New Patents upper surface of the liquid carrier medium within the flotation zone. A second outlet is used to discharge an impeded flow maintained at a lower flow rate than the free flow from said first discharging outlet. The chemical reagent is composed o f a liquid hydrocarbon, a reducing material and an activator material. A trough shaped vessel has a discharge end with an upper outlet means and a lower outlet means. The vessel has a structural configuration effective to provide the continuous, substantially quiescent movement of the mixture through the vessel. Mineral value fines subject to having an oxygencontrolled surface condition constitute the selected particulate material being extracted from the mixture of liquids and solids. These selected materials include bituminous coal fines, anthracite coal fines, molybdenum sulfide values, sulfur and graphite.

iI =l
A device for the detecting of an individual's Gell-Coombs Types I, II, III and IV immune response reactions to edible substances includes a mixture of an edible substance and a solution of non-toxic aprotic solvent, such as DMSO and water. The solvent acts as a carrier transporting the food beneath the skin. The device holds the mixture against the skin and prevents evaporation of the solution. The method includes the preparation of a plurality of mixtures of different edible substances and a solution of non-toxic aprotic solution, the application of the mixture to the skin of the individual and the holding of the mixture on the skin for a predetermined period of time. The mixture is subsequently removed, and the site is inspected to determine whether a Type I, II, III or IV Gell-Coombs immune response reaction has occurred. Control sites containing the solvent only and a control site containing a food substance which causes the skin to fluoresce upon exposure to an ultraviolet light may also be used. Fluorescence indicates whether the mixtures have been in sufficient contact with the skin for the required period of time.
4544374 A process for treating municipal solid waste material in the presence of moisture for the separation and recovery of inorganic matter and organic matter wherein the waste material is fed into a pressure chamber and is agitated therein. The contents of the pressure chamber are subjected to heat under a pressure for a predetermined period of time to cook, sterilize and soften the organic matter contained therein. The moisture content of the waste material is controlled so that the fines of the organic fraction have a residual moisture content ranging from about 60% to 70%. After releasing the pressure from the pressure chamber, the cooked waste material is removed and then separated and classified into various fractions thereof including an inorganic fraction and the fines of the organic fraction having a residual moisture content ranging from approximately 60% to 70%.
