Abstract: Arranged packings made of plastic are known whose strips have the same cross-section over their length and are joined together via a transverse holder web. The strips are arranged one above the other in a plurality of layers to increase the strip density. In the packing according to the invention, the strips are decreased in cross-section at least in the region of the holder web and preferably immediately to the left and/or right adjacent to the holder web. Thus the strips can be arranged in a layer with increased effective strip density. Packings formed in such a way serve for biological wastewater purification. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A spread limiter (17) is fitted exclusively to the edge-facing side of the slinger disc (5) so the guiding vanes (18) of the limiter are directed outwards and to the rear and either stand vertical or else are twisted round so as to go over from vertical into a sloping or horizontal surface. The limiter (17) is remotely swung into limiting or inactive settings, in either vertical or horizontal planes, using a number of pre-set limiting settings as required. When positioned for normal spreading, the limiter vanes restrict the forward flight of the manure particles in a plane passing through the leading rotation path of the outer parts of the slinger blades. The vanes pref. are adjusted in groups or individually so as to adapt the limiters to the various types of manure being used. It is also possible to retract the vanes, leaving the flight path of the manure unaffected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding input digital data by high-efficiency encoding, a 
method for transmitting the encoded information and a method and apparatus for 
reproducing and decoding the transmitted information, are disclosed. For encoding, an 
input signal is forward orthogonal transformed (303) into spectral signals using a 
windowing function for forward orthogonal transform having a shape A. For decoding, 
the spectral signals are inverse orthogonal transformed using a windowing function having 
a shape B different from the shape A. The degree of concentration of the energy of the 
spectral distribution may be raised and efficient encoding may be achieved even in case of 
modified DCT (MDCT) wherein the windowing function needs to satisfy a pre-set 
constraint.

Abstract: The present invention smooths piece-wise linear shapes by defining neighborhoods of vertices around vertices of the shape. One or more vectors is defined between the vertex and each of its neighbors. Vector sums are alternately multiplied by one of two scale factors. The scale factors are opposite in sign with the negative scale factor of larger magnitude. The vertices of the shape are displaced by the multiplied vector sums to attain new positions. The process is repeated with the vertices moving back and forth approximately through their final position until the shape is smoothed without shrinkage.

Abstract: This invention provides a composite reverse osmosis membrane having a polyamide type skin layer whose average surface roughness is at least 55nm, and the polyamide type skin layer comprises the reaction product of a compound having amino groups and polyfunctional acid halide compound having acid halide groups. The composite reverse osmosis membrane of this invention is superior in salt rejection and water permeability. A polymer film is formed on a supporting film by contacting a solution containing e.g., m-phenylenediamine with a porous polysulfone supporting film so as to form a layer of the solution on the supporting film, then contacting the film with a solution of trimesic acid chloride and holding the film in a hot air dryer so that a polymer film is formed on the supporting film. The surface of the polyamide type skin layer can also be treated with quaternary ammonium salt and coated with a crosslinked layer of an organic polymer having positively-charged groups. Raw liquid is transmitted from a raw liquid tank (2) to a membrane module (10) for the first stage through a first transmission pump (4), and the first stage of reverse osmosis treatment is carried out. The composite reverse osmosis membrane coated with the crosslinked layer is used when another reverse osmosis treatment is carried out by using another membrane module (20) for the second stage.

Abstract: A fluid filter assembly for pressurized fluids includes a simplified construction involving the use of a molded, integral nutplate fabricated out of a glass reinforced nylon material. The molded nutplate is used in combination with an outer housing and a generally cylindrical filter cartridge which is positioned within the housing. The nutplate provides flow inlet apertures, a flow exit conduit and an inserted stem extending into the filter cartridge and being designed and arranged so as to establish a fluid-tight interface with a molded endplate disposed over the upper end of the filter cartridge. The lower end of the filter cartridge employs a molded endplate design which includes projecting feet to position the filter cartridge within the outer housing and to establish the desired axial depth. The design, including the molded nutplate, substantially reduces the number of component parts required for prior art filter assembly designs and results in fewer processing steps being required. The specific configuration of the nutplate and the manner in which it is secured to the outer housing causes all pressurized fluids to be contained beneath the nutplate. As a result, pressurized fluid cannot pass and create a downward load on the outer diameter of the nutplate.
