Patent EP-0574870-B1 (EP)
Inventor: MICHELS CHRISTOPH DR
IPC: C08J5/18

Abstract: Process for producing moulded (shaped) cellulose articles, such as fibres and films, from a solution of cellulose in an N-oxide of a tertiary amine, in particular in N-methylmorpholine N-oxide, that contains a non-solvent, by extruding the solution through a die into a medium which will not precipitate (coagulate) the cellulose, orienting the cellulose molecules by stretching the extruded jet of solution within said medium, and precipitating the cellulose from the jet of solution by contacting with a precipitating-medium without significant drawing, characterised in that the shear gradient in the die channel is used to produce a jet of solution containing partially oriented (pre-oriented) cellulose molecules and the stretching of this jet of solution is performed within the non-precipitating-medium at a jet stretch ratio V < 3. The low jet stretch ratio enhances the reliability of the spinning process, shortens the stretching zone within the non-precipitating-medium, and makes it possible to increase the number of die holes per unit area. Elongation and loop-strength values of the spun fibres are improved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, is provided with first and second flexible bending axes separating front and rear portions of the article from a central portion. Each of the bending axes is created by a notch formed in the longitudinally extending sides of the article. A fluid pervious cover layer forms the body facing surface of the article. A transversely extending slit is formed in the portion of the cover within each of the notches. A fluid impervious barrier layer forms the garment facing surface of the article. A pleat is formed in the portion of the barrier extending between the edges of each of the slits. The notches, slits and pleats allow the front and rear portions of the article to freely bend upward into contact with the use's body and prevent lateral compression in the central portion of the article from being transmitted to the front and rear portions so as to undesirably increase the stiffness of the article in the longitudinal direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The sleeve-like valve body (40) consisting of elastomeric material is arranged in the valve space (14) enclosed by the housing (10). The sleeve-like valve body (40) is fastened on the housing (10) by means of its fastening end (44) and its flow channel (42) is connected in terms of flow to the inlet opening (24). By means of its central section (50) which spans the ventilation opening (38), the valve body (40) rests against the ventilation valve seat (56) formed on the housing (10). The central section (50) is adjoined by a bead (52), which is adjoined, on the other side, by the end section (54), which rests against the valve seat element (60) under pre-stressing. With water flowing in the flow direction (S) and with the same pressure at the inlet and outlet sides, the valve body (40) resting on the ventilation valve (56) prevents water from flowing out through the ventilation opening (38). With a subatmospheric pressure on the feed side, the central section (50) is raised from the ventilation seat (56) in order to ventilate the outlet opening (28). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The subject of the invention is an EIB module, which consists of a universal, programmable bus connector and a terminal device with up to four input or output channels. A test button (T1) and a signal diode (D1) are assigned to each channel. Also, a logical switch (20) is provided, the bus control signal (BS) is present at one of its inputs, and the test signal (TS), which is triggered by the test button (T1) being pressed, is present at its other input (22). An actuator simulation signal (AS1) then appears at the output (23) e.g. of an output channel, and causes a relay (RL) to pick up, following which a supply voltage is present at an actuator clamp (A1). The switch (20) is an OR gate, which is connected so that the bus control signal (BS) which is present at the input (21) has priority over the test signal (TS). The signal diode (D1) is connected between the line (23) with the actuator simulation signal (AS1) and the internal power supply. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process and installation for producing liquid and, optionally, gaseous products from gaseous reactants comprises feeding gaseous reactants into a slurry bed (14) of solid particles suspended in a liquid; allowing the reactants to react as they pass upwardly through the slurry bed (14), thereby to form liquid and, optionally, gaseous products; and separating liquid product from the solid particles by passing, in a filtration zone (22) within the slurry bed (14), liquid product through a filtration medium (32) in a first direction, so that a cake of the solid particles forms on the filtration medium (32). The passage of liquid product through the filtering medium (32) is interrupted. The filtering medium (32) is then backflushed by passing a flushing fluid through the filtering medium (32) in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, for at least portions of the periods that the liquid product passage is interrupted, thereby to dislodge the cake from the filtering medium (32). <IMAGE>
