Patent EP-0924997-B1 (EP)
Inventor: MATTEAU ROBERT
IPC: A24D1/00

Abstract: A non-smokable tobacco product comprises a rod-shaped element of cigarette tobacco with a filter element at one end and both enclosed by a tubular wrapper. The product is rendered unsmokable by a perforation extending through the wrapper of the tobacco or the filter element so that when air is drawn through the filter substantially all of the air enters through those perforations, there being insufficient air flow through the tip end to propagate normal cigarette combustion of the tobacco at that location or to permit any appreciable amount of smoke reaching the smoker's mouth. The product is rendered smokable by the user covering the perforated region of the wrapper by means of a strip, a sliding band, or a ring which blocks air flow through the perforations and thus converts the product into a self-made cigarette that can be smoked in the manner of a regular cigarette.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé servant à limiter au maximum la corrosion provoquée par l'halogénure d'hydrogène dans un gazéificateur à extinction pendant la réaction d'oxydation partielle non catalytique d'une charge hydrocarbonée contenant halogène, de manière à produire un gaz de synthèse contenant de l'halogénure d'hydrogène, des particules solides finement divisées et des scories non toxiques. Ce gaz de synthèse est mis en contact avec de l'eau dans la zone d'extinction (14) du gazéificateur (10). L'eau d'extinction contient un agent neutralisant, en quantité supérieure à celle qui est nécessaire pour neutraliser les acides d'halogénure d'hydrogène présents dans le gaz, de manière à obtenir des sels halogénure. L'eau exempte de sels ne présente pas de danger pour l'environnement et peut être soit recyclée vers le processus, soit rejetée de façon conforme aux règlements concernant l'environnement.

Abstract: The chronological sorting system has a time identification associated with each process signal (PS) for identifying its measurement time point, used for storing the process signals in chronological order. A process signal group (Pn) is selected from a process signal data stream and the process signals within the group are sorted to place them in the correct chronological order using the time identifications. The sorting is effected in stages with signals having the largest time resolution sorted first and those with the smallest time resolution sorted last.

Abstract: The present closure and container combination comprises a child resistant squeeze and turn closure having a tamper indicating band which is removed from the closure after the first removal of the closure from the container. The closure has dual squeeze pads located opposite one another on the outer wall of the closure. Formed at 90 degrees from the squeeze pads are two child resistant lugs which extend inwardly from the closure lower skirt wall. The child resistant lugs extend downwardly below the lowermost edge of the annular skirt of the closure. Frangible webs are positioned at 45 degrees from the external tabs and the squeeze pads and retain the tamper indicating band onto the closure side wall. A first and a second child resistant container lug contacts the closure lugs and are placed on the neck of the container above the tamper indicating bead. The child resistant feature of the closure needs to be overcome before the tamper indicating band is fractured from the closure. After removal of the tamper indicating band, the child resistant lugs extend below the closure side wall to provide a visual cue as to the child protective feature of the closure.

Abstract: A frequency modulation (FM) radio transmitter, such as a cellular telephone, includes an automatic deviation control system to automatically compensate for varying sensitivity of the FM transmitter. The FM transmitter includes a phase lock loop including a controlled oscillator that produces a frequency modulated input signal on an output channel frequency in response to a control input that is applied thereto. A scaler is responsive to the input signal and to at least one scaling content, to scale the input signal based upon the at least one scaling constant and to provide the scaled input signal to the phase lock loop to produce the frequency modulated input signal on the channel frequency. An automatic deviation control system measures the control signal that is applied to the controlled oscillator when tuned to one of the plurality of output channel frequencies and updates at least one of the scaling constants based upon the measured control input, to thereby provide automatic deviation control.

Abstract: The method uses a vehicle 1, having a sender pulse generating device 2 fitted to its gearbox 3, at the start of a track 4 of known length. The track 4 has a starting marker 5 and a finishing marker 6, e.g. V-blocks at spaced intervals on the track 4, activated by an antenna mounted on the vehicle 1. A signal processing means 7 counts the integral number of pulses and determines the fractions of a pulse length at the starting and finishing markers 5,6. A microprocessor controls the signal processing combining time intervals, which represent fractions of a pulse length at the starting and finishing markers, with the integral number of pulses effectively to add both fractions to the pulse count and thus accurately determine how many pulses and what fraction of a pulse is generated when the vehicle travels, over the track 4, between the starting and finishing markers 5,6.

Abstract: In a ship-borne waste water treatment system the effluent is released into a biological reactor system having a suspended high concentration of biomass. Following treatment, waste water flows over a membrane separating wastes into permeate and retentate. The permeate is re-used either for drinking or for general purposes, or is partly returned to the reactor system. The retentate is partially returned to the reactor system. The reactor operates using the high cell density fermentation process of 30g biomass/l. Waste water released to the biological system is first pre-filtered. Waste water is oxygenated within the reactor by air or oxygen pressurized to between 1 and 1.2 bar. Water is released to the membrane at a controlled temperature and at an enhanced pressure. Permeate is returned to the reactor when the level of waste water (original waste water and retentate) in the reaction system has reached a pre-defined lower threshold. It is released when the waste water level (original waste water and retentate) has reached an upper pre-defined level in the reactor system. Also claimed is a suitable waste water treatment assembly.
