JET ENGINE DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM
FLUID COKING WITH QUENCH ELUTRIATION USING INDUSTRIAL SLUDGE
William M Sayler assigned to The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Decontaminating an object such as a vehicle, is achieved by subjecting the object to an elevated temperature for a time sufficient to achieve the desired temperature. The heat source is preferably a jet engine which is supported for universal movement. The temperature of the surface of the object under treatment is determined by sensing the infrared radiation emanating from the surface of the object. In response to the attainment of a predetermined level of infrared radiation, an electric control member is used to regulate the movement of said heat source. Thus heating is caused to be directed at selected regions of the object under treatment for the time period necessary to attain the desired temperature level.
Ann D Patterson, Wayne M Kachel assigned to Exxon Research and Engineering Co An improved fluid coking process is provided in which an aqueous sludge comprising an organic waste is used as quench in a quench elutriator to cool the coke product and convert at least a portion of the organic waste to a vaporous compound (e.g., hydrocarbon) which is recycled to the heating zone to increase the fuel value of the heating zone gaseous effluent.

4552140 EMERGENCY
ESCAPE DEVICE
John Cowley, Selby D Hussey, Toronto, IL, Canada assigned to Erie Manufacturing Co An emergency escape device includes a transparent impervious flexible hood to be placed over a user’s head sealingly affixed to an inflatable collar. An annular saddle-shaped reservoir contains a supply of pressurized oxygen gas and is concentrically positioned on the collar so that when the collar is inflated the weight of the reservoir seals the collar around the user’s neck. A control mechanism is actuatable by the user for delivering the oxygen to simultaneously fill the hood and inflate the collar. A scrubber is located within the hood for cleansing carbon dioxide from the exhalations of the user to enable the hood gas to be rebreathed by the user. An ejector is connected to the oxygen supply line and is located adjacent the scrubber to create a venturi effect to cause the hood gas to pass through the scrubber and enable the hood gas to be recycled.
The invention relates to a process, which is characterized by mixing sewage sludge with comminuted, dried autumn foliage or the solvent extraction residue thereof. It also relates to the use of the deformable and optionally dried material obtained as a fuel briquette, and the use of the ash obtained after burning the fuel briquette as a fertilizer component.
4553034 ION EXCHANGE RESIN INTRUSION MONITOR William Byers, Steven H Peterson assigned to Westinghouse Electric Corp Process and monitor for detecting the presence of particles in an effluent fluid, which particles emit fluorescent light upon irradiation. As used to monitor ion exchange resin fines in effluent liquid in a steam power plant, there are probe means to inject fluorescence-stimulating light into a volume of the effluent liquid. Detector means are disposed to receive emitted tluorescent light from any particles in the eWuent, and there are means actuatable by said detector means for generating a signal to indicate the presence of particles in the effluent.
