Title: Method and a device for separating plastic particles from suspensions
Inventor: SAVISALO HANNU
IPC: B03B5/28
Filed: 1991-05-09
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     The invention relates to a method for separating plastic particles (P) from a suspension (L), e.g. from a cellulose mass or cellulose pulp suspension, in which the fiber-floc material is broken for loosening the plastic particles (P).          In the method, turbulent flows are caused to said suspension (L), by means of which flows the particles (P) to be separated are separated from the remaining mass as the fiber network is decomposing, whereby lighter particles (P) are separated.  In the method, the suspension (L) obtained in the previous phase is subjected to such a treatment that a concentration difference is achieved, which prevents the fiber network from reforming and thereby the plastic particles (P) from binding thereto, and a flow (F) is directed to the separation plastic particles from suspensions, especially cellulose and paper fiber suspensions, which device comprises a container (12) and guiding means (13, 14) fitted thereto for achieving turbulent flows and means (23, 24, 25) for diluting and/or orientating the suspension and which device further comprises separating means (19) for separating the particles from the suspension.

Inventor: THOMAS MIKE D
IPC: H01P5/08
Filed: 1992-09-21
Abstract: A broadband transition between microstrip transmission line and slotline transmission line.  The geometry of inte-grating the two transmission lines results in a broadband microstrip shunt circuit across the slotline, and a broad-band slotline  open circuit in the direction opposite of propagation on the slotline.  This produces direct coupling between the two transmission lines.  The transition does not  require  any  intermediate  transmission  line  types between the microstrip and slotline,  and no  frequency dependent  tuning  stubs  are used  to produce the  shunt circuits and open circuits required for coupling.   The result is a broadband transition which can be fabricated using standard etching techniques and requiring no plated through holes.
