Liquid effluents are treated in a two stage biological process using activated sludge. Effluent for treatment (1) is fed via a holding tank (2) to the first reactor (R1), which has been seeded with activated sludge, and is aerated until the BOD5 or COD has dropped to a pre-set level. The mixture is then settled and the supernatant and some of the sludge is transferred to the second reactor (R2) wh...

The invention concerns the surface mounting of a backset microwave package on a printed circuit. After the package (L1, L2, 1, 2, 3) has been accurately positioned against the printed circuit (L1', L2', 6, 7, 8), the connections are produced by soldering (S) the conducting elements (L1-L1', L2-L2') in direct contact. The chip (P) is enclosed in a sort of cage constituting a screen which replaces t...

Film (2) fait d'une matière élastique. Le film (2) est étiré dans au moins une direction (Y) parallèlement à une face du film (2). Puis, l'on perfore des trous traversants (25) dans le film au moyen d'aiguilles (115), dans un état où le film (2) est étiré. Après la fin de la perforation, on met fin à l'étirement, de façon que le film (2) reprenne sa forme d'origine.
