Patent EP-1461377-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LOSHAK IGOR
IPC: G02B1/10
Filed: 2002-12-30
Abstract: Methods for improved adhesion of an optical coating to a polarizing film incorporated onto an optical-quality plastic construct are disclosed. Preferred methods include treating a surface of the film by mechanical and/or chemical means and applying an optical coating to the treated film for effecting a coated, polarized optical-quality plastic part. Such mechanical and chemical means include exposing the polarizing film to a caustic solution at a concentration greater than or equal to 10%, roughening the surface of the film in a uniform manner, and utilizing plasma exposure to peen the surface and then chemically modify it. A particularly preferred technique involves uniform physical roughening, namely, forming grooves having a substantially uniform direction substantially aligned with the axis of light absorption, exposing this roughened surface to a caustic solution having a concentration of 10% or greater, and then dipping the roughened surface into an overcoat solution and withdrawing it substantially perpendicular to the direction of the grooves.

IPC: F02D41/16

Abstract: An internal combustion engine (1) is provided with a three-way catalytic converter (16) which purifies exhaust gas, a spark plug (6) which ignites a gaseous mixture and a throttle (11) which regulates an intake air flow rate. When the engine (1) is started, the ignition timing of the spark plug (6) is retarded based on the difference of the rotation speed  Ne  from a target idle rotation speed  Net.  If the engine rotation speed  Ne  is higher than the target idle rotation speed even after the ignition timing has reached a retard limit, the ignition timing is fixed to the retard limit and the intake air flow rate is reduced through the throttle (11), thereby forcing the engine rotation speed  Ne  to converge rapidly to the target idling rotation speed  Net  while maintaining the ignition timing at the retard limit to ensure rapid temperature increase in the converter (16).

Abstract: The method of obtaining collagen as above, is characterized by this, that the process of cleaning the skins is done manually using tools made of natural materials such as glass and wood to remove from the skins scales, skills and meat tissue so prepared raw material is placed in a solution of lactic acid of 0.1 to 1.5% concentration, obtaining hydration of collagen contained in the skins. The hydration process is carried out in glass containers, in the temperature from 15 to 20° C., for 24 to 48 hours, conducting a running visual control of the process. Next follows an operation of filtration using silk filters of increasing density. By repeated filtering the cell elements, pigments and remains of the acid solution are removed from collagen. The natural silk filters have a structure similar to the structure of collagen, which prevents damage to the collagen structure.
