Patent NO-158483-B (NO)
Inventor: STREIBEL ADOLF
IPC: A46B15/00
Filed: 1983-12-27
Abstract: A toothbrush whose handle is provided with a disc-shaped or otherwise configurated indicia-bearing member extending laterally beyond one or both marginal portions of the handle. The indicia-bearing member can constitute that end portion of the handle which is remote from the bristles, such member can be adjacent to this end portion, or such member can be nearer to the bristles than to this end portion of the handle. One or more hooks and sockets can be provided on the indicia-bearing member to facilitate suspension of the toothbrush in such orientation that the bristles are located at the upper or lower end of the handle. The indicia-bearing member is formed with a flat, concave or convex surface which carries one or more indicia-bearing labels and is surrounded by a raised border.

Title: Fremgangsmåte ved fjerning av sulfider fra en gasström, samt absorpsjonsmiddel for anvendelse ved fremgangsmåten

IPC: C10K1/20
Filed: 1991-01-24
Abstract: Fjerning av sulfider fra gasstrømmer mens man bruker et fast absorpsjonsmiddel inneholdende tinn, tinnoksyder eller blandinger av disse og eventuelt en stabiliserende komponent bestående av nikkel, kobolt, kobnber, jern eller oksyder av disse, finner sted ved at en sulfidholdig gasstrøm kontaktes et fast absorpsjonsmiddel som fortrinnsvis er i form av et bæremateriale inneholdende tinnkomponenten og den stabiliserende komponenten; hvorved absorpsjonsmiddelet blir sulfidert og gasstrømmen desulfidert.Deretter blir det sulfiderte absorpsjonsmiddelet reghenerert ved at det kontaktes en dampstrøm.Regenereringsprosessen som anvendes er i alt vesentlig thermonøytral, slik at man unngår overopphetning og sintring av absorpsjonsmiddelet; og det er således ikke nødvendig å anvende lave temperaturer, hvorved man unngår dannelsen av sulfater som et biprodukt.

Title: Method and apparatus for heat treatment of industrial wastes
Inventor: NICOLAS J
IPC: F23L7/00
Filed: 1979-12-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the heat treatment of industrial wastes wherein at least some of the constituent materials of the wastes are subjected to combustion and/or to pyrolysis to produce flue gases and, in some applications, a residue. The supply of an oxygenated combustion-supporting gas to the wastes is regulated as a function of at least one sensed predetermined characteristic of the flue gases. The oxygenated gas may be a mixture of air and substantially pure oxygen, the feed rate of one or both of these being regulated in response to the sensed temperature and/or oxygen content of the flue gases. Such regulation maintains the oxygen content of the flue gases within the range of from 0 to 7%; and the temperature of the flue gases may be maintained from 400 DEG  to 1200 DEG  C. and, preferably within a range of 50 DEG  C. in this region.

Title: Co-extrusion of multi-component insecticidal pet collars
Inventor: CORRIGAN EUGENE JAMES
IPC: A01N25/34
Filed: 1985-09-19
Abstract: 57 Co-extruded insectidical pet collars contain one or more active insecticidal components in a desired relationship to the skin of the animal. The outside layer (away from the skin) contains carbamate, organo-phosphate chlorinated hydrocarbon or other insecticide that is irritating to the skin, or a cholinesterase inhibitor. The inside layer acts as a barrier to the insecticide. The layers of a multi-layered collar which is prepared by extrusion may also contain different insecticidal systems. A co-extruded collar is prepared by preparing two blends which have varying concentrations of active and/or inert ingredients, depending on the end product which is desired. Each of the blends is fed into an extruder wherein the polyvinyl chloride is fused. The melt blend from extruder B is then transferred to the die of extruder A where it becomes an integral part of the extruded strip from extruder A.

Title: Device for the purification of gas streams
Inventor: BUXEL MICHAEL
IPC: B01D53/06
Filed: 1987-03-26
Abstract: The device purifies gas streams, in particular flue gases from furnaces, with multi-stage desulphurisation and intervening removal of nitrogen in moving beds of granular carbon-containing materials with transverse flow and in mixing chambers for nitrogen-removing agents with longitudinal flow. Such devices are intended to increase the flexibility of the use of multi-stage moving-bed adsorption installations, in particular under geometrically difficult conditions, in relation to operation at low loads. This is achieved by constructing a plurality of channels acting as nozzles by means of partitions between the outlet plane of the first moving bed and the mixing chamber inlet plane and by constructing channels acting as diffusers by means of partitions between the mixing chamber outlet plane and the inlet plane of the second moving bed. <IMAGE>

Title: Treatment of gases
Inventor: WATSON RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: B01D53/52
Filed: 1992-02-12
Abstract: A gas stream comprising hydrogen sulphide is preheated in a heat exchanger 2. Part of its hydrogen sulphide content is burnt in a furnace 6 to form sulphur dioxide and water vapour. Pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air is used to support combustion. The sulphur dioxide reacts with residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour and further water vapour. The sulphur vapour is removed from the gas stream in a condenser 14. The gas stream is then divided into first and second subsidiary streams. The hydrogen sulphide content of the first subsidiary stream is totally converted to sulphur dioxide in an incinerator 16 using pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air to support its combustion. Water vapour is then removed from the first subsidiary stream in a condenser 20, and the resulting gas stream now relatively rich in sulphur dioxide, is recycled to the furnace 6. The second subsidiary stream is subjected to a plurality of stages 26 of catalytic reaction between hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide to form further sulphur vapour which is removed therefrom. <IMAGE>

Title: Dry classifier for fine coal
Inventor: MEYER PHILLIPPUS JACOBUS
IPC: G01H1/00
Filed: 1994-07-15
Abstract: A highly efficient dry sorter (1) for continuous operation has a conveyor belt cover (4) with longitudinal grooves, with the corresponding conveyor surface arranged obliquely in such a way that the coarser coal runs off over the grooves while the finest coal or substance remains in them. It is thus possible for the finest coal to be extracted from the top while the coarser granules are removed by the lower longitudinal side. The belt conveyor (2) is given the necessary permanent tilt by the fact that to the underside (16) of the conveyor belt cover (4) are allocated edge supporting strips (17, 19) designed to correspond to supporting rollers (22, 23) arranged at a distance along the bearing frame (3). These supporting rollers (22, 23) are supplemented by pressure rollers permitting the even securing of the edge region on both the upper and the lower longitudinal side (20). Dry fine coal is sorted with a high throughput rate and can be further processed without any drying, thus giving rise to the minimum outsize quantities, as tests have shown.
