Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré de traitement de la surface de polymères cellulosiques hydrosolubles avec des agents de réticulation pour obtenir des produits qui sont plus faciles à disperser dans l'eau froide et qui présentent des temps de montée en viscosité plus importants que dans le cas de polymères traités dans des mélangeurs à faible cisaillement, tels que les mélangeurs à rubans. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à répartir l'agent de réticulation en utilisant un mélangeur continu à cisaillement élevé et à chauffer ensuite pour faciliter la réticulation en surface. Le procédé permet également de diminuer la quantité d'agents de réticulation nécessaires.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de configuration d'un produit (1) à partir d'une pluralité de composants sélectionnables (102-120). Ledit procédé consiste à établir pour chacun des composants une liste de classes disponibles, à définir des propriétés spécifiques pour chacune des classes associées à chaque composant, à définir des contraintes entre les composants fondées sur lesdites propriétés spécifiques, à sélectionner une première pluralité de composants en vue d'une configuration du produit, à identifier chaque composant de ladite pluralité de composants comme étant sélectionnable, éliminé ou en contradiction, en fonction desdites contraintes, et à modifier la configuration du produit de façon à écarter les composants éliminés ou en contradiction. Ledit procédé rend possible la conception assistée par ordinateur d'un système qui permet la participation interactive du concepteur en vue de l'identification des composants nécessaires à la conception d'une nouvelle configuration lorsqu'une configuration initiale s'avère incapable de fonctionner.

Abstract: On obtient des compositions polymères à constante diélectrique élevée et faible tangente d'angle de pertes à partir de sulfure polyphénylène, céramique à constante diélectrique élevée et faible tangente d'angle de pertes, et à partir d'une charge de renforcement facultative. Le titanate de strontium représente la céramique préférée. Ces compositions présentent une constante diélectrique d'au moins 4 environ. Quand on utilise du mica, de l'alumine ou du titanate de magnésium en guise de charge de renforcement ajoutée, le coefficient d'expansion thermique diminue notablement.

Abstract: Un dispositif pneumatique de dégivrage (20) pour avion, qui est constitué d'un élastomère (40) renforcé par des fibres et qui a des défauts de surface constitués par de petites fissures (80) ou des trous minuscules (70), est réparé par un procédé consistant à appliquer sur le site endommagé une composition comprenant un adhésif de cyanoacrylate d'éthyle et, si nécessaire, un copolymère éthylénique caoutchouteux comme matériau de remplissage. Un site abîmé n'ayant pas subi de perte de matériau est nettoyé avec un solvant et le composé adhésif est appliqué sur les côtés de la fissure et les côtés sont rapprochés au moyen d'une bande adhésive pour redonner au dispositif de dégivrage sa forme d'origine. Un site abîmé ayant subi une perte de matériau est rempli d'une combinaison de composé adhésif et de matériau de remplissage, sans faire intervenir de bande adhésive. Dans les deux cas, le composé est durci à température ambiante. Le site abîmé est alors poncé pour lui redonner le profil d'origine. Ce procédé peut être utilisé avec les dispositifs de dégivrage faits en caoutchouc, en néoprène ou en 'ESTANE'.

Abstract: Disclosed is a modular jack assembly comprising an outer insulative housing having top and bottom walls and opposed lateral walls which define an interior section of the housing having front and rear open ends, and an insulated insert having a first section superimposed over the rear open end of the insulated housing and a second section extending generally perpendicular from the first section into the interior section of the housing. There are engagement points on both the top wall and the opposed lateral walls of the outer insulated housing. Latches may be positioned on the insulated insert on either their first section or their second section depending on the specific configuration of the insulated insert. If latches are positioned on the first section, the opposed lateral walls will be engaged. If latches are positioned on the top section, the top wall will be engaged. A common housing may, therefore, be used for a number of different types of insulated inserts.

Abstract: A high temperature fuel cell production involves forming a pure chromium (III) oxide layer on a chromium-containing component using a gaseous reactant mixture of extremely low equilibrium oxygen partial pressure. A high temperature fuel cell production process involves forming a chromium oxide layer onto a chromium-containing component by supplying a mixture of two gaseous reactants, one of which contains oxygen such that the mixture has a low equilibrium oxygen partial pressure (pO2) of below 10-6 bar, in a ratio and at a temperature (T) such that only Cr2O3 is formed. Independent claims are also included for (i) production of a high temperature fuel cell, in which a chromium oxide layer is applied onto a chromium-containing component surface by exposure to a mixture of two gaseous reactants under conditions such that, at the process temperature (T), the mixture is reducing towards CrO2 and CrO3 and is oxidizing towards metallic chromium at the component surface; and (ii) a high temperature fuel cell with a layer produced as described above. Preferred Features: The reactants are H2 and H2). The process temperature (T) is 500-1200 (especially 950) degrees C.

Abstract: The fastening consists of a semi-cylindrical component with a threaded hole to act as a nut, having dimensions which enable it to be inserted sideways through the gap between two adjacent bars of the grating, using a tool in the form of an L-shaped rod with its tip engaging with a hole in one end face of the nut. Once the nut has been inserted it is turned through 90 degrees by pulling it upwards so that it interacts with the sloping undersides of the adjacent bars. With the tool holding it in position a bolt (18) can be inserted between the bars to fix an object such as a bracket (17) to the grating upper surface.

Abstract: Method and apparatus associated with safe retraction of medical needles after use. Embodiments are disclosed for combinations comprising medical syringes and self-retracting needle systems (10). An energy-storing, needle-retracting mechanism comprises an elastic tubing (180) which also is taught to perform a plurality of functions comprising the storing of force by which a medical needle (140) is retracted, slidable seals (150), normally closed valves (160) and dynamic volume control by which fluid regurgitation upon needle retraction is voided. Selective, constrictive control of the internal volume of the tubing (180) when stretched effectively inhibits regurgitant flow from the needle (140) as the tubing (180) relaxes while retracting the needle (140). In all embodiments, needle retraction is initiated by forces applied in a direction transverse to the long axis of the needle (140) using but a single hand. The syringe (10) may be used in a plurality of modes such as a standard syringe or as a pre-filled syringe. Methods for making and assembling the combination are also disclosed. Invention manufacture requires only a minimal number and complexity of parts such that a projected manufacturing cost is potentially low enough to permit the apparatus to be cost competitive with contemporary combinations of hypodermic syringes and non-self-retracting needle systems.
