Abstract: A closed chamber (12) is connected to a liquid inlet pipe (13) and contains a bundle of tubes (11) parallel to the axis of the chamber and radially pierced with orifices (15) allowing the liquid in the chamber to escape in droplets which are sprayed by the gas (G2) supplied to the diffuser by a ventilator and circulating at great speed inside the tubes. The diameter of the orifices is between 1 and 5mm and the orifices are arranged in one or more longitudinal lines along the tube. The wall of the tube forms, near the orifice, a hollow in the direction of the axis of the tube, to bring each orifice nearer the centre of the tube. The mass ratio of gas flow to liquid flow in the diffuser is between  gamma  and 1/10. The gas is air and the liquid is aqueous, in particular containing suspended micro-organisms or a chemical reactant dissolved or in suspension. The gas and the liquid are at different temperatures to favor a heat exchange. ALSO CLAIMED is a gas flow treatment device using such a pneumatic diffuser to diffuse droplets into a column with no packing where they contact a gas flow. The gas in this case contains components which are biodegradable using micro- organisms suspended in the liquid.

and an inner tube (3) as well as guiding rings (6a, 6b)
of a thickness which exceeds the difference between the
inner radius of the outer tube (2) and the outer radius

Abstract: Procédé et appareil de polissage de surfaces de diamant, ladite surface étant soumise à une attaque chimique améliorée par plasma reposant sur l'utilisation d'une source de plasma d'oxygène atomique de polissage. Dans ledit appareil, un filtre magnétique laisse passer un plasma d'oxygène atomique éjecté de haute densité et de faible énergie. Ce plasma est capable de polir uniformément des surfaces de diamant. Du fait de la production de plasma d'oxygène atomique (502) de haute densité à filtrage magnétique, la source (100) de plasma d'oxygène atomique de polissage produit une vitesse de réaction rapide entre le plasma d'oxygène atomique (502) et la surface (500) de diamant. La présente invention permet de limiter encore les effets anisotropiques potentiels du polissage de diamant par génération sélective de plasma d'oxygène atomique (502) à faible énergie. La restriction du flux de plasma à des espèces de faible énergie limite le bombardement physique de la surface (500) de diamant par les ions d'oxygène atomiques ou moléculaires, processus qui engendre une attaque directionnelle, et partant non uniforme, de la surface de diamant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fiber-optic current sensor that is provided with a reflection interferometer (1, 10). In its fiber-optic feed line (2), said fiber-optic current sensor comprises a polarization-maintaining first fiber branch (20) for two forward propagating orthogonally polarized waves and a polarization-maintaining second fiber branch (20') for two backward propagating orthogonally polarized waves. Said fiber branches (20, 20') are interlinked via a coupler (8) provided in the sensor. The first fiber branch (20) is linked with a light source (4) and the second fiber branch (20') is linked with the detector (5).

Abstract: Selon l'invention, pour concevoir des spirales de transition destinées à des segments successifs de voie de chemin de fer présentant différents degrés de courbure, on commence par spécifier la manière selon laquelle l'angle d'inclinaison latérale de la voie devrait changer par rapport à la distance le long de la spirale de transition. Des formes fonctionnelles pour l'angle d'inclinaison latérale, qui sont fonction de la distance le long de la spirale (Figs. 1-8), peuvent également être utilisées dans des structures conceptuelles traditionnelles et interprétées dans ce contexte afin de définir la courbure de la voie en fonction de la distance. L'invention comprend également des formes fonctionnelles obtenues par élévation de l'axe longitudinal autour duquel s'opère le changement d'angle d'inclinaison latérale de sorte que l'axe se trouve au-dessus du plan de la voie. Les spirales de transition ainsi obtenues (Figs. 9 et 10) réduisent les accélérations latérales transitoires auxquelles sont soumis les passagers lorsque des véhicule transportant des passagers traversent les spirales. En outre, ces spirales de transition réduisent également les forces latérales transitoires dommageables que les locomotives de fret lourd et les voitures de fret appliquent sur la structure de la voie près des extrémités des spirales.
