Patent EP-0553699-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HEITMANN UWE
IPC: A24C5/34
Filed: 1993-01-20
Abstract: The object of the invention is to test the ends of cigarettes, especially to detect cigarette ends which have been insufficiently filled with tobacco. A corresponding testing arrangement has a conveyor for conveying the cigarettes past a first testing station (B) to test the quantities of tobacco in the cigarette ends. The object is achieved according to the invention in that at least one further testing station (C) is provided for detecting the quantities of tobacco in the ends of the cigarettes conveyed on the conveyor. The invention makes cigarette end detection much more sensitive; in particular, fewer satisfactory cigarette ends, i.e. ones adequately filled with tobacco, are detected and separated out as defective, i.e. ones which have been insufficiently filled with tobacco. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A controller (20) operates with a cellular communication system that transmits primary communications. The controller (20) recovers a portion of the spectrum assigned to the primary communications for reuse in transmitting secondary communications. The primary communications' cells (24) move in a predictable manner relative to a site (22) at which the controller (20) is located. The controller monitors (52-56) primary communications to determine the current active cell. The identities of past active cells are saved (68) so that a historical sequence of active cells (66) is available. A map (72) defining the relative orientation of cells (24) is used with the historical sequence information (66) to predict (78) tracks (80, 82) through newly entered active cells. Based on this prediction (78), a recoverable cell is selected (92, 96, 102). Communication link parameters (116) of the recoverable cell are used for secondary communications. The identity of the recoverable cell changes in response to changes in the identity of the active cell.

Date Dec. 9, 1993The invention is concerned with a method of butt-welding two plastic parts each equipped with an identifying code, using an automatically controlled electro-welding machine. A device for performing a welding program is associated with said machine, said program being implemented as a function of the data contained within the identification codes. The data are defined on the basis of a welding law or standard to be applied as a function of various values for parameters relating at least to the thickness and diameter (or cross section) of the part considered at its abutment end, to the temperatures, lengths of time and welding pressure to be employed, the type of material constituting the part and the index or range of indices of fluidity of said material therefore defining the dynamic viscosity so that it would be possible to butt-weld tube parts if the codes of the parts are recognized as being compatible per se. In addition, it is necessary to be able to prohibit welding if the codes are recognized as being incompatible. Application to the welding of polyethylene tubes in particular.

Abstract: L'invention concerne les composants tels que les senseurs pyroélectriques qui sont particulièrement sensibles aux effets piézoélectriques et qui par conséquent sont perturbés par les déformations mécaniques ou les vibrations que peut subir le composant. Pour limiter ces perturbations on propose d'intercaler, entre la puce (10) portant la couche pyroélectrique et le fond du boîtier (30), une feuille souple (42) de silicone qui absorbe sans les transmettre à la puce les déformations du boîtier. Et on prévoit des moyens pour qu'une soudure de fils de connexion (34) par ultrasons soit encore possible malgré la présence de la feuille souple. La puce est de préférence fixée sur une plaquette de céramique métallisée (40), et on prévoit de préférence que des butées (44) sont ménagées au fond du boîtier pour limiter la compression de la feuille souple (42) lors de l'opération de soudure.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, on obtient des mélanges améliorés à base d'un polymère de carbonate résistants à l'allumage, qui se caractérisent par une amélioration surprenante de leurs propriétés combinées, telles que la rigidité, la résistance à l'allumage, l'aptitude aux traitements et la stabilité. Un tel mélange comprend en particulier une grande quantité d'un polymère de carbonate, une petite quantité d'un copolymère aromatique de monovinylidène modifié par caoutchouc et éventuellement un modificateur de chocs à base d'un copolymère greffé à noyau/coquille en caoutchouc. Comme additifs de résistance à l'allumage, ces mélanges contiennent un sel métallique d'un composé de soufre aromatique, un composé de soufre aromatique de tamponnage, un composé organophosphoreux et un polymère de tétrafluoroéthylène. Le composé organophosphoreux préféré est un triphénylphosphate. On a découvert que le N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-p-toluène sulfimide de potassium (KPTSM) est un sel métallique de composé de soufre aromatique préféré. Le composé de soufre aromatique de tamponnage est de préférence un sulfimide aromatique (de forme acide) libre, un tel composé ayant de préférence un pKa compris entre 1 et 3. Le N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-p-toluène sulfimide (HPTSM) peut par exemple être avantageusement utilisé comme composé de soufre aromatique de tamponnage en combinaison avec l'utilisation de KPTSM comme sel métallique de composé de soufre aromatique.

Abstract: The present invention provides crystals of L-phenylalanine monomethyl sulfate which have low solubility compared to L-tyrosine and D-phenylalanine. The L-phenylalanine monomethylsulfate crystals are obtained by subjecting a solution containing monomethyl sulfuric acid and phenylalanine to crystallization. 
     Further, the present invention also provides a process for recovering L-phenylalanine from a water layer by neutralizing the esterified reaction, extracting an ester of L-phenylalanine therefrom with an organic solvent, and recovering remaining L-phenylalanine in the water layer as L-phenylalanine monomethylsulfate. L-phenylalanine monomethyl sulfate is obtained by esterifying L-phenylalanine and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid, neutralizing the esterified solution with a base in the presence of water, extracting the produced L-phenylalanine methyl ester from the neutralized solution with an organic solvent, and then crystallized the resultant water layer under acidic condition.

Abstract: To quickly set the focus optics to an optimum condition on a repeated basis and to monitor the focus condition on a continuous basis an apperatus and method for monitoring the focus condition of a writing light beam comprises a laser (2) to form a slightly divergent writing light beam, whereby the writing beam is passed along an optical path to impinge, in focused condition, incident upon a writing surface (48) of a recording medium (50). The light beam reflected from said medium is directed in a reverse direction back through the optical path emerging from a diverging lens (34) in a slightly convergent condition. Then, this slightly convergent reflected beam is diverted downstream with respect to said diverging lens and impinges a light sensitive transducer (60) which produces an output signal varying in correspondence with the focus condition of said writing beam at the surface of the recording medium.
