Abstract: A method for treating garbage or waste in which the garbage or refuse is subjected to at least one compression step (14) under conditions enabling the separation thereof into a putrescible fraction (15) in the form of a moist pulp, and into a dry fraction (16) with a relative moisture of less than 20%, then the putrescible fraction is subjected to a treatment (17) by anaerobic fermentation producing a biogas (18), characterized in that the resulting dry fraction (16) is subjected to an endothermic gasification treatment (19).
Abstract: A glove donning system and method, the arrangement having typically a vacuum wand for grasping the outer skin of the cuff portion of a glove, after which the wand together with the glove is suitably transported to a vacuum chamber, where the cuff portion is aligned with the rim of the opening of the vacuum chamber. By grasping only the outer skin of the glove, the cuff portion is gently opened sufficiently to enable a deflated inflatable ring to be inserted into the cuff portion. The ring is then inflated while positioned inside the cuff portion, which is thereby expanded until it touches the rim of the vacuum chamber. The rim is provided with a suction ring capable of generating sufficient suction to keep the cuff of the glove pressed against the rim, at which point the inflatable ring may be deflated and removed. A vacuum may then be applied to the chamber, inflating the glove and thus enabling a hand to be inserted thereinto.
Abstract: A method for the graphic representation of statistical data derived from quality control of testing carried out by analysis laboratories has a laser printer instructed by a personal computer produces the graphic representation on a sheet of A4 format paper. The graphic representation printed for each of the analysis laboratories in the quality control program has a Youden graph, a statistical table and a Shewhart diagram.
