Title: Tungsten recovery
Inventor: ANDERSON DIANA MARY
IPC: C22B34/36
Filed: 1986-03-25
Abstract: The scarcity of high grade tungsten ores obliges users to seek to recover it from scrap materials, but drill bits in particular pose especial problems. Existing proposals to use acidic hydrogen peroxide to oxides and solubilize tungsten is extremely inefficient in reagent consumption per unit tungsten recovered. According to the present invention, hydrogen peroxide can be used considerably more efficiently in the extraction of tungsten into an aqueous acidic solution by employing certain promoters which are solid at 50 DEG  C. in the form of fused blocks. These blocks release the promoter slowly into the reaction solution and achieve similar efficiency of use of hydrogen peroxide and acid but at markedly reduced consumption of promoter in comparison with the same promoter added in powder or granular form. Examples of such promoter are hydroxy or amino substituted aromatic carboxylic acids e.g. 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. The promoters can most conveniently be used in a multi-stage tungsten extraction process.

Title: A cross-coupling between two bogies of a rail vehicle
IPC: B61G5/02
Filed: 1987-11-30
Abstract: The transverse coupling connects two drawbar-like linkages (10, 11) on the bogie. The first linkage (10) contains a fork-like end piece (12) with two stops (13, 14) opposing one another in a transverse direction. The second linkage (11) contains an end piece (15) with guide parts (16, 17) arranged one on top of another for a spring unit (20) insertable between the stops (13, 14) on the first linkage (10). The spring unit (20) contains a transverse spring element (21) arranged between two supporting elements (22, 23) which, when the transverse coupling is in the neutral centre position, rests by way of the supporting elements (22, 23) against support fixtures (24, 25) formed on the guide parts (16, 17). The supporting elements (22,23) each have a contact surface (22a or 23a) which can be brought together with the adjoining stop (13 or 14) on the first linkage (10) in such a way that it cannot slip. In the event of a transverse movement of one of the linkages (10 or 11), one of the supporting elements (22 or 23) is lifted from the support fixture (24 or 25) in question by the stop (13 or 14) on the first linkage (10) penetrating between the guide parts (16, 17). The end piece (15) surrounds the spring unit (20) with clearances which permit all-round, unimpeded relative movements of the lifted supporting element (22 or 23), all relative movements between the linkages (10 and 11) being absorbed free of wear by deformation of the spring element (21). This arrangement is particularly advantageous on constructions with large spring deflections. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and sensor for measuring electric voltages and/or electric field strengths
Inventor: PEIER DIRK
IPC: G01R15/24
Filed: 1993-02-16
Abstract: A process for measuring electric voltages and/or electric fields by the use of a crystal with an electro-optical (Pockels) effect. To this end, in a direction transverse to the direction of propagation (y direction) of a light wave polarized in the z direction, an electric field intensity gradient is generated in the crystal in the direction from which results a corresponding gradient in the refractive index n of the crystal. This produces a deflection of the light wave in the crystal which depends upon the field intensity and on emergence, it is used as a measure for the voltage of field intensity. A suitable sensor for this purpose is also described.
Patent ZA-933213-B (ZA)
Title: Apparatus and method for removing compounds from a solution
Inventor: SMITH CLARK ROBERT
IPC: C12G3/08
Filed: 1993-05-07
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the treatment of fluids, particularly wine, to remove unwanted substances. The wine is treated in a reverse osmosis (R.O.) treatment unit, generating a retentate and a raw permeate. The membrane for the R.O. unit is selected to pass in the permeate the unwanted substances, such as volatile acidity (ethyl acetate and acetic acid). The raw permeate is subjected to a treatment column. In the case of volatile acidity, this is an anion exchange column, which removes the acetic acid from the permeate by anion exchange and removes the ethyl acetate by base hydrolysis. This produces a purified permeate, which is depleted in volatile acidity, but contains other components desirable for the wine. The purified permeate is then recombined with the retentate from the R.O. column, and the result is wine with the volatile acidity and little else removed. This wine may be recirculated through the system to remove yet more of the volatile acidity. Before the anion exchange step, a low-energy distillation may be used to remove CO2, H2S, or other relatively volatile compounds. To remove acetaldehyde, a low-energy distillation column is used instead of the anion exchange column, and the distillation residue constitutes the purified permeate that is recombined with the retentate from the R.O. column. A high-energy distillation column may be used to separate out alcohol and water, and then add either the alcohol or the water back to the R.O. retentate, thus producing either a higher alcohol or a lower alcohol beverage.

Title: Polymeric ophthalmic lens with crosslinker containing saccharide residue
Inventor: MOLOCK FRANK F
IPC: C08G83/00
Filed: 1994-04-11
Abstract: An ophthalmic lens, particularly a soft hydrogel contact lens, is disclosed. The lens can be derived from a crosslinked polymer made by reacting a hydrophilic monomer with a crosslinking amount of a polyfunctional compound containing a saccharide residue. The preferred hydrophilic monomer is actually a mixture of the following individual hydrophilic monomers: a) the reaction product of a free radical reactive monoisocyanate and a monoalkoxy polyalkylether, b) N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and optionally c)hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The preferred polyfunctional compound is a prepolymer derived from an alkoxylated glucose or sucrose. This prepolymer can be made by reacting glucose or sucrose, which has been ethoxylated or propoxylated, with a free radical reactive isocyanate which has been capped. The free radical reactive isocyanate can be capped by reacting it with a polyalkylether, such as polyethylene glycol, and then reacting this intermediate with a diisocyanate. Advantageously, a fluorinated monomer is added to the reactive components from which the crosslinked polymer of the lens is derived. The preferred fluoromonomer is composed of the reaction product of a free radical reactive monoisocyanate and perfluorooctanol. The polymerization is ideally carried out in the presence of an inert diluent, preferably the boric acid ester of polyethylene glycol 400.
