Abstract: The subject of the present invention is an improved leaf packet useful in forming a spiral filtration module, and an improved module which results from utilization of the leaf packet and a method of preparing the leaf packet. The membrane sheet (10) utilized in forming a spiral filtration module is fused and densified in the area of its fold to increase the sheet density in this area and thus provide protection against mechanical failure. The densification includes the application of heat and pressure to the membrane surface (12) of the sheet so as to densify the membrane surface and seal it against the penetration of feed stream liquid while also densifying the membrane, the backing and an optional reinforcing strip (18).

Title: Convertisseur analogique-numerique interpolatif pour signaux de passe-bande
Inventor: DRESSLER HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: H03D1/00
Filed: 1990-12-19
Granted: 1995-05-31
Abstract: Dans le cas du convertisseur analogique-numérique interpolatif pour signaux de passe-bande selon l'invention, la quantification d'amplitudes des valeurs de balayage est effectuée dans 2 étages placés en série, le premier étage comprenant l'interface analogique-numérique proprement dite, et le second étage étant purement numérqiue. La quantification d'amplitudes des valeurs de balayage ne se fait pas ici, comme dans le cas des autres procédés, en utilisant des éléments finement quantifiés sur l'interface analogique-numérique, mais elle se fait par surbalayage, formation spectrale du bruit de quantification et interpolation numérique. Ceci permet d'utiliser sur l'interface analogique-numérique proprement dite des éléments à très basse définition (dans le cas extrême seulement avec 2 étages de quantification).

Abstract: A switch, in particular for regulating the speed of rotation of electric motors or the like, has a surface mounted resistance element that acts as a resistance path for regulating the speed of rotation. As a result, the printed circuit board and the resistance path can be separately produced and individually optimized. Modern manufacturing processes, such as automatic surface mounting and laser equalization, may be used independently from the usual printed circuit board assembly, thus allowing an economic industrial scale manufacture to be obtained.

Abstract: Bei Katalysatoren für den Einsatz in heißen Abgasen mit einer oberflächlich aufgerauhten metallischen Tragstruktur und einer auf der aufgerauhten metallischen Tragstruktur aufgebrachten katalytisch aktiven Beschichtung besteht das Problem, daß die katalytisch aktive Beschichtung sich von der metallischen Tragstruktur lösen kann. Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Haftung der katalytisch aktiven Masse auf der Tragstruktur zu verbessern. Hierzu sieht die Erfindung vor, daß die metallische Tragstruktur durch Funkenerosion aufgerauht ist. Des weiteren kann die katalytisch aktive Beschichtung mit Hilfe eines Vernetzungsmittels auf der durch Funkenerosion aufgerauhten metallischen Tragstruktur verankert sein. Die Erfindung ist bei katalytisch beschichteten Plattenkatalysatoren anwendbar.

Abstract: The invention provides an inhaler for delivering a substance in a finely divided form from a storage chamber within the inhaler. The inhaler comprises a metering member operable to transfer a dose of the substance from the storage chamber (10) to an inhalation passage (15), the metering member having a frusto-conical metering surface (7) which is indented to provide at least one dispensing cup (8) and being moveable between a first position in which a dispensing cup (8) is presented to the storage chamber (10) to receive a dose of the substance and a second position in which a dose of the substance is presented to the inhalation passage (15) in an upwardly open dispensing cup (8). The body (4) of the inhaler comprises a seat having an annular, frusto-conical contact surface making sliding contact with the metering surface and defining a socket within which the metering member (6) is journalled for rotation between its first and second positions. The use of a frusto-conical metering member allows a good seal to be obtained between it and the seat and also makes the inhaler relatively compact. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Projecteur à mécanisme de transport de film en boucle tournante sur lequel on monte une unité à cames de ralentissement du déroulement du film (52) à un endroit situé avant l'ouverture du projecteur. Des broches de ralentissement (66), supportées par une paire de bras espacés verticalement (62) qui dépassent de l'unité à cames, s'engagent dans les perforations marginales supérieures et inférieures du film et se déplacent avec le film en direction de l'ouverture tout en ralentissant le déroulement du film à chaque image. L'unité à cames comprend deux cames (56, 58), l'une provoquant le mouvement de ralentissement des broches et un mouvement de retour dans le sens opposé à celui du déroulement du film, tandis que l'autre (58) fait avancer les broches et les fait entrer et sortir respectivement du chemin du film. La rétraction positive des broches leur permet d'effectuer un mouvement de retour à l'encontre du sens de déroulement du film indépendamment du mouvement du film. Par comparaison aux systèmes existant à ce jour, les forces d'accélération et par conséquent les forces de résistance s'exerçant sur la came sont diminuées et l'unité à cames peut fonctionner à des cadences d'images plus élevées et/ou à des intervalles de rotor plus petits.

Preferably the phosphine is a secondary phosphine, so that there is formed an allyldialkylphosphine or a dialkylvinylphosphine. The allyldialkylphosphine can be reacted further with dialkylphosphine under free radical conditions to yield a 1,3-bis-(dialkylphosphino)propane The dialkylvinylphosphine can be reacted further with dialkylphosphine under free radical conditions to yield a 1,2-bis-(dialkylphosphino)ethane. These compounds are useful as bidentate ligands.

Abstract: The acceptability of the appearance of objects (12) such as consumer products is determined by forming an initial discriminant function (F) as a composite of a relatively small number of images (I) which are known to be acceptable. This initial discriminant function is then used to gather statistical information (P, A, B, C) about how a first relatively large number of images compare to the initial discriminant function. Thereafter, this statistical information is used (318-324) to select or aid in the selection of acceptable images from a second relatively large number of images, and the images selected as acceptable are used (334) to refine the discriminant function. The refined discriminant function is then used (e.g., during actual product inspection (402-414)) to determine which objects have an acceptable appearance and which do not. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A ventilating apparatus for rooms 1 is proposed, with a narrow, elongate housing 2 which consists of extrusion-moulded and/or extruded profiles 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and two endpieces 8. It has a chamber 19 provided with inner air passage openings 20 and outer air passage openings 21 and its housing 2 is inserted into a wall opening adapted to its dimensions or into a gap between a wing leg or frame leg of a window or of a door and the edge of a guide element, e.g. a glass pane, arranged therein. In the chamber 19 of the housing 2, the inner and/or outer air passage openings 20, 21 are assigned a strip-shaped shut-off member 22 which can be displaced between a closed position and an open position and on which an adjusting device 23 engages, which is located in or on the endpieces 8 of the housing 2 and can be actuated via a swivel arm 34 projecting from one of the endpieces 8. The ventilating apparatus 1 is characterised in that the shut-off member 22 is held and guided both pivotably movably as well as longitudinally and transversely displaceably inside the chamber 19 of the housing 2 relative to the inner air passage openings 20 or the outer air passage openings 21 with the aid of an adjusting device 23, and in that in this case, by means of the swivelling movement of the shut-off member 22, its open position and closed position can be determined relative to the air passage openings 20 or 21 while, by combined longitudinal and transverse displacement, its closed position on the housing 2 can be alternatively locked and unlocked over its entire length. <IMAGE>
