A plurality of cutting edges are formed between the opposite chip surface and the primary and secondary clearance surfaces. Two of the cutting edges that connect to the primary clearance surfaces are primarily parallel and constitute main cutting edges. At least one lock structure is provided and includes a locking surface arranged on one of the secondary clearance surfaces so that the locking surface and the primary clearance surface form an acute angle, α, in a section that is parallel to the bottom surface and intersects the locking surface. A coupling structure is arranged on the opposite chip surface and at least partly projects from a plane that is parallel to the bottom surface and passes through points of the main cutting edges situated closest to the bottom surface. The coupling structure comprises at least one flank surface, which is arranged in such a way that the flank surface, in a section that is parallel to the primary clearance surface and intersects the flank surface, forms an acute angle, β, with the bottom surface so that the flank surface slopes in the direction from the secondary clearance surface on which the locking surface is arranged.

Disclosed herein is a single step sterilization wrapping material suitable for use, as an example, in wrapping surgical instruments and supplies for sterilization, transportation and storage. The material includes separate inner and outer wraps which, unlike previous wraps, are joined to one another. Common wrapping techniques involve wrapping items to be sterilized with two separate sheets of wrap. The present invention provides separate wraps which can be specially engineered to deliver specific properties for each sheet and then joined to one another so as to permit wrapping and opening in a neat single step process which increases efficiency and saves time and money. In special situations the outer wrap can be engineered with increased strength, the inner wrap with increased barrier properties and the inner and outer wraps can be made visually distinct from one another so that improper wrapping or opening is not a problem.

A helical displacement well with preassembled segments includes a preassembled shaft-forming penetrator tube including helical plates mounted to its exterior that may be rotated to propel the casing into the ground. A hydraulic drill motor rotates the penetrator tube and as it moves deeper into the ground. Extension tubes may be added to and coupled to the penetrator tube. A hydraulic drill motor is attached to the upper end of the extension tubes in order to continue the rotation of the assembled helical displacement well. The filter screen and the piping are installed concurrently with the addition of the extension tubes at the surface of the ground.

The invention pertains to a process for producing methane by a two-stage anaerobic digestion of organic feed, comprising i) subjecting an organic feed suspension (a) to acidogenesis and methanogenesis in a first reactor (1); ii) withdrawing an effluent (b) from said first reactor and subjecting it to solid / liquid separation (2), thus obtaining effluents high (d) and low (c) in solids, wherein the volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration in said first reactor is controlled by the withdrawal rate; iii) subjecting the effluent low in solids (c) to acidogenesis and methanogenesis in a second reactor (3), thus producing methane gas in said first and second reactor.

A roping training dummy is claimed comprising a dummy representing an animal having a target to be lassoed by a roper. A position sensor, such as video camera or radar system, is disposed on the dummy for monitoring the real-time position of the roper relative to the lasso target. A monitor on the dummy is visible to the roper and operatively connected to the position sensor. The monitor displays the roper's real-time position and a positional reference corresponding to a preferred roper placement.
