Title: An apparatus for separating solid matter from a liquid
Inventor: BISCHOF RUDOLF
IPC: B30B9/12

Granted: 1999-12-22
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE95/00223 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 26, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 26, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 3, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/24306 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 14, 1995An apparatus for separating solid matter from a liquid has a rotatably driven conveyor spiral with one end projecting into a container, such as a gutter, in which a liquid containing solids flows. The spiral conveyor conveys the liquid from the container into a surrounding screen jacket so that liquid escapes from the jacket while the solids continue to be conveyed by the spiral. The spiral conveys the solids into a hollow, cylindrical jacket in which is supported a rotatable shaft drivingly connected to the conveyor spiral and extending longitudinally therefrom. The shaft and hollow, cylindrical jacket form a compression zone and the hollow, cylindrical jacket has a lateral opening through which the solids are conveyed to an outlet device extending laterally from the opening for discharge of the solids to a transport container, a sack filling machine or the like.

Abstract: A colour image is locally discoloured in the vicinity of edges. The edges extend, for example between a superposed foreground and a background in a computer-generated image, but also between different regions in natural images which are processed, for example in a television receiver. Consequently, the edges are perceived as being sharper upon display.

Abstract: The invention concerns a miniaturized flow thermocycler for carrying out thermally controlled biochemical or biological molecular processes, in particular polymerase chain reactions. The aim of the invention is to provide a miniaturized thermocycler which enables such reactions to be carried out more effectively, avoids the problem of parasitic heat absorbers and can be manufactured inexpensively in series. This aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that the sample holder (1) is designed as a series of meanders winding in a plane, the sample holder (1) consisting of a groove made in a wall and closed over by a cover, the groove passing alternately through comparable heating zones (2) and cooling zones (3), located at intervals along the groove, as it meanders.

Abstract: Un système (100) de distribution de produits multiples comprend une pluralité de distributeurs (10a, 10b, 10c) de solution d'emploi, ainsi qu'un dispositif de commande (110) destiné à sélectionner un des distributeurs (10a, 10b, 10c) selon un schéma prédéfini, par exemple, à sélectionner différents distributeurs sur différents jours de la semaine. Chaque distributeur (10a, 10b, 10c) distribue une concentration régulée de solution d'emploi à l'aide d'un appareil (13) d'apport de diluant, lequel délivre un diluant afin de former un concentré liquide à partir d'une composition chimique solide (22), et pour former du diluant d'appoint afin de diluer le concentré de liquide et de former une solution d'emploi d'une concentration régulée. Un réducteur (24) de mousse réduit l'énergie cinétique du diluant d'appoint avant le mélange avec le concentré liquide, afin de réduire la formation de mousse. Un utilisateur non qualifié peut faire fonctionner le système de distribution (10) afin de distribuer une solution d'emploi d'une concentratin régulée avec précision, et l'unité de commande (110) sélectionne automatiquement le distributeur approprié selon le schéma prédéfini, sans aucune entrée supplémentaire de la part de l'utilisateur. Par conséquent, la probabilité d'une erreur de manipulation de l'utilisateur se produisant est considérablement réduite par la sélection automatique du distributeur correct (10a, 10b, 10c), et la régulation de la concentration de la solution d'emploi.

Abstract: The invention concerns a very strong steel spring having a bright surface which is free from residual dirt, the spring also being resistant to relaxation at high operating temperatures. A spring of this type is produced from a steel wire of the following composition: between 0.45 and 0.85 wt % carbon; between 0.2 and 1.60 wt % silicon; between 0.3 and 1.50 wt % manganese; between 0.4 and 1.2- wt % chromium; the remainder being iron and unavoidable impurities. The wire is austenitized and then treated isothermally at temperatures ranging from 450 to 650  DEG C. The wire is then drawn to a tensile strength of between 1600 and 2300 N/mm<2> at a contraction in area when breaking of at least 40 %. The wire is cold formed to produce a spring and is then stress-free annealed at temperatures ranging from 200 to 350  DEG C.

Abstract: A storage medium (202) carries data structures (220-222) with attribute values (224-232) for a plurality of geographical locations. On the basis of a given code the storage medium is accessed by a system in order to read the attribute values of the data structure (222) corresponding to the given code. The storage medium in accordance with the invention stores a structure description (236) which specifies the layout of the data structure (222) in attribute values. The system consults this structure description and, as a result, knows the layout of the relevant data structure. By storing the structure description on the storage medium different data structures with an individual more suitable layout can be stored. Moreover, a subsequent version of the storage medium can store an adaptation of the data structure layout while it can still be read by the original system.

Abstract: A novel filter passes thermoplastics to extruders and pressure injection moulding machines. It includes replaceable filter elements (4, 5) in carriers (2, 3) located in two side channels (8a, 9a; 8b, 9b) in the filter casing (1). These channels connect in parallel between the main inlet- and outlet channels (6, 7). The filter carriers are inserted or removed through casing bores. Ahead of the carriers, in the main inlet channel (6), a block valve (10) is set to pass the thermoplastic to both filter elements. It has alternative positions preventing flow from the main channel into either one of the side channels. In these positions, the appropriate dirty sieve side (S) is connected to a take-off channel. In the novel design, the blocking unit (10) comprises a bolt or spool crossing the main inlet channel and adjustable transversely to the flow direction. The through-flow path from the main inlet into the side channels passes a necking (12) formed into the outer circumference of the bolt (11).
