Abstract: L'invention concerne une brouette pliante, que l'on peut faire passer d'une position dépliée à une position pliée et inversement et qui comprend une paire de poignées (213, 214), une paire de pieds (219, 220), une roue (216) et un conteneur (222) pliable, qui est constitué d'un matériau en feuille souple. Les parties avant des poignées sont reliées l'une à l'autre par des charnières de façon à former une partie d'appui lorsqu'elles sont dépliées, et les parties arrière des poignées sont espacées latéralement l'une de l'autre pour pouvoir être saisies. Les parties avant des pieds sont reliées l'une à l'autre par des charnières et sont situées au-dessus des parties avant des poignées lorsque la brouette est dépliée, et les parties arrière des pieds forment des pieds espacés l'un de l'autre de façon à supporter la brouette. Chaque pied est relié par une charnière à un bras contigu pour tourner autour d'un axe correspondant de la charnière principale. La roue est montée rotative autour d'un moyeu s'étendant transversalement, qui est relié coulissant par charnières aux parties avant des poignées. Le conteneur pliable est situé entre les parties avant des pieds et les parties arrière des poignées. Une structure de rigidité s'étend entre les bras et les pieds de façon à limiter un mouvement relatif entre eux autour de l'axe principal et à rigidifier la brouette lorsque celle-ci est dépliée. Une structure de limitation limite la rotation des poignées autour de l'axe des poignées.

Abstract: The apparatus for core packaging includes a pallet which can be driven into an open tool unit formed by horizontally divided top and bottom tools of a core shooting machine. This allows removal of the cores from the top tool. The pallet is lifted and lowered relative to the top tool (and the cores to be ejected) by the bottom tool. To remove cores (8, 8', 10, 10') and to form core packages before leaving the tool unit (1), the pallet is moved successively to regions (4, 5) of the top tool (2) with at least two cores, and is lifted up by the bottom tool (3). The pallet has centring elements which interact with the corresponding centring elements of the top and bottom tools. Also claimed is a corresponding method for operating the proposed apparatus. The pallet is centred for core removal operations which take place in succession so that a core package can be formed at the same time.

Abstract: An apparatus stabilizes the level of an output
signal (b) of an output control unit (1) according to a
control signal (c). When a power source is turned on or
when burst signal transmission starts, an input signal
(a) to the output control unit (1) rises. While the
input signal (a) is rising, a switching circuit (6)
selects initial value data (e) held in an initial value
data holding circuit (8), so that a smoothing unit (4)
may generate the control signal (c) from the initial
value data (e). When a variation in difference data
obtained from a moving average of the difference between
level data (h) detected by a level detecting unit (3) and
reference value data (g) held in a reference value data
holding circuit (9) decreases below a predetermined
value, the switching circuit (6) provides the difference
data as average value data (f) to the smoothing unit (4)
so that the smoothing unit (4) may generate the control
signal (c) from the average value data (f). Thereafter,
the variation in the difference data will exceed the
predetermined value and then decrease below the
predetermined value. Then, difference data at this
moment is used as new average value data (f). This
apparatus stabilizes the transmission output (b) from a
first rise thereof.

Abstract: A p-i-n electroabsorption modulator uses GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (7a, 7b, 7c,
7d, 7e) to absorb light (25) at a resonant frequency (λ 1 ). By arranging the wells in
such a way that they become optically coupled, light is absorbed through a
delocalised absorption mode called a polariton. This results in a resonance (9) with a
narrower spectral linewidth (Δλ Σ' ) than has previously been achieved and is used to
increase the switching efficiency of the device. Using this new absorbing mode, the
performances of waveguides and non-linear optical switches are also improved.

Abstract: A novel process has been developed for the treatment of crosslinked ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomer material to decrease its residual peroxide levels. EPDM is used to form the seats and neck gaskets of metering valves used in metered-dose inhalers (MDI). For filled and inverted MDI units these EPDM components are in direct contact with the pharmaceutical formulation media. The process involves exposing the EPDM valve components to a solution of 2-mercaptoethanol, a chemical reducing agent. The 2-mercaptoethanol greatly diminishes the residual peroxide levels in EPDM by reducing the peroxide functional groups to the corresponding hydroxyl groups. EPDM components treated in this manner have demonstrated very low peroxide levels and, consequently, greatly improved compatibility with the pharmaceutical formulation in the inhaler. An advantage of this approach is that the treated EPDM would likely retain its favorable physical properties and its good performance in metering valves. In this work 2-mercaptoethanol was used as the model reducing agent. It is believed, however, that similar positive results can be obtained using other reducing agents, notably other volatile compounds containing sulfur in one of its lower valence states (i.e. other thiol compounds or sulfur dioxide).
