Patent ZA-862042-B (ZA)
Title: Belt storage unit
Inventor: MRAZ DENNIS
IPC: B65G21/14
Filed: 1986-03-19
Abstract: The belt to be stored is entrained between a set of rollers (11) on a fixed frame (10) and a set of rollers (13) on a movable frame (12). Separation of the frames increases the amount of belt stored as lengths (31, 32 etc.) extending between pairs of rollers (24-25, 26-27, 28-29 etc.). The sets of rollers (11 and 13) are arranged at an acute angle to the direction of separation to minimize the height of the assembly. 
<??>In modified assemblies the inclined sets of rollers form a V-shape, with two groups of rollers inclined at acute angles above and below the horizontal, or a Z-formation.

Title: Process and apparatus for producing nitrogen of ultra-high purity
Inventor: STERN SIDNEY S
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1992-04-09
Abstract: Air is rectified in a rectification column 24 to produce at its top a gaseous nitrogen fraction relatively to produce a rich in light elements, such as neon, helium and hydrogen. A stream of this gaseous fraction is then partially condensed within a condenser 32 and separated into liquid and vapour phase within a phase separator 48. The liquid phase is lean in the light elements and the vapour phase is rich in the light elements. The liquid phase is removed from the bottom of the phase separator 48 and is introduced into the column 24 as reflux. As the reflux descends from tray to tray it is stripped of light elements. A product stream containing ultra-high purity nitrogen is withdrawn as a liquid stream 62 from the column 24 after suitable stripping of the reflux. The product stream 62 can be further purified by stripping within a stripper column 68. <IMAGE>

Title: Air separation method for supplying gaseous oxygen in accordance with a variable demand pattern
Inventor: MOSTELLO ROBERT A
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1992-04-28
Abstract: In air separation method for supplying gaseous oxygen to meet the requirements of a variable demand cycle, air is rectified in a double rectification column 20 comprising high pressure column 22 and low pressure column 24. A liquid oxygen stream 46 is withdrawn from the column 24 and a nitrogen stream 34 from the column 72. The nitrogen stream 34 is warmed within a main heat exchanger 18. A variable part of it is expanded in turbine 76 to create plant refrigeration. When a demand for gaseous oxygen exists, a product stream formed of withdrawn liquid oxygen is raised by pump 62 to delivery pressure and at least part of the nitrogen stream is warmed to ambient temperature in heat exchanger 18, is compressed in compressor 70 and is then condensed against a vaporising product oxygen stream to form the gaseous oxygen. The resulting condensed nitrogen is then flashed into a tank 54. The flash vapour is added to the nitrogen stream upstream of its compression, thereby increasing the rate at which oxygen can be vaporised. Resultant liquid nitrogen condensate is introduced into the low pressure column 24 as reflux to allow the withdrawal of the liquid oxygen. Any excess amounts of the liquid oxygen and condensed nitrogen not immediately used are stored. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for preparing [l]- or [d]-homoalanin-4-yl (methyl)phosphinic acid and salts thereof by racemate resolution
Inventor: KNORR HARALD
IPC: C07C227/36
Filed: 1995-03-03
Abstract: The title compounds are obtained by racemate resolution of D,L-homoalanin-4-yl(methyl)phosphinic acid via precipitation of one of the diastereomeric salts using chiral bases such as quinine or cinchonine. It is possible to increase the yield of desired enantiomer by transformed racemate resolution when the precipitation of the diastereomeric salt takes place with the racemization of the undesired enantiomer in the presence of (hetero)-aromatic aldehydes. The racemization method is also suitable for structurally different optically active amino acids.

Title: Gate valve.
Inventor: CLARKSON CURTIS W
IPC: F16K3/02
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A packingless gate valve is disclosed which includes a housing (11) having opposed similar housing halves (30,32) with primary resilient sleeve units (53,54) which compressibly engage each other in the valve open condition and engage opposite sides of the gate in the valve closed condition. A secondary resilient seal unit (80) is positioned above the primary sleeve units (53,54) within the housing (11) and is secured between the housing halves (30,32). The secondary seal unit (80) engages the gate (14) during the opening and closing cycles and prevents any discharge seeping between the primary sleeves from leaking to the atmosphere around the gate (14) or on the actuator end of the valve. An enlarged clean out area (70) cast into the housing (11) extends circumferentially around the primary sleeve units (53,54) in one embodiment so as to provide containment for any discharge during an actuating cycle. The housing (11) is further provided with flush ports in fluid communication with the clean out area (70) to allow controlled draining or flushing of the contained slurry. The gate valve construction of the present invention results in no leakage to the outside when the valve is fully open and no leakage to the outside or past the gate (14) internally when the valve is fully closed. <IMAGE>

Title: A vibration isolator
Inventor: BRAUN DR DIETER
IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 1985-07-30
Granted: 1988-01-20
Abstract: An arrangement for testing a flow meter which issues a first train of pulses in response to the rotation of a rotatable member thereof includes a measuring cylinder-and-piston unit that has a cylinder, a piston slidably received in the cylinder and displacing a known comparison volume of a fluid out of the cylinder for delivery to the flow meter, and a piston rod which extends to the exterior of the cylinder. A photoelectric sensing arrangement is mounted on the piston rod for joint movement therewith along a stationary volume scale to scan distancing markings of such scale and issue a second train of pulses in response to the detection thereof. A first of such distancing markings is so situated that the sensing arrangement encounters the same only after the piston rod has covered an initial distance corresponding to a running-in distance of the piston. A lug with countermarkings corresponding to the distancing markings is mounted on the piston rod and interposed in the light path of the photoelectric sensing arrangement to mask and unmask the distancing markings and thus to achieve a pronounced light-dark effect. The first pulse of the second pulse train triggers the counting of the pulses of the first pulse train which are correlated to the number of revolutions of the rotatable member of the flow meter, and a correction is made after the termination of a test run for pulse fractions occurring at the beginning and at the end of the testing run.
