Title: Revêtements auto-nettoyants
Inventor: CHARPENTIER PAUL A
IPC: C09D7/62
Filed: 2010-01-08
Abstract: L’invention concerne deux procédés pour effectuer la synthèse de nouveaux nanocomposites de titane-polyuréthane (nTiO2-PU) pour des revêtements auto-nettoyants : un procédé de fonctionnalisation de polymères (greffage à) et un procédé de fonctionnalisation de monomères (greffage à partir de). On a utilisé un acide 2,2 bis(hydroxymethyl) propionique (HMPA) comme agent de coordination, qui a été mis à réagir avec n-TiO2 (50/50 anatase/rutile) pour former nTiO2-HMPA, puis polymérisé au moyen du procédé de fonctionnalisation de monomères. Dans le procédé de fonctionnalisation de polymère, HMPA a été mis à réagir avec un pré-polymère pour former PU, puis ensuite mis à réagir avec n-TiO2 pour former un nanocomposite polymère. On a étudié l’aptitude au nettoyage photocatalytique des nanocomposites lorsqu’ils sont exposés à un rayonnement ultraviolet au moyen d’un HMPA supplémentaire "sale" qui n’a pas été mis à réagir ou d’un acide stéarique en tant que composant modèle "sale". Les nanocomposites préparés au moyen de ces deux stratégies ont montré un comportement d’auto-nettoyage identique, bien que la technique monomère entraîne moins de dégradation du substrat.

Abstract: Improved capacitive touch and hover sensing with a sensor array is provided. An AC ground shield positioned behind the sensor array and stimulated with signals of the same waveform as the signals driving the sensor array may concentrate the electric field extending from the sensor array and enhance hover sensing capability. The hover position and/or height of an object that is nearby, but not directly above, a touch surface of the sensor array, e.g., in the border area at the end of a touch screen, may be determined using capacitive measurements of sensors near the end of the sensor array by fitting the measurements to a model. Other improvements relate to the joint operation of touch and hover sensing, such as determining when and how to perform touch sensing, hover sensing, both touch and hover sensing, or neither.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a plurality of strings (1) of a photovoltaic system (4) connected to a power inverter (3) comprises the steps of: measuring current values of currents which flow from the individual strings (1) to the power inverter (3); determining a reference current value from each plurality of contemporaneously measured current values; standardising the current values to the reference current value determined for the respective plurality of contemporaneously measured current values; and analysing long-term courses of the standardised current values of the currents which have flowed from the individual strings (1) within representative time periods by comparison with comparison values established for the individual strings (1). The step of analysing comprises: updating the comparison values using the standardised currents such that a long-term alteration of the standardised current values of one individual strings (1) in an direction results in an alteration of the comparison value established for that same one of the individual strings (1) in the same direction; determining differences between the standardised current values and the updated comparison values; continuously calculating a sum of the differences determined for each individual string (1); continuously comparing the sum with a limit value for the respective individual string (1); and indicating a failure of an individual string, if the sum exceeds the limit value.
