Patent EP-0891565-B1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHMIDT HELMUT
IPC: G02B1/00
Filed: 1997-04-03
Granted: 2001-08-29
Abstract: Optical components have a material-distribution gradient due to nanometer-size particles embedded in a solid matrix. The components are manufactured by forming a dispersion of nanometer-size particles in a liquid, curable matrix material, causing the particles to migrate in the matrix material on the basis of a potential difference to form a distribution gradient, and subsequently curing the matrix material, retaining the distribution gradient. The method is suitable for use in the manufacture of optical lenses with a refractive index gradient.

Abstract: A powder inhaler contains powder and includes a mechanism for providing pressurized gas to discharge the powder through a mouthpiece. The gas must pass through an orifice before reaching the powder. The orifice is normally closed by an obturator which is released in response to the sensing of suction in the mouthpiece. The pressurized gas can bias the obturator to an orifice opening position prior to the detection of suction in the mouthpiece, so that when the obturator is released, the orifice is immediately and rapidly opened, and powder is rapidly emitted through the mouthpiece.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de récupérer du pétrole et/ou du gaz ou d'augmenter la quantité de pétrole et/ou de gaz récupérée dans une formation souterraine. Le procédé consiste à injecter à l'intérieur de la formation, de préférence sous la forme d'une solution aqueuse, au minimum un monoéther alcoylique de polyéthylène glycol dans lequel le groupe alkyle possède entre 3 et 5 carbones et le polyéthylène glycol possède entre 3 et 6 unités d'oxyde d'éthylène (par exemple, un éther butylique de triéthylène glycol). Des compositions particulièrement préférées sont des mélanges comprenant lesdites substances et au minimum un éther mono-alcoylique de mono- ou diéthylène glycol (par exemple, un mélange d'éther butyl-triglycolique, d'éther tétraglycolique, d'éther butyl-pentaglycolique et d'éther butyl-diglycolique. Le procédé de l'invention peut être appliqué dans des traitements de simulation de puits tels que le blocage des pores par le filtrat, la consolidation du sable, l'acidification des grès, mais aussi avec des méthodes qui permettent d'augmenter la récupération du pétrole telle que du pétrole tertiaire.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un support d'information (1) en forme de disque et un dispositif servant à écrire et/ou à lire des blocs d'information sur une piste (9). Afin d'indiquer la piste (9), le support d'information (1) possède un motif asservi (4) qui inclut des éléments d'information sur la position et de synchronisation (35, 36). On peut distinguer de manière prédéterminée des éléments de synchronisation, tels qu'une brève impulsion dans une oscillation, dans les enroulements adjacents (30, 31) de la piste (9); ils peuvent résulter, par exemple, de la polarité alternante ou de positions décalées. Le dispositif comprend une tête de lecture/d'écriture et une commande de système qui détecte, lors de l'écriture, les éléments de synchronisation et surveille les déviations; lorsqu'une déviation survient, cela signifie que la tête de lecture/d'écriture s'est écartée et s'est retrouvée sur un enroulement adjacent. L'écriture est alors interrompue. L'avantage de ce système est de réduire au minimum la quantité d'informations réécrites dans les enroulements adjacents en cas de dérangements dus à des chocs ou à des défauts du support d'information. En outre, l'invention concerne un dispositif de lecture qui interrompt la lecture en fonction des éléments de synchronisation.

Abstract: Provided is a wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which comprises, as a component A, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a vinyl pyrrolidone.vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene oxide and the half ester of a methyl vinyl ether.maleic anhydride copolymer; as a component B, a liquid plasticizer compatible with the component A; and as a component C, a filler. The combination of the component C with components A and B makes it possible to provide a wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which exhibits tackiness in the presence of water or a hydrophilic medium, adheres well to the application site, dries speedily after adhesion, has high mechanical strength after drying and can be peeled off easily. The wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is therefore useful as a facial pack material such as peel-off pack for the removal of horny plugs formed in the skin pores or a skin covering material for the moist or wet skin surface.

Abstract: A process and assembly (28) make a high-grade substitute material for garden peat by the physicochemical breakdown of materials containing lignocellulose. It especially uses residual wood from woodworking or forestry operations. The wood particles are exposed to hot water and/or steam at temperatures in the range 90 to 250 degrees C and a pressure of between 2 and 30 bar. The pH of the resulting peat substitute is adjusted to between 3.0 and 6.6 by temperature control. After heat treatment lasting between 5 and 25 minutes, the mass is subject to adiabatic expansion. The wood-based product is converted to fibers in a process requiring little energy, reduced still further by the use of residual materials in a gasification process. The peat-based material is water-soluble and may be used as a biodegradable herbicide, for the cultivation of mushrooms, and for the cultivation of microorganisms.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing paper, mat, laminate or similar material web (16) using a binder feeding mechansim (12) and by subsequent hardening, in particular of a material web (16) having high plybond strength which is then varnished. In this method, a water-dilutable acrylate in the form of a binder is fed to the material web at the binder feeding mechansim (12). The material web is then hardened by an electron beam, after the water content has been evaporated off. In accordance with the invention, after feeding the binder, or after the impregnation process, the material web (16) containing the noncrosslinked acrylate is dried and the water is evaporated from the binder, preferably an emulsion. The material web (16) is then printed and crosslinkage or polymerization begun. After printing, a varnish is applied that is capable of being hardened by an electron-beam. The material or paper web can be pressure-impregnated with the acrylate. The binder present in noncrosslinked residual paper, or the excess binder from the impregnating procedure, in particular acrylate emulsion, is preferably returned (18, 20, 28, 32) to the binder feeding mechansim (12).
