Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for separating zinc and/or cadmium from lead in a byproduct contaminated with said elements and/or compounds or in a residue arising during the production of metal. According to the invention, one of the steps of the method consists in creating conditions for reduction in a processing tank, introducing the byproduct in said tank and heating it to a temperature of no less than 700  DEG C. The compounds of the contamination metals contained in the byproduct are then metallized, evaporated and filtered so as to form a concentrate. The residual metal of the residue is subsequently subjected to a metal melting process. The residue, especially the dust and/or the dehydrated sludge, can be mixed with a reducing agent, especially with a reductant containing carbon, to create conditions for reduction to separate the metals and optionally compacted, for instance briquetting or pelletizing. It is then introduced into a processing tank, especially an oxygen steel converter.

Abstract: A method for estimating the frequency of a time signal by means of a discrete Fourrier transformation and interpolation between support points of the DFT spectrum. According to said method, the hamming window is used in a known manner for filter and the interpolation is carried out according to the mathematically calculated solution. The method makes use of the pact that a function of the third degree which can serve as correction distance has a clear solution within the definition range of the amount ration between a secondary maximum and a primary maximum of the DFT spectrum. The correction distance is calculated according to this solution on the basis of the ratio of the secondary maximum and the primary maximum.

Granted: 2008-02-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing or preventing fiber entry whip as the loose end of a fiber being wound on a spool enters a fiber winding device. A fiber winding device includes a spool winder entrance, a winding spool and a fiber whip shield substantially surrounding the winding spool. A fiber entry whip reducer positioned in front of the fiber winding device includes at least one pulley and a guide channel including a straight entry section and a curved section leading to the fiber winding device. The guide channel is formed and positioned such that the loose end of the fiber is maintained against the guide channel by centrifugal force imparted onto the fiber by the curvature of the channel and forward motion of the fiber produced by the rotating spool, thereby producing a trajectory such that the loose end of the fiber enters the fiber winding device and is maintained against the whip shield. By maintaining the free end of the fiber against the guide channel during fiber entry, whip damage to the fiber on the spool due to impact of the fiber end during its entry is substantially reduced or completely eliminated.

Abstract: A pulsed solid-state laser comprises an optical resonator and a solid-state laser medium placed inside the optical resonator. A saturable absorber, such as a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror device for passive mode locking is placed inside the optical resonator, and a pumping source is provided for exciting the laser gain medium to emit electromagnetic radiation. The pumping source emits pump radiation which impinges on the laser gain medium in the form of a non-diffraction-limited focused pumping beam. The product of the stimulated emission cross section times the spontaneous fluorescence lifetime is low for the laser medium, e.g., 0.1x10-23 cm2s for Ti:sapphire; nevertheless, the laser yields a high output power of a few Watt even if pumped with a non-diffraction-limited pumping beam. Pumping with a non-diffraction-limited pumping beam makes feasible solid-state lasers with remarkably smaller sizes and lower costs, but with the same performance as known lasers.
