Patent EP-0470226-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GOZANI TSAHI
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 1991-01-09
Abstract: Appareil et procédé de contrôle non envahissant d'un objet (134), permettant de détecter des marchandises prohibées. L'appareil soumet l'objet (134) à un rayonnement de neutrons rapides d'une énergie supérieure à 6,7 MeV, et ensuite mesure les spectres des rayons gamma. L'irradiation de l'objet est effectuée par production d'un faisceau de neutrons (132) et par déplacement de l'objet contrôlé par étapes ou de manière continue par rapport au faisceau. Les interactions nucléaires de neutrons hautement pénétrants dans le volume irradié de l'objet engendrent des rayons gamma caractéristiques de genre de noyau énergétique. L'énergie et l'intensité des rayons gamma émis produisent des informations relatives aux répartitions spatiales et de densité des sources de rayon gamma, c'est-à-dire, les noyaux atomiques spécifiques se trouvant dans l'objet. A partir de ces informations, on déduit des images tridimensionnelles des répartitions spatiales et de densité des noyaux atomiques. Lesdites images tridimensionnelles permettent de prendre une décision concernant la présence de marchandises prohibées. On procède à des mesures à l'aide de réseaux (144) de détecteurs à scintillateurs de rayons gamma. Une analyse décisionnelle basée sur des procédés statistiques (par exemple, une analyse discriminante) ou sur un système neuronal artificiel, ou bien sur un autre système expert, réduit le nombre de fausses alertes. Un mode de réalisation de l'appareil comprend un moyen de collimation (136) de faisceaux de neutrons, permettant de définir et de limiter le volume d'irradiation de l'objet, et un moyen de protection auxiliaire (135) contre les neutrons destiné à atténuer ces derniers, dans d'autres directions du faisceau de neutrons que celles voulues. Un autre mode de réalisation comprend un système à rayons X (150) et combine des informations de densité d'électrons obtenues à partir d'une image radiographique de l'objet à l'aide des informations de répartition spatiale et de densité des sources de rayons gamma, afin d'améliorer

Abstract: To reduce dioxin formation and/or furan formation, it is proposed to increase the SO3/SO2 ratio in the flue gas so that a minimum SO3 content of 10mg/m<3> is achieved. The maximum content must not exceed 500mg/m<3> in this case. The ratio SO3/SO2 can be changed by addition of SO3 or alternatively by catalysts or oxidants which convert SO2 into SO3 at the same total amount of sulphur. In terms of construction, a steam generator is proposed whose steel structure, contacted by the flue gases, is either a tungsten and/or vanadium alloy or is coated on the flue gas side.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-optically switchable columnar liquid-crystalline system which is characterised in that the columns have ferroelectric transverse polarisation. In the columns of electro-optically switchable ferroelectric phases, the molecules are tilted or otherwise oriented to the long axes of the columns in such a way that the columns are ferroelectrically polarised. The ferroelectric polarisation is in a direction transverse to the column axis or has at least one transverse component. The polarisation direction need not be the same for all columns of a columnar phase. By applying an electrical field to the liquid crystal, the transverse polarisation of the columns is fully or partially reoriented. The liquid-crystalline system according to the invention can be used for the production of electro-optical switching and display devices (displays).

Abstract: Rapid extinguishing of the arc in a circuit breaker is accelerated by a booster loop which extends parallel to an arc runner, but carries current in a direction opposite to the direction of current flow in the arc runner. The booster loop and arc runner are formed from a single piece of rigid conductor material, preferable stamped to form mounting lugs and bent over into a U-shaped configuration. In a preferred embodiment, the breaker internal connections are arranged such that current flows through a thermal overload sensor when the contacts are closed, but transfers to the booster loop and arc runner after arc current termination transfers from one of the contacts to the arc runner, thus reducing short circuit current duration through the thermal sensor.

Abstract: Enzymatic dehalogenation of undesirable nitrogen-free organohalogen compounds is carried out by adding a dehalogenase to an aqueous composition comprising a nitrogenfree organohalogen compound and a nitrogen-containing cationic polymer. The enzymatic dehalogenation of the nitrogen-free organohalogen compound is achieved without any substantial effect upon the nitrogen-free organohalogen compound. The dehalogenation method may be carried out via continuous, batch, or semi-continuous processes. 
     The composition is especially useful as a paper wet strengthening formulation, and is useful in commercial papermaking processes. The resulting paper product comprises a residue of a microorganism. 
     Preferably the enzyme is obtained from a biocatalyst, still more preferably from a microorganism. Batch-enrichment of a culture of a dehalogenase-containing microorganism provides a composition capable of substantially eliminating the presence of nitrogen-free organohalogen compounds, which are considered to be pollutants. Cell concentrations of greater than 5 x 10⁷ cells/ml are provided.

Abstract: Defective sectors on an optical disk 31 are identified during initial format, listed on a primary defect list (PDL) and eliminated as sectors that might possibly be reclaimed at a later date. Those sectors which are identified as defective during use of the disk are listed separately from those found defective at initial format in a secondary defect list (SDL). When excessive spare sector usage has occurred, a cleaning operation is called for. After the cleaning operation, those sectors in the SDL are surface analysed to determine whether they are now good. Further, those defective sectors in the SDL adjacent to sectors in the PDL found initially defective are eliminated as reclamation possibilities.
