A process and a device for oxygenating sea water. In the process, the water flows downwards, at a suitable speed, in the aeration pipe 8, and the lower end of the pipe 8 is supplied with air which, on release in the water, rises as bubbles against the direction of flow. In the device, a wind rotor 2 functions as a power source which drives a water turbine 5 and an aeration spiral 9. Each aeration ...

A method and apparatus for reducing the magnitude of a uniformity characteristic in a cured tire and the tire produced thereby. A signal is generated which is indicative of the magnitude of the uniformity characteristic. The signal is also indicative of the location on the tire to be corrected. At least a portion of one carcass reinforcing member of the tire is permanently deformed a predetermined...

A medical-surgical tube (1) having a major lumen (1a) defined by an inner periphery of a wall of the tube, an injection lumen (12) within the wall of the tube, and at least one one-way (10) in the wall. The valve allows fluid to flow from the injection lumen through an outer or inner periphery of the wall of the tube and prevents return of the fluid back into the injection lumen. The tube can incl...
