Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une structure de barre (10) pour cintres servant à économiser de l'espace, qui maintient des cintres (11) et les vêtements qui y sont suspendus dans une position en biais optimale à l'intérieur d'une armoire. On prévoit une barre profilée (10) généralement à section transversale en V, qui est constituée par deux éléments s'étendant vers le haut (15, 16) formant un angle ouvert vers le haut en partant d'un point de base commun (17) et définissant entre-eux un espace libre en V. Les deux éléments s'étendant vers le haut (15, 16) comportent au niveau de leurs bords espacés extérieurs respectifs (15b, 16b) plusieurs encoches correspondantes espacées longitudinalement (18a-c), chacune de ces encoches étant conçues pour recevoir une partie de la surface courbe (19a) d'un crochet de cintre, les crochets de cintres respectifs pouvant ainsi être maintenus en position fixe en deux points éloignés le long de la surface courbe (19a) du crochet. Par conséquent, les crochets de cintres respectifs (11) ne peuvent pas se déplacer ni effectuer de rotation et ils gardent une position en biais correspondant à l'angle des encoches (18a-c), lequel est de préférence égal à 50°. Ainsi, des vêtements peuvent être suspendus dans une armoire peu profonde.

Abstract: With the apparatus (10) described, all kinds of waste, particularly plastic waste, either truly sorted or randomly mixed, for instance plastic wastes from refrigerators to be disposed of, are broken down into their constituent parts and can then be reused. For this purpose microwave energy with a high energy density is admitted by means of magnetrons (28) to the waste (12) in the vacuum chamber (16) wherein a previously introduced gas such as argon is ionized, with the effect that gaseous constituents leave the waste (12) and build up a plasma under the action of the microwave energy, whereby the waste (12) is ultimately totally broken down. The plasma is ignited by the introduction of hydrogen into the vacuum chamber (16) containing the ionized gas. The waste (12) is reduced by the action of the plasma and hydrated by the hydrogen. Gaseous constituents of the waste (12) are removed via discharge lines (24, 26) and a liquid or powdery residue in a waste receptacle (13) is removed together with the same from the vacuum tank (14).

Abstract: A method for the rapid estimation of hyperplastic and hypertrophic changes in animal airways is an assay which specifically measures acidic and neutral mucoproteins in a linear fashion from 0.5 to at least 10  mu g. The assay comprises exposure of a test animal to a suspected metaplastic inducer, removal of the lungs, homogenization in an appropriately buffered solution containing reducing agents and protease inhibitors; removal of particulate matter; and size-fractionation of the SDS treated soluble extract. The high molecular weight material is immobilized and stained for either acidic or neutral mucosubstances and the specific staining is quantitated. The changes observed are consistent with those seen in histological sections of the exposed tissues. The assay is useful in confirming the metaplastic potential of suspected compounds, in determining what neurohumoral mediator(s) are involved in mucus cell metaplasia in animal models for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and in identifying compounds which might ameliorate these effects.

Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting the bottom (12) of a container (14) that includes a light sensor (26) positioned to view the container bottom through the open container mouth (28), a light source (24 or 46) positioned externally of the container on the opposite side of the container bottom, and electronics (34) for detecting commercial variations in the container bottom as a function of light energy incident on the sensor. The light source, as viewed by the sensor through the container bottom, is characterized by being elongated radially of the container bottom and narrow transversely of the container bottom. In this way, any variations (38) in the container bottom that refract the line of sight of the sensor in the radial direction, such as mold code rings and baffle scars, are essentially transparent as viewed by the sensor. On the other hand, variations (40) that refract the sensor line of sight laterally of the container bottom, such as glass particles, knots and lumps, produce a dark image at the sensor since the sensor cannot see the light source through the variation.

Abstract: An interferometer having semiconductor optical amplifiers in one or both arms of the interferometer converts information from a first wavelength to another predetermined wavelength. The original data signal (pump signal at the first wavelength λ 1 ) is coupled into the interferometer via input waveguide (7) in such a way that it is confined to propagate, either co-directionally or contra-directionally, in only one arm (4) of the interferometer together with the lightwave signal (probe signal) at the predetermined wavelength λ 2  which enters the wavelength converter either via input waveguide (1) or via input waveguide (8). This arm (4) includes the semiconductor optical amplifier (12). In this way, the original data signal is utilized effectively to maximize the interference effect, which is required for wavelength conversion, while minimizing the problems associated with simultaneously saturating amplifiers in the interferometer structure.

Abstract: Two noise sensors (4,5) spaced at a known distance (D) apart are deployed on the leaking pipe (A) in the vicinity of the leak (1). The leak emits a signal (S1) and a second source of noise (2) which may be a reducing valve emits a second signal (S2). The temporal electrical signals produced by the two sensors (s1(5), s2(t)) are each the sum of signals arriving from the two noise sources (1,2), and are processed by Fourier analysis to find the distances from one sensor to the first and second noise sources (x1,x2) which minimise an estimator of the function of correlation between the noise signals (S1,S2).
