Treatment of waste water by sequential biological cleaning (SBR) using microorganisms, is new. It undergoes filling-, aeration and mixing phases in a reaction vessel. During the aeration phase, atmospheric air is blown via an aeration system into the waste water. The vessel is then closed airtight and the mixing phase follows. Air enclosed in the vessel is thoroughly mixed into the waste water, an...

A floor tile or wall tile in the form of a panel has a frame and a filling. The frame and the filling are nondetachably connected in a utility state to form an integral part. The connection between frame and filling interlocks tongue and groovc-like. The frame extends beyond the filling in the plane of the tile at least the thickness of the frame. The filling is of the same thickness as the frame.

A handle assembly for a safety razor comprises a grip portion formed of a pair of shells mounted on a substantially planar body member. The shell members cover only the periphery of the top and bottom surfaces of the body member which is fabricated of a first element formed of a substantially flexible elastomeric material and a second element formed of a more rigid material.
