Abstract: An apparatus for extracting liquid from a sludge/­conditioning agent mixture which comprises a first endless belt (10) of filter material; a second endless belt (12) of filter material; and rollers (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 13, 14, 15) for the belts (10, 12). That part of the belt (10) between the rollers (20, 23) is defined as a gravity de-watering zone; the part of the belts (10, 12) between the rollers (21, 13, 14, 15) is defined as a pressure de-watering zone. Filtrate is collected in a tray (17); liquid is collected in a tray (35). Monitoring means monitors a characteristic of the filtrate and the liquid to enable a rate of change in the characteristic of the filtrate/liquid to be determined. The apparatus functions at its optimum at a loading rate for the mixture which is just less than that which causes extrusion of the liquid in the pressure de-watering zone.

Abstract: An electronic braking system for a towing vehicle for towing a standard semi-trailer without such a braking system has a separate pressure control channel (32) for the generation of trailer brake pressure whenever the towing vehicle is braked or if the parking brake of the towing vehicle is applied. The pressure signal level set in the towing vehicle is a function of the driver's electrical demand signal, compensated for trailer load and operating gradient. 
     The compensation for trailer load is evaluated by assessing the total trailer mass from measurements of towing load during acceleration and substracting from this value the portion of the trailer load being supported by the towing vehicle as sensed by vertical force protection means on the towing means.

Abstract: Submersible turbidity probe. The invention relates to an infrared optical probe permitting the measuring, in the water itself, of its turbidity. It is constituted by a sleeve (Ma) shielding electronics (CE) and a probe head (Co) comprising a measurement channel (CM) in which an emitter diode (De) emits a pulsed luminous flux IR monitored by the diode (Dr.a.). The photoreceiver diode (Dr) receives the luminous flux transmitted through the measurement water, while the photoreceiver diode (Dn) recovers a fraction of the light diffused at 90 DEG  by the matter in suspension in the water (I0 DEG  and I90 DEG  signals). A part of the walls of the measurement channel exhibits a special form: the symmetric geometric profile (PGS) which eliminates all parasitic light at the site of the diode (Dn). An absorbent disc (Da) and two variants by polarisers and anti-reflection surface treatment complete this parasitic light suppression. The probe according to the invention serves to monitor turbidity of drinking water which is used up slowly. <IMAGE>
