    摘要: A newspaper de-inking system and process require much less water than conventional de-inking systems and which require much lower capital expenditure. The system removes ink from newspaper pulp in a continuous process using one or more extractors each of which performs a de-inking operation equivalent to 6 or more stages of a conventional de-inking process using reactor tanks. Water and heat are conserved still further by employing an evaporator to separate pure water from the extractor effluent and by recycling the purified water to the extractor and to other components of the system. A particularly preferred extractor employs a counterflow single-screw conveyor the flights of which have slots formed therethrough which extend counter to the direction of screw rotation. The slots permit efficient extraction using relatively little de-inking solution and at the same time obviate the need to periodically reverse the direction of screw rotation to unclog the slots. The flow of de-inking solution through the pulp and flights is determined by the dimension, number, and orientation of the slots, and by the pitch of the screw conveyor.

    摘要: A counterflow single-screw extractor includes a screw conveyor having a helical scroll formed from arcuate flight sections each having a plurality of elongated slots extending away from the direction of screw rotation and permitting the flow of effluent through the product and the flights in a manner controlled by the size, number, and orientation of the slots. The slots permit efficient extraction using relatively little extraction medium and at the same time permit a single-screw extractor to be used without having to periodically reverse the direction of screw rotation to unclog the slots and by the pitch of the screw conveyor. The inventive arrangement permits the use of a multi-section extractor employing different extraction media and/or different extraction media wash rates in different sections of the extractor.

    摘要: A system and method of probing work pieces is described. A first and second arm each having a pivot point and a guide end are pivotally coupled together at the respective pivot points. A probe tip holder is coupled to at least one of the first arm or the second arm. A guide means guides movement of the guide ends of the pivotally coupled arms, such that movement of the guide end of the first arm and the second arm move the probe tip holder in a plane parallel to the work piece surface.

    摘要: The effects of dispersion of light on a link having an optical transmission fibre characterised by positive dispersion and large positive relative dispersion slope can be reduced by employing a sufficient length of dispersion compensating fibre (“DCF”) so that dispersion slope on the link is substantially nulled and the net dispersion of the link is made negative. Optical signals launched on the link with a positive chirp will be compensated for by the net negative dispersion.

    摘要: A high-pressure high-velocity target inserter for use in steam cleaning. The target inserter uses an actuator connected to a tube assembly, which connects to a test line. The target inserter uses packing to prevent high-pressure steam from being released through the target inserter when the target rod is inserted and withdrawn from the line. In the preferred embodiment, the target rod passes through a remotely operated actuator controlled valve and a remotely controlled actuator controller, such that the operator is kept a safe distance away from the inserter when the access valve to the line is open.

    摘要: A laser machining (including marking) method that employs a diode laser pumped solid state laser is controlled by a computer that contains a program for the interaction of the laser beam with a workpiece. The pumping of the laser is synchronised with the action of the beam in a series of active machining periods alternating with inactive non-machining periods. In order to avoid overheating of the active element, the duty cycle of these periods is maintained below a chosen value and no active period is allowed to exceed a selected percentage of the thermal time constant of the active element.

    摘要: A vapor clarification system includes a suction box and a plurality of fans located on top of the suction box. The fans withdraws a moisture-laden stream from the suction box and centrifugally accelerates it, producing a clarified vapor stream and a secondary vapor stream that is heavily laden with particulate matter. The secondary vapor stream leaving each fan passes through a cyclone, where particulate matter falls out of the vapor stream. The partially clarified vapor stream leaving the cyclone is returned to the suction box and re-accelerated in the fans. By placing the fans on top of the suction box, there is a reduction in the temperature drop occurring in the vapor stream which exits the fans; this in turn reduces condensation and improves the efficiency of the system. Primary cyclones are preferably disposed within the suction box, and secondary cyclones may be placed outside of the suction box. The number of fans can also be modified to meet varying system requirements, thus providing a more flexible air-clarification system.

    摘要: A novel water softening membrane and process for making the same is described. The membrane can be prepared by treating a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane with a strong mineral acid followed by treatment with a rejection enhancing agent. The resulting membrane at transmembrane pressures of 50 psi can attain a magnesium sulfate rejection with a 0.2 percent aqueous solution of more than 90 percent with a water flux of more than 15 gallons per square foot per day.
