Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un dispositif et un procédé pyrotechnique d'extinction d'incendie, notamment en cas d'incendie de forêt ou d'incendie en nappe. Le dispositif d'extinction comprend deux tuyaux (1, 2) flexibles installés côte à côte et transversalement par rapport à la direction d'où vient le danger (5) et pouvant être fermés aux deux extrémités, ainsi que, à l'intérieur de chacun de ces tuyaux ou sur chacun d'eux, un produit d'extinction (3, 4) dont la mise à feu provoque la pulvérisation en le précipitant dans l'incendie. Pour garantir un jet ciblé du produit d'extinction en direction du danger, il est prévu que l'impulsion (I1) partant du premier tuyau (1) tourné dans le sens inverse à celui d'où vient le danger, est plus forte que l'impulsion (I2) venant du tuyau orienté dans le sens d'où vient le danger. Pour les différentes sections de tuyaux (2), on calcule les quantités d'explosifs en fonction du diamètre du tuyau tourné vers le danger, compte tenu de la densité  rho  du produit d'extinction d'après la formule selon l'invention.

Abstract: A glassy metal alloy consists essentially of the formula Fe a Co b Ni c M d B e Si f C g, where "M" is at least one member selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, chromium and manganese, "a-g" are in atom percent, "a" ranges from about 19 to about 29, "b" ranges from about 16 to about 42, "c" ranges from about 20 to about 40, "d" ranges from about 0 to about 3, "e" ranges from about 10 to about 20, "f" ranges from about 0 to about 9 and "g" ranges from about 0 to about 3. The alloy can be cast by rapid solidification into ribbon, annealed to enhance magnetic properties, and formed into a marker that is especially suited for use in magneto-mechanically actuated article surveillance systems. Advantageously, the marker is characterized by substantially linear magnetization response to an applied magnetic field in the frequency regime wherein harmonic marker systems operate magnetically. Voltage amplitudes detected for the marker are high, and interference between surveillance systems based on mechanical resonance and harmonic re-radiance is virtually eliminated.

Abstract: A data collection and evaluation method for determination of wireless signal propagation from an incomplete set of measured data. The present invention decodes digital identification information on the channel used to associate the measurement with a wireless antenna and/or sector. The decoding process is limited by interference and low signal levels, therefore, the resulting data will have locations or entire areas where digital identification codes cannot be determined and the signal origination antenna cannot be identified. The present invention introduces geostatistical data interpretation techniques to determine the signal level values at the missing measurement locations. The present invention can obtain a more complete set of data for all sectors in the data collection area, allowing for more accurate performance evaluation and greater planning information. The present invention teaches the application of variogram modeling and kriging for wireless signal propagation modeling.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for converting lower alkanes an d alkenes to the corresponding lower alkanols and diols. In the methods of the present invention, a gaseous halogen, preferably bromine, is produced by decomposing a metal halide in a liquid having a melting point below and a boiling point above the decomposition temperature of the metal halide. The preferred liquid is molten, hydrated ferric chloride maintained at a temperature between about 37-280 .degree.C. The lower alkane or alkene is halogenated in a gas phase reaction with the produced halogen. The alkyl halide or alkyl dihalide is contacted with a metal hydroxide, preferably an aqueous solution of ferric hydroxide, to regenerate the metal halide and produce the corresponding lower alkanol or diol. The present invention is particularly efficient for converting methane to methanol using ferric bromide to provide the halogen.
