Title: Method for separating metal contaminants from organic polymers
Inventor: HOXMEIER RONALD JAMES
IPC: C08F6/24
Filed: 1988-10-27
Granted: 1990-09-13
Abstract: A method for separating metal residues from a polymer wherein a solution or suspension of said polymer is contacted with an aqueous solution containing one or more inorganic acids in the presence of a monocarboxylic acid containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms. The polymer solution or suspension will be contacted with an oxidizing agent either prior to or simultaneously with the contacting with the aqueous inorganic acid solution. The inorganic acid is, preferably, a mineral acid and the monocarboxylic acid is preferably a branched chain alkanoic acid having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms. When a monocarboxylic acid is used in combination with the inorganic acid, the amount of metal removed from the polymer is increased and the amount of the aqueous phase containing ionized metal entrained in the organic phase is significantly reduced.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling double cabin elevators
Inventor: SCHROEDER JORIS DR
IPC: B66B1/14
Filed: 1985-10-08
Granted: 1989-04-13
Abstract: An elevator control receives car calls for certain floors which are subject to a restriction of operation, but does not prevent the storage of these car calls. The car calls subject to the restriction of operation are only served during the trip in the opposite direction, if a load increase has been detected by a load measurement device during the change in the direction of travel. The restriction of operation is only cancelled during a predetermined time interval dependent on the movement of the car door and simultaneous occurrence of a load change caused by added travelers. Two storage cells are connected to the car call circuits for the car calls subject to the restriction of operation where an entered call, during a cancelled restriction of operation, is stored in the first storage cell and, during the restriction of operation, is stored in the second storage cell. A call stored in the first storage cell is transferred to the travel control of the elevator prior to the change of direction of travel and a call stored in the second storage cell is only transferred after the change of direction of the elevator.
