Abstract: Viscoreduction process for a hydrocarbon-rich load in the liquid state, in which this load is brought to a temperature which provokes cracking at least part of the hydrocarbons present, is then introduced into the lower part of a maturer (3) in which it moves from bottom to top and is removed from the top to a fractionating unit. An inert gas is injected into the maturer in the hydrocarbon load, at least at the base of the unit near its side walls. The gas is injected towards the top along the side walls of the maturer and circulates from bottom to top along the walls, in the same direction as the hydrocarbon load. Also claimed is device for carrying out the above process. Preferably the gas is injected into the maturer at several different levels next to the side walls, by injectors arranged in a coronet. The gas is injected into the hydrocarbon load after it is heated, upstream of the maturer in the direction of flow of the load. For a flow of hydrocarbons of between 75 and 200 t/h, the gas flow is between 0.2 and 3 t/h, preferably between 0.5 and 2 t/h.

Abstract: In a method for producing ice cube bags or similar bags two or more layers of plastic foil superimposed on each other are supplied from a plastic foil stock and are joined with at least one web of high temperature resistant material such as teflon to form a sandwich of the web of high temperature resistant material and the plastic foils. The sandwich is conveyed to a stamping or welding station in which it is subjected to a stamping or welding operation by applying pressure and heat to the exterior surface of the web of high temperature resistant material in specific areas corresponding to the intended stamped or welded areas of the finished ice cube bag, the web of high temperature resistant material serving as a pressure and temperature transmitting web, and the application of pressure and heat causing an at least partial melting of the mutually opposite surfaces of the plastic foils in the specific areas and causing the web to be pressed down into and adhere to the plastic foils in these areas. The sandwich is then conveyed from the stamping and welding station, keeping the web of high temperature resistant material adhered to the plastic foils for supporting the softened and at least partially melted plastic foils in order to prevent the plastic foils from being stretched during the conveyance, and the adhered web of high temperature resistant material is then stripped off the plastic foils after cooling the plastic foils to a sufficiently low temperature to prevent them from being deformed during conveyance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the strength of a magnetic field, comprises a first controller (14), a second controller (15), a digital-to-analog converter (16), a current driver (17), and a bias coil (18). The first controller (14) determines the position of the focal point of a lens (29) and passes it to the second controller (15), which provides a digital signal related to the position. The digital-to-analog converter (16) converts the digital signal to a driver voltage and passes the driver voltage to a current driver (17), which provides to the bias coil (18) a bias current related to the driver voltage. The bias coil (18) produces a magnetic field having a strength related to the bias current. The second controller (15) accounts for stray magnetic fields in creating the digital signal. The stray magnetic fields may be constant or may vary in strength based on position of the objective lens (29), circumferential velocity of the storage medium (2, 4), or longitudinal velocity of the storage medium (2, 4). Furthermore, the apparatus may comprise a current sensor (26) for measuring the bias current, and a feedback device for providing to the current driver (17) a feedback voltage related to the bias current. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to press-in lids for forming a snug sealing fit therebetween, the internal wall (20b) and a cover ring (30, 30a, 30b) which has two vertical wall sections pointing upwards. The object of the invention is to act against quick-leak filling fluids, paints or glazes by sealing means but that it should be possible to re-close the press-in lid so that the seal provided is just as efficient. It should also be possible to print on or coat the cover surface (20a) of the press-in lid (20, 20a, 20b), it being possible to dry or bake said print or coating at a high temperature to provide externally information identifying the container contents sealed by the lid. It is also proposed to provide a press-in lid which does not have a coating in the edge region thereof or only has a internal lacquer coating (22b, 22). A thin layer (32, 32a) protecting against leakage is only applied to sides of the cover ring on its vertical inner wall (30b). Said layer protecting against leakage consists, in particular, of polypropylene. The snug sealing fit is achieved between the vertical wall (20b) of the press-in lid and the thin layer protecting against leakage on the cover ring.
