Abstract: Rotating biological contactor-type sewage treatment equipment of the present invention comprises a treatment tank 4 for storing sewage to be treated, a rotation shaft 3 which extends across opposed side walls 4a, 4b of the treatment tank 4, a plurality of rotating discs 1 mounted at a predetermined interval on the rotation shaft 3 in such a manner that each disc is partly submerged in the sewage stored in the treatment tank 4, and a driving means for supplying a driving force to the rotation shaft 3 in order to rotate the rotating discs 1. This equipment treats sewage by rotating the rotating discs 1 on which aerobic bacteria are attached, thereby allowing the aerobic bacteria to contact the sewage and aerobically decompose pollutants in the sewage. Each of the rotating discs 1 is composed of n portions of sector-shaped segments 11, wherein n is an integer not less than 1, and each of the sector-shaped segments 11 is composed of two equally divided sector-shaped pieces 11a, 11b.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously manufacturing an elongated shaped article reinforced by a multiplicity of continuous and parallel fibers is provided. The apparatus includes a series of means for arranging a multiplicity of advancing continuous and parallel fibers into a sheet-like bundle of fibers, means for impregnating the sheet-like bundle of fibers with a liquid foamable resin, means for receiving and gathering the resin impregnated sheet-like bundle of fibers into a gathered bundle of fibers having the resin dispersed therein, a moveable molding passage of three or more endless belts facing one another in parallel relationship and having a cross-section perpendicular to the direction of movement of the fibers corresponding to the cross-section of the desired shaped article and which contact and move with the resin-impregnated bundle of fibers to form the elongated shaped article and means for extracting the elongated shaped article from the molding passage.
