Abstract: An undivided electrolysis cell for electrolyzing a liquor is disclosed which has a narrow gap between the electrodes and improved energy efficiency. The electrolysis cell comprises a porous anode, a porous cathode, and an electrically insulating separator therebetween which are all permeable to the liquor. Electrolysis is performed while directing the liquor through the porous anode, the electrically insulating separator, and the porous cathode. Gas products generated during electrolysis are carried out with the liquor and do not remain between the electrodes thereby reducing “gas blinding”. The electrolysis cell is particularly suitable for chlorate electrolysis.

Abstract: The instant application is directed to an assembly for a drug delivery device which is arranged to operate in two distinct modes, a priming mode starting from a pre-priming state and a dispense mode operating in a post-priming state, and a drug delivery device comprising this assembly. The assembly comprises a dose member, an actuating member and a piston rod which is configured to act on a bung of an assembled cartridge containing the drug. In the pre-priming state the actuating member is configured to be moved by a user such that the movement of the actuating member causes a movement of the dose member and such that the movement of the dose member causes a movement of the piston rod. In the post-priming state the dose member is configured to be moved by a user without causing a movement of the actuating member in order to perform a set and dispense action of the drug delivery device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel systems and methods for manufacturing estimation, production assembly and inventory management. In an embodiment, a system is provided to create and respond to RFPs, perform capacity planning for an eventual production line, efficiently implement the production line in software, and track detailed warehouse data, including transaction data. Such tracking may allow process improvement, report generation, and market research analysis. In an embodiment, one or more systems may be used to implement one or more aspects of the present invention.

Abstract: Incineration apparatus for incinerating a particulate material comprises a furnace housing (2), feeding means (7) for feeding material to be incinerated into said housing (2), and gas supply means (6a-c) for introducing a gas into the material in a lower part of said housing (2) so as to form a fluidised bed (8). Said gas supply means (6a-c) is spaced from the walls of said furnace housing (2) such that said walls are insulated from the fluidised bed (8) by an insulating layer of particulate material not in a fluidised state.

Abstract: A base material is thermally reclaimed from a mixture of the base material and a combustible substance, wherein the substance is incinerated in a fluidized bed, comprises the step of feeding the mixture after comminuting and dust from comminuting step directly into a lower part of the fluidized bed. The method is particularly suitable for the thermal reclamation of foundry sand or other base materials used in foundry processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of reclaiming contaminated industrial sand including the steps of subjecting the sand to the influence of heat in a fluidizing bed, forcing sand fed to said bed to follow a flow path including a plurality of generally heightwise directed path portions including at least one generally upwardly directed path portion and at least one generally downwardly directed path portion. In an example of the invention, the heat is applied to the sand in a first group of path portions and the sand is cooled in a second group of path portions.
