Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif rotatif à utiliser avec des fluides compressibles, lequel dispositif comporte un premier élément de rotation monté de façon à tourner autour d'un premier axe ainsi qu'une enveloppe présentant une surface entourant au moins une partie du premier élément de rotation. Une cavité allongée de section transversale variable est définie entre une surface du premier élément de rotation et la surface d'enveloppe. Le présent dispositif rotatif comporte également un certain nombre de seconds éléments de rotation montés de façon à tourner autour de seconds axes respectifs. Chaque second élément de rotation est monté de façon à s'étendre à travers la surface d'enveloppe et à coopérer avec la surface du premier élément de rotation pour diviser la cavité en parties fonctionnelles adjacentes. Au moins une des parties fonctionnelles définit un volume fermé pour une partie d'un cycle du dispositif. A mesure que les premiers et seconds éléments de rotation tournent, les volumes des parties fonctionnelles varient. Chaque second élément de rotation comporte un certain nombre de parties saillantes de rayon variable autour du second axe respectif, de sorte que chaque partie saillante s'étend à travers l'enveloppe dans la cavité en proportion variable pour coopérer avec la surface du premier élément de rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat mop cover for a mopping device for mopping surfaces to be cleaned, comprising at least two active layers (2, 3) of preferably different properties forming corresponding cleaning surfaces (2', Y), and attachment means (5) for attaching the flat mop cover (1) to a mop holder (6). The improvement is realized in that at least two of the active layers (2, 3) are hydraulically separated by a liquid-impermeable or otherwise not liquid-transporting, separating section (8, 8'). Preferably two active layers (2, 3) are positioned laterally next to each other and the separating section (8) is a separating strip between the layers. However, likewise in may be that two active layers (2, 3) are posi­tioned on top of each other forming two opposite, alternately usable cleaning surfaces (2', 3'), preferably of about the same size, and the separating section (8) is a liquid-impermeable separating layer between the two active layers (2, 3).

Inventor: KRAUSE THOMAS
IPC: C08G63/664
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: A method for producing a retrievable hairstyling using shape memory polymers is described. Here a composition is applied to the hair, said composition containing a shape memory polymer P or a macromer M that can be cross-linked to a shape memory polymer, the hair is arranged into a given (permanent) shape and said permanent shape is then fixed by means of chemical cross-linking of the macromer M under the formation of a shape memory polymer and/or under physical cross-linking of the polymer P. The polymer P and the macromer M are formed from block copolymers, each of which comprises at least a first block and at least two additional blocks. The first block is a polyol and is selected from polyethers, dimerdiol and derivatives derived therefrom, as well as from polyesters of dicarboxylic acids with diols. The additional blocks are polyesters of hydroxycarboxylic acids or their lactones. The macromer M possesses cross-linkable regions, as well as thermoplastic regions that are not cross-linkable and, after cross-linking, has a transition temperature of T<SUB>trans</SUB>. The polymer P has a hard segment with a first transition temperature T'<SUB>trans</SUB>, which is above room temperature, and a soft segment with a second transition temperature T<SUB>trans </SUB>which is lower than T'<SUB>trans</SUB>.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de détachement d'une couche située sur une plaquette d'un matériau choisi parmi les matériaux semi-conducteurs. La méthode comprend les étapes suivantes : la création d'une zone de fragilisation dans l'épaisseur de la plaquette, cette couche de fragilisation définissant la couche à détacher dans l'épaisseur de la plaquette ; et l'exposition de la plaquette à un traitement afin de provoquer le détachement de la couche au niveau de la zone de fragilisation. La méthode se caractérise en ce que, pendant la création de la zone de fragilisation, on forme une zone localisée de commencement de cette zone, la couche de fragilisation étant plus fragile dans cette zone localisée, de sorte que cette zone de commencement constitue une zone particulièrement fragilisée de la zone de fragilisation.

Abstract: The encoder transforms the audio signals (x(n),y(n)) from the time domain to audio signal (X(k),Y(k)) in the frequency domain, and determines the cross-correlation function (Ri, Pi) in the frequency domain. A complex coherence value (Qi) is calculated by summing the (complex) cross-correlation function values (Ri, Pi) in the frequency domain. The inter-channel phase difference (IPDi) is estimated by the argument of the complex coherence value (Qi), and the inter-channel coherence (ICi) is estimated by the absolute value of the complex coherence value (Qi).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un équipement pour la dissolution de gaz ou de mélange de gaz dans un liquide. Le liquide est introduit dans une chambre (6) via une entrée (2), en liaison avec un mouvement de turbulence créé dans la chambre pour le mélange du gaz et du liquide. Il est possible d'introduire le gaz dans le liquide avant l'introduction du liquide dans la chambre et/ou il est possible d'introduire directement le gaz dans la chambre. On élimine le liquide avec le gaz dissous via une sortie (4). Le gaz est dissous dans le liquide par la rotation de la turbulence autour d'un axe essentiellement horizontal. On peut ainsi assurer une dissolution satisfaisante avec une consommation d'énergie minimum, se prêtant particulièrement bien à l'oxygénation d'eau de mer, par exemple en rapport avec la pisciculture.
