Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a concentrate enriched in iron mineral content from an ore, which contains an iron mineral and silicate, by a reverse flotation, which method comprises the step of (c) adding a collector composition comprising (i) an amidoamine, which contains a compound of formula I or a salt of a protonated compound of formula I and an anion, and (ii) an alkyl polyglycoside, which contains a compound of formula II wherein RAP is a linear or branched C6-C22 alkyl or a linear C6-C22 alkenyl, G1 is a monosaccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, x is an average value from 1 to 10, to a prepared aqueous pulp of the ore and optionally one or more flotation auxiliary to obtain an aqueous mixture.

Abstract: An IM tibial nail aiming guide for providing proximal and distal screw fixation in an intramedullary nailing (IMN) of a tibia includes an attachment that connects and disconnects easily from a jig's proximal handle. Specifically, the IM tibial nail aiming guide functions as an aiming guide for accurate fixation of all the respective proximal and distal screw holes in a tibial nail. The IM tibial nail aiming guide has a length and angle that are adjustable, affording the ability to use this IM tibial nail aiming guide with any tibial nail. This IM tibial nail aiming guide is made of radiolucent material that allows for a confirmatory fluoroscopic imaging to verify that both the proximal and distal screws are fixated appropriately. The IM tibial nail aiming guide permits a more accurate, safe, versatile, and efficient approach to tibial IMN.

Abstract: A method of transporting hydrogen and natural gas by means of a natural gas conduit system is proposed, especially by means of an existing natural gas conduit system. According to the invention, the hydrogen is recovered only downstream of one or preferably multiple natural gas consumers. This resulted in a stepwise increase in the hydrogen content in the natural gas-hydrogen mixture transported, and the subsequent recovery of the pure hydrogen can be affected more easily and efficiently.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing arrangement of a fragrance container, wherein the fragrance container has a container body and a container lid, wherein the container lid can be placed on the container body in a sealable manner, wherein the container lid has an opening in which a displaceably guided sealing lid is accommodated, wherein the container lid has at least one projecting, rigid lip running around the opening, which lip projects towards the sealing lid, wherein a flat seal is arranged on the sealing lid against which seal the at least one lip rests in the closed state of the opening. The invention also relates to a fragrance container.

Abstract: A fragrance container of a scenting device, having a wall enclosing an interior space, wherein at least one air inlet opening and at least one air outlet opening are provided in the wall for air to flow through the fragrance container, wherein at least one carrier medium for a fragrance is arranged in the interior space of the fragrance container, wherein the at least one carrier medium has a plurality of free surfaces along which the air can flow through from the air inlet opening to the air outlet opening for the purpose of absorbing the fragrance.

Abstract: A method for operating a fragrancing device, wherein a blower device is provided which sucks air through an air inlet opening into the first air duct and conveys it to an air outlet opening. At second air duct is provided, which branches off from the first air duct at a first duct branch and rejoins the first air duct at a second duct branch. A first fragrance container is provided in the second air duct between the first duct branch and the second duct branch, which can be flowed through by the air flow in the second air duct. A first valve device is provided upstream and/or downstream and controls the flow through the first fragrance container. The blower is controlled in such a manner that a defined, substantially constant, air flow is generated as a sum through the first air duct and the second air duct.

Abstract: A scenting device for scenting a vehicle interior may include at least one aromatic substance container holding a supply of an aromatic substance. The device may also include a feeding duct for feeding air to the at least one aromatic substance container and a discharge duct for discharging air enriched with the aromatic substance. The device may further include at least one scenting path for enriching air with the aromatic substance from the at least one aromatic substance container. The device may include a bypass duct branching off from the feeding duct and bypassing the at least one aromatic substance container. The device may also include a bypass valve and at least one container valve. The device may include a camshaft including a bypass cam configured to actuate the bypass valve and at least one container cam configured to actuate the at least one container valve.

Abstract: A hip resurfacing femoral component is designed to be used with a prepared femur. The hip resurfacing femoral component comprises a head portion which has a substantially spherical outwardly facing bearing surface with an attachment surface opposing the bearing surface of the head portion. The femoral component further comprises a skirt portion with an outer skirt surface which depends from the substantially spherical bearing surface and an inner skirt surface. The inner skirt surface and the attachment surface are configured to fit over the prepared femur.
