Abstract: A dropper assembly for feeding liquid composition to a freezing chamber comprises a tray having a plurality of feed elements that are designed to provide regulated discharge of the liquid composition from the tray and to feed the liquid composition into the freezing chamber in uniformly sized drops. The feed elements each comprise a projection that is downwardly disposed in relation to the tray. The tray has a bottom wall with a plurality of orifices, each orifice associated with a corresponding projection. The projection has an inlet opening associated with the corresponding orifice in the tray and an outlet opening where droplets are formed and released. The dimension of the inlet opening is greater than the dimension of the outlet opening. The narrowing taper of the flow channel that extends from the inlet opening to the outlet opening promotes regulated accumulation of liquid composition to facilitate regulated discharge and formation of uniformly sized droplets. An inventive method is also provided for feeding liquid composition to a freezing chamber to form uniformly sized beads of frozen product. The inventive method utilizes the novel dropper assembly.

Abstract: Procédé de production d'une résine styrénique qui consiste à transformer en granulés un polymère styrénique syndiotactique en poudre à l'aide d'une extrudeuse ventilée dotée de plusieurs évents ayant une pression intérieure de 0 à 760 Torr à une température de fusion se situant entre le point de fusion du polymère et 400 °C dans des conditions répondant à l'équation Q/(DxHxV) = 2,0x104 à 6,0x 105 dans laquelle Q est le débit d'extrusion (kg/h), D est le diamètre de la vis sans fin (m), H est la profondeur de la rainure de vis (m) et V est la vitesse circonférentielle de la vis (m/sec). Selon ledit procédé, les substances volatiles (telles que le monomère) restant dans le polymère styrénique syndiotactique sont diminuées de manière économique et efficace dans l'étape de granulation, ce qui permet une production efficiente et stable de matériaux de moulage ayant des formes satisfaisantes et dont la teneur est si réduite en résidus volatils que lesdits matériaux ne présentent pas de mauvaise odeur lors de la granulation et/ou du moulage.

Abstract: On connaissait jusqu'à présent les dispositifs de commande dans lesquels le clapet d'étranglement passe en position de fonctionnement d'urgence en cas de défaillance du servomoteur. Ce système nécessitait jusqu'à maintenant un ressort supplémentaire. Selon le dispositif de commande mis au point par l'invention, en cas de défaillance du servomoteur (16), un ressort (8) peut amener le clapet d'étranglement (4d) dans une position de fonctionnement d'urgence située entre les deux positions extrêmes. A cet effet, on utilise des démultiplications de différentes grandeurs (6a, 6b) entre les deux articulations du ressort (31, 32) et un élément intermédiaire. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser un ressort supplémentaire. Le dispositif de commande s'utilise notamment pour des véhicules équipés d'un moteur à combustion interne à élément d'étranglement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réflectomètre optique dans le domaine temporel (OTDR) fournissant à la fois des informations de mesures en service et hors service pour un système de transmission optique à répéteurs (34, 44) multiples. Ces répéteurs comprennent un chemin optique de bouclage à fortes pertes (HLLB) et un chemin OTDR. L'OTDR (30) est couplé aux lignes d'entrée du système de transmission optique via un coupleur optique de sorte que les signaux de trafic et les signaux de test provenant de l'OTDR (30) peuvent être transmis simultanément. Lorsque l'OTDR (30) fournit des informations de mesure en service, des signaux de test sous forme d'impulsions à effet local sont transmis sur le système de transmission. L'ODTR (30) filtre le signal de trafic du signal de retour. Le chemin (40) HLLB passant par les deux amplificateurs de chaque répéteur est reconnaissable dans le signal de retour. Lorsque l'OTDR (30) fournit des informations de mesure hors service, le niveau des impulsions à effet local est augmenté, car une interférence avec des signaux de trafic ne constitue dès lors plus un problème.

Date Oct. 16, 1997An opening and closing device for use with a shutter system for protecting a building space, such as a slat-type roller blind for a window, includes a series of slats capable of sliding in two generally vertical, laterally positioned guides (4). The slats are hooked to each other by hooking systems (7), and include a male/female interlocking system along their length. The device can be used to lower or raise the shutter system to close or open the protected space, moving between a totally closed position and a partially or fully opened position. In the closed position, the lower slat rests against a horizontal surface and the slats are interlocked with one another along their length to form a continuous sheet. In the partially or fully opened position, the slats are disengaged and separated from each other by a space determined by the height of the hooking system (7). Mirrored elements (20) can be attached to the faces of at least some of the slats to give bottom floors of the protected space maximum natural illumination while the space remains completely private, and to illuminate upper floors by altering the openings of the slats so that incoming light can be inhibited and/or diffused. This permits regulation of the internal temperature of the building responsive to the openings of the slats. When the slats are completely closed, the internal surface of the shutter system forms a mirror capable of saving a considerable amount of energy.
