Abstract: The system for controlling a number of actuators (A11-Anr) comprises at least two processors (L1-Lk) and at least two control modules (C1-Cn) for at least one actuator. Each control module is suitable for controlling at least one actuator by means of at least a first connection (16) and receives information relating to the actuator state by means of a second connection (15). Each control module is connected to at least two processors by means of at least two communications buses (11-13).  An Independent claim is made for a control method in which at least two control modules are used which take decisions relating to control of actuators and which control the actuators as commanded by data received from a number of processors. Each processor receives information from the control modules to which it is connected and determines actuator commands based on the received information.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing erosion-resistant wearing parts and a wearing part are disclosed, whereby the wearing part manufactured according to the invention comprises at least one hard powder composition (A) and at least one ductile powder composition (B) that together are densified in a single pressing step into an entirely dense product. According to the method, the temperature coefficient of the hard powder composition (A) is controlled by keeping the temperature coefficient of the hard powder composition smaller than that of the encapsulating powder composition (B), whereby the hard powder composition (A), with the exception of the outer erosion-subjected surface of the wearing part, remains entirely encapsulated by powder composition (B) so effectively that the imposed eroding forces cannot essentially extrude the hard powder composition (A) out from the wearing part through its erosion-subjected outer surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexographic water based ink in which a biodegradable polymer, such a polyhy-droxyalkanoate (PHA), replaces conventional poorly or non-biodegradable organic polymeric resins for example. PHAs are used as a latex suspension in water, thus the present invention relates to a novel pigment/latex mixture. PHA in a latex form is a fluid vehicle in which all the other components necessary to provide a flexographic ink are added, i.e., pigments, wax and/or binder, as well as a solvent, if necessary. The PHAs are mainly responsible for the biodegradability of the flexographic water based ink. The present invention relates also a method to produce a flexographic water based composition with enhanced biodegradability properties.

Abstract: Le réservoir de stockage pour liquides cryogéniques de l'invention comprend une cuve de sonde délimitant un espace mort. La cuve de sonde communique, par une conduite creuse, avec une conduite de remplissage qui achemine le liquide cryogénique vers un espace cryogénique. Le point de jonction de la conduite creuse et de la conduite de remplissage présente une certaine aire de section transversale. La partie située en aval du point de jonction, à l'intérieur de la conduite de remplissage, mesuré par référence au sens d'écoulement du liquide cryogénique, au cours d'une opération de remplissage de l'espace cryogénique, présente une aire de section transversale supérieure à celle du point de jonction. Cette configuration crée au point de jonction, pendant une opération de remplissage, une réduction de la pression qui provoque un écoulement net de matière de l'espace mort, pendant toute la durée de l'opération de remplissage. Une fois le réservoir de stockage rempli de liquide de sorte que le liquide cryogénique redescende dans la conduite creuse, l'aire de section transversale plus petite de la conduite creuse, comparée à la conduite de remplissage, provoque une réduction de l'écoulement du liquide cryogénique, laquelle réduction est détectée par la pompe de remplissage qui arrête d'alimenter l'espace mort. L'invention concerne en outre un moyen de drainer la cuve de sonde avant et pendant le remplissage du réservoir de stockage.

Abstract: The procedure for creating nanometric or micrometric pores (6) in a polyimide sheet (1) consists of ion bombardment (2) with xenon or other ions, radiation in the visible light range (4), and chemical attack (5).  The procedure for creating nanometric or micrometric pores (6) in a polyimide sheet (1) consists of ion bombardment (2) with xenon or other ions, radiation in the visible light range (4), and chemical attack (5). The light radiation is preferably between 450 and 530 Nm, using a source such as LEDs or halogen spot lamp that produce little heat, so that the sheet does not need cooling. Alternatively the sheet is subjected to radiation from a UV-mercury source coupled with a UV filter, emitting at a wavelength of 360 - 580 Nm. The chemical attack is carried out using NaOCl at a concentration of 0.01 - 5 N and a temperature of 30 - 100 degrees C for less than 15 mins.
