Patent FI-964742-A (FI)
Inventor: BECKS ARI
IPC: G06F40/42
Filed: 1996-11-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and arrangement for translating information presented as a character string in a first language into a character string in a second language. The invention is advantageously applied in the translation of textual information in a computer. One of the ideas with the invention is that the information to be translated is divided into structural segments 102, after which the translation is carried out segment by segment 122. The translation is carried out on the basis of model segments and rules which have been stored in a knowledge base. The information included in the knowledge base is advantageously expanded such that the user, in connection with the execution of the translation, where necessary through the agency of the user interface, inputs translations 132 of new structural segments, which translations are then stored in the knowledge base 133, 134 as model segments. Thanks to the realization according to the invention, a smaller memory capacity and lower processor speed are sufficient in the apparatus which carries out the translation. In addition, significantly less programming work is required, whilst, at the same time, the performance of the apparatus is able to be developed without updating of the software. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sulfonated polymer membrane and to a process for the preparation thereof. According to the process, a polymer film is irradiated, and the irradiated polymer film is sulfonated in order to link sulfonic acid groups thereto. According to the invention, the sulfonation is continued until the total concentration of sulfonic acid groups in the membrane is 0.4-3.0 meq/g and they are homogeneously distributed in the membrane material in such a manner that their concentration in the middle of the membrane is at minimum 0.2 meq/g. With the help of the invention, it is possible by a rapid and simple process to prepare membranes the chemical and mechanical properties of which can be regulated by means of the selection of the initial film, by irradiation and by the sulfonation process.

Abstract: 1,176,124. Coating with metals. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. Jan.8, 1968 [Jan.13, 1967], No.1038/68. Heading C7F. In the electroless deposition of a metal coating on a polymer, the surface is coated with a constituent monomer of the polymer, the monomer polymerized, and coated with a reducible metal salt, the monomer acting as a reducing agent for the metal salt. In an example a urea formaldehyde substrate is soaked in nitric acid, rinsed, dipped in formaldehyde, dried to polymerize the coating, and then the coatings is depolymerized in the presence of a metal salt which may be palladium, gold or nickel chloride or nickel, cobalt. or copper sulphate. The metal salt is reduced during this process. The substrate is then coated with Ni, Co, Cu, Pd or Ni-Fe, Ni-Co, or Ni-W-P alloys. Examples of both alkali and acid electroless nickel plating baths are desinked. The coating may be subsequently electro-plated.

Title: Improvements in and relating to methods of speed control for electric motors
IPC: H02J3/30
Filed: 1938-01-18
Abstract: 509,769. Alternating-current induction motors. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., and ADKINS, B. Jan. 18, 1938, No. 1685. Addition to 462,827. [Class 35] In a system as described in the parent Specification for automatically controlling the speed and power factor of an induction motor, a constant reactance is included on the primary side of the exciter for maintaining the exciting current substantially constant. The reactance may be constituted by a high reactance transformer 13 coupling the input circuits of the main motor 1 and the frequency changer 9 and this arrangement enables the series windings 6 of the slip-regulator 3 to be reduced or eliminated. Variable resistances 12, 10 may be used in the exciter circuit and improved automatic control of the speed of the motor in accordance with the load can be obtained by varying these resistances or by inserting a resistance in the main secondary circuit by means of contactors operated by a current relay or otherwise. The exciting circuit may be connected to the supply through a transformer, and both this and the transformer 13 may be tapped to provide adjustment of the slope and position of the torque-speed curve of the motor. Heavy peak loads may be provided for by inserting a resistance 16 in the secondary circuit of the motor by means of a relay-operated contactor 17 or by changing taps on the transformers. According to the Provisional Specification, automatic variation of the reactance may be provided.

Abstract: 690,162. Copying by scanning. EASTMAN KODAKCO. Jan. 21, 1949 [Jan. 21, 1948]; No. 1744/49. Class 40 (iii). In a scanning arrangement for electrical facsimile reproduction, images of spaced areas to be scanned are optically formed in contiguous relation at a scanning position and such contiguous images are then scanned transversely line-by-line. As shown, horizontal strips of the matter on the card 10 (Fig. 1), or 29 (Fig. 2), are projected by a lens 13 on to an elongated aperture 15 in a mask 14 associated with a spiral slot 17 in a rotatable drum 16 surrounding a photo-electric cell 18. A prism 31 located between the lens 13 and the mask 14 has four facets 32 and is shaped so that the matter to be reproduced, i.e. letters &c. has substantially its full width, whilst the intervening spaces are reduced substantially to zero with the result that the continuous scanning of the aperture 15 produces signals corresponding solely to the lines of printed matter. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the prism 31 is replaced by three separate prisms, and in further modifications, the optical device equivalent to the prism 31 is located between the card 29 and the lens 13, and is constituted by a composite prism concave to the incident light, Fig. 4 (not shown), or by four positive semicylindrical lenses, Fig. 5 (not shown). In a further modification, four negative semi-cylindrical lenses are placed between the lens 13 and the apertured mask 14. The amplified signals are applied to an electromagnet 20 with its armature 21 rigidly connected to a printer bar 22 co-operating with a helical ridge 23 on a drum 24 connected by a shaft 25 to a motor 26 which also drives the drum 16.

Title: Improvements in hydration of olefines
IPC: C07C29/06
Filed: 1941-02-11
Abstract: Olefines which are mixed with saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are hydrated by treating in the liquid phase with a mineral acid of hydrating strength in a counter-current manner in a series of alternate emulsification and decantation zones, an inert gas being used to effect the emulsification and also movement through the said zones.  At one end of the battery the saturated hydrocarbons are obtained, at the other the hydrating solution saturated with the olefines, which is hydrolysed to give the alcohol.  The alcohol is removed from the acid by scrubbing with a hot inert gas, and the acid is concentrated for re-use by heating it.  In the example, a propanepropylene mixture is treated with sulphuric acid as indicated above giving pure isopropyl alcohol and propane. Specifications 511,247 and 586,829 are referred to.
