Method and apparatus used in the field of waste management, especially a method and a device for treating recoverable waste products that have already partially decomposed. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a device which makes it possible to further decompose, if possible completely, and recover the residual products that remain once the waste products are degassed. According to...

The gas-liquid contact plate is constructed so that a plurality of straight rows are provided; irregularities are formed over both surfaces of the plate at equal intervals in the row; the adjacent rows have repeated irregularities opposite to each other; and in a peak or valley portion of the irregularities, there is formed an opening connecting the surface to the back surface between the adjacent...

A plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other and a plurality of barrier ribs partitioning a space therebetween to form a plurality of discharge cells. Address electrodes are arranged on the first substrate, and a plurality of first sustain electrodes and a plurality of second sustain electrodes are arranged between the second substrate and the barrier ...

A pad conditioner may include a surface having a first region including a portion having relatively irregular shaped and friable polishing particles, and a second region including a portion having relatively regular shaped and tough polishing particles. The relatively regular shaped and tough polishing particles may be provided on the edge portion of the surface and the relatively irregular shaped...

The present invention is directed to novel chimeric VEGF receptor proteins comprising amino acid sequences derived from the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors flt-1 and KDR, including the murine homologue to the human KDR receptor FLK-1, wherein said chimeric VEGF receptor proteins bind to VEGF and antagonize the endothelial cell proliferative and angiogenic activity thereof. The ...

The disclosure relates to a tube coupling (10) comprising a coupling body having an open ended (12) throughway (11) to receive a tube (13), an annular shoulder (14) in the throughway facing the open end of the throughway, an 'O' ring seal (18) for sealing with a tube located against the annular shoulder in the throughway and a collet (25) located in the open end of the throughway for locking a tub...

A well treating composition containing a polysaccharide-based water-superabsorbent material has particularly applicability as a thermal insulating, fracturing or acid stimulation fluid. The water-superabsorbent material is capable of absorbing, at a minimum, its own weight. Particularly effective are biodegradable materials containing guar gum and carrageenan. The composition may further contain a...

En fracciones del petróleo crudo, combustibles fósiles y líquidos orgánicos en general, en los cuales es deseable reducir los niveles de componentes con contenido de azufre y con contenido de nitrógeno, el proceso reduce el nivel de estos compuestos a través de la aplicación de calor, de un agente oxidante y, de preferencia, de energía sónica. La invención es llevada a cabo ya sea como un proceso ...
