Abstract: In the process for shirring such casings of elastically and plastically deformable material, a shirring tool (6) passes along the casing (5) transported in the direction of its longitudinal axis and inflated with a support gas, and the casing (5) is laid into folds by the tool and against an opposing force is tightly compressed together in a concertina fashion. Moreover, to increase the shirring density and to increase the breaking strength of the concertina, the casing is stretched apart in the circumferential direction, preferably by 5 to 15%, prior to the shirring element. It is particularly advantageous to have the shirring element act immediately after stretching, before the elastic recovery is completed. A suitable shirring device for carrying out the process is also described, which has, on the shirring core (1) prior to the shirring tool, an expansion component (2).

Granted: 1993-06-02
Abstract: In a chemical analysis apparatus a controlled sample liquid is passed through a non-wetting porous membrane (23) in a diluter assembly (12) from a reservoir of sample liquid to a flowing stream of diluent which is constantly flowing. The sample liquid penetrates the membrane (23) under a positive pressure differential from the sample side of the membrane (23). Control is provided by varying the resistance to flow of the sample liquid, and the pressure on the sample liquid, as it flows through the diluter assembly (12). Passage of the sample liquid through the membrane (23) requires a minimum liquid entry pressure differential across the membrane (23) to cause enough penetration to give a detectable presence of the sample liquid in the diluent stream for analysis by an analytical detector (19).

Title: Digital audio companding and error conditioning
IPC: H04H20/88
Filed: 1987-09-16
Granted: 1992-10-14
Abstract: A system for companding digital audio signal samples processes the digital audio signal samples to correct errors induced by the compression and expansion processes. These errors are calculated prior to compressing the samples. Such errors are calculated in accordance with a predetermined compression process and a predetermined expansion process; and the digital audio signal samples are corrected in accordance with such calculations prior to compression. The compression process includes providing a 3-bit gain word for a block of 70 samples. The gain word is computed in accordance with the position of the most significant "1" bit in the sample(s) having the peak magnitude. Each individual sample is processed in accordance with the block gain word to compress the sample by reducing the number of magnitude bits. The error calculation process includes calculating an error signal by subtracting a calculated reproduced digital audio signal sample from the digital audio signal sample to be compressed, filtering the error signal by noise-spectral filtering and adding the filtered error signal to the next-providing digital audio signal sample to provide a corrected digital audio signal sample for compression. The error calculation process also includes calculating an error value based upon the effect of using a single gain word for compressing a block of samples. The error value is subtracted from the corrected digital audio signal sample prior to compression. The gain word is forward error corrected by (5,1) encoding to enable detection and correction of both single-bit and double-bit errors in transfer by majority voting. The sign bit and the most significant magnitude bits of the compressed samples are forward error corrected to enable detection and correction of single-bit errors in transfer and to enable detection and concealment of double-bit errors in transfer.

Title: Process and apparatus for sustaining the cathodic protection of metal surfaces
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 1988-01-16
Granted: 1990-12-27
Abstract: For corrosion protection of metallic surfaces in contact with an electrolyte by an external current, using an inert electrode as the external current anode, and a potentiostat, the protective current being periodically switched off and the actual potential (Eact) being measured directly between the external current anode acting in this phase as reference electrode and the surface to be protected and being compared with the protective potential (Eset) set on the potentiostat, and the difference (Eact-Eset) being utilised directly as the control variable for the protective current, it is intended that the protective potential just prevailing at the time is measurable and hence readjustable independently of the protective current which has flowed through. This is achieved when the potential (Eact) is measured after a slight time interval after switching-off and is utilised in the control phase as the control variable for the protective current flowing during the switched-on time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Light-stabilized star polymer microparticles are described which are prepared with particular advantage by group transfer polymerization. The light stabilization is effected by carrying out at least a part step of the polymerization in the presence of a light stabilizer, for example a hindered amine or/and a UV absorber. With particular advantage, those light stabilizers are used which contain reactive groups in the molecule and, in this way, can be chemically incorporated into the polymer. The polymer microparticles show excellent light stability and are outstandingly suitable as constituents in coating compositions which can be processed, for example, to give coating films of high light stability.

L'électrode ou les électrodes exposées au gaz à mesurer contiennent éventuellement une ossature céramique de support et sont recouvertes d'une couche céramique poreuse de protection composée d'une matrice en Al2O3- et/ou en spinelle de Mg (MgO.Al2O3) dans laquelle sont déposées des particules de ZrO2 de préférence métastables. L'utilisation pour former la couche de protection d'un système d'oxydes mixtes d'Al2O3/ZrO2 pouvant éventuellement contenir un stabilisateur du ZrO2, par exemple Y2O3, et obtenu de préférence par co-précipitation ou par l'union de suspensions de constituants séparément précipités, ou par la calcination par pulvérisation d'une solution commune des sels des constituants, permet, de façon surprenante, d'obtenir une couche adhésive de protection agglomérée par frittage et ayant une répartition relativement serrée de la grosseur des pores qui laisse passer les gaz de manière optimale jusqu'à l'électrode extérieure du capteur de mesure. L'utilisation de la poudre d'oxydes mixtes d'Al2O3/ZrO2 permet en outre de compenser dans une large mesure la disproportion auparavant observée entre les contraintes mécaniques et l'adhérence de la couche et d'obtenir la porosité et le positionnement de réglage voulus du capteur.
