Abstract: An anticounterfeit detector (ACD) does both a high and
low resolution scan of a document. The video signal
resulting from the low resolution scan is used to detect
a selected type of image, e.g., currency, negotiable
securities, etc., by using ACD hardware or software. A
corrective action is taken, e.g., preferably even partial
printing from the high resolution scan is prevented, the
video signal is invalidated, etc., if the selected image
is detected. The low resolution signal can also be
obtained by decimating or low pass filtering the high
resolution signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des matériaux nanocomposites polymériques/inorganiques légers à température d'utilisation élevée présentant des caractéristiques de stabilité et derésistance thermiques améliorées. Ces matériaux peuvent être produits au moyen de procédés de synthèse de matériaux composites qui améliorent la stabilité thermique des systèmes nanocomposites de 100-150 °C à plus de 450 °C. Il est possible d'obtenir de tels matériaux et d'employer de telles techniques de production au moins en partie par l'utilisation de monomères et d'oligomères phtalonitriles organiques polaires capables d'exfolier des phyllosilicates stratifiés, tels que des argiles smectites, dans des pourcentages supérieurs à 10 % de masse inorganique en poids. Cette approche offre une technique d'intercalation par fusion directe sans solvant qui réduit considérablement le coût du traitement des nanocomposites. En outre, l'utilisation de phyllosilicates non modifiés permet de résoudre les limitations de température relatives à l'art antérieur, qui fait appel à des silicates stratifiés organiquement modifiés. La nouvelle technologie permet d'obtenir des caractéristiques de stabilité et de résistance thermiques jusqu'ici impossibles et présente de nombreuses applications dans les industries automobiles, aérospatiales, électroniques et marines.

Abstract: Bei einem turboaufgeladenen Dieselmotor (1) wird die Ladeluft (12) in einem als Einspritzkühler ausgeführten Ladeluftkühler (5) gekühlt. Das im Ladeluftkühler in das Arbeitsmittel des Dieselmotors eingebrachte Wasser wird nach der Entspannung des Arbeitsmittels mittels eines Kondensators (6) und eines Abscheiders (7) aus dem Abgas (14) auskondensiert und in den Ladeluftkühler zurückgeführt. Erfindungsgemäss wird der Motor ohne Einspritzung von extern zugeführtem Wasser in den Ladeluftkühler gestartet. Bei der Verbrennung im Dieselmotor entstehendes Wasser wird aus dem Abgasstrom auskondensiert, und in den Ladeluftkühler rückgeführt. Während des Betriebs durch die Verbrennung von Dieselkraftstoff fortwährend entstehender zusätzlicher Wasserdampf wird ebenfalls auskondensiert und in den Ladeluftkühler eingebracht. Auf diese Weise wird das Arbeitsmittel mit Feuchte aufgeladen, bis der aus dem Abgas abscheidbare Wassermassenstrom für die Soll-Kühlleistung des Ladeluftkühlers ausreicht. Darüber hinaus entstehendes Verbrennungswasser kann anderen Zwecken zugeführt werden. So können Kraftmaschinen mit innerer Verbrennung, bei welchen Wasser in das Arbeitsmittel eingebracht wird, ohne externe Wasserversorgung betrieben werden.
