Abstract: An apparatus contains a fluidized bed that includes particles of different triboelectrical types, each particle type acquiring an opposite polarity upon contact. The contact may occur between particles of the two types (12, 14) or between particles of either type and structure or fluid present in the apparatus. A fluidizing gas flow (19) is passed through the particles to produce the fluidized bed. Immersed within the bed are electrodes (20, 22). An alternating EMF source (24) connected to the electrodes applies an alternating electric field across the fluidized bed to cause particles of the first type to move relative to particles of the second type and relative to the gas flow. In a heat exchanger incorporating the apparatus, the electrodes are conduits (44) conveying a fluid to be heated. The two particle types alternately contact each conduit to transfer heat from a hot gas flow to the second fluid within the conduit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable nebulizer capable of producing a finely divided aerosol having uniformly sized droplets. The nebulizer includes a source of fluid (50) such as a capillary tube (40) coupled to a fluid reservoir (50) to which a high voltage is applied in order to generate the aerosol by electrical atomization. The nebulizer further includes a piezoelectric crystal (10) and a mechanism (16, 17, 18, 19, 20) for deforming the crystal (10) so as to generate the required voltage. By using electrical atomization to generate the aerosol and by piezoelectrically generating the voltage required for atomization, a nebulizer is provided which may be of small size so as to be suitable for hand held operations yet is capable of producing measured amounts of finely divided aerosols which are substantially monodispersed.

Abstract: An out-of-reactor method for screening to predict relative in-reactor hydriding behavior of zirconium-based materials is disclosed. Samples of zirconium-based materials autoclaved in a relatively concentrated (0.3 to 1.0 M) aqueous lithium hydroxide solution at constant temperatures within the water reactor coolant temperature range (280 to 316°C). Samples tested by this out-of-reactor procedure, when compared on the basis of the ratio of hydrogen weight gain to oxide weight gain, accurately predict the relative rate of hydriding for the same materials when subject to in-reactor (irradiated) corrosion.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for converting waste organic materials into an innocuous product gas. The method comprises maintaining, in a pressure vessel, in the absence of oxygen, at a temperature of 250 DEG C to 500 DEG C and a pressure of at least 50 atmospheres, a fluid organic waste material, water, and a catalyst consisting essentially of reduced nickel in an amount sufficient to catalyse a reaction of the organic waste material to produce an innocuous product gas composed primarily of methane and carbon dioxide. The methane in the product gas may be burned to preheat the organic materials or used or sold as fuel gas.

Abstract: The fracture energy of a material is determined by first measuring the length of a profile of a section through a fractured surface of the material taken on a plane perpendicular to the mean plane of that surface, then determining the fractal dimensionality of the surface. From this, the yield strength of the material, and the Young's Modulus of that material, the fracture energy is calculated.

Abstract: A sheet material (2) is disclosed which can be buried in the soil to prevent the entry of roots into unwanted regions. The sheet is a water-permeable material which holds a plurality of polymer bodies (4) containing an effective ingredient of 2,6-dinitroaniline. The effective ingredient slowly diffuses from the polymer into the soil adjacent the sheet material to prevent the root growth over time.

Abstract: A process of abstracting sulfur from H2S and generating hydrogen comprising dissolving Pd2X2(mu-dppm)2 in a solvent and then introducing H2S. The palladium complex abstracts sulfur, forming hydrogen and a (mu-S) complex. The (mu-S) complex is readily oxidizable to a (mu-SO2) adduct which spontaneously loses SO2 and regenerates the palladium complex.

Abstract: Assembly comprising a coded substrate which may be read from a distance (several metres) by a scanning device comprising a beam oscillating in a given sector and a coupled analyzer for the reflected light. The substrate comprises back-reflecting areas of substantially equal intensity, the difference between them being related to the chromatic content of the reflected light or, the latter being circularly polarized, to the direction of said polarization. In another case, certain coded areas diffuse the light along a conical divergent beam, other areas sending back the reflected signal in a direction substantially parallel to that of the incident beam. Application to a transceiver system (44) arranged on board a vehicle for reading road signs. It comprises a light source (55), a first semi-reflecting blade (56), an objective (57) intended to form a thin vertical light beam. While running, the vehicle causes the scanning of a back-reflecting surface (53) capable of changing the polarization of the incident light and carrying a coded signalling indication. A second semi-reflecting blade (58) is arranged in the path of the back-reflected beam and directs said beam onto two polarizing analyzers (59, 60) associated with two respective polarization sensors (61, 62) forming signals (A, B) sent to an AND gate (63) and to an interpretation unit (65) which sends the decoded indication to a display (66).
