Patent FR-2717576-A1 (FR)
Title: Measurement of stress in reinforced concrete beams
Inventor: PIERRE FAURE
IPC: G01L5/00
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: The concrete beam is longitudinally prestressed, by cables (13) and under vertical flexing loading. A neutral flexing axis is determined, not stressed in traction or compression, along a transverse section (2). A hole (3) is bored through this beam section, producing some elastic deformation locally, which is measured before and after. Two half cylindrical shells are inserted, to fill the boring. These shells are separated by a hydraulic jack, when operated, producing a movement parallel to the prestressing. Initially, hydraulic pressure is applied to cancel the boring deformation. Then the mean residual stress through the neutral flexing axis is determined, by measuring the applied hydraulic pressure. Measurements may be made by extensometers (6,7), between reference points (l1,l2,l3,l4).

Patent FR-2726556-A1 (FR)
Inventor: DENIS PHILIPPE
IPC: C07C51/12
Filed: 1994-11-04
Abstract: A method for preparing carboxylic acids by carbonylating a reagent, particularly an alcohol, in the presence of an iridium catalyst. According to the method, the liquid phase reaction is carried out in a first zone in the presence of an iridium catalyst, and the resulting reaction mixture is partially vaporised in a second zone. The vaporised fraction containing the carboxylic acid is later purified and the unvaporised liquid fraction containing the catalyst is recirculated to the first zone. The method is characterised in that said unvaporised fraction is contacted with carbon monoxide in such a way that this compound is not returned to the second zone.

IPC: E05C9/02
Filed: 1994-12-02
Abstract: The door bolt comprises a handle control mechanism having a toothed wheel (10) acting on one or more locking parts, such as a half round bolt. The toothed wheel has a mechanism (18) which returns it to its initial rest position comprising a rack (19) and pinion (20) and a spring (21). The rack teeth (26), beyond an initial displacement phase, gear down the rack movement relative to rotation of the toothed wheel in one direction.
