Abstract: A method of constructing high-friction piles in the ground is provided, wherein the amount of excavated soil from prebored holes can be reduced, and the total number of piles which must be set for a pile foundation can be reduced. An auger is utilized which comprises an elongated shaft (1) and a helical blade (2, 3) extending around the shaft (1) and projecting radially from the periphery of the shaft (1). The shaft comprises a first helical blade (2) along the length of the main portion thereof with an inclination angle in the positive direction of rotation and at least one second helical blade (3) only along the top portion of the shaft (1) with an inclination angle in the opposite or reverse direction as that of the first helical blade (2). When drilling such an auger into the ground, the agitated soil is thrust sideways into the ground so that a plastic zone (A) is formed around the hole up to a prescribed range. Next, a hardening agent (4) is poured into the hole, and then a support or reinforcement material (5) is inserted into the hardening agent (4) before the hardening agent (4) hardens completely. The support material (5) and the plastic zone (A) surrounding the hole form together a monolithic pile. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for verifying ownership of articles is based on attributing a unique article number, an ownership certificate and a geographical area to each article. The ownership certificate carries an individual certification number different from the article number. A central computer (6) with a database (7) contains a list of the geographical area, article number and certification number of each article. The system can be queried by entering the article and certification numbers as well as the geographical location of the enquirer. The geographical location can be retrieved automatically from the technical information accompanying the enquirer's phone call. The system then indicates if the two numbers match or if the do not match. It also checks if the enquirer is located within the geographical area of the article and issues an alert if this is not the case. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for manufacturing multiple channel membranes includes extruding a polymer solution through an extrusion nozzle wherein several needles are arranged through which a gas or liquid containing a coagulating agent is injected during extrusion, wherein the outer side of the extruded material is first brought into contact with a mild coagulation agent and subsequently with a strong coagulation agent. By using the method a membrane is obtained having parallel channels extending in extrusion direction, in which an active layer is situated in the channels, whereas the outer surface with respect to the active layer has no or hardly any resistance to flows of liquid. By using the method it is possible to make shapes, such as recessed portions, in the membrane circumference. Also disclosed is the use of such membranes in filtration and separation techniques.
