Date Jun. 9, 1994The invention relates to a method for applying a cermet electrode layer to a sintered electrolyte. This layer consists of a mixture of an ion-conducting oxide and a semiprecious metal oxide or precious metal oxide. According to the invention, the ion-conducting oxide is calcined without the presence of the (semi)precious metal oxide in order to provide for lateral electron conductivity, while the sintering of the mixture of the electrolyte takes place at as low a temperature as possible.

Abstract: Substantially waterless self-emulsifiable biodegradable chemical softening compositions are provided comprising a mixture of an ester-functional quaternary ammonium compound and a polyhydroxy compound. Preferred biodegradable ester-functional quaternary ammonium compounds include diesterdialkyl dimethyl ammonium salts such as diester ditallow dimethyl ammonium chloride, diester di(touch hydrogenated)tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride and diester di(hydrogenated)tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride. Preferred polyhydroxy compounds are selected from the group consisting of glycerol, polyglycerols having a weight average molecular weight from about 150 to about 800 and polyoxyethylene glycols and polyoxypropylene glycols having a weight average molecular weight from about 200 to about 4000. The substantially waterless self-emulsifiable biodegradable chemical softening compositions are prepared by mixing the ester-functional quaternary ammonium compound with the polyhydroxy compound at a specific temperature range wherein the polyhydroxy compound is miscible with the ester-functional quaternary ammonium compound. The resulting stable solid or concentrated fluid mixture can then be economically shipped to the consumer or ultimate user. The ultimate users of the chemical softening composition simply dilute the mixture with a liquid carrier (e.g., water) to form an aqueous dispersion suitable for treating fibrous cellulosic material. The substantially waterless self-emulsifiable biodegradable chemical softening compositions disclosed herein are primarily intended for softening disposable paper products such as tissues and towels.

Abstract: A transmission system for the transmission of data cells between local stations and a central station. Cell arrivals are registered in a local register (CAR). Those registrations are periodically transmitted to the central station. The central station thereafter transmits the permit codes to the various local stations, in order to transmit the data cells which are most ready. In each local station the data cell which is most ready for transmission is transferred from a cell arrival buffer (CAB) to a cell departure buffer (CDB) as long as the permit code expected for said station, on the basis of the number of time slots since the cell arrival, remains forthcoming. The data cell remains in said buffer as long as no permit code addressed to said station is received. The data cell is transmitted as yet after the reception of a permit code addressed to said station. The data cell is discarded, however, as soon as an empty (unaddressed) permit code is received while the data cell still resides in the buffer. All this has the effect that transmission errors do not permanently frustrate the system. <IMAGE>

A speed value, at which the pressure increase of the second clutch begins, is assigned to the synchronizer speed from a characteristic curve. The characteristic curve is adapted if the transmission input speed exceeds the synchronizer speed or if the gradient of the transmission input speed exceeds a limit value.

Abstract: L'invention a pour objet une spirale d'embolisation (10) de forme conico-hélicoïdale, destinée à obturer un vaisseau sanguin, un anévrisme, etc. La spirale d'embolisation est constituée d'un toron métallique (11) en alliage platine-tungstène, enroulé en une spirale d'extension longitudinale (12) comprenant plusieurs spires (13) très faiblement espacées. Cette spirale s'étendant longitudinalement est un enroulement conico-hélicoïdal (15) à plusieurs spires (16) radialement extensibles, dont l'espacement est croissant de l'extrémité distale (29) vers l'extrémité proximale de la spirale. La spire distale (17) parmi les spires radialement extensibles a un faible diamètre (18), inférieur au diamètre minimum (34) d'un vaisseau (32) à l'intérieur duquel le dispositif d'embolisation doit être placé. La spire proximale (19) non comprimée parmi les spires radialement extensibles a un grand diamètre (20), supérieur au diamètre maximum (33) du vaisseau dans lequel la spirale doit être positionnée. La spirale de forme conico-hélicoïdale et son diamètre particulier garantissent un bon positionnement de la spirale dans le calibre intérieur du vaisseau, sans déplacement longitudinal du cathéter. La spirale subit une relaxation des tensions, et surtout est traitée thermiquement, le toron métallique continu étant porté à une température de relaxation, puis refroidi pour relaxer les tensions résiduelles créées pendant l'enroulement de la spirale, et pour minimiser la formation de nouvelles tensions résiduelles pendant la phase de refroidissement du traitement thermique. Des fibres thrombogènes (26) sont positionnées dans les spires très rapprochées de la spirale pour attirer le thrombus et constituer une masse obturant le calibre intérieur du vaisseau.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object is formed by selectively depositing successive layers (14) of build material from a print-head (9) having a plurality of orifices or nozzles (10(1)-10(96)), such as an ink-jet type of print-head. The print-head (9) is moved (X-Y control) relative to a support platform (15) in a series of scans in the X-direction offset from one another in the Y-direction and possibly overlapping. The orifices (10(1)-10(96)) extend transversely of the scan X-direction and may be set at an angle (α) to it to control the resolution perpendicular to the scan direction. The platform (15) is movable relative to the print-head in the Z-direction for forming each successive layer (14). The build material is a flowable material and may be a radiation-curable material, such as an ultra-violet curable photo-polymer. The data according to which each layer is formed may be manipulated according to a selected build style to determine the selective activation of the print-head orifices.
