Abstract: The prefabricated creep foundation in accordance with the invention is a building system for the laying of the foundations for a heated building with a beam structure above an enclosed, unventilated creep space. The foundations are constructed from base plates made of concrete, foundation beams made of concrete with internal cellular plastic, and ventilation grids for ventilation. The foundation beams consist of an externally reinforced high concrete slab with thick, cast-on-cellular plastic insulation on the inside. The creep space can be inspected more easily thanks to the considerable height of the foundation beams. The thick cellular plastic insulation on the foundation beams enables surplus heat to be utilized, so that the laying of the foundations can take place at a reduced foundation depth. The foundations can be laid using a crane, and can be adapted to the requirements of the project.

Abstract: Herein is described a process for the light-intensity balancing of an optical system, and a device for carrying out the process. The optical system consists of a light source, a lens installed in the beam path, and optoelectrical components that sends to an amplifier a signal that is proportional to the local light intensity. The intensity balancing is carried out by measuring and determining the intensity distribution in a plane. This local distribution is modified at the relevant points for the local distribution according to the optical properties of the lens until a uniform intensity distribution in the plane is obtained. The lens is attained by radiating its surface or internal structures with a laser.

Abstract: The bag is formed from two layers of a plastic having properties of mutual superficial adhesion. The layers are laid one on top of the other, and define between themselves at least two chambers each containing a different liquid. To simplify the operations of manufacturing and using the bag, without contaminating the liquids contained in the chambers, the chambers are separated from each other by a separating septum formed by a section of mutual adhesion of the two layers, in which the two layers are in intimate superficial contact. The adherent section is bounded by two lines where the layers are folded to define throttle lines which prevent the liquids from getting from the two chambers into the adherent section. To use the bag, the bag is simply unfolded and pressure is applied to the chambers, in such a way as to cause the layers to come apart in the adherent section and the liquids to mix.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the removal of clarified waste water from circular tanks which have a central waste-water inlet. It is notable for a submerged pipe which is constructed as a ring conduit provided concentrically with the vertical axis of the ring tank and is arranged underneath the surface of the clarified waste water in order to draw off the clarified waste water uniformly, the drainage of the latter being regulatable independently of the incoming amount by means of a control system and the water level in the tank being controllable in a constant manner by means of said system.
