Abstract: A luminaire (1) has means for holding and for electrically connecting a tube-like lamp (2) and a back reflector (4), extending over the length of the lamp (2), which is provided for the purpose of reflecting a part of the light emitted from the lamp (1) counter to a certain emission direction. In the back reflector there are provided through-openings (5) which are provided for the purpose of allowing a part of the light emitted from the lamp (2) to pass through in the emission direction, whereby pot reflectors (6) adjoin onto the through-openings (5) in the back reflector (4) in the emission direction. The luminaire distinguishes itself through the variety of the illumination effects which can be achieved therewith, which however have no effect on the functionality of the luminaire for room illumination or for the illumination of workplaces.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de polymériser un ou plusieurs monomères. Ce procédé consiste à ajouter un ou plusieurs amorceurs et éventuellement un ou plusieurs tensioactifs à un mélange de polymérisation lorsque la pression descend dans le réacteur de polymérisation. Ce procédé permet de raccourcir le temps de polymérisation grâce à une vitesse supérieure de chute de pression à la fin de la réaction de polymérisation. De plus, ce procédé permet d'utiliser plus efficacement la capacité de refroidissement du réacteur de polymérisation.

IPC: B01D63/10

Granted: 2008-05-07
Abstract: A process for ultrafiltration using a spiral wound membrane filter is disclosed where the pressure in the space between the filter element and the pressure vessel is higher than or equal to the pressure inside the filter element. Using these conditions the static force created by the pressure provides a high friction between different sheets in the spiral wound filter element, which efficient prevents unwinding or telescoping of the filter element. Using this configuration it is possible to perform the ultrafiltration using a higher differential pressure across the filter element than would otherwise have been possible which leads to a higher efficiency and a low energy consumption. Further an anti telescoping device (ATD) and a spiral wound filter element, which are particular suited for the disclosed process, are described.

Abstract: Control panels of a simulated complex system are displayed as a texture mask over a three-dimensional visual representation of an environment in which the complex system is operating. The three-dimensional visual representation is displayed in an inactive window to a user practicing or training on the simulated system. An active window underlying the visual display is used to track user inputs to the control panels. Smart graphics translate the user inputs into data elements that are sent to a full-scope simulation, and simulation conditions are returned and used to update the display of the control panels and the visual representation of the environment.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved closure assembly or tamper-evident device(5) adapted to be applied to a mouth and neck portion (10,11) of a container (15) for liquid. There is a need to provide such devices with tamper-indicating features, which, while not acting in any refilling preventive role, give a clear irremovable and/or irreversible indication that a bottle has been opened since being originally filled with genuine contents. Such clear indicators have been somewhat lacking in previous closure designs. Accordingly the invention provides a closure assembly (5) comprising a sleeve (20) adapted to lie substantially concentrically with respect to the mouth (10) and provided with means for fixing the sleeve (20) on the container (15), the closure assembly (5) further comprising a first outer sleeve (25) being a substantially tight fit with the sleeve (20) but rotatable with respect thereto, and a second outer sleeve (30) separate from the first outer sleeve and associated with a container closure member (35), and wherein there are provided means for spacing apart initially adjacent portions of the first and second outer sleeves (25,30) upon reclosure of the assembly (5) after an initial opening of the container (15). The closure assembly also provides a non-refillable device (90).
