Abstract: This invention provides for novel road paving binder compositions and the method of making them. One embodiment is a road paving binder composition of a storage stable blend of a sulfonated, unhydrogenated random copolymer of styrene and butadiene having a sulfonation level of from 1 to 100 meq S03H/100 g of polymer and a sulfonated asphalt. Another is a method of making a storage stable polymer modified asphalt composition by combining a sulfonated unhydrogenated random styrene butadiene copolymer having a sulfonation level of from about 1 to 100 meq S03H per 100 g of polymer and a sulfonated asphalt at a temperature of at least about 180 DEG  C. to produce a storage stable polymer modified asphalt. Yet another is a method of making a storage stable polymer modified asphalt by combining a sulfonated unhydrogenated random styrene and butadiene copolymer having a sulfonation level of from about 1 to 100 meq S03H/100 g of polymer, and unsulfonated asphalt and a basic neutralizing agent at a temperature of from about 170 DEG  C. to 185 DEG  C. to produce a storage stable polymer modified asphalt. Still another is a method for making a storage stable road paving composition by cosulfonation of a blend of unhydrogenated random styrene-butadiene copolymer and an asphalt at 180 DEG -210 DEG  C. The novel road paving asphaltic compositions have enhanced viscoelasticity and storage stability. The compositions can be used as binders in road paving applications. Sulfonated copolymers of random styrene-isoprene may be substituted for the sulfonated copolymers of styrene-butadiene herein.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de fabrication d'un élément constitué de parties pouvant être séparées pour être ré-assemblées ultérieurement autour d'un autre élément. Ce procédé consiste à prendre des pièces forgées séparées, par exemple une bielle (3) et un chapeau (5) pour les forger ou les emboutir ensemble avant de les usiner. Les surfaces de contact des pièces forgées présentent une configuration de type arête-rainure ou bosse/évidement-tenon, ce qui leur permet de s'auto-positionner. Après l'usinage, les pièces forgées sont fracturées le long de leur division initiale pour donner deux surfaces correspondantes uniques ne nécessitant par d'autre traitement avant leur ré-assemblage, par exemple, pour former une bielle pour un moteur à combustion interne.

Abstract: The embroidery fabric on an embroidery machine, which moves the fabric in relation to the tensioning device, has at least part of the fabric (21) held under tension by a side tensioning bar (35) so that the fabric has the same tension after the shifting movement as before the movement. During fabric movement, it is detached from the tension bar by an appropriate length for the movement. When the fabric (21) has been moved into a new position, the material is secured to the pins at the side tensioning bar (35) while the running of the threads is taken into account. The fabric is secured, during creel movement, so that it is still in relation to the needles. An Independent claim is included for an embroidery machine creel, where the tensioning bars (35) have a translatory movement in it so that, when they move, the fabric is carried with them. The side tensioning bars are divided into segments (25) which lock and release the fabric. The segments (25) are mounted to a flexible carrier chain (29), which is a closed loop between two deflection wheels (31). At the side towards the fabric, the carrier chain travels in a guide rail (33). A static unit at the creel detaches the fabric (21) from the side tensioning bars, as the fabric is moved through it. The side tensioning bars (35) have a number of pins to engage the embroidery fabric, and the fabric is detached by lifting clear of the pins. The side tensioning bar and fabric detaching unit are components of a side tensioning system (23), mounted to the creel. The fabric is automatically held under tension while its position is being shifted, using two rollers on parallel axis aligned at an angle to the movement direction of the fabric. The chain or segments ride in a guide rail to engage the segments into the fabric and hold it under tension.

Abstract: Hétérostructure de semi-conducteurs à croissance épitaxiale comportant une région interne (5) essentiellement confinée dans le sens latéral par des régions de confinement (9) et comportant un confinement transversal renforcé par des couches de confinement transversal renforcées (3, 7). Ces dernières couches ne sont pas exposées hors de la chambre de croissance au cours du traitement, en arrêtant la gravure de réalisation du confinement latéral au-dessus de la couche inférieure (3) de confinement renforcé dans le sens transversal et en croissant une telle couche supérieure (7) après avoir réalisé les régions de confinement latéral (9). La structure est destinée à être utilisée en particulier avec une région interne agissant comme région laser active, par exemple pour des lasers à base de phosphure d'indium (InP) ou fonctionnant sur une longueur d'ondes de 1,3 νm. Les phénomènes simultanés de confinement latéral, de confinement transversal renforcé et de protection contre l'exposition apportent simultanément les avantages d'un faible courant seuil, d'une faible sensibilité à la température et d'un fonctionnement fiable et durable. Les couches de confinement transversal renforcées (3, 7) peuvent comprendre de l'aluminium protégé contre l'oxydation au cours du traitement. Un tel laser est protégé en conséquence contre la perte de fiabilité.

Abstract: In order to analyse the location of the traffic of a base station in a cellular radio communications network, the process uses measurements of radio parameters made by mobile stations in respect of the said base station and neighbouring base stations. Statistical processing of these measurements, together with cartographic data on the prameters measured, make it possible to determine traffic density in the cell, at least in areas of high traffic density. These results enable the operator of the network to choose the best locations for the installation of new base stations, including microcells.

Abstract: On décrit un système de communications permettant d'accroître, au moyen de bus redondants (107R, 107L, 107LB), l'intégrité et la fiabilité de données, ainsi qu'un organe de gestion d'interface de réseau, utile avec ce système. Des conducteurs redondants (107), conformes aux standards bien connus d'Ethernet, relient entre eux des composants électroniques. Chaque composant communique avec ces conducteurs (107) au moyen d'une carte d'interface de réseau (NIC). Chaque carte NIC comprend un émetteur-récepteur (101 A-C) conforme aux standards d'Ethernet (107) et destiné à chaque conducteur Ethernet communiquant avec le composant. Des microrégisseurs (112) encastrés dans chaque carte NIC placent de manière synchrone et déterministe des données sur les conducteurs Ethernet (107), selon une chronologie conservée dans une mémoire non volatile (113). Un contrôleur de séquences/dispositif d'interruption d'alimentation (114) sert à empêcher la transmission de données dans le cas d'une défaillance des microrégisseurs (112). Grâce aux éléments de l'invention décrits ici, ce système de communications offre un niveau élevé de redondance et de tolérance aux fautes et il est donc tout à fait conçu pour des applications critiques de communications avioniques.

Also claimed are medical-technical and hygiene articles containing or consisting of the modified polymer substrate. Preferably grafting is carried out immediately after pre-treatment and only the monomer used for pre-treatment is graft polymerised; or the pre-treated substrate is treated with (II) and/or different monomer(s) and all the monomer(s) is grafted. The substrate is pre-treated with a mixture of (IA) or (IB), (II) and 0-80 wt.% inert solvent. It may than be contacted with, especially dipped in, other liquid monomer(s) or a solution of other (liquid) monomer(s). Graft polymerisation is carried out with radiation of wavelength 200-400 nm or at 50-150 degrees C, especially with IR or microwave radiation.

Abstract: A piston for separating the hydraulic side (14) of a pressure storage reservoir from a gas side (16) has piston sealing rings (18,20) of elastomer or of any other suitable sealing material. To protect the sealing rings from damage by debris in the hydraulic fluid a special felt ring (24) is fitted around the piston as the first ring seal to the hydraulic side. The felt collects any debris in the hydraulic fluid and ensures that only filtered fluid reaches the elastomer sealing rings. The main piston can be supplemented by a secondary piston on the gas side of the main piston, and connected to the main piston by a sprung coupling. The space between the two pistons is filled with clean hydraulic fluid.
