Abstract: A chemically bonded medium is obtained from a resilient organic macromolecular material, in cut elongate of finely divided form (such as grass or peat). The material is dried (3, 4) under conditions permitting escape of water vapour, such that the dried material has a predominantly hydrophobic surface and a water content of not more than 10 % by weight; and then optionally flashed. The surface properties of the dried material are then equilibrated, under conditions inhibiting escape of water vapour and other volatiles, such that the predominantly hydrophobic surface is rendered predominantly hydrophilic. The product is then mixed (5) with a lignosulfonate, with application of heat in an amount sufficient to maintain the lignosulfonate in fluid form, such that the lignosulfonate forms a coating film on the surface. The lignosulfonate is caused to undergo partial polymerisation (6) (typically by heating and/or treatment with oxygen) on the surface of the dried material to produce a flowable, substantially non-resilient and non-tacky, chemically bonded medium. The bonded medium may be stored or shaped (8) under pressure to form agglomerates.

Abstract: The leak detection apparatus involves transmitting microwave signals of a predetermined frequency through a section (G) of the conduit (15) or a container (16) carrying the fluid and which is pervious to microwaves. Signals reflected from the medium are used to indicate the presence of gas bubbles, droplets, or a level of liquid moving in the conduit or the container. The conduit is designed with the section pervious to microwaves with a microwave transmitter (S) that transmits microwaves toward the section. The reflected signals are received by a receiver (M) which is connected to a detector (6). The detector transmits a signal to an alarm central when a disturbance is detected.

Abstract: To produce a sieve structure, especially for sorting fibre suspensions for papermaking pulp, the reinforcements (1) are structured so that the rods are shaped with a profile where inserted into recesses (4) which gives a fixing action to them. The holding force is at least sufficient to hold them firmly in place so that the rod (2) positions are unchanged in relation to the reinforcement during subsequent production processes. Also claimed is a sieve where the rods are secured within the recesses (4) by a bonding agent (5), so that the rods (2) cannot be detached from the reinforcement (1). Preferably the sieve sorting slits (3) have a max. width of 3 mm or 0.4 mm, at their narrowest points. The recesses (4) into the reinforcements (1) have an inwards taper from the outer surface, followed by an expansion. The inserted rod (2) has a triangular cross section with rounded corners, to give a thickening at the inserted side into the recess. The rods (2) have a shape so that, when inserted, the sorting slit ranges from the narrowest point into an expanded flow cross section in the flow direction. The bonding agent (5) is solder, which solders at a temp. of ≤ 900 degrees C, or ≥ 900 degrees C to build up in a high vacuum. The bonding agent can also be an adhesive where, at the bonding point, the reaction temp. does not exceed 200 degrees C. Or the bonding is by welding. The reinforcement (1) is not yet in its final shape while the rods (2) are inserted into their recesses (4), to be shaped into the final structure with the inserted rods in place which also clamp s the rods (2) in position.

Abstract: The controller and regulator (1) is used in a burner (2) in which combustion air is conveyed to the combustion chamber via an air blower (4). An air pressure monitor (7) monitors the conveyed air stream volume. The blower is driven in at least two load stages, and rotates in each stage with an automatically determined rotation rate. When the burner is set into operation, the blower rotates in a predetermined load stage (LS), where the rotation rate of the stage LS corresponds either to a predetermined fixed value or a value determined during the previous operation. The air pressure monitor indicates whether the conveyed air stream volume is sufficient or not. If not, the rotation rate of the blower is increased until the monitor indicates that the conveyed air volume is sufficient. The rotation rates of the remaining load stages are calculated from the value of the rotation rate of the first stage (LS).

Abstract: The method involves using an external transmitter to transmit energy (1) to a group of read and write transponders. After a time delay (TRR) the transponders emit identification signals (2-3,4-5) through allocated time windows. An external receiver receives the signals during the first window and determines if there is dispersion. If there is dispersion the supply of transmitted energy is interrupted quickly enough to deactivate all the transponders. Energy transmission is resumed and if no transponder signal dispersion is now detected, a window of reception is used to send groups of data to the transponders which are simultaneously programmed into their memories.

Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing polymeric geogrids is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) co-spinning at least one high-melting point filament yarn with a plurality of low-melting point staple fibers to form a composite yarn, the low-melting point staple fiber has a melting point that is at least 10  SIMILAR  20 DEG C lower than the melting point of the high-melting point filament yarn; (b) weaving the composite yarn to form a net-structured fabrics; (c) heating the net-structured fabrics to cause the low-melting point staple fiber to melt and wrap about the high-melting point filament yarn; and (d) cooling the net-structured to form a geogrid. One of the main advantages of this process is that it does not require the coating step (with molten PVC or asphalt), as do the prior art processes. Thus, the geogrids can be manufactured in a more cost-effective and environmentally compatible manner. The geogrid of the present invention also exhibits substantially increased junction strength as well as retaining a greater portion of its ultimate strength at elongation.
