Abstract: New blends of fluorinated thermoplastic elastomers are disclosed that contain a two-phase composition including a continuous phase of a melt processible crystalline thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin and a dispersed phase of an amorphous crosslinked fluoroelastomer, and a dispersion-process-produced, non-fibrillating, non-melt-processible polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder. The PTFE copolymer is made up of recurring units of hexafluoropropylene, perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) wherein the alkyl group has 1-4 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof. The PTFE compounds uniformly with the two-phase composition without forming visible agglomerates. Poly(phenylene sulfide) powder can be added to the blend to increase melt flow characteristics. Additionally, an uncured fluoroelastomer can be incorporated into the blend to enhance its mechanical properties. The preparation of the fluorinated thermoplastic elastomers involves dynamic curing of the fluoroelastomer in the presence of the molten thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin and the non-melt-processible PTFE resin.

Abstract: L'invention concerne les procédés de formation de voies pour sonar. Elle consiste, après avoir échantillonné à une fréquence T = 1/4fo (fo fréquence de réception centrale du sonar) les signaux des hydrophones (1-N) du sonar et les avoir transposés en bande de base, à sous-échantillonner les signaux ainsi transposés avec une période TSE = kT (k entier) sensiblement égale à 1,25 B où B est la bande de fréquence de réception du sonar. Un premier ensemble de signaux est sous-échantillonné à des instants identiques pour former un secteur frontal (S1). Deux autres ensembles de signaux sont sous-échantillonnés avec des retards entre les signaux de deux hydrophones adjacents égaux à T, ce qui détermine deux secteurs latéraux (S2, S3) adjacents au secteur frontal. Ces signaux sous-échantillonnés sont ensuite transmis en série par le câble de remorquage (30) de l'antenne du sonar et sont traités (60) dans des circuits FFT qui permettent de former dans chaque secteur un ensemble de voies couvrant ce secteur. Elle permet de diminuer considérablement le débit des données entre la partie du sonar remorquée et la partie du sonar située dans le bateau.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for generating steam by combining hydrogen and oxygen. It comprises a combustion chamber for combining hydrogen and oxygen and a downstream injection cooler, in which the steam generated in the combustion chamber and having a very high temperature is brought by injection of feedwater to the parameters suitable for feeding into the steam turbine, with a simultaneous increase in the steam mass flow. To provide an apparatus which allows in a technically simple manner the high temperatures of 3000 DEG C, arising as a result of the oxidation of hydrogen, to be controlled and the resulting steam to be changed with respect to its parameters, especially temperature and pressure, in such a way that it can be fed to a downstream steam turbine, the injection cooler is formed by a double-walled cylinder (1), on whose inside wall (2) a lining of an axially extending tube bundle is located. The feedwater is fed to the tubes (7) of the tube bundle at the end facing the combustion chamber, the other end of the tubes (7) being connected to the annular space (6) of the double-walled cylinder (1). In a part- region, some tubes (7) of the tube bundle form unlined surfaces (11) by means of radial deflections 7a, on which surfaces injection devices (12) for the feedwater are located in the inside wall (2) of the cylinder (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a filler neck with a sealing flap (114) arranged inside the latter and capable of swivelling between a closed position and an open position. The sealing flap (114) operates an overfilling valve (138) via an arm (124) in such a way that the valve is opened when the sealing flap (114) is closed but closed when the sealing flap (114) is opened. By means of the overfilling valve (138) a pocket provided in the upper area of the tank is activated in which an air or gas bubble forms during filling of the tank which, after filling, is released so that the filling level of the fuel in the tank filler neck falls. 
<??>In addition a combined over pressure/under pressure valve (144) and a ventilating valve (142) are incorporated into the tank filler neck, which ventilating valve is designed as a so-called roll-over valve in such a way that it seals off the vent path in the case of a certain angle of inclination or overturning of the vehicle, thereby preventing fuel from escaping.
