Abstract: The salts component of nitrate/nitrite/hydroxide containing materials used in the tempering of steel is recovered by reducing the used salts to a grain size of 1 to 50 mm, dissolving the used salts in a solution of nitric acid containing H2O2 at 40 - 90 degrees C., filtering off the insoluble residue and precipitating KNO3 by cooling the concentrated neutralised salt solution to -10 to 20 degrees C. NaCl is crystallised out by further concentration of the solution at 60-120 degrees C. and NaNO3 is crystallised out from the remaining solution by the addition of concentrated HNO3.

Abstract: A cable transit for protecting against the ingress of liquids and electromagnetic disturbances at a transit location in a wall, including a sleeve and a nut for fitting the transit tightly in the wall. The transit also includes a cable seal which comprises two semi-cylindrical bodies made of a compressible material and together fitting in the sleeve.

The semi-cylindrical bodies can be pressed together in tight abutment with the sleeve and with the cable, by means of the nut. The standard earthed cable sheet is earthed by means of a conductive screen. At least one peelable layer is removed along a part of the semi-cylindrical bodies, so that the semi-cylindrical bodies will present, at that part, a center hole whose diameter is greater than the diameter along the remaining part of the semi-cylindrical bodies. Each semi-cylindrical body is covered with a conductive part-screen along the remaining part.

Abstract: Solid objects are formed in an imagewise layering process in which components of a dispersion are homogenized to form an alloy. Imagewise exposure of the layers to radiation to form an alloy permits separation of the exposed, homogenized regions from non-exposed, non-homogenized regions. As each layer is formed and imagewise homogenized, contiguous layer regions are bonded together to form a homogenized, three-dimensional object which may be separated from surrounding dispersion.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une prestation de services de données fondée sur l'utilisation de la capacité cellulaire inactive dans un système de communications cellulaire. Le système et le procédé de cette invention permettent d'attribuer des priorités à chaque dispositif utilisateur éloigné du système de communications cellulaire. En réponse à une demande de service destiné à un dispositif utilisateur éloigné, le commutateur mobile détermine si une voie inactive est disponible et utilisable par le dispositif utilisateur éloigné. Si aucune voie libre n'est disponible, le commutateur mobile détermine si un dispositif utilisateur éloigné, de priorité inférieure à celle du dispositif à l'origine de la demande, utilise une voie. Si un dispositif utilisateur éloigné de priorité inférieure utilise une voie, son appel est interrompu et la voie est affectée au dispositif utilisateur éloigné à l'origine de la demande. Si aucun dispositif utilisateur éloigné de priorité inférieure n'utilise une voie, la demande de service est mise en file d'attente ordonnée jusqu'à ce qu'une prochaine voie inactive soit disponible.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to further improve the closed cycle for generating electric power in such a way that efficiency is enhanced and general pressure and temperature requirements regarding the working fluid used are substantially reduced. The invention also seeks to provide an improved technical solution that meets the requirements of continuos operation at rated output despite fluctuations in load requirements. This is achieved through a multistep steam power operating method for generating electric power in a cycle by using an additional gaseous energy carrier to increase the pressure, the temperature and the volume of the working fluid in the cycle and by recirculating the working fluid in the cycle in such a way that continuously overheated steam is used as a working fluid. The invention can be used in the generation of electric power in a cycle.

Abstract: A magnetic device is formed from a permanent magnet (12, 14) generating magnetic flux, and an armature (10) which can occupy either a first air gap in which the flux is in one direction, or a second air gap in which the flux is in the opposite direction, with a region of flux cancellation between the two air gaps. At least one electromagnet winding (36, 38) may be provided to which current can be supplied which when energised produces a magnetic flux in one direction or the other, depending on the direction of the current, the flux from the winding increasing the flux density in one of the air gaps and reducing the flux density in the other air gap. This effectively shifts the flux cancellation region towards or into one of the two air gaps so as to produce a flux density gradient extending from one air gap to the other, which will cause the armature to move into (or remain in) the air gap having the higher flux density, and continue to remain in that air gap after the current flow ceases. The device can be incorporated into a fluid valve to act as a drive for opening and closing the valve. It may also serve as the drive for opening and closing electrical contacts. Monostable operation can be achieved by locating a magnetic flux shunt at one end of the armature travel. A holding solenoid may be incorporated. A plurality of such devices controlling the opening and closing of a plurality of orifices in a manifold containing fluid especially gas or air, under positive pressure, may be controlled by signals from a computer controlled signal generator to produce an air cushion for supporting and/or conveying articles, or a sound wave whose amplitude and frequency is controlled by the signal generator. Such a device may be incorporated into a pipeline to influence the flow of fluid therethrough or into the exhaust or inlet manifold of a turbine or engine, especially a jet engine, to interact with the gases flowing therethrough and introduce or reduce turbulence or otherwise alter the gas flow.
