Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for recovering the metal values from materials containing at least one of zinc and tin, by smelting the starting materials under oxidizing conditions and reducing the resultant molten bath. The starting materials are first smelted in a furnace while adding flux, to form a slag which is sluggish at selected reduction temperatures and has a low lead contents. The reduction process is carried out while charging solid carbonaceous reduction agent and optionally also sulphur- and/or chlorine-donor material to the slag. The reduction agent and optionally supplied donor material is brought into suspension with the slag, and this suspension is sustained at least during the latter phase of the reduction period, at which the lead content of the slag has fallen to beneath about 1-2%, during which phase the reduction of zinc and tin takes place. Zinc is recovered from the furnace in the form of zinc vapor, while tin optionally is removed as volatile tin sulphide, chloride or oxide, and lead and any other metal values present in the starting materials are recovered as a molten lead phase.
Abstract:
A ventilation element for example a valve is anchored in an opening in a ceiling or wall of limited thickness by means of a connecting piece in form of a cylindric pipe with a stop flange and equipped with a plurality of elongated, narrow wings of a resilient material and tangentially projecting from the shell surface and arranged to be pressed towards said surface momentarily during the insertion by a screwing motion of said pipe and then -- after final insertion -- said wings extending radially along one border line against the rear side of said ceiling or wall.
Abstract:
A folding sport stroller, comprising at least one pair of angular supporting legs pivotally mounted in relation to one another, in the supporting end of which wheels, pivoted on wheel axles at right angles to the supporting legs, are arranged, the first supporting leg, for instance the rear one, being extended upwards beyond the pivoting shaft between the legs, the extension carrying a blocking lever pivoted on it, which has a locking part in engagement with a locking device adjacent the other leg, when the stroller is in ready to use-state so that the extension of the supporting leg, the portion of the blocking lever between said extension and the locking part as well as the part of the other supporting leg between the locking device and its pivot in the first leg, in the said state of the stroller, generally form a triangle-shaped locking construction maintaining the supporting legs in a fixed position in relation to each other.
Abstract:
A cable termination device of the dry type, including an insulator housing with an upper end and a lower end and having a hollow interior, which lower end has an opening for insertion of the cable. The device further includes a stress controller device located inside the insulator housing and adapted to be mounted on a high voltage cable, and an electrically insulating gel filling at least part of the hollow interior of the insulator housing and surrounding at least part of the stress controller device. Further, the stress controller device extends from the lower end of the insulator housing and into the housing where it has a free end, whereby a space is formed between the stress controller device and an inner wall of the insulator housing.
Abstract:
For trowelling concrete spread over a floor, a trowelling device is used, which includes a carrier having a cantilever arm swingable over the floor. At the distal end of the arm a rotatable trowelling member is carried in a pedestal structure permitting vertical adjustment of the floor contacting parts. A laser sends a horizontal beam at a predetermined level over the floor, and an upwardly directed measuring rod at the housing of the trowelling member is provided with a detector for catching the beam, and for transferring deviations of the beam from a mark thereon into signals for adjusting the position of the trowelling member.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of an arrangement for generating fast wavelength-switched optical signal are described herein. In some embodiments, the arrangement can be integrated with lasers, optical waveguides, optical splitters and gates to form a fast wavelength switched monolithic optical source. In some embodiments, an optical modulator is incorporated into the arrangement to form a fast wavelength switched optical transmitter.

Abstract:
Method, aggregate and vehicle wash equipment to with at least one fluid jet remove from an exterior surface of a vehicle (F) solid and liquid particles and where appropriate also increase the lustre of the surface, where the jet is brought to move along the surface during simultaneous exercise of a substantially horizontal oscillating movement.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for detecting cancer on skin of humans and mammals by picturing spectroscopy. The method includes that delta aminolevulimic acid ALA is applied on the skin on that area where cancer is suspected to be present, the substance is removed after 1 to 24 hours, and the area is illumiated with light having a wave-length of 330-440 nm and the fluorescent irradiation which arises is registered and evaluated, which radiation has a wave-length 610-715 nm. The invention also includes an arrangement for performing the method.
