Patent EP-0395197-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STEPHENS RODNEY M
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1990-02-12
Abstract: An improved ink cartridge mounting system for a primary ink jet printer including an ink cartridge mounting element having four cartridge receiving openings, each specially configured to receive an ink cartridge containing ink of a particular color. A unique arrangement of six ribs extends from the outer periphery of each cartridge receiving opening to define a distinctive keying pattern adapted to seat an ink cartridge having a fluted end portion configured to mate with the distinctive keying pattern. The unique keying pattern designated for each different color are entirely complementary to a prior keying pattern employed for the same color in an alternate type of ink jet printer but for the provision of at least one additional rib. Thus, a cyan ink cartridge, for example, has a fluted end portion so configured to mate precisely with the cyan cartridge receiving opening of both the primary and alternative ink jet printers, while a cyan ink cartridge having a fluted end portion so configured to mate precisely with the cyan cartridge opening of the alternate ink jet printer will not seat in any opening of the primary ink jet printer.

Abstract: A process for the production of high octane gasoline rich in aromatics but containing a relatively low concentration of benzene comprises the separation of C₆ fraction of the gasoline feedstock into n-hexane and other C₆ isomers. The n-hexane and C₇+ streams are catalytically reformed to produce a reformate with a diminished yield of benzene. The reformate is separated and the C₆- reformate fraction containing benzene is alkylated employing a zeolite catalyst such as ZSM-5 and preferably methanol or propylene as the alkylating agent. The alkylate comprises high octane C₇+ alkylaromatics.

Abstract: A streaming current detector (SCD) in which a piston is arranged to reciprocate in a bore of a piston-receiving member to cause test samples of a fluid containing charge-influencing particles suspended therein repeatedly to flow into and from said bore for the generation across electrodes spaced apart along the bore of signals representing a charge-­related parameter of the fluid. A passageway is provided for conducting a main flow of the fluid from which the test samples are taken, across the open end of the bore through which the test samples enter and leave the bore. This passageway includes a portion downstream of the position of said bore with respect to the fluid flow, in which the fluid level is raised so as to create a head for maintaining the passageway filled at said position of the bore. 
     In a disclosed fluid treatment system, this SCD is arranged to receive test fluid obtained from the supplied fluid to provide a test output for use in controlling the amount of a flocculant added to the supplied fluid. The addition of the flocculant causes   the particles to agglomerate and a separating device is provided for separating the agglomerated particles from the fluid. The system also includes means for selectively cleaning the streaming current detector by ssupplying to said passageway a flow of cleaning liquid instead of the test fluid.

Abstract: En vue d'assurer la protection de l'étage à fonctionnement biologique d'une station d'épuration contre des dysfonctionnements dus aux eaux résiduaires, un contrôle en continu portant sur les substances bactériostatiques et les substances gênant la dégradation doit être effectué sur les eaux résiduaires. A cet effet, un courant partiel de ces eaux est amené à un poste de mesure où l'on détermine l'un des paramètres de charge de l'ensemble tels que CSB, TOC (teneur totale en carbone organique) ou DBO (demande biochimique en oxygène). Un deuxième courant partiel est mélangé à une suspension de boues bactériennes riche en oxygène, le mélange d'une section de mesure d'oxygène est introduit et la consommation d'oxygène DELTApO2 est mesurée. A partir de la consommation d'oxygène et de la valeur des paramètres de charge de l'ensemble, on détermine un indice de consommation d'oxygène, sans dimension, spécifique des eaux résiduaires et largement indépendant des fluctuations de charge.

Abstract: Un système de régulation du débit (10) destiné à fournir de l'oxygène à un patient qui en a besoin, ne fournit des impulsions d'oxygène que lorsque le patient inhale, à l'aide d'un contrôleur de débit (18) qui reçoit de l'oxygène sous pression et qui fournit à la sortie un débit d'oxygène régulé (12) au patient par l'intermédiaire d'une canule (24). Un capteur de pression (30) détecte les changements de respiration et produit des signaux de sortie qui sont amplifiés et automatiquement corrigés afin d'éliminer les erreurs, comme celles créées par la tension de décalage et la dérive de la température, en utilisant un module de réaction intégrale négative (36) qui comprend des circuits de correction automatique et un commutateur (59) pour déconnecter de manière sélective la réaction. Le signal de capteur amplifié (Vo) génère des signaux de commande, comprenant une impulsion de sortie fournie au contrôleur de débit, pour produire des impulsions d'oxygène réglables dans le temps, délivrées au patient lorsque le capteur de pression détecte une inhalation du patient.

Les différences de valeur des paires de points de trame de deux lignes de la même trame font l'objet d'une sommation absolue pour fournir une somme de trame. De même, les différences de valeur de paires de points d'image de deux lignes d'image font l'objet d'une sommation absolue pour fournir une somme d'image. La somme d'image multipliée par un coefficient d'évaluation d'image est soustraite de la somme de trame pour donner un résultat de décision éventuellement positif. Si ce résultat est positif, l'image est transformée et dans le cas contraire les deux trames sont transformées séparément.

Title: Method for cleaning flue gas formed on refuse incineration.
Inventor: CARLSSON KURT
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 1990-04-02
Abstract: For cleaning flue gas formed on the incineration of refuse, for example domestic refuse, and containing particulate impurities; gaseous organic impurities, such as aromatic chlorine compounds; gaseous inorganic and acidifying impurities, e.g. hydrogen chloride, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides; and gaseous trace elements, such as heavy metals, the gas is cleaned of its particulate impurities in a separation step (52). Then, the flue gas is cleaned of its gaseous inorganic and acidifying impurities in at least one gas washing step (54a, 54b). Before the separation step (52), the flue gas is brought into contact with one or more substances reacting with the gaseous trace elements and supplied in the form of a dry powder or fine liquid droplets, and/or an adsorption material reacting with the gaseous organic impurities, for transforming the trace elements and the last-mentioned impurities into particulate impurities which are separated from the flue gas in the above-mentioned separation step. The particulate impurities separated in the separation step (2; 22; 52) are heated to such a high temperature that substantially all the organic impurities are decomposed, and that most of the trace elements are evaporated, while the remaining particulate impurities are transformed into vitreous sand by melting.

Filed: 1990-06-19
Abstract: A method for determining the amount of an analyte in a sample fluid utilizes a multilayer assay element which comprises at least one reagent layer and a light-blocking layer. The assay method includes the steps of optically reading a signal producing species, e.g. a fluorescent label, a first time before the sample fluid is applied to the assay element and a second time, at the same wavelength and in the same location within the assay element, after the sample fluid has been applied to the assay element and the sample analyte has interacted with the reagent(s) present in the assay element. The ratio of the two signals is taken and compared with that for known amounts of the analyte to determine the amount of analyte in the sample fluid.
