Patent EP-0547282-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MAYSTRE FRANCOIS DR
IPC: G01N30/02
Filed: 1991-12-19
Abstract: An analytic separation arrangement (1) comprises a system of tubes (2 - 9) including a separation zone (6), preferably a separation column, which tubes upstream the separation zone (6) are connected with reservoirs (10, 11) for an carrier (E) and a chemical sample (S) to be seperated and analyzed, and downstream the separation zone (6) are connected with a waste container (12) for the carrier containing the sample (W) and also are connected with transporting means (13, 14)for the carrier and the sample. The tube system is associated with an optical detector (15) for monitoring changes in the absorption, in the fluorescence or in the optical activity of the carrier (E) when it is transported through the tube system and past the optical detector, which is arranged in the path of the carrier behind the separation zone (6) but in front of the waste container (12). Between the separation zone (6) and the optical detector (15) there is arranged in the path of the carrier (E) a refractive index equalizing unit (16). According to the invention prior to being transported past the optical detector (15) the carrier (E), which is comming from the separation zone (6), is directed through the refractive index equalizing unit (16), where its refractive index is preferably constantly monitored and where upon detection of changes of the refractive index of the carrier the deviation is compensated by adding to the carrier a compensating agent.

Abstract: On fait en sorte qu'un faisceau de référence soit incident dans un interféromètre Michelson, et un signal éléctrique d'interférence de référence, qui change de manière sinusoïdale avec le mouvement d'un réflecteur mobile (14) selon l'interférence du faisceau de référence, est obtenu. Un circuit de commande (21) envoie un signal de commande de direction représentant la direction du mouvement du reflécteur mobile (14) à un générateur de signal à deux phases (32B). En réponse à la direction indiquée, le générateur émet un signal à deux phases, l'une des phases du ginal étant avancée de 90°, et envoie ce signal à deux phases comme signal de réaction à un circuit de servo-commande (19). Le circuit de commande (21) envoie un signal de commande de mouvement au circuit de servo-commande (19) et commande le mouvement du réflecteur mobile (14) de sorte qu'un réglage de haute précision devient possible grâce à la précision de la longueur d'onde du faisceau de reférence.

Title: Cleaning and other vehicles.
Inventor: BRADLEY RICHARD M
IPC: E01H1/08
Filed: 1991-06-07
Abstract: A self-propelled sweeper vehicle has a suction nozzle (22) trailed from a front-mounted downwardly extending linkage (80), and is constrained at its rear end by the connection to the suction duct (30). A linear actuator physically shifts in a lateral direction the connection of the linkage to the front of the nozzle, in response to control signals. The steering of the nozzle is related to the steering of the brush gear and/or the vehicle's steerable wheels in an automatic manner. Thus the nozzle maintains a proper relationship to the vehicle and its brush gear in an automatic manner. The steering of the brush gear itself is effected by the driver independently of the vehicle steering, whereby driver control is maximised while unswept trails are minimised. <IMAGE>

Inventor: KAO JU-NAN
IPC: C07H13/06
Filed: 1991-08-30
Abstract: An improved, solvent-free, two-stage transesterification process for preparing, from a polyol and fatty acid esters of an easily removable alcohol highly esterified polyol fatty acid polyesters having reduced levels of difatty ketones and beta-ketoesters is disclosed. These reduced levels of difatty ketones/beta-ketoesters are achieved by controlling the level of generated alcohol in the liquid phase of the reaction mixture and heating the reaction mixture to certain temperatures during the second stage of this improved process. Other optional reaction conditions, such as keeping the molar ratio of fatty acid esters to polyol within a specified range and reducing the level of basic catalyst, can also be used during the second stage reaction to further reduce the level of difatty ketones and/or beta-ketoesters.

Abstract: A plunger driver system which engages a plurality of different sizes of syringes. A pushing surface (70) includes a detector (82) to determine syringe plunger presence. In the event that the plunger is not present and the pump is operating, a processor (88) provides an alarm and may stop the pump motor. Arms (26) retain the plunger flange (22) in a fixed position in relation to the plunger driver. The arms have anti-siphon flanges (72) to prevent too rapid movement of the plunger into the syringe barrel (12). A shelf (68) for opposing downward movement of the syringe plunger and a ramp (30) to guide the syringe plunger into position in relation to the plunger driver are included in the plunger driver. A cradle (14) for containing all sizes of syringe barrels yet aligning the syringes with the plunger driver is included with a clamp (38) to bold the syringe barrel in position in the cradle. The detector button (76) includes a bevel at its top edge to facilitate loading the plunger in the driver. The plunger driver arms are biased independently from the screw drive disengagement mechanism. A ramp is also formed with the shelf to assist in guiding the syringe plunger into position during syringe installation.

Abstract: A reference amount of consumed energy of a storage battery on an electric-powered vehicle is calculated by adding values of a discharging current of the storage battery which are detected at predetermined time intervals since the storage battery is fully charged. The reference amount of consumed energy is corrected, i.e., multiplied, by consumed-energy corrective coefficients based on the battery temperature, the discharging current, the battery voltage, and the specific gravity of the storage battery, thereby determining an amount of consumed electric energy. A reference amount of remanent stored energy of the storage battery is determined by deducting the determined amount of consumed electric energy from an initial amount of stored energy of the storage battery. The reference amount of remanent stored energy is then corrected, i.e., multiplied, by remanent-energy corrective coefficients based on the ratio of amounts of charged and discharged energy, the number of times that the storage battery has been charged, and the battery temperature.

Abstract: An electrical power-supply device 1 for very-low-voltage DC loads, for example DC motors of air-conveyor devices and for window and door fitting actuating drives is described, which consists of photovoltaic elements 2 (solar panels) and an accumulator 3 on which said elements 2 act and which is connected upstream of the load as a buffer device.   In order that the accumulator can be maintained in a charge state which ensures the correct operability of the DC load in all circumstances, a mains-powered transformer 4 is allocated to the accumulator 3 in addition to the photovoltaic elements 2. In this case, the accumulator 3 can be connected to the photovoltaic element 2 and/or to the secondary part of the transformer 4 via a charging regulator 5 which, in turn, can be switched over between three different switching states, as a function of the charge state of the accumulator 3. In this case, the one switching state connects the photovoltaic elements 2 and the transformer 4 in parallel with one another to the accumulator 3, while the second switching state isolates the transformer 4 from the accumulator 3, and the third switching state also isolates the photovoltaic elements 2 from the accumulator 3. <IMAGE>
