Patent EP-0074634-B1 (EP)
IPC: C09D5/44
Filed: 1982-09-10
Granted: 1986-02-19
Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of cationic resins derived from polyepoxides is disclosed. Typically, the process comprises contacting the polyepoxide with particular polyether polyols and heating the two together to form a resin which may then be reacted with a cationic base group former such as an amine and acid. Aqueous dispersions of the cationic resins prepared by the improved process are useful for coating applications, particularly cationic electrodeposition. They exhibit good low temperature cure response and the cured coatings have good physical properties such as resistance to water, detergent and salt spray corrosion.

Abstract: An incremental measuring instrument having a series of reference marks extending alongside a division of a scale is provided with a selector element which is slideable along the length of the scale and can be aligned with a selected one of the reference marks in order to bring the selected reference mark into operation. The position of the selector element with respect to the selected reference mark is fixed by a plurality of filler elements which cooperate with a selector element to form a column of elements arranged end to end within a guide. Holding elements at the ends of the guides preclude undesired longitudinal movement of the column of elements.

Abstract: In a sludge thickener, supernatant fluid is drawn off via peripheral ducts and oxygenated at a suitable location. The supernatant fluid is thereafter reintroduced into the thickener via diffusers distributed transversely of the thickener and intermediate the peripheral ducts. The generation of nauseating smells is thereby prevented, and an advantageous increase of the concentration of the sludges is attained.

Abstract: A microcomputer-based programmable control system for desiccant air dryers (20) monitors the level of moisture saturation of the desiccant beds and adjusts the regeneration cycle accordingly to optimize energy efficiency. The moisture sensors have capacitance probes (32), (33) and adjustable resistors (68) as frequency determining components for precision oscillators (65). A multiple counter integrated circuit (58) is controlled by the microcomputer (55) to establish a predetermined time interval and to count cycles of the precision oscillators during the predetermined time interval to obtain final counts for each probe (32), (33) indicative of the level of moisture saturation in the respective desiccant beds. The microcomputer (55) compares the final counts to a predetermined threshold number in order to determine whether a regeneration cycle is required, and also compares the final counts to maximum and minimum threshold numbers to detect and indicate probe failure. A pair of high and low pressure sensitive switches (59) is provided for each desiccant bed, and the microcomputer (55) tests for coincidence of the high switches and the low switches to monitor full depressurization and repressurization of the regenerating bed and to analyze and indicate valve malfunction. The control system directly activates low current, low capacity solenoid valves (201) which in turn operate high pressure pneumatic relays to drive the valves in the air dryer.

Granted: 1993-01-13
Abstract: A sliding gate valve assembly employed on the side of a furnace as a furnace valve is so structured that the shut off of metal flow from the furnace occurs by directing the slide gate (21) to the up position rather than the down position. In addition, to facilitate a reduction in space at the slide gate, the slide gate is desirably configured to be asymmetrical, with the short end extending upwardly from the pour opening (29) in the nozzle. A refractory lined heat shield (26) protects the sliding gate carrier (22) and also serves to mount a collector extension (30) when used. The slide gate (21) is provided with a metallic frame (60) which retains a monolithic refractory (80) into which erosion resistant refractory inserts or performed members (29,70) are cast. Means are desirably provided to remove the spent refractory for remanufacture thereby reclaiming the casting. Similarly in the stationary plate (20), means are provided for remanufacture and for facilitating proper orientation of erosion-resistant refractory inserts in the manufacture of the stationary plate. The stationary plate is symmetrical to provide full travel pressure face relationship with the sliding gate (21). Both the stationary plate (20) and slide gate (21) casting have spring pad back up reinforcements. The statutory plate desirably has means for securing a well nozzle (19) to it.
