Abstract: Increased efficiency of extraction of silver and gold from ore materials thereof containing active carbonaceous material is obtained by conducting the extraction in two stages. In a first stage a portion of the silver and of the gold when present is extracted in a cyanide leach solution. The leached solids residue is contacted with activated carbon so that the silver and the gold when present are adsorbed on the activated carbon at elevated temperature (most preferably at about 35.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C.). In a modification, a slurry of the ore material is treated with cyanide and the precious metal adsorbed directly from the cyanided slurry with activated carbon at elevated temperature up to about 70.degree. C.

Abstract: Solid anti-fogging agents such as 5-nitroindazole which are otherwise poorly soluble in water are converted to readily water soluble compositions that are solids at room temperature when they are first dissolved in water soluble polymers or other organic compounds that have a melting point above room temperature and do not chemically react with the anti-fogging agent. The anti-foggants are preferably dissolved in the polymer or organic compound at or near the compounds' melting point below 175.degree.C.

Abstract: A computerized method for sensing the level of liquefied gas in a tank at a remote location and transmitting data between the location of the tank and the computer to maintain files for inventory control. A microprocessor collects electrical signals from a tank mounted transducer, which is actuated by a float gauge, and periodically sends data over telephone lines to a computer located remotely from the tank. The computer receives and processes data during time windows established for each of a group of tanks to provide current data regarding the supply of liquefied gas in the tanks.

Abstract: Refractory sulfidic silver ore which is not amenable to cyanide leaching is formed into an aqueous slurry and oxidized at elevated temperature, usually about 150.degree. to 250.degree. C., in the presence of an oxidizing agent, usually oxygen, and in the presence of about 30 to about 160 g/L zinc. Zinc present in the above range results in increased extractability of silver from the oxidized residue by cyanide leaching.

Abstract: A highly purified alkaline protease preparation is produced by separating a mixture containing amorphous form and crystalline form of alkaline protease from ultrafiltrate containing impurities, through a method which includes the incubation of an aqueous alkaline protease concentrate with sodium chloride and carbohydrate hydrolyse enzymes at an elevated temperature greater than 20.degree. C. and a pH between pH 4.0 and pH 6.5 at constant agitation.

Abstract: An apparatus for recovering oil from an oil spill on the surface of a body of water includes a skimmer unit for recovering an oil-water mixture from the surface of the body of water, a three stage coalescer unit for separating the oil in the oil-water mixture from the water therein and a solvent injection assembly for injecting solvent into the coalescer unit after the first and second stages in order to reduce the viscosity of the oil entering the second and third stages. The first, second, and third stages of the coalescer unit comprise interceptors having a surface area ratios between 27 and 65 ft.sup.2 /ft.sup.3 ; 65 ft.sup.2 /ft.sup.3 and 2500 ft.sup.2 /ft.sup.3 ; and 500 ft.sup.2 /ft.sup.3 and 4200 ft.sup.2 /ft.sup.3, respectively.

Abstract: This invention is a pattern cutting assembly including a pattern guide member used in cooperation with a pattern and workpiece holding frame which, in turn, has a workpiece member mounted thereon and used in conjunction with a rotating blade, such as a router blade or a scroll saw blade, to cut a pre-determined accurate pattern within the workpiece member. The pattern cutting guide member includes a main circular support plate with a central opening in which a guide hub member is mounted and a clip connector assembly. The clip connector assembly includes a plurality of spaced clip members for anchoring and positioning in an upper support plate of a router table assembly. The pattern guide member can have the main circular support plate and the central guide hub member provided with a connected slot portion from an outer periphery of the main circular support plate which allows for a continuous blade, such as a jigsaw blade or a scroll saw blade, to be positioned centrally of the guide hub member.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recovering oil from an oil spill on the surface of a body of water. The method is operative for recovering an oil having a viscosity in excess of 80 centipoise and it includes the steps of drawing an oil-water mixture from the surface of a body of water, adjusting the viscosity of the oil in the oil-water mixture to a level below approximately 80 centipoise and passing the resultant adjusted oil-water mixture through an oil-water coalescer to separate the oil in the adjusted oil-water mixture from the water therein. The viscosity of the oil in the feed oil-water mixture is preferably adjusted by adding a low viscosity hydrophobic hydrocarbon solvent to the oil-water mixture.

Abstract: Antifoaming agents are commonly used during culturing of enzyme-producing microorganisms. These antifoams often persist through enzyme processing, slowing filtrations, clogging filtration membranes and adversely affecting the quality of the final product. The present invention describes a method for removing antifoams, and often carbohydrates and pigments, from enzyme systems using mineral clay, the preferred clay being bentonite.

Abstract: A semiconductor dynamic memory device is disclosed which contains circuitry for implementing both page mode and nibble modes using a conductor level selection. A clock voltage used in column decoding and output is either coupled to or decoupled from the column strobe or CAS input by conductor, so this clock voltage is rendered either dependent on, or independent of, the cycling of the column strobe.

Abstract: The beneficiation or upgrading of an iron-containing titaniferous ore to a synthetic rutile by subjecting the ore to reduction followed by acid leaching of the reduced ore is improved by forming a mixture of the ore and an aqueous sulfuric acid solution, adding a reducing agent to this mixture and then subjecting this mixture containing the reducing agent to reduction at elevated temperatures. The resulting reduced ore, which is characterized by an increase in the ferrous iron content thereof and an increase in its specific surface area, exhibits an enhanced response to subsequent acid leaching to provide a synthetic rutile of improved purity.

Abstract: The present invention provides for boron-containing wood preserving solutions and a method for their preparation. The wood preserving solutions of the invention are noncrystallizable at ambient temperatures and are prepared from a dispersion of a particulated sodium tetraborate, phosphoric acid and water by heating the dispersion at elevated temperatures and for a period of time sufficient to provide a clear solution. The particulated sodium tetraborate and phosphoric are present in the dispersion in a specific molar ratio of 5:3, said ratio being critical to achieving the noncrystallizable characteristic of the wood preserving solutions of the invention.
