Abstract: Curable thermoset resin compositions are described which are useful for imparting water and/or solvent resistance to gel coated fiber-reinforced polymers. Those compositions contain at least 5 weight-percent of an at least partially end-capped unsaturated polyetherester resin, an unsaturated polyester resin in a specified amount having a specified range of unsaturation, about 10 to about 70 weight-percent of at least one vinyl monomer and a curing agent. Methods and intermediates for making those compositions, use of the curable thermoset resin compositions to make fiber-reinforced polymer composites and skin laminate intermediates for the same, and articles manufactured using the same are also described. These compositions, methods and uses improve the chemical and/or water resistance of resin compositions, particularly composite materials having a gel coat. That improvement has special significance in outdoor and marine applications, bathtubs and shower stalls, and environments exposed to chemicals, such as industrial and commercial applications.

Abstract: Briefly described, the present invention is concerned with cooling heated bodies and/or heated fluid with synthetic jet actuators in either open or closed systems. A first preferred embodiment of a cooling system of the present invention comprises a synthetic jet actuator directed to impinge directly on a heat producing (or heated) body. The synthetic jet actuator generates a synthetic jet stream comprised of cool ambient fluid that impinges on the heated surface thereby cooling this surface. As an example, the heated surface/body could be a microchip array in a microcomputer. After coming into contact with the heated surface, the fluid moves along the surface and is finally rejected to the ambient where it mixes and cools down. The synthetic jet may be incorporated into a modular unit that may be clipped on to a circuit board or other heat producing element to provide added, 'ad hoc' cooling. In another configuration, a synthetic jet actuator may be positioned, relative to the heated surface, to create a synthetic jet stream to flow along the heated surface. In this embodiment, the flow would be approximately tangential to a surface of a heat producing body. This embodiment may further comprise a cyclical flow of the fluid jet, along the heated body and about a heat sink surface.

Abstract: The device includes an adjustable load on the detection circuit, enabling adjustment of threshold operating value. The differential protection device comprises a torus (1) for measuring the differential currents in the main conductors (2). It includes a first secondary winding (6) connected to a processing circuit, and a second secondary winding (8) connected to a signaling circuit. There is also a supplementary winding (10) in which a test current (It) can flow. The processing circuit (7) includes a threshold control device (12) which modifies the load of the first secondary winding (6) in order to change the calibrated operating value. When the load on the first secondary winding is very much less than the load on the second secondary winding, signaling is dependent on the selected calibration. The protection device includes a test circuit which selects a low calibration when the test current flows.

Chacun de ces ligands à l'état monovalent, c'est-à-dire non lié, est capable de se lier à une enzyme intervenant dans la biosynthèse et le métabolisme de la paroi cellulaire. Cela fait qu'un précurseur utilisé pour la synthèse de la paroi cellulaire de la bactérie et/ou de la surface de la cellule de la bactérie interfère avec la synthèse et/ou le métabolisme de la paroi cellulaire. Plus particulièrement, les composés à liaisons multiples de l'invention comportent de 2 à 10 ligands reliés par covalence à au moins un lieur. Chacun de ces ligands comporte un domaine de ligand capable de se lier aux protéines de liaison de la pénicilline, une transpeptidase, un substrat de transpeptidase, une bêta-lactamase, une pénicillinase, une céphalosporinase, une transglycosylase ou un substrat de transglycosylase.
