Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods of printing articles using three-dimensional printing and other printing techniques, and to articles formed from such techniques, including the printing of articles of footwear containing particles. Certain embodiments are generally directed to composites comprising particles (e.g., reinforcing particles), for example, rubber particles. The particles may be used, for example, to increase slip or abrasion resistance. The composites may also contain polyurethanes or other compounds, e.g., to facilitate fabrication, e.g., using three-dimensional printing and other printing techniques. Other embodiments are directed to methods of making or using such articles. For example, in some embodiments, a composite may be prepared by mixing particles (e.g., reinforcing particles) with at least a first fluid and a second fluid within a nozzle, such as a microfluidic printing nozzle, which may be used to direct the resulting product onto a substrate.

Abstract: Provided is a method for recovering high-concentration and high-purity amine from amine-containing waste water generated from nuclear power plants and thermal power plants. The method includes: capturing amine and concentrating waste water using a cation exchange resin; separating amine from the concentrated amine-containing waste water; and carrying out further separation of amine via distillation. The method may be applied to treat amine, which causes an increase in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total nitrogen concentration, drastically at the time of its generation from waste water of nuclear power plants and thermal power plants. In this manner, the method may prevent an increase in load of existing waste water treating plants and avoid a need for modifying the equipment in the existing plants.

Abstract: A waste water treatment apparatus is located between an industrial plant and a municipal sewer to treat and control the flow of waste water from the plant to the sewer. The apparatus includes an equalization basin, a water clarifier mechanism, and a flow rate control mechanism for maintaining a relatively constant water flow rate through the clarifier in spite of major changes in water level in the equalization basin. The flow rate control mechanism includes an upstanding water column and a pump for delivering water from the equalization basin to the column. The column establishes a constant liquid head for controlling water flow through the clarifier.

Abstract: A system for removing tetrachloroethylene impurity from water includes two or more adsorption columns in series flow relation. Each column has a upper layer of clay granules and a lower layer of activated charcoal granules. The liquid moves in a downflow direction through each adsorption column.

Abstract: An Mn-Zn-based single crystal ferrite composition containing an additive material essentially consisting of 0.2 to 2 mole % SnO.sub.2, 0.1 to 1 mole % CoO, 0.2 to 1 mole % CaCO.sub.3 and 0.02 to 1 weight % V.sub.2 O.sub.5 added to a host material essentially consisting of 51 to 54 mole % Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 27 to 33 mole % MnO and 16 to 20 mole % ZnO. A magnetic head manufactured from the single crystal ferrite generates an enhanced reproduction output and a reduced rubbing noise, thereby achieving a high picture quality and a high resolution of images.

Abstract: A loose-leaf binder makes use of a hinged back comprising parallel hinge leaves pivotally attached to each other at adjacent edges. There is an interlock at one end consisting of resilient flanges normally interlocked in overlying relationship, but releasable by tilting one flange away from the other. Rings which extend through the holes in sheets of paper may be individually mounted in a retention track so that they can be varied as to spacing and also varied as to the number of rings made use of.
