Abstract: Un débitmètre massique à effet de Coriolis présente un rotor extérieur (307) positionné à l'intérieur d'un logement (301), et un évidement coaxial (341) par rapport à un axe central de rotation. Un rotor à effet de Coriolis (314) est positionné dans l'évidement du rotor extérieur et présente un centre de rotation coaxial par rapport à l'axe central de rotation. Le rotor à effet de Coriolis présente une pluralité d'orifices (312) s'étendant chacun à partir de la périphérie extérieure dudit rotor à effet de Coriolis vers un évidement central de ce dernier. Le rotor extérieur présente une pluralité d'orifices (309) s'étendant chacun depuis la périphérie extérieure du rotor extérieur jusqu'à l'évidement du rotor extérieur, au moins certains desdits trous se trouvant dans ledit rotor extérieur étant alignés avec un trou correspondant de ladite pluralité de trous se trouvant dans ledit rotor à effet de Coriolis. Une admission (302) de matière fait passer un fluide à travers les orifices à la fois du rotor extérieur et du rotor à effet de Coriolis, jusqu'à une sortie (304) de matière du débitmètre. Les deux rotors tournent autour de l'axe central de rotation lorsque la matière est reçue et passe à travers les orifices des rotors. Des forces de Coriolis générées par la matière s'écoulant à travers les orifices des rotors et la rotation à contre-courant des deux rotors engendrent un décalage angulaire du rotor à effet de Coriolis par rapport au rotor extérieur, autour de l'axe central de rotation. Des bobines de détection (323, 324), ainsi que des aimants (316, 344) génèrent des signaux de sortie indiquant le degré de décalage angulaire du rotor à effet de Coriolis ainsi que le débit massique de la matière s'écoulant.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel cells-based generator system that prevents a catalyst in fuel cells from being poisoned and a potential on oxygen electrodes of the fuel cells from lowering, while improving the energy efficiency. While I 2  is fed from a halogen tank 41 to a preliminary reaction tank 30 via a first conduit 33, H 2 O is fed from a water tank 43 to the preliminary reaction tank 30 via a second conduit 34. The preliminary reaction tank 30 is heated by the heat transmitted from a stack of fuel cells FC, and the reaction expressed as            H       2           O + I       2            → 2HI + (1/2)O       2             occurs in the preliminary reaction tank 30. HI produced by the above reaction is dissolved in excess H 2 O and fed into a reaction tank 50 via a fourth conduit 36. The reaction tank 50 is heated by the heat transmitted from the stack of fuel cells FC, and the reaction expressed as            2HI → H       2            + I       2             occurs in the reaction tank 50. The gaseous mixture of H 2  and I 2  is flown into a hydrogen purifier 60 via a sixth conduit 54. The hydrogen purifier 60 separates gaseous hydrogen H 2  from the gaseous mixture. The gaseous hydrogen H 2  is then fed into flows paths of gaseous hydrogen in the stack of fuel cells FC.

Abstract: An analysis system evaluates test pieces (T), determining whether a sufficient quantity of test fluid has been supplied evenly to the delivery zone (A). It comprises a pair of light sources (L1, L2), which illuminate separate or only partially-overlapping regions (B1, B2) of the delivery, or evaluation zone of the test piece. A controller activates the sources separately. A sensor (D) receiving light reflected from or transmitted by the zone produces an output corresponding to the light intensity received. The evaluation unit (E) measures light intensities resulting from individual illumination by first and second sources in succession. Measurements are evaluated, comparing the results from the regions. The system determines whether the difference between them is sufficiently small.   The difference or relative difference is compared with a set threshold. Above the threshold an warning is given, below it, the result is given. Diffuse reflected radiation is detected. The illuminated regions of the delivery or evaluation zone are the same size. Two light sources are placed in a common plane parallel to the evaluation zone. The light sources correspond in their spectral intensity distribution and their cone of illumination. The optical paths for each source of illumination, the evaluation zone and the sensor are geometrically identical. The delivery zone is covered by a net with square or rectangular mesh. The line connecting middle points of the illuminated regions makes an angle of 45 degrees with the net threads.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and means for enhancing the
epidermal, transdermal and dermal permeation of a topically applied
pharmacologically active agent (e.g., a drug or medicament) which has a low rate
of skin penetration in the absence of a permeation enhancer and which is unstable
and degrades during long-term storage with particular permeation enhancers. Also
provided by the invention are methods and means to increase the skin penetration
of a pharmacologically active agent which has a normally low rate of skin
permeation and causes the instability and degradation of a permeation enhancer
with which it is combined over a long period of time. Provided by the invention
are at least one first composition containing a drug, a pharmaceutically acceptable
salt, chemical derivative or formulation thereof, in a dermatologically acceptable
vehicle, and at least one second composition containing a permeation enhancer in
an acceptable vehicle. The compositions are physically separated until application
to a body or skin surface and are topically applied, either at the same time, or
sequentially within a short time of each other, and mixed or blended to form a final
active composition, preferably on the skin. In addition, a premixture of the
compositions can be made and applied to the skin in accordance with the invention.
The invention allows a therapeutically effective amount of drug to be delivered into
the skin and systemic circulation and provides significant enhancement of a drug's
otherwise low level of skin permeation by the action of permeation enhancer in the
active composition at the point of use.

Abstract: A method for producing hosiery items or tubular
knitted items having a closed end with a circular hosiery
knitting machine provided, proximate to the needle work
area, with a transfer element which faces one half of the
needle cylinder and is provided with thread takeup elements
(1) which can be actuated radially to the needle cylinder
and are suitable to engage the thread or threads fed by at
least one feed of the machine, in the region between two
contiguous needles. The transfer element is able to turn
over about a diametrical axis (7) of the needle cylinder.
The method consists in performing a first step, during
which the needle cylinder is actuated with n oscillations
about its own axis (5) with an oscillation angle of
substantially 180 o , in order to cause the passage, in front
of a thread feed of the machine, of a first half (3a) of
the needle cylinder which is faced by the transfer element.
During this first step, the corresponding thread takeup
elements (1) that are arranged in a sector that is less
than 180 o  wide are extracted from the transfer element and
1/n of the needles (2a) of the first half (3a) of the
needle cylinder are lifted into the active position at each
oscillation and are then lowered after taking up the thread 
or threads, which rests or rest on the takeup elements (1)
extracted from the transfer element. A second step is then
performed during which the previously extracted takeup
elements are retracted into the transfer element so as to
retain the thread that is rested on them. Then a third
step, during which heel knitting is performed with the
needles of the first half (2a) of the needle cylinder (3a),
and a fourth step, during which the transfer element is
turned over about the diametrical axis (7) and made to face
the second half (3b) of the needle cylinder, are performed.
During a fifth step, the thread or threads retained by the
takeup elements (1) and the knitted loops are transferred
from the needles (2a) of the first half (3a) of the needle
cylinder that are arranged laterally to the sector of the
transfer element to the needles (2b) of the second half
(3b) of the needle cylinder. Finally, the machine is
actuated so as to complete the item as a continuation of
the previous processes.

of the gaps into a second magnetic pole of the magnet. The two
yokes are mechanically connected rigidly to each other, and a
spring means elastically holds the one of the gaps between the
first magnetic pole and the entrance sides of the yokes. One of
the magnet and the yokes is adapted to be connected to a vibratable
member. When the gaps are differentially varied in length by
vibration of the vibratable member, the divided magnetic fluxes
are changed to generate eddy currents in the yokes and the magnetic
poles.
