Abstract: In a method for processing and utilizing bypass dust obtained during the production of cement, it is proceeded as a) contacting the bypass dust with an aqueous phase and mixing the same to obtain a homogenous slurry, with water-soluble components of the bypass dust being dissolved in the aqueous phase, b) carrying out a solid-liquid separation to separate the solids contained in the slurry so that a brine is remaining, c) separating heavy metals present in the brine and precipitating calcium as poorly soluble calcium salts, e.g. CaCO3, to obtain a processed brine, and d) subjecting the processed brine to a fractional crystallization.

Abstract: An object locator system comprises an activation unit and a remote locator where the remote locator may be attached to an easily misplaced object, such as a key or key-ring. The activation unit comprises additional functionality to induce the operator to carry it routinely so that it might be available at distant sites if needed. In one embodiment, the activation unit comprises a cellular telephone. In another embodiment, the activation unit comprises a wrist watch with an integral transmitter. The activation unit, when triggered, generates an activating signal. The remote locator receives the activating signal and announces its location. Communication from the activation unit to the remote locator may be direct or indirect, and may be via radio frequency electromagnetic, optical, or acoustic means.
