Patent EP-0976477-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MEDOVAR BORIS I
IPC: B22D19/08
Filed: 1998-01-19
Abstract: The disclosed process consists in filling the gap between a billet and the wall of a sectional
mould with a molten slag in at least two stages. When the first portion is poured in, the
gaps between the sections of the mould are filled. Once the slag in the gaps is solidified completely,
voltage is supplied and the second and next portions of the slag are added. The creation
of an electromagnetic field inside the mould takes place following the starting of the
cladding process. The liquid metal is then added for the cladding process, which is carried out
by means of the stable rotation of the slag and metal. The process can be carried out with
varying levels of slag inside the current-carrying part of the mould. The billet can be preheated
at the short-circuiting conditions prior to the cladding process.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une poudre (ou un comprimé) enzymatique stocké(e) dans un compartiment contenu dans la fermeture d'un flacon. La poudre renferme des enzymes de catégories enzymatiques de lipases, peptidases, kératinases. Le flacon contient la solution tampon dans laquelle seront mélangées les enzymes. On presse la partie supérieure de la fermeture pour briser son côté inférieur, la poudre (ou comprimé) tombe dans la solution tampon contenue dans le flacon. On obtient ainsi un produit cosmétique enzymatique juste avant son application. On peut éliminer des résidus de graisse et protéiniques (cellules mortes) et des molécules kératiniques en sélectionnant ces catégories enzymatiques et leurs applications et ce afin d'assurer un nettoyage enzymatique de la peau en profondeur. On peut, en outre, ouvrir des glandes sébacées bloquées à l'aide de ces mélanges enzymatiques en dissolvant le sébum, les cellules mortes et les kératines qui les obstruent. Ainsi, l'acné diminue sensiblement et les glandes sébacées retrouvent leur fonction normale. Notre produit s'est avéré très performant dans le traitement de l'acné, étant donné qu'il peut aussi être combiné avec une thérapie antibiotique administrée par des dermatologues.

Title: Power device for illuminated light box
Inventor: BEDOUET BERNARD
IPC: H05B41/285
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: The invention concerns powering devices for illuminated light boxes (102) for backlighting liquid crystal display screens, which consist in using a regulating boost DC/DC converter (204), directly powered by the 28 volt system for directly delivering the stabilised 50 volt direct current required for powering the illuminated light box. Said converter comprises an output diode (208) protecting the device. The power reserve is obtained by a capacitor (209) directly powered by the 50 volt current. A second converter (111) with galvanic insulation enables to obtain the power voltage allowance for powering the display screen lighted by the illuminated light box. The connection between these electronic control cards and the screen is produced by a galvanic insulation device (210). The invention enables to increase the powering device performance while reducing its weight, volume and price.
