Abstract: Cette invention, qui porte sur un procédé permettant de concentrer une émulsion aqueuse de polytétrafluoroéthylène (PTFE) dans un temps extrêmement court par rapport à celui que nécessitent les procédés habituels, concerne également l'appareil correspondant. Elle permet d'éviter la production d'eaux résiduaires ainsi que la formation de floculat lors de la phase de concentration tout en rendant possible la récupération des tensioactifs utilisés lors de la polymérisation de l'émulsion de PTFE. Le procédé utilisé au titre de cette invention est un procédé discontinu ou continu et l'appareil permettant d'effectuer la concentration de l'émulsion aqueuse de PTFE fonctionne du fait d'une différence de hauteur existant entre les équipements servant à amener l'émulsion vers une cellule d'électrodialyse après régulation du pH et adjonction d'un tensioactif à ladite émulsion de PTFE.

Abstract: Multiple methods are known to process materials or alter their properties using an electron beam. Until now, it was not possible to impinge upon minuscule surface sections (pixel) with a given arrangement on the surface in order to achieve certain effects. According to the invention, the object to be impinged upon is moved contact-free under a mask. A bidimensional deflectable electron beam oscillating at a high frequency perpendicular to the direction of movement of the object is moved on the mask, the speed being essentially faster than that of the movement of the object. Said method can be used for processing any material, preferably plane or band-shaped objects, in order to achieve processing effects by means of physical or chemical reaction.

Title: Process and device for locking-in a yig-tuned oscillator
Inventor: SCHEFFOLD BRUNO
IPC: H03L7/099
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a lock-in process and device for a YIG-tuned oscillator which takes into account ageing and hysteresis of the YIG-tuned oscillator. This object is attained in that during a predetermined frequency change, the frequency of the YIG-tuned oscillator (1) is preset by means of a microprocessor (17) that progressively changes the current (ISP) in the main tuning coil (13) of the YIG-tuned oscillator (1) by an iterative capture routine, until the capture range ( DELTA FM) of the switched-on frequency-locked loop, which changes with the coil current (ISP), includes the new operating frequency (fSET). The switched-on frequency-locked loop then pulls the oscillator frequency into the capture range of the PLL and the PLL locks-in the oscillator frequency to the new operating frequency (fSET). The microprocessor (17) interrupts the capture routine when a PLL-LOCK detector (11) announces to the microprocessor (17) that the new operating frequency (fSET) has been successfully locked-in. The invention is used in a process for locking-in a phase-locked loop (PLL) to a YIG-tuned oscillator whose frequency is brought into the PLL capture range by a frequency-locked loop equipped with a frequency discriminator. When the PLL is locked-in, the frequency-locked loop can be switched off.
