Patent EP-0358991-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SIMON WILHELM
IPC: G01N33/84
Filed: 1989-08-23
Abstract: A test device is described, by means of which the presence or concentration or activity of cations, anions or electrically neutral ionogenic species can be determined by a variation of the optical properties of this test device. The device includes at least one cation-selective lipophilic ionophore, combined with at least one anion-selective lipophilic ionophore or a component which acts as cation exchanger or at least one anion-selective ionophore in combination with a cation-selective lipophilic ionophore or a component which acts as an anion exchanger, in each case at least one of these components varying its optical properties as soon as the test device comes into contact with the cation or anion or the neutral ionogenic species to be determined. In an appropriate test, anions and cations pass simultaneously from the substantially aqueous test solution into the organic phase of the test device, or an ion exchange takes place between cations of the test solution and cations of the test device, or anions of the test solution and anions of the test device, and at least one of the ions entering the test device is complexed there by the corresponding ion- selective lipophilic ionophore. The extent of the variation of the optical properties of the test device is equivalent to the concentration of the ion to be determined, an ion competing with it or a counter-ion formally forming a salt with the ion in question.

Abstract: A film mounted semiconductor device (8) is applied to a socket (39) therefor by means of a protective carrier (4) from which project four posts (16) arranged in such a way that a line drawn between two opposite posts would pass through the center of the carrier. The film (10) is formed with elongate slots each receiving one of the posts (16) with clearance (36) in the longitudinal direction of the slot but the post (16) closely fitting the slot in its transverse direction. Each post (16) is fitted snugly into a pccket in the socket (39). The slots allow relative movement between the film (10) and the posts (16) to take up dimensional changes resulting from temperature and humidity changes, but as the posts (16) fit the slots in their transverse direction, the film (10), the carrier (4) and the socket (39) are maintained concentric.

Abstract: Latex foam has been produced to date in metal moulds which are preferably heated with steam. In the case of deep moulds, the gelling and vulcanisation time is long; the process requires expensive apparatus and is not very economical in terms of energy. The latex foam is introduced into a mould of nonmetallic material, the temperature of which at the surface in contact with the latex foam can be between 45 DEG C and 100 DEG C, and the said foam is brought to a temperature of up to 100 DEG C in the course of 3 to 10 minutes by means of microwaves, the foam being vulcanised. Thick foam elements also have a very uniform pore structure and a uniform elongation at break. Production of latex foam in constant quality even in a thick layer under economical conditions.

Abstract: In flue gases or other humid exhaust gases which contain NOx and SO2, the NOx content is reduced and the SO2 content is oxidized to SO3 by a catalytic processing and the SO3 content is subsequently condensed as sulfuric acid. In order to prevent a clogging and deterioration of the catalyst and a contamination of the sulfuric acid the flue gas is subjected before the catalytic processing to a fine dedusting by a scrubbing with hot dilute sulfuric acid. In dependence on the water content of the flue gases the concentration of sulfuric acid in the dilute sulfuric acid and the temperature of the latter are adjusted so that no water will be transferred from the flue gases to the dilute sulfuric acid and no water or only a small amount of water will be transferred from the dilute sulfuric acid to the flue gas.

Abstract: Un dispositif de combustion tel qu'une étuve (10) peut comprendre un mélange de combustibles pressurisés tel qu'un conteneur aérosol (16) contenant de l'alcool et un propulseur, par exemple un hydrocarbure normalement gazeux, tel que du gaz de pétrole liquéfié. Le propulseur et l'air sont introduits dans une zone de combustion (26) sous forme d'un mélange de combustion et brûlés dans celle-ci pendant une période de démarrage à froid afin de préchauffer et de faire s'évaporer le combustible liquide. Lorsque le combustible liquide s'est évaporé sous l'effet de la chaleur fournie par la combustion du gaz propulseur, la combustion se poursuit en consommant le liquide évaporé, par exemple de l'alcool ou du combustible. La composition de combustible pressurisé peut comprendre une plus grande proportion d'alcool avec une proportion réduite du combustible de démarrage en hydrocarbure propulseur. Le procédé comprend par conséquent une phase initiale de combustion de démarrage à froid qui utilise le propulseur comme combustible et une phase ultérieure de combustion qui utilise le combustible liquide évaporé. Du gaz propulseur dissous ou entraîné dans le combustible liquide peut éventuellement être brûlé pendant la phase ultérieure de combustion également.

Abstract: A regeneration system for a particulate trap (2) provided in an exhaust pipe (1a) of an engine in which the regeneration is initiated when the pressure loss across the trap (2) has reached a preset value. Then the preset value is renewed when the peak value of the trap temperature through the regeneration resides out of a predetermined range or when the pressure loss after the regeneration exceeds the preset value even though the peak value resides within said predetermined range. The initial value of said preset value is determined on the basis of the minimum value within the variation of the pressure loss of cleaned traps.
