Title: Fremgangsmaate og apparat for fjerning av olje, og flytende substanser generelt, fra vannoverflater.
Inventor: TOFFOLI MIRELLA DE
IPC: E02B/
Filed: 1990-09-17
Abstract: Fremgangsmåte for innsamling av avfallsstoffer som flyter på en vann- overflate, hvilken fremgangsmåte omfatter en utskilling av et overflate- lag som inneholder forurensningene, fra de nederste lag, hvoretter overflate- laget utsettes for flere påfølgende arbeidsoperasjoner som trinnvis konsen- trerer avfallet og utstøter det under- liggende vann. Et apparat for å gjennomføre en slik fremgangsmåte omfatter en flytende struktur med god sjødyktighet og tilpasset for å kunne bli demontert i flere deler (A,A,B,C,M), hvilken struktur er forsynt med separasjonsan- ordninger for å utskille et relativt tynt overflatelag som inneholder hele F mengden av avfall, og anordninger for å innføre dette i et stort, bevegelig basseng (B) som er utformet for å følge de viktigste bølgebevegelser, med anordninger for utstøting av utskilt vann, med overføringsar.ordninger for å overføre væske som allerede inneholder en konsentrasjon oljeholdige stoffer til et system av tanker som kommuniserer med hverandre for ytterligere utskilling oc endelig separasjon av olje fra vann, og med dempningsutstyr for å motvirke innvendige bølgebevegelser. Apparatet krever hverken kontinuerlig personell for overvåkning ombord eller avbrytelser av driften ved lossing av de oppsamlede, oljeholdige avfalls- stoffene .

Title: Gjenvinning av saltsyre
Inventor: HOLLITT MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: C01B/
Filed: 1993-07-19
Abstract: Det er beskrevet en fremgangsmåte til regenerering av van- dige klorid-lutevaesker. Fremgangsmåten innbefatter røsting av vandig klorid-lutevaeske for å frembringe metalloksyd og en gass inneholdende HC1. Gassen som inneholder HC1 føres gjen- nom en forkonsentrator (3) hvor den bringes i kontakt med vandig klorid-avlut. Gassens varmeinnhold fordamper vann fra avluten, slik at den konsentreres. På samme tid absorberer avluten HC1. HC1 som ikke er absorbert i forkonsentratoren ('3) bringes i kontakt med vann til dannelse av saltsyre. Saltsyren kan blandes med den konsentrerte avlut og benyttes om igjen. Det er likeledes beskrevet apparatur for utførelse av fremgangsmåten. syre fra roganererlng

Abstract: An amorphous, micro/mesoporous silica-alumina gel with controlled pore size, having a surface area of at least 500 m<2>/g and with a molar ratio of SiO2:Al2O3 of at least 30:1, is prepared by hydrolysing and causing a tetra-alkyl ammonium hydroxide, an aluminum trialkoxide, and a tetra-alkyl orthosilicate to gelate, by operating at a temperature equal to, or higher than, the boiling temperature, under atmospheric pressure, of any alcohols which are developed as a by-product from said hydrolysis reaction, without said alcohols being removed, or being substantially removed, from the reaction media; and the so produced gel being dried and fired. So obtained gel is an active catalyst in hydrocarbon conversion reactions, in particular in light olefin isomerization and oligomerization processes, e.g., in propylene oligomerization processes to yield useful liquid hydrocarbons for gasoline and jet fuel formulation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inhibiting an immune response and a method for inhibiting rejection of transplanted tissues. This method comprises preventing an endogenous molecule on a cell selected from the group consisting of gp39 and CD40 antigens from binding its endogenous ligand and preventing an endogenous molecule on a cell selected from the group consisting of CTLA4, CD28, and B7 antigens from binding its endogenous ligand. The prevention of such molecules from binding their ligand thereby blocks two independent signal pathways and inhibits the immune response resulting in transplanted tissue rejection.

The system includes, in one cell, at least two subeeils, which include an anrenna unit and in which all available frequencies are dynamically used. All antenna units listen to control channels that subscriber terminals use for connection set-up and a base station measures the power level of the control channels through the antenna units, on the basis of which an antenna unit providing the strongest sigxzal is selected for conricction set-up. The base station measures through the antenna units the interference level of all available traffic channels, on the basis of which that traffic channel in an antenna unit selected for connection set-up which has the least interference is selected for communication. The base station measures through the antenna units the power level of the signals of subscriber terminals having a uaffic connection.
