Abstract: To dry accumulated filter cakes in the filter chamber (4) of a filter press, the cakes are heated only at the side away from the membrane (6). The temperature is set according to the boiling point of the retained liquid under vacuum, so that a vapor layer is formed to penetrate through the filter cake and press the retained liquid against the drainage surface of the unheated membrane (6). The heat is distributed evenly over the filter cake surface so that the transit zone between the vapor and liquid phases is even and homogenous through the filter cake, without local vapor break-through points. The vacuum is applied during the final press phase, to accelerate the drainage action, and the heating of the filter cake surface starts during the final press phase. Heating elements are directly at the filter cake surfaces. During drying under final press pressure, the filter cakes lie against the membrane (6), using a final pressure which is higher than the vapor pressure of the retained fluid in the cake. The pressure medium for the membrane can be cooled or heated to set raised temp. differences or to match process requirements within a restricted range. Vacuum is applied at the filter outlet or the inlet for the clouded liquid for filtering. An Independent claim is included for a filter press with a heating element directly between two filter membrane units (1). The filter surface has filter openings for the filtrate, evenly distributed over it. Preferred Features: The filtrate outflow channels, at the corner of the membrane filter unit (1), has a preferably triangular cross section to improve the flow. The plate frame (3) has a vacuum-tight edge seal, with an inner integrated filter cake clamp. The heater is of a material with high thermal conductivity, and preferably metal. The side of the heater towards the filter membrane unit (1) is flat or part of the filter cake, without drainage surfaces. The heater is in one or more parts, held together by an adhesive or welding or with additional seals. The heater has heating channels which are round and/or oval and/or rectangular, in a serpentine layout. The heaters have a thermal insulation at the edges of the frame. The heaters have electrical heating conductors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for intermittently conveying and positioning vehicles (1) along a machining line (10), said vehicles rolling on their own wheels (5). Conveying systems such as plate conveyors (32) or drag chain conveyors (13) with which the vehicles can be lifted and moved on to the next stage, are allocated to the vehicle wheels (5) on each side of the vehicle. The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this type which is suitable for automation, which can be used for vehicles of different types and which can position and align the vehicles transversally and longitudinally accurately and efficiently. At each workstation (11), a prismatic wheel trough (15, 36) is therefore allocated to each of the two wheel tracks (9). Said troughs are able to accommodate wheels (5) of different sizes in the same position. The vehicle wheels (5) are supported in the troughs in such a way that they can move crosswise. A wheel contact plate (21, 37) is arranged at a certain distance from each wheel trough (15, 36). These wheel contact plates (21, 37) support the wheels (5) of the other vehicle axle in such a way that they can move crosswise. The wheel contact plates (21, 37) can be configured to cover all of the various centre distances (A) of the different types of vehicles processed in the machining line (10). The same applies to the breadth (B) of the roll-off tracks (9) of the wheel troughs (15, 36) and the wheel contact plates (21, 37). A pair of moveable, guided centering rims (25, 25') which project above the roll-off level of the roll-off tracks (9) are allocated respectively to the wheel troughs (15, 36) and the wheel contact plates (21, 37). These rims (25, 25') can be applied to the mirror-inverted sides (6) of the vehicle tyres (5) and can be moved crosswise to the direction of travel (X) and positively synchronously and inversely symmetrically to the centre line (24) of the machining line (10) by means of a centring mechanism (26).

Abstract: An optical multiplexer and demultiplexer for dense wavelength division multiplexed ("DWDM") fiber optic communication systems is disclosed. As a multiplexer, the device functions to spatially combine the optical signals from several laser sources (each of which is a different wavelength) and launch the spatially combined laser beams into a single optical fiber. As a demultiplexer, the device functions to spatially separate the different wavelengths of a wavelength division multiplexed optical link and launch each of the different wavelengths into a different optical fiber. In either embodiment, the device includes both bulk optic and integrated optic components. The spatial separation or spatial combination of laser beams of different wavelength is achieved with the use of bulk diffraction gratings. Also, bulk optical components are used to collimate and shape the free space propagating laser beams to enable efficient coupling of light into single mode optical fibers, or integrated optic waveguides, and to reduce optical cross talk. Polarizing beamsplitters orient the polarization direction of the light to enable maximum diffraction efficiency by the gratings and to reduce the polarization dependent loss. Further, the end faces of optical fibers and integrated optic waveguides are angle polished to reduce back reflection and thereby reduce noise caused by feedback to the laser source. Preferably, the diffraction grating and focusing optics are specified to permit multiplexing and demultiplexing of laser wavelengths separated by 0.4 nanometers (nm) in the 1550 nm wavelength band. The preferred field of view of the optics permit multiplexing and demultiplexing of up to 32 wavelength channels separated by 0.4 nanometers in the 1550 nm wavelength band. Although examples of performance are provided for the 1550 nm optical wavelength band, the device components can be designed for use at other wavelength bands, e.g., the optical fiber low absorption loss band at lambd~1310 nm.

Abstract: Un dispositivo per comunicazioni senza fili (106, 108) incorpora un conveniente metodo per memorizzare/abilitare funzioni preferite che vengono attivate quando il dispositivo per le comunicazioni si trova in un modo "di riserva" o "standby". Recenti prodotti e sistemi atti ad operare con sistemi cellulari hanno migliorato la funzionalità di un dispositivo per comunicazioni senza fili quando un utente non è presente. Per esempio, la trasmissione di messaggi digitali cellulari, messaggi per segnalazioni personali e facsimile o file di calcolatori per mezzo di reti cellulari può essere eseguita quando un telefono cellulare non è direttamente sorvegliato. La presente invenzione elimina la necessità che un utente abilita il funzionamento nel modo "di riserva" prima che un dispositivo per comunicazioni (404) venga lasciato senza diretta sorveglianza. Inoltre, la presente invenzione fornisce la possibilità di abilitare funzioni preferite (306) quando il dispositivo per comunicazioni opera nel modo standby.
