Title: Process for producing scintillating optical fibres and optical fibres obrtained
IPC: C08F12/06
Filed: 1990-01-26
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: A process for producing scintillating optical fibres consisting in dissolving in a monomer having aromatic cycles, in particular vinyltoluene or styrene, 1-phenyl-3-mesityl-2-pyrazolin (PMP) doping molecules and a chain transfer agent, especially glycoldimercapto acetate, in heating the mixture so as to cause it to polymerize and to effect the final sheathing and stretching of the polymer so as to produce the optical fibres. The process of the invention enables fibres to be obtained which have a very small diameter (in the region of 30 to 50 microns) with a reduced molar extinction in a proportion exceeding 100 in relation to conventional scintillating fibres; it also totally suppresses diaphotic phenomena when the fibres are arranged to form a beam.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système expert à base de définitions (203, 215, 219) et à un système expert générique (203, 207, 215, 219). Le système expert générique crée une base de connaissances composées de termes et de leurs définitions, lesquelles forment une hiérarchie de définitions, dans laquelle chaque définition dépend seulement des termes définis à des niveaux inférieurs dans la hiérarchie ou de valeurs indépendantes des termes. On obtient des réponses expert du système en évaluant les termes. Lors de l'évaluation d'un terme, toutes les valeurs indépendantes des termes ainsi que les valeurs de tous les termes contenus dans sa définition sont obtenues. Les définitions contiennent des opérations de spécification opérateurs qui sont exécutées lors de l'évaluation du terme défini. L'exécution des opérations opérateurs consiste à permettre l'exploitation d'autres systèmes exploitables dans le système d'ordinateur numérique dans lequel le système expert est exploité.

Title: Pivoting device
Inventor: SPEICH HELMUT

Granted: 1997-03-19
Abstract: The pivoting device has at least one pivoting arm (1) which is arranged on at least one support (2). There engages on the pivoting arm at least one brake (7, 9) which is ineffective when pivoted up and secures the pivoting arm (1) against pivoting back. When the pivoting arm (1) is pivoted down, the brake (7, 9) comes into operation so that the pivoting arm (1) cannot fall down unintentionally. As the brake (7, 9) is made inoperational when the pivoting arm (1) is pivoted up, only the dead weight of the pivoting arm (1) has to be pushed up, which even disabled persons can carry out easily. <IMAGE>

Abstract: While chelants such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) have been used for preventing scale deposition in boiler water, because of the expense it has not been used in cooling water treatment. It has been found that a relatively small quantity of a chelant can be used in combination with a scale deposit control agent such as a phosphonate to prevent scale deposition in cooling water. A preferred composition including a 4.5:1 ratio by weight of hydroxyethylene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) to EDTA displays a synergistic effect when used for scale prevention.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for identifying the various equipment (loads) on an electric circuit by non-invasive measurements, i.e. not requiring installation of equipment other than a suitable electric meter, for determining the portion of total consumption attributable to each equipment, and for classifying consumption in tabular form for later use. The method involves making appropriate measurements on the electrical supply current for the circuit to determine the variations in impedence of the circuit loads with time, identifying said loads by determining the portion due to an amplitude effect and the portion due to a phase variation, classifying these applied loads in a table, and calculating the consumed power for each type of previously identified and classified load.
