Abstract: The procedure for treating liquid effluent bearing a risk of biological contamination consists of sterilizing them in an autoclave that is filled by applying a vacuum to it. The volume of the effluent transferred to the autoclave is measured by weight and/or probes inside the autoclave, and the air or other gases present and/or dissolved in the effluent is extracted by a water-ring vacuum pump through a sterilizing filter. The effluent to be treated can also be degassed by injecting steam directly into the autoclave until a temperature of over 99 degrees C is reached, after which the vacuum is halted and the temperature and pressure are allowed to rise to the level selected for decontamination/sterilization.

Abstract: A multi-reel apparatus for use in a drying section of a papermaking machine allows a web to be continuously wound without interruption. The apparatus includes a web support and a pair of vertically stacked reeling stations located along an inclined portion of the web support. Each reeling station has at least one reeling device operable to hold and rotatably drive a core onto which the web can wound to form a roll. Each reeling device is further operable to move the core into engagement with the web on the web support to initiate winding of the web onto the core, and to move the core away from the web support when the roll is fully wound. Winding is alternated between reeling devices, allowing the completed roll to be removed and a new core to be loaded at one reeling station while the other reeling station continues in full winding operation.

Abstract: A multi-path time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (MP-ADC) exploits an additional reference ADC cyclically connected in parallel to each ADC component part to be calibrated of the multi-path ADC, which can be of any kind, in particular sigma-delta, to whom conventional calibration techniques cannot be applied because of its stochastic behaviour. For each ADC component part the algebraic differences between successive digital outputs of the reference ADC and the ADC under calibration are forwarded to an accumulator circuit (13) which integrates them over a given time slot, obtaining a digital word (CH1',...,CH4') proportional to the difference between the offset of the two paths. A digital adder adds up the digital word so obtained to the output of the ADC component part under calibration multiplied by a scale factor which depends on the length of the given time slot. After a reasonable time the voltage offset of each individual path is proportional to the voltage offset of the only reference path, not necessarily zero. Optionally, the outputs of the digital adder are de-scaled by the same scale factor, restoring the original value. The time-interleaved ADC is continuously running and the voltage offset calibration is performed in background without affecting the normal operation (fig.7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dual-column, dual-detector gas detector and analyzer employs both a photo-ionization detector and a flame-ionization detector. In a survey mode, samples of ambient air are driven through both detectors, and the outputs of both detectors are used to determine the presence of one or more gasses. In analysis mode, fixed-volume samples of ambient air are driven through two elution columns having different properties. The output of each elution column is fed to one of the detectors. The arrival times of gas peaks at the two detectors are employed to develop two lists of candidate gasses. The lists are cross-checked for the presence of each candidate on both lists. Candidates identified from their presence on both lists are identified. A further check attempts to identify candidates which are identifiable from their presence on one of the lists, and not on the other. Components identified in this way are added to the final list. Unidentified components are discarded, although their presence is noted and reported as unknown. Portability is retained by eliminating isothermal ovens and by reducing the quantity of hydrogen required. A simplified way of characterizing temperature corrections of elution columns is disclosed.
