Abstract: Procédés et dispositifs servant à commander soit la vitesse de réaction, soit la capacité réactionnelle d'un  hydrocarbure par rapport à un produit d'oxydation intermédiaire, tel qu'un acide, dans des limites prédéterminées. On commande la vitesse ou la capacité réactionnelles au moyen du contrôle et de la régulation de la vitesse à laquelle l'oxydant se consume. L'invention présente des exemples de détermination de cette vitesse, tels que, de façon non exhaustive, le contrôle des débits d'arrivée et de sortie de l'oxydant, le contrôle des différences de pression après la cessation temporaire de l'entrée et de la sortie de gaz, et le contrôle des vitesses d'entrée et de sortie de l'hydrocarbure.

Abstract: A drill shank has at one end a coupling section (3) to a drill anchoring rod and is provided with an axial bore (12) which extends into a section and continues in a radial bore (11) for introducing a fluid medium into the bore anchoring rod in connection with a fixed adapter part which surrounds the drill shank in the area of the section (9). The fluid medium can be a rinsing medium such as water or air. It may also be a hardenable medium such as a mortar suspension. The drill shank is provided with another duct separated from the bore (12) for guiding a cooling medium. The thus designed drill shank links a drill anchoring rod to a drill drive and also serves to introduce into the drill anchoring rod all media required to drill a bore hole and to set an anchor, depending on the anchoring setting process.

Abstract: Storage stable aqueous acidic solutions, often having a pH of up to 1 containing an ester peracid and/or an acid peracid can be obtained by reacting a diester satisfying the general formula R?1-O-CO-R2-CO-O-R3¿ in which R?1 and R3¿ each represents a alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may the same of different and R2 represents an aliphatic alkylene group optionally unsaturated which may be linear or branched containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an acid, such as sulphuric acid and permitting the compositions to progress towards equilibrium concentrations. By starting with a diester, perhydrolysis generates an ester peracid which is a particularly effective peracid. The process can be controlled to produce solutions containing a high peracid content and within a wide range of ratios of ester peracid to acid peracid.

KCl at pH 7.0 results in not more than 35% of the total
diltiazem being released after 2 hours of measurement.
Not more than 60% of the total diltiazem is released
after four hours of measurement and 100% of the
diltiazem is released no earlier than after 8 hours of
measurement in said apparatus.

Abstract: The safety valve has a tapering valve (6) which seals onto a valve seat (D). As the valve is progressively opened, the direction of the vented fluid changes from a lateral direction to a more axial direction. The valve is fitted with a thruster (T) whose underside has a shaped groove into which the vented fluid is directed. The vented fluid strikes different parts of the profiled groove for different open settings of the valve. At small openings, the more lateral flow generates a small opening reaction force on the valve, whilst for a larger opening a stronger reaction force is obtained by the more radial flow.

portions of the key and provides the mediator with a fourth portion of
the key, which can combine with said first portion to generate the
complete key;   (c)   the consumer provides the owner with the
payment; and   (d)   the owner provides the source with a second
portion of the key, which can combine with said first portion to

cryptographic key which is supplied to a decrypting module (5). The
encrypted document is supplied to the decrypting module (5) whereupon
the document is decrypted and supplied to the consumer.

Abstract: It has been found that previously known quantum cascade (QC) lasers have a
shortcoming that substantially decreases their usefulness as radiation sources for pollution
monitoring and other potential applications that involve absorption measurements.
Except at cryogenic temperatures, these lasers have to be driven in pulse mode and are
inherently multimode. We have now established that this shortcoming can be overcome
by provision of appropriate distributed feedback. Resulting lasers (QC-DFB lasers) can
have single mode mid-IR output at or near room temperature, can have significant optical
power, and be continuously tunable over a significant spectral region.

Abstract: The system includes detectors (2a-2c, 3-5) for generating signals indicating acceleration, speed and position representing the stationary and spatial position of a person under surveillance. A further circuit (7-9) is used for processing these signals over time in order to determine a probability factor representing the probability of a dangerous situation having occurred. As a function of the probability factor, which has been determined, an alarm signal is activated. This alarm signal is then transmitted to a remote monitoring station (21). The probability is assessed by an artificial neuronal network in which the values of bias and weighting are determined by experiment results.

Abstract: The frame defines an internal path along which coolers are distributed. Panels are moved around in closed circuit, in regular steps. Detectors and/or supports are located at different levels, assisting control and automation of operation. Preferred features: Panels move through, along two paths in opposite directions. Paths meet at the ends for transfer of panels and/or supports. At inlet and outlet they are at the same level with direct communication through the partition separating the parallel paths. A sliding door with actuator separates paths. A rotating belt for the panels is provided at each of the entry and exit. Panel addition and removal; starting and stopping of belts, are initiated by mechanical contacts. Belts clear the supports, giving room for correct operation, keeping the panels flat. Further details of belts and supports are provided. The sprocket-driven chain conveyor system within the chamber is detailed. The drive stops at intervals corresponding to stages of advancement. Optical detectors are provided for the supports. Cooling is by fans, with air extraction ducts opposite. Covers direct the flow of air optimally for cooling. Paths are vertical.
