A method and apparatus for horizon control in a mining operation is provided. Fresh product 3 is cut from a seam 1. The cutting exposes a fresh cut product face 25. The fresh cut product face 25 is observed at a position immediately adjacent a cutter 11. Any temperature contrast regions from an IR observation between an upper limit of observation and a lower limit of observation are noted. At least one height co-ordinate position of a temperature contrast region 33 is determined and an output signal provided of the determined height co-ordinate position so that the output signal can be used as a horizon datum for horizontal control.

A thermoplastic elastomer that is adherent to polar materials may be made from a dynamically vulcanized blend of propylene resin, ethylene/alpha-olefin/non-conjugated diene elastomers, and a bonding agent via a curing system containing a free radical initiator, at least one co-agent including multifunctional acrylates containing at least two acrylate groups, multifunctional maleimides containing at least two imide groups, or mixtures of both, where the elastomer gel content in the modified blend is at least about 97 percent. Reaction mixtures, articles made therefrom, and methods of dynamically vulcanizing are also disclosed.

A control system for a mining machine which moves in passes across a seam to be mined using absolute coordinates is disclosed. The machine is carried on rail and co-ordinates of the rail are measured along the length of rail. The rail is then moved to a new position for a next pass, and the distance of moving is determined from the co-ordinates previously measured. By knowing the co-ordinates, the rail can be moved to assume a desired profile, so that a desired profile of the seam can be achieved on the next pass. Co-ordinates of the up and down movement of a shearing head can also be measured and stored with the co-ordinates along the rail to provide a profile of the seam being cut, and so that on a next pass the intended position of the shearing head can be predicted and moved accordingly.

A filter assembly, particularly for use with a plastic bottle having an open neck with an inside diameter of about 50 mm or less (e.g. about 25 mm), includes a tube of filtering material connected to one surface of a cap while a valve extends from an opposite surface of the cap. The tube is preferably of filtering material such as activated carbon with plastic binder, having a substantially continuous liquid-porous sidewall, a hollow interior, a first closed end, and a second open end. The tube is operatively connected to the cap second surface at the tube second open end by sonic welding, a mechanical connection, or adhesively. The cap has a fitting portion for cooperating with the bottle neck, such as internal screw threads or a snap portion. The valve may be a reciprocating valve, a baby bottle nipple, or a spray device. A biocidal medium may be disposed within the hollow interior of the filter tube, and the tube may be wrapped with a filter material having a pore size of about 1-4 microns. The filtering material is capable of reducing the level of chlorine and water passing through it by at least 50% at a flow rate of about 5 ml/second.

Herein is disclosed a continuous process for manufacturing purified silver nitrate solutions comprising the steps of:a) transferring a crude silver nitrate solution, together with a slurry comprising silver oxide, to a multistage agitated reactor, thereby forming a mixture;b) maintaining a continuous weight percent undissolved solids inside the reactor such that silver oxide is 10 to 80 weight percent of said undissolved solids;c) transporting the first mixture through the reactor over a period of 15 minutes to 3 hours to form a reaction product; andd) filtering the reaction products through a continuous filter to form a silver nitrate filtrate.
摘要:
A liquid treatment mechanism may easily be snapped on, or otherwise attached, to the neck of the single orifice bottle, such as a standard five gallon water bottle. An end cap is connected to a first tube of the liquid treatment mechanism, the liquid treatment element (such as activated carbon) disposed in the first tube and extending from the second end of the first tube to a termination position near, but spaced from, the first end of the first tube. A liquid inlet allows for the passage of liquid from exteriorly of the first tube into contact with the liquid treatment element. A dispensing tube (which may include a cyst or other particle filter) is disposed adjacent the first end of the first tube and extends from the liquid treatment element. An air inlet (e.g., a free about 0.02-0.1 inch diameter hole) is disposed in the first tube near its first end and exteriorly of the dispensing tube. A sheath of porous material may wrap the activated carbon, which may be either in hollow tubular or block form. Non-potable water may be treated by breaking an ampoule containing about 300 mg of calcium hypochlorite which is placed into the bottle and is dissolved by the non-potable water before the first tube is inserted into the bottle, and the water dispensed through it.

A method and apparatus for horizon control in a mining operation where fresh product 3 is cut from a seam 1. The cutting exposes a fresh cut product face 25. The fresh cut product face 25 is observed at a position immediately adjacent a cutter 11. Any temperature contrast regions from an IR observation between an upper limit of observation and a lower limit of observation are noted. At least one height co-ordinate position of a temperature contrast region 33 is determined and an output signal provided of the determined height co-ordinate position so that the output signal can be used as a horizon datum for horizontal control.

A drilling assembly (2) comprises upper (4) and lower (6) drill strings with a fluid passage (80) therethrough for distributing fluid to a bottom hole assembly (10). The upper drill string (4) has an upper end (11) connectable to a drilling apparatus (13) and fluid source (16) and a lower end (18) with an attached casing expander unit (20) that communicates the fluid passage (80) of the upper (4) and lower (6) drill strings. An upper end (22) of the lower drill string (6) is formed from a casing string (24) telescoped over the casing expander unit. A constriction (31) connects the casing string (24) with the rest of the lower drill string (6). A flow restriction device (35) in the lower drill string acts to control fluid flow through the fluid passage. In use, the flow restriction device creates a pressure in the fluid passage that acts at the constriction to advance the lower drill string past the upper drill string while simultaneously expanding the portion of the casing string moving past the expander unit.

Today when most passenger cars are fabricated without frames, many people are using vans and sports utility vehicles to pull trailers. These vehicles have improved efficiency and apparent power when equipped with a wind deflector. A wind deflector for such vehicles is disclosed which comprises a top member which is mounted on the rear portion of the vehicle and two side members having front side portions which extend downwardly from the top member along the sides of the vehicle. All said members curve outwardly from the front side portions thereof away from the vehicle. All members are molded from semi rigid plastic and have spaced braces on the rear interior side portion thereof. The top and side members are matably fitted together and releasably held together by buckles. The wind deflector is removably mounted on the vehicle using hook bolts, straps and bars which are fastened to the frame beneath the vehicle.
