Patent EP-1006712-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ALLEN ROY D
IPC: B41F33/00
Filed: 1999-12-06
Abstract: A visual sensor (110) has a first portion (115) and a second
portion (120). The sensor is able to detect the state of one or more
imaging parameters such as exposure beam intensity, exposure beam
pulse width modulation, exposure beam focus, image balance, spot
ellipticity, sidelobe size, shape, and intensity, media gamma, edge
sharpness, dot gain, uniformity, ink receptivity, physical changes
in the media, pattern dependent effects such as dot gain or tone
resolution compared to the type of halftone used, and sensitivity to
calibrated position or exposure errors. The first image portion
(115) has a first imaging characteristic, and the second image
portion (120) has a second imaging characteristic. Imaging
characteristics are characteristics of an image, including, but not
limited to apparent density level, tint, colour, reflectivity,
absorption, granularity or microstructure, size, shape,
distribution, degree of randomness, structure, edge sharpness, and
depth or dimension. One of the portions is less sensitive to one or
more imaging parameters than the other portion so that the first
image portion (115) and the second image portion (120) appear
substantially similar at a desired range of imaging parameters, and
appear different otherwise. The imaging characteristic of the first
portion (115) is distinguishable from the imaging characteristic of
the second (120) for one or more ranges of one or more imaging
parameters, and is not distinguishable for the alternate range(s) of
the one or more imaging parameters. A range can be a particular
imaging parameter value, or a range that excludes one or more
imaging parameter values.

Abstract: An imaging member is composed of a hydrophilic imaging layer
having a hydrophilic heat-sensitive polymer containing heat-activatable thiosulfate
groups, and optionally a photothermal conversion material. Upon application of
energy that generates heat, such as from IR irradiation, the polymer is crosslinked
and rendered more hydrophobic. The exposed imaging member can be contacted
with a lithographic printing ink and a fountain solution and used for printing with
or without post-imaging wet processing. This imaging member is particularly
useful for direct write imaging using IR lasers or thermal printing heads.

Abstract: Difluoromethane, i.e. refrigerant F32, continuously contacts molecular sieve type 3A, 4A or 5A at 5-78 degrees C, preferably at ambient temperature, under a pressure 0.6-25 atm., preferably 0.8-17 atm.. Preferred Features: Moist F32 is gaseous, at pressure 0.6-10 atm., preferably 0.8-5 atm.. The water content is less than 10,000 ppm, preferably less than 6,000 ppm. A column downstream of the F32 manufacturing plant is used for drying; it contains type 3A molecular sieve. Regeneration is by heating the molecular sieve to 120 degrees C-300 degrees C, preferably 150 degrees C-250 degrees C at absolute pressure less than 100 mm Hg, preferably less than 80 mm Hg. An inert gas is passed through, close to atmospheric pressure. A two-stage process operates. In the first stage, temperature is sufficiently high to eliminate a substantial proportion of the F32 from the molecular sieve. In the second stage, the temperature is raised, removing a substantial proportion of the water adsorbed. Temperature ranges are detailed for two variants of this operation, which follow the foregoing principles. Regeneration takes place in the adsorption column. Two columns in parallel, alternate between adsorption and regeneration.

Abstract: A towel dispenser for a continuous band (40) includes a cabinet containing a
frame (30) formed by two parallel walls (31, 32) between which there are pivoted a
drive roller (50) rotatable around an axis (38) due to the friction of the band (40)
being unwound by the user's pull, a roller (60) for winding up the soiled band (40)
onto a second roll (46) through a kinematic connection with said drive roller (50),
a roller (57) for taking up the soiled band (40) within the cabinet through a
kinematic connection with an energy accumulator charged by the winding roller
(60), an idle roller (70) arranged above the drive roller (50) and pivoted between
two plates which are in turn pivoted on the walls (31, 32) so as to oscillate forward
under the pulling action exerted by the user on the band (40), as well as a ratchet
gear mobile between a rest position wherein the energy accumulator is free and an
engagement position wherein the energy accumulator is charged by the rotation of
the winding roller (60). The engagement position is reached due to the above-cited
forward oscillation of the plates and is maintained for a certain time after the
ceasing of the user's pulling action thanks to a pair of suction cups which delay the
return of the multiple lever ratchet gear to the rest position and the subsequent
release of the energy accumulated by the accumulator which drives the take-up
roller (57) so as to take up the soiled band within the cabinet, the length remaining
outside being pulled close to the lower surface of the cabinet whereby the soiled
band is not visible and the next user does not have the tendency to wipe his hands
in the exposed soiled band rather than pulling out a clean portion thereof.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un photomultiplicateur utilisé avec un mécanisme de rétroaction haute vitesse pour moduler de manière continue le gain du photomultiplicateur en réaction à la taille d'un signal d'entrée. Le gain du photomultiplicateur et le courant d'anode sont convertis indépendamment en logarithmes idéaux. Ces signaux sont ensuite soustraits les uns aux autres pour reconstruire une représentation logarithmique vraie du signal optique. Ce signal logarithmique haut niveau présente une plage dynamique plus élevée et une réaction temporelle plus rapide par rapport à l'état actuel de la technique.

geological samples. The method for detecting elements in solutions comprises
pulverising the samples using pulses, ionising the pulverised atoms during Penning's
collisions and recording the ions thus formed during a mass spectral analysis while
carrying out a separation of the ion time- of- flight. The pulse pulverisation of the sample
is carried out from a surface which is heated at a temperature of between 1000 and
1500%C and on which the sample dried in a flow of ballast gas forms a dry residue. The
ballast gas may consist of Kr, Xe or mixtures thereof wich Ar under a pressure of
between 1 and 2 torrs. The device for detecting elements in solutions comprises an
ionising device which is arranged in a gas-discharge chamber filled with an inert gas.
The detection device further includes a time- of- flight mass spectrometer which
comprises an ion sampling and focusing system as well as a reflective mass in the
shape of a spectral analyser. The ionising device is made in the shape of a thin-wall,
metallic, cylindrical and hollow cathode that comprises a dosing opening which is used
for introducing the sample to be analysed and which is located on a same axis with a
vacuum port.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning condensate, produced during the production of cellulose pulp, including evaporation of spent liquor, utilizing a cleaning plant having several condensers, coupled in series. Process steam from the last evaporation stage and unclean condensate are introduced into a combined stripper/condenser, the process steam and the condensate being brought to flow in opposite directions so that direct heat exchange occurs, resulting in volatile compounds of the condensate being separated and taken up by the steam with simultaneous indirect cooling, resulting in condensation of the main part of the process steam, and the remaining process steam gradually flowing further on, the process steam being successively cooled first resulting in water and turpentine being condensed and collected and subsequently methanol being condensed. The liquid water portion is separated from the turpentine, which is removed from the plant, and the water portion of the condensate is reintroduced to the stripper/condenser. Methanol is also separated and removed from the plant, and cleaned condensate is collected at the bottom of the combined stripper/condenser and removed from the plant or is further purified.
