Abstract: The invention concerns a roller skating shoe with a shell (1) provided with a shaft (8) mounted so as to pivot. The sole (2) is provided with a mount (3) comprising two parallel tracks (4) in which several rollers (5) aligned substantially in one plane can be mounted so as to rotate. A brake unit (11, 11', 11", 111, 111', 111", 121) is provided within the confines of the mount (3) and is connected to the shoe shaft (8). In order to ensure easy and reliable braking with a roller skate shoe of this type, it is proposed that the brake unit (11, 11', 11", 111, 111', 111", 121) should be mounted in the tracks (4) so as to be capable of sliding along the longitudinal line of the latter, and that the brake unit should be provided in the vicinity of at least one roller (5) with opposing walls which close on one another and can be brought into contact with the side walls of a roller (5) during axial displacement; the brake unit (11, 11', 11", 111, 111', 111", 121) is in operating connection with the shoe shaft (8) via a transmission member (10, 10', 10", 110).

Abstract: L'invention présente un procédé et un dispositif de traitement à chaud de granulat, un séchoir de granulat (10), par exemple, du type à brûleur (12) et tambour rotatif (14), conçu pour précipiter le granulat dans une voie d'écoulement à flux thermique et vaporiser l'humidité qu'il contient. Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte plusieurs malaxeurs (42) mélangeant en toute sécurité un combustible et un oxydant pour constituer un prémélange qui est envoyé dans une chambre de réaction (56). Une fois brûlé, ce prémélange est remis en circulation dans la chambre de réaction (56) de sorte qu'une combustion uniforme et complète soit assurée et que de faibles émissions d'agents polluant tels que le monoxyde de carbone, des composés organiques volatils et des oxydes d'azote soient produites ainsi qu'un ronflement à la combustion plus faible. On obtient, du fait de cette combustion uniforme et complète, un profil thermique plus uniforme dans le tambour rotatif (14), ce qui permet d'accroître la quantité de granulat traité et se solde par une consommation d'énergie plus faible. Cette invention présente également une particularité dite d'accordabilité permettant de faire varier l'approvisionnent du brûleur en combustible et d'empêcher les vibrations en résonance produites par la confrontation des fréquences de combustion et de la fréquence naturelle du dispositif de traitement.

Abstract: The invention concerns a biodegradable starch composition, a process for the preparation thereof, the use of the composition and a process for increasing the degradation rate of intermediate products manufactured from starch derivatives and/or products made therefrom under conditions of biodegradation. According to the invention the composition contains 5 to 99 wt-% of a plastisized starch derivative and 1 to 95 wt-% of a biodegradable fibrous material. The microstructure of the composition is discontinuous and formed by a phase containing the starch derivate and a phase containing the fibrous material and any porosity, and its impact strength is at least 10 % better than the corresponding values of a plastisized starch derivative. The composition may further contain 0.01 to 30 wt.% of a biodegradable polyester, such as polylactide, polycaprolactone or a cellulose ester. According to the invention, the biodegradable starch composition is prepared by esterification of starch with glycerol in order to form a mixture containing starch acetate and acetic acid and then the mixture is blended with a biodegradable fibrous material for producing a composition which has a discontinuous microstructure. The invention provides a melt processible composition having good water resistance and mechanical properties which can be regulated by changing the relative amounts and the qualities of the components of the composition.

Abstract: Preparation of an aqueous solution of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and-glutaraldehyde (GA) comprises converting an acetal of OPA in a 10-60% aqueous GA solution to OPA by eliminating the corresponding alcohol at room temperature to 100 degrees C and removing the alcohol. Preferably the acetal is a tetraalkyl-acetal or a dialkoxyphthalan with 1-4C atoms in each alkoxy group. A 30-55 wt.% aqueous GA solution is used. The acetal is added in an amount giving an OPA content of 1-30, especially 1-10 wt.% in the aqueous GA solution. Reaction is carried out at normal pressure to 300 mbar, especially normal pressure to 200 mbar. During removal of the alcohol by distillation, water is added to maintain a constant GA concentration.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for forming a ceramic coating on a valve metal selected from the group consisting of aluminium, zirconium, titanium, hafnium and alloys of these metals. The process includes immersing the metal as an electrode in an electrolytic bath comprising an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide, providing an opposite electrode immersed in or containing the electrolyte liquid, passing a modified shaped-wave alternate electric current from a high voltage source of at least 700 V through a surface of the metal to be coated and the opposite electrode, wherein the modified shaped-wave electric current rises from zero to its maximum height and falls to below 40% of its maximum height within less than a quarter of a full alternating cycle, thereby causing dielectric breakdown, heating, melting, and thermal compacting of a hydroxide film formed on the surface of the metal to form and weld a ceramic coating to the metal, and changing the composition of the electrolyte while the ceramic coating is being formed, the change being effected by adding an oxyacid salt of an alkali metal. The invention also provides apparatus for carrying out this method.

The shaped articles so produced exhibit a combination of properties including an elastic modules between about 500 MPA and about 800 MPA, a yield strength equal to or greater than about 20 Mpa, an elongation to rupture of greater than about 300%, crystallinity and density less than or equal to about that of the native powdered UHMWPE used to form the part and a melting point less than or equal to about that of native UHMWPE powder that has experienced melting and cooling at ambient pressure. The shaped articles are useful as the bearing surface of total knee joints, prosthetic hip joint cups and as other prosthetic shapes for replacement of other joints of the human body.
