  • Patent number: 5234400
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for centrifugally separating and classifying a liquid slurry into a solids heavy phase and a light phase fraction with a rotary mounted centrifugal drum having a cylindrical section extending from a first end and completed by a conical section extending toward a second end, a rotary auger within the drum moving slurry from the first to the second end, a slurry inlet at the first end; outlet nozzles extending at an oblique angle opposite the rotational direction of the drum in the cylindrical section for discharge of the heavy phase material, and light phase openings at the second end in the conical section close to the drum axis.

  • Patent number: 5200703
    Abstract: An anti-interference filter for radio-shielding a feeder to a gradient coil in a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is constructed as a band elimination (band rejection) filter for the operating frequency of the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. The anti-interference filter can be in the form of a directionally symmetrical quadrupole having two input terminals and two output terminals. A first input terminal and a first output terminal are introducible into the feeder to the gradient coil, and a second input terminal and a second output terminal are connected to a conductor at reference potential. A number of blocking circuits are arranged in series between the first input terminal and the first output terminal. A number acceptor circuits are arranged between the input terminals, between the junctions of the blocking circuits and the reference potential conductor, and between the output terminals. The number of acceptor circuits is one more than the number of blocking circuits.
