing method thereof, an array substrate and a display device are provided to overcome the problem of low brightness of a display screen of a display device. In the pixel unit, the maximum size value of an overlapped area between an active layer and a drain electrode of a thin-film transistor (TFT) in the direction parallel to data line is less than the size value of one side, overlapped with the data line, in an overlapped area between the active layer and a source electrode; and the source electrode is the portion of the data line disposed in an overlapped area between the active layer and the data line. The pixel unit has the advantages of a larger opening area and higher light transmittance. Thus, the brightness of a display screen of the display device comprising the pixel units can be enhanced. Moreover, the problem of screen flicker can be avoided to some extent, and hence the display quality of images can be improved.

Abstract: In various aspects, methods and apparatuses for liquid-liquid extraction are provided. In certain aspects, an emulsion can be formed by combining a feed stream, an extractant, and a surfactant. The feed stream comprises a plurality of distinct components including a first component to be removed therefrom. The feed stream may be selected from a group consisting of: a hydrocarbon feed stream and an azeotrope. Then, a portion of the first component is extracted from the feed stream (or emulsion) by contact with a superoleophobic and hygroscopic membrane filter that facilitates passage of the first component and extractant through the superoleophobic and hygroscopic membrane filter. A purified product is collected having the portion of the first component removed. Such methods are particularly useful for refining fuels and oils and separating azeotropes and other miscible component systems. Energy-efficient, continuous single unit operation apparatuses for conducting such separation techniques are also provided.
