Abstract: Filtration process and filters for use with materials such as, but no limited to, polymeric melts, utilizing a band (18) of a filter medium sealed in a housing (10) by sealing rollers (24, 26) to seal the polymeric material from leaking to the outside of the housing. In one embodiment, the sealing rollers make it possible to advance the filter medium through the housing continuously. In various embodiments, the filter medium can be advanced either by a take-up spool (32) or by driving the sealing rollers and the rate of movement of the filter medium through the housing can be controlled to maintain a constant pressure drop across the filter. Maintaining constant conditions through continuous advancement of the filter medium during filtration yields higher product quality and dimensional stability.

Abstract: A prefilled syringe system is provided for two component pharmaceuticals, which is a combination of a first subassembly consisting of a capped bottomless pharmaceutical vial containing a first component and closed at its bottom end by a piston which can be connected to a plunger and a second subassembly consisting of a shell containing a second component and closed by a further piston and located in telescopable relationship with the plunger, a cap which can be forced onto the cap of the bottomless vial, and a double ended needle or a functionally equivalent cannula assembly which is caused to pierce both pistons as the assemblies are connected by forcing the cap onto the bottomless vial, thus placing the vials in communication. The shell vial is pressed towards the bottomless vial to express its contents into the latter, and the plunger and shell vial are then removed so that the cap and needle are left connected to the bottomless vial and the plunger may be connected to the piston of the bottomless vial to convert it into a syringe. The shell vial may telescope either over or within the plunger. In the first case, the plunger acts to operate the piston of the shell vial during expression of its contents, whereas in the latter case a separate component is required for this purpose.

Date Feb. 17, 1994.The present invention relates to a process for removing harmful hydrocarbons, particularly plant protective aerosols and vapors, from the fresh air supplied to a vehicle cabin. The loaded fresh air is subjected to a partial condensation with subsequent phase separation. The fresh air is cooled below the dew point of the components to be removed in a type of cold trap. It has a device for collecting and draining the obtained condensate. A standard cooling plant may be installed for providing the cold necessary for partial condensation. If the vehicle is already equipped with an air conditioning system, then the cooling necessary for partial condensation is tapped directly from the air conditioner cycle. It is possible for the fresh air stream to be passed over the evaporator of the air conditioner. The cold air stream present following the removal of the condensate can be warmed in heat exchange with fresh air which is to be cooled prior to its further release into the vehicle cabin. This prevents an overcooling of the vehicle cabin.

Abstract: An array of spaced parallel linear radiation beams are projected across a passage in sequentially spaced regions. Detectors sense when the beams are interrupted by one or more persons moving in the passage in either of two opposite directions. The beams are interrupted at different times in a sequence corresponding to the number of and direction of movement of persons. The sequentially generated interrupted beam signals are stored as object movement historic information in memory and later processed to generate composite beam interrupt patterns manifesting the number of persons and direction of movement, the patterns being a function of time domain and sensor index, i.e., sensor identity and position in the passage. The resulting generated patterns are compared to reference patterns utilizing computerized pattern recognition analysis such as with an artificial neural network. The comparison classifies the persons in the passage into direction of movement and number.

Abstract: In the case of conventional radial wheels, the outside diameter of the blade ring between hub disc and cover disc is constant. The problem here is that the flow rate decreases greatly in the vicinity of the cover disc. As a result, efficiency and power density of the wheel are impaired. Wheels are also already known, in the case of which the diameter of the blade ring increases from the hub disc to the cover disc by about 10.5 to 35 %. According to calculations of the inventor, undesired shear flows here, involving considerable losses, can be avoided only by twisting the blades. For the manufacture of twisted blades, complicated special tools are required, so that a single-piece or small-series production is not economical as a rule. The new wheel has blades (3) which are simple to manufacture and are plane or cylindrically curved. An increase in the efficiency and power density is achieved in that the diameter of the blade ring on the cover disc (2) is 1 to 6 % greater than on the hub disc (1). The wheel is particularly suitable for single-piece or small-series production. <IMAGE>
