Title: Systeme et procede de traitement dynamique d'un index pour la creation dynamique d'une serie de questions
Inventor: ANDERSON DEWEY CHARLES
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un index associé à une base de données, que l'on soumet à un traitement dynamique dans un système de recherche d'informations, pour créer une série de questions propres au traitement d'une demande d'information émanant d'un utilisateur. L'index, en tant que guide de recherche structuré pour la base de données, a plusieurs domaines d'information. Une fois l'un de ces domaines choisis, le système détermine un ordre particulier des catégories d'index dans ce domaine, généralement en se référant à la table de consultation par ordre de l'index. Un script correspond au domaine choisi; dans ce script existent des questions correspondant à chaque catégorie d'index du domaine. Les questions permettent de solliciter dynamiquement l'utilisateur. Seules les questions correspondant à des catégories d'index actives entrent dans la série de questions ayant un ordre de série qui coïncide avec l'ordre particulier des catégories d'index. Selon un procédé itératif, on identifie la première question, avec laquelle l'utilisateur est sollicité : on lui demande de choisir un terme dans une liste réduite de termes (c'est-à-dire uniquement les termes associés à la première question et correspondant à la première catégorie d'index). Au moment de ce choix s'engage une recherche dans la base de données, via le module de moteur de recherche, sur la base du terme choisi. Si l'information en retour est trop abondante, on identifie la question suivante, et le processus itératif recommence.

Title: Procede de production en continu de dihydroxydiphenylalcanes
Inventor: FENNHOFF GERHARD
IPC: C07C37/82
Filed: 1998-05-05
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire en continu des dihydroxydiphénylalcanes (bisphénols) par transformation de phénol frais, de phénol résultant de la dissociation de produits sécondaires, avec de l'isoalcénylphénol et de la cétone. Au cours de ce procédé, le mélange de réaction est traité par distillation et un bisphénol d'une grande pureté est produit. Les résidus et distillats contenant les produits sécondaires sont soumis à une dissociation basique, puis éventuellement, à une dissociation acide. Des produits résultant de cette dissociation, qui sont essentiellement de l'isoalcénylphénol et du phénol, sont, éventuellement après purification, renvoyés, avec le phénol obtenu pendant la purification du bisphénol, à la réaction de transformation en bisphénol, et le résidu de dissociation est éliminé.

Abstract: A working of two streaks of cord grooves in a key plate
is inefficient, and there is a problem that is is difficult to
secure the desired precision of the cord grooves. The present
invention provides the key plate and the method for manufacturing
thereof for solving such problems. 
     That is, the rear end portion of one cord groove 11 in
a key plate K 1  is connected to the rear end portion of the other
cord groove 12 through a connecting groove 13, whereby the milling
cutter C worked the cord groove 11, works connecting groove 13
continuously, and further works cord groove 12 continuously.
Therefore, without returning the milling cutter C back to the
original position thereof, the cord groove 11, connecting groove
13 and cord groove 12 can be worked at a time, thereby being able
to reduce the time necessary to work the cord grooves. The thus
worked connecting groove 13 can be used as a groove which permits
the movement of a dog plate 23 of a cylinder lock L in the merging
direction thereof.

IPC: E01C7/26

Abstract: The invention concerns the continuous production of bituminous materials modified by addition of polymers and reacted with sulphur. The binders resulting from said method can contain very high amounts of polymers also combined with secondary materials such as: rubber, various plastics and waste lubricants. This type of binders, which cannot be obtained by discontinuous batch technology, results from the continuous mixing of several bituminous constituents through a static mixer. Said binders provide very high performance bituminous materials and agents for regenerating old bituminous materials contained in waste road materials, in the process of hot recycling of coated materials. They are also used for producing novel emulsions of highly modified binders, with multiple applications and in particular for cold recycling. This novel method, by regeneration of old bitumen contained in waste coated materials, represents a means for waste conversion and for limiting the use of bitumen and road surfacing aggregates.

IPC: G09F13/20
Filed: 1998-07-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for supplying information to pilots, especially in poor visibility, about, for instance, the borders of a runway (1). Along the long sides of the runway and at its beginning and end, signal means (2, 5) are arranged, which are translucent to e.g. UV radiation and which comprise a fluorescent material which converts the radiation penetrated by illumination into visible light. In the daytime, the UV radiation originates from sunlight. The converted light will then reinforce the usual light from the signal means, which originates from the sun's illumination thereof with visible light. As a result, It will be much easier to observe the signal means especially against the light. It is further suggested according to the invention that at night the signal means are illuminated by UV searchlights (34, 35). By a great number of signal means being illuminated simultaneously by a small number of searchlights, a great amount of electric equipment and installation work can be avoided. It is suggested that the signal means be made as flat screens in the form of square or rectangular pieces of plastic sheeting expanded between poles.
