Abstract: Cleaning of a textile machine (10) or part (18, 24, 40) of such a machine (10) is effected using
a cleaning device (22) which directs a laser beam at the part (18, 24, 40) to be cleaned for an
appropriate length of time. This may be done with the part (18, 24, 40) in situ in its normal
operating position in the machine (10), and the machine (10) may be run in its normal
operating condition, possibly with the yarn (23) running to avoid machine down time.
Alternatively, the operation may include moving the yarn (23) to a substitute part (24') whilst
the original part (24) is cleaned, or moving a substitute part (24') into the normal operating
position whilst the part (24) to be cleaned is moved to a cleaning position. A lens system (27b)
may direct a parallel beam to the part (18, 24) to be cleaned from a remote location, or a fibre
optic cable (45) may extend near to that part (40) to guide the laser beam to it.

Abstract: A device and method for measuring changes in denier, percent finish-on-yarn,
interlacing of polymer fiber, and other fiber properties, in real time as the fiber is being
manufactured. The device uses an electrode driven at a discrete voltage to induce a current which
changes in amplitude and/or phase in response to changes in denier, finish-on-yarn and/or
interlacing of a fiber. A sensing system samples the current and detects changes in the amplitude
and/or phase. A computer, running an application program, quantifies the change and determines
the applicable property.

Abstract: On réalise une arylation catalysée par le palladium d'une oléfine avec un aryl-halogénure et/ou un aryl-halogénure substitué, dans un solvant organique polaire liquide, et (ii) avec une amine secondaire ou tertiaire qui bout (1) en-dessous de la température d'ébullition du solvant si on n'utilise qu'un seul solvant ou (2) au-dessous de la température d'ébullition d'au moins un solvant, mais pas nécessairement de tous les solvants, si on utilise plus d'un solvant. On mélange avec le mélange réactionnel ainsi formé (qui comprend le composé aromatique oléfiniquement substitué, l'amine-hydrohalogénure et le solvant) une solution aqueuse concentrée d'une base inorganique ayant une force supérieure à celle de l'amine. Ceci convertit l'amine-hydrohalogénure en une amine libre et un halogénure de métal alcalin, et forme (i) une phase aqueuse contenant l'halogénure de métal alcalin dissout et (ii) une phase organique contenant le composé aromatique oléfiniquement substitué, l'amine et le solvant. Après séparation de ces phases, on élimine par distillation l'amine de la phase organique à une température basse et dans des conditions de pression qui empêchent l'oligomérisation thermique du composé aromatique oléfiniquement substitué contenu dans la phase organique. On soumet cette dernière, lorsqu'elle est sensiblement dépourvue d'amines, à une carboxylation catalysée par le palladium avec de l'oxyde de carbone et/ou de l'alcool. La densité relativement élevée de la phase aqueuse facilite grandement la séparation des phases, et permet une récupération de l'amine et un recyclage du solvant efficients.

Abstract: The present invention provides an applicator for applying and distributing a substance onto a target surface. The applicator comprises a substantially planar sheet of compressible, conformable material having opposed first and second surfaces and an interior region between said first and second surfaces. The sheet of material has a thickness between the first and second surfaces which decreases when the sheet of material is subjected to an externally-applied force in a direction substantially normal to the first surface. The applicator further includes at least one discrete reservoir extending inwardly of the first surface into the interior of the sheet of material which is at least partially filled with a substance and at least one discrete aperture formed in the first surface which is in fluid communication with the reservoir. Compression of the sheet of material via an externally-applied force substantially normal to said first surface expresses product from the aperture and translational motion of the first surface relative to a target surface applies and distributes said product onto the target surface. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of apertures are associated with corresponding reservoirs forming a delivery zone near one end of a hand-held applicator, and the sheet material is preferably resilient both in compression and in bending to conform to irregular target surfaces. A wide variety of substances are contemplated, including particularly antiperspirant/deodorant products. Other embodiments include a single reservoir feeding a plurality of apertures.
