Abstract: A poly(carbonate-co-ester) block copolymer is synthesized using synthetic strategies that can be incorporated into conventional melt facilities that are commonly used in the production of polycarbonate polymers. The polycarbonate block of the poly(carbonate-co-ester) copolymer is derived from a polycarbonate reaction mixture comprising an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a carbonic acid diester, such as bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate, respectively. The second block of the copolymer is derived from a polyester prepolymer, the polyester prepolymer comprising a diol, diacid or diester, and at least one monomer that is selected to advantageously incorporate desired properties into the poly(carbonate-co-ester) copolymer. The polyester prepolymer is introduced to the polycarbonate reaction mixture to form the poly(carbonate-co-ester) copolymer. Properties of the copolymer can be altered by varying numerous conditions of the reaction.

Abstract: La sonde ultrasonore une zone de réception (2) composée de multiples récepteurs de signal (4), située entre deux zones d'émission (1). Pour évaluer la vitesse de propagation du signal le long d'une interface à ausculter, par exemple la surface d'un os, on évalue le temps de parcours du signal sur une distance correspondant à l'écart entre récepteurs. Pour cela, on mesure ce temps Δt+ et Δt- pour des tirs provenant des deux zones d'émission, et on prend comme temps réel approché F(I).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the ozone treatment of unground plant materials such as wheat grains. According to the invention, this process consists in allowing the plant material to stand for at least one day after a prehumidification followed by an ozonization involving a complementary humidification that adds from 3 to 10% by weight of water, based on the dry weight of the plant material. This process is applied especially to wheat grains. In this case, a process according to the invention that enables the ozone to reach the core of the grains is carried out in order to manufacture so-called "technological" flours. The physical and chemical properties of such flours, observed as a function of the parameters of the ozonization process, are presented.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de déterminer une composante de signal de capteur de courants de Foucault attribuable à un substrat. On place un substrat dans une première position par rapport au capteur, à une première distance du capteur. Le substrat peut comporter un film conducteur sur une première surface. On peut ensuite inverser sa position pour lui donner une second position par rapport au capteur, à une seconde distance du capteur égale à la première moins environ une épaisseur du substrat. On détecte un second signal de capteur pour la seconde position. Un signal de différence est alors déterminé. Ce signal équivaut à la différence entre un premier niveau de signal sur une courbe d'étalonnage pour le capteur et le second niveau de signal, lequel est décalé d'une distance environ égale à l'épaisseur du substrat. Une première composante de substrat du premier signal de capteur est alors calculée. Cette composante équivaut au produit de la première distance et du signal de différence, divisé par l'épaisseur du substrat.
