Abstract: The container comprises a relatively stiff, form-retaining supporting frame (1-4) and a flexible shell member (5). The supporting frame comprises a polygonal bottom member (3) and a corresponding cover member (1). Each angular point of the bottom member (3) is connected with an angular point of the cover member (1) by means of a rod-shaped element (4). The flexible shell member (5) is connected with each rod-shaped element (4) by means of a flexible loop member (6). Each loop member (6) starts from a point of attachment to the shell member (5) and passes around a rod-shaped element (4) to a second point of attachment. The arrangement is such that the loop members (6) keep the shell member (5) within the outer boundaries of the supporting frame (1-4) at all times, at least if the shell member (5) contains goods to be packaged. According to the invention, a strip-shaped member (7) made from a flexible material is connected with the shell member (5) at the points of attachment. It has a length at least equal to that of a rod-shaped element (4) and a width greater than that of the shell member (5) between two points of attachment. The associated rod-shaped element (4) extends between the loop member (6) and the strip-shaped member (7).

Abstract: An improved process for the low-cost disposal of noxious sewage sludge in a safe way without polluting the environment. In the process, sewage sludge having a solids content of about 0.5 to 20 wt.% is concentrated by pressing in a belt filter press, optionally followed by pressing in a high intensity press. It was unexpectedly found that the morphology of the resulting dewatered sewage sludge is changed by such mechanical treatment so that slurries with higher concentrations of solids are achieved. The dewatered sewage sludge is heated, flash evaporated and/or centrifuged, and mixed with a supplemental fuel e.g., liquid hydrocarbonaceous and/or solid carbonaceous fuel to produce a pumpable fuel slurry having a total solids content in the range of about 50 to 70 wt.% and comprising about 10 to 40 wt.% dewatered sewage sludge and having a higher heating value in the range of about 5,000 to 14,000 BTU/Lb. The fuel slurry may be reacted by partial oxidation in a conventional gasifier to produce synthesis gas and/or fuel gas. The thermal energy in hot by-product steam and flue gas streams are used to heat the dewatered sewage sludge. In one embodiment, the pumpable slurry of dewatered sewage sludge and supplemental fuel is burned by complete combustion in a furnace or incinerator for the production of steam.

Abstract: Pet door (10) has a frame (11) defining an access aperture (13) and a pivotally-hung aperture-closing flap (12) therein with a catch (14) to secure the flap against opening in one direction (A). The catch (14) is supported on a toggle joint (17) spring biased against one (36) of two adjacent abutments. The second abutment (60), which is displaceable, is normally positioned to prevent collapse of the toggle joint (17) whereby the catch (14) is maintained in a flap-securing position. The second abutment (60) is part of a magnetically-activated catch control mechanism, comprising (i) a rotationally mounted disc or lever (80) bearing the abutment and (ii) a rockable lever (64) interconnected with the disc (80). The rockable lever (64) bears magnet(s) (74) co-operable with a key magnet (66) on a pet collar. 
     When the key magnet (66) is presented to the pet door (10), it repels the magnet(s) (74) on the rockable lever (64) causing the interconnected disc (80) to rotate, displacing the second abutment (60). A thrust in direction (A) on the flap (12) presses on the catch (14) and the latter then causes the toggle joint to collapse, disengaging the catch from the flap (12) and thus allowing the latter to open.

Abstract: On fait débiter pendant une courte durée l'accumulateur (3), qui alimente un appareil (2), dans un circuit secondaire (5). Une partie de contrôle et de commande (6) du dispositif superpose une pertubation en courant de faible amplitude DELTAi au courant de décharge (I). La fréquence (f) du signal perturbateur est choisie en fonction de la capacité et du courant de décharge de l'accumulateur (3). Le traitement, par la partie de contrôle et de commande (6), de la réponse en fréquence de l'accumulateur (3) au signal perturbateur permet d'accéder à la valeur de l'impédance complexe de l'accumulateur à cette fréquence. La valeur ZI = (DELTAV/DELTAI) sin (DELTA(PHI)) de la partie imaginaire de l'impédance ainsi mesurée, ou avantageusement la valeur de la grandeur GAMMA = ZI-2 f-3/2 permet alors d'accéder à l'état de charge de l'accumulateur.

Abstract: A sheet paper feed apparatus has a hollow centre shaft (63), rollers (61) which have peripheral holes (62) and rotate around the centre shaft (63), and a negative pressure source (65) communicating with the centre shaft (63). Rotation of the roller (61) causes the peripheral holes (62) to connect successively with an opening in the centre shaft to allow the suction action to aid feeding of the sheet paper. The rollers are so formed that at least one of the peripheral holes (62) is effectively opposing the opening in the shaft (66) at any given time and thus interruption in the suction, likely to cause paper misfeed, is avoided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an accumulator battery, in particular a drive battery for electric road vehicles, having a plurality of cells, which are arranged in a battery container in rows and with spacings between their housings. In the case of this battery, a cooling device reverses the stream of a cooling medium (air) alternately from one direction into the opposite direction, by means of which the respective order of priority in which fresh air or already preheated air is applied to the cells is also reversed. As a result, a temperature difference (temperature gradient) between the cells, which is unavoidable when the cooling stream has a constant direction and which can give rise to operational disturbances, is largely levelled out. A possible device for reverse cooling is a fan (1), which can swivel through 180 DEG , in a tube connector (4) leading to the battery container (5). <IMAGE>
