Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid line member for a modular fluid line system for passing therethrough a crystallizing, heat-sensitive working fluid, such as a synthetic polymer, a cellulose derivative or a solution consisting of cellulose, water and amine oxide. Such working fluids have a temperature-dependent viscosity and are subject to spontaneous decomposition phenomena under strong exothermic reaction. A temperature control of the working fluid is to be made possible by the fluid line member. This is achieved in that the fluid line member has a circular cross-section with a temperature control device instead of the core flow. According to the invention the temperature of the working fluid can thereby be controlled from the inside.

Abstract: A method for forming a pultruded part includes collating reinforcing fibres by providing a first layer (16) of reinforcing rovings extending in the longitudinal pultrusion direction, applying onto the first layer an intermediate layer (18) of reinforcing fibres at least some of which include at least portions thereof which extend in the transverse direction and covering the intermediate layer with a second layer (17) of rovings extending in the longitudinal direction. To the collated fibres is applied a resin (14) so as to permeate through the layers and the materials are passed through a die to set the resin. The first (16) and second layers (17) are arranged to form first and second opposed surfaces (10E,10F) of the part with the intermediate layer (18) therebetween. The resin is a two part urethane resin which has sufficient strength to prevent the fibres from the first and second layers (16,17) at the first and second surfaces (10E,10F) respectively from breaking through the surface on bending of the wall thus allowing the use of the rovings at the surfaces with the transverse fibres therebetween so that the transverse fibres can be formed from loose or chopped fibre material from rovings rather than more expensive mat.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glycolide production process wherein a depolymerization reaction system comprising a glycolic acid oligomer or a glycolic acid oligomer and a polar organic solvent is heated to depolymerize the glycolic acid oligomer into glycolide, the resulting glycolide or the glycolide and polar organic solvent are distilled out of the depolymerization reaction system, and the glycolide is recovered from distillates obtained by distillation. The glycolic acid oligomer or the glycolic acid oligomer and polar organic solvent are continuously or intermittently charged into the depolymerization reaction system, thereby carrying out depolymerization reactions continuously or repeatedly. During the depolymerization reactions, a compound having an alcoholic hydroxyl group is permitted to exist at a specific quantitative ratio in the depolymerization reaction system. The invention is also concerned with a glycolic acid oligomer for the production of glycolide, which is obtained by condensation of glycolic acid in the presence of the compound having an alcoholic hydroxyl group.

Abstract: A bubble detector utilizes an ultrasonic transducer to sample bubbles as they pass the transducer. The envelope of the return signal is analyzed to determine the volume of each sampled bubble. If the total volume of bubbles sampled within a certain period of time exceeds a desired maximum volume, the bubble detector may initiate a system shut down. A bubble detector can be evaluated or calibrated by introducing bubbles into a conduit, detecting the bubbles introduced into the conduit using visual inspection or a bubble detector of known resolution and comparing the results with the examination of a bubble detector under evaluation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for interleaving data in a wireless transmitter are disclosed, where bits from the input data stream are sent to downstream processing without being stored in memory. According to a first example embodiment, a first radio frame of data from an input code block is sent downstream, and the remaining radio frames from the code block are stored in the memory buffer. The first interleaving pattern can be applied, for example, as data is written to or read from the buffer. The stored radio frames are then read out as needed by the downstream processing. According to a second example embodiment, further savings in memory can be achieved by discarding bits that are not currently needed for processing then recalculating them at a later time. A first radio frame of data from an input code block is sent downstream without being stored in the memory buffer.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire de la mélamine de grande pureté avec des rendements élevés, par pyrolyse d'urée à une température comprise entre 360 et 420 °C et à une pression supérieure à 7 MPa, les produits de réaction, qui comprennent une phase gazeuse et une phase liquide, étant soumis à des traitements successifs pour permettre la purification et la récupération de la mélamine. Ce procédé se caractérise en ce que la phase liquide provenant du réacteur de pyrolyse contenant la mélamine, l'urée non soumise à réaction, les produits oxydés intermédiaires de la pyrolyse et les produits de la condensation par extraction d'ammoniac de la mélamine (polymères de condensation), est envoyée vers un réacteur aval (post-réacteur) fonctionnant dans des conditions de température et de pression sensiblement identiques à celle du réacteur de pyrolyse; en ce que les phases gazeuses anhydres provenant du réacteur de pyrolyse et du post-réacteur sont soumises au lavage au moyen d'urée fondue pour récupérer la mélamine contenue dans lesdites phases gazeuses sous la forme de vapeur, avant d'être renvoyées vers l'unité de synthèse de l'urée pour permettre la récupération du NH3 et du CO2 contenus; en ce que le liquide purifié provenant du post-réacteur est traité dans une colonne de refroidissement à une température comprise entre 160 et 170 °C en présence de 10 % en poids minimum de NH3 afin d'éliminer les polymères de condensation; en ce que la sortie de la colonne de refroidissement est refroidie et qu'une mélamine de grande pureté est séparée par cristallisation d'une liqueur mère qui est directement recyclée à hauteur de 80 % minimum vers la colonne de refroidissement, ce qui permet la récupération à bas prix de l'ammoniac et de la mélamine. La liqueur mère qui n'est pas directement recyclée est traitée pour permettre la séparation des produits oxydés intermédiaires de la pyrolyse, puis elle est renvoyée vers la colonne de refroidissement de manière à permettre la récupération complète de la mélamine produite dans le système de réaction.
