Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil qui permettent de défléchir un jet de liquide (26) pendant sa diffusion, grâce à plusieurs passages d'émission d'air actionnables séparemment . A cet effet, on utilise un pistolet vaporisateur (20) comprenant un bec diffuseur (21) pourvu d'un orifice (24) de diffusion du jet liquide (26). Des trous de soufflage d'air (33a-33f) entourent l'orifice (24) et sont dirigés vers la voie d'écoulement du jet de liquide (26), juste en deçà de l'extrémité du pistolet vaporisateur (20). Les trous de soufflage d'air (33a-33f) sont reliés par des conduits (35a-35f) à une source d'air sous pression (37). Un synchronisateur (41) actionne des soupapes à solénoïdes (48, 38, 39) pour réguler la diffusion du liquide à travers l'orifice (34), ainsi que les émissions d'air depuis les trous de soufflage (33a-33f). En coordonnant la diffusion du liquide avec les émissions d'air directionnelles, le jet de liquide (26) peut être défléchi pour former sur un substrat (27) une configuration  de distribution des points ou des jets désirée ou pour former un revêtement vaporisé uniforme sur la surface intérieure d'un récipient pour liquides en forme de boîte.

Abstract: In painting in a paint-spray booth (1) with a water-sprinkled rear wall (2), the booth effluent is divided by ultrafiltration (13) into permeate and paint-containing residue. The permeate is recycled. Fresh spray composition is fed in. The paint is preferably an alkyd resin, an acrylic resin, a polyvinyl acetate resin, a silicone resin, a copolymer thereof, a mixed polymer thereof or a mixture thereof. The spray composition contains one component for preventing coalescence, preferably one or more aliphatic amines having an average molecular weight from 75 to 133 or mixtures or derivatives thereof, and a component for delaying the drying. If the paint used is emulsifiable or dispersible in water, the spray composition and/or the booth effluent preferably contains a component for stabilising the emulsion or dispersion. The booth effluent contains a component for adjusting the throughput, preferably a derivative of glycol or of a higher alcohol. The spray composition and/or the booth effluent can contain a biocidal component. The conductivity of the fresh water is maintained below a limit of preferably 10<-4>  OMEGA <-1> cm<-1>, preferably by reverse osmosis. The paint-containing residue from the booth effluent is concentrated by removal of water until its paint content is approximately equal to that of the fresh spray composition. The residue thus concentrated is re-used. The concentrating and the re-use can be carried out continuously or discontinuously and, in the latter case, the concentrated residue is put into temporary storage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrostatic spraying apparatus is in the form of a device suitable for hand held use. The device uses a high voltage generator of the rectified pulsed type and includes an earth return path which is completed via the operator through a contact (38) associated with the hand grip (4) of the device. Resistance (36), typically of the order of 50 megohm, suppresses pulsed electrical sensations that may be experienced by the operator in the event that the nozzle (12) is contacted with an earthed object, and the nozzle (12) is designed so that the liquid therein presents, by virtue of the length and cross-sectional area of a liquid conducting passage(s) in the nozzle, a high resistance between the voltage generator (26) and the nozzle thereby reducing the energy that can be drawn to earth by electrical discharge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronic game apparatus which includes a playing board having a playing surface and playing areas and is capable of identifying game pieces and their position on the playing surface. First and second sets of parallel transmission lines are located beneath the playing surface of the playing board. The second set of parallel transmission lines is orthogonal to the first set of transmission lines. The first and second sets of transmission lines form intersecting points which are positioned proximate to a playing area of the playing surface. A source of electromagnetic energy has a plurality of predetermined different frequencies within a predetermined frequency range. A plurality of game pieces, each containing a resonant circuit having a predetermined resonant frequency, correspond to a frequency within a predetermined frequency range. A selector sequentially supplies electromagnetic energy at a selected frequency within the predetermined frequency range to the first set of transmission lines. A detector connected to the second set of transmission lines determines the presence of a game piece by detecting electromagnetic energy at a frequency within the predetermined frequency range on one of the transmission lines.

Abstract: A method and system for finding a path through a communications matrix represents the assignment of a center stage switch through an input switch to input gates by an input stage array, center stage switch connections between an input stage switch and an output stage switch by a center stage array, and output stage switch connections to output gates by an output stage array, as well as representing idle input switch links to the center stage switches by an idle input array and idle output switch links from the center stage switches by an idle output array. The method and system perform a process of pumping the input stage array, output stage array and center stage array using information in the idle input link array and the idle output link array to determine an optimal center stage switch having both an idle input link between a predetermined input gate and the optimal center stage and an idle output link from the optimal center stage to a predetermined output gate as identified by the idle input link and idle output link arrays. The pumping process relies on the idle input array and idle output array for connection status data. The method and system may be used advantageously with a rearrangeable communications matrix to establish optimal connection configurations during both normal and rearrangement operations. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: Means for dispensing simultaneously two liquids held in respective flexible containers (2,24), one within the other, comprise concentric tubular passages (16,38) for flows of the liquids from their containers when pressure is applied to the outer container. The inner passage has a narrow elongate form and terminates within the outer passage a final exit section of which provides a common conduit for both flows. A reduced liquid pressure is produced at the inner passage termination by having a tapered upstream end (52) of said conduit overlapping said termination and the conduit is configured to inhibit mixing of the flows along its length. The two liquids are thus dispensed in a single stream in which an, eg. coloured, flow from the inner passage is visible in the core of the stream. By adjusting the position of said conduit taper (52) relative to the inner passage termination it is possible to vary the proportions of the two components in the flow. <IMAGE>
