Abstract: The invention relates to blends of polyamides in polyesters, a method for forming such compositions, and to containers made from such compositions. Specifically the compositions have less haze and transparency than previous blends. The blends can be used as passive gas barriers, and/or active oxygen scavengers with the addition of a transition metal catalyst. The invention seeks to obtain balanced refractive indices for the polyamides / polyester compositions. A method to blend the copolyester and polyamides and orient the blend to minimize the haze, thereby forming an oriented article, is also described and claimed. These articles have excellent gas barrier properties.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un frein à friction électromécanique à auto-amplification, comportant une garniture de frein actionnée par déplacement dans le sens de rotation d'un disque de frein, s'appuyant sur une rampe (26) par l'intermédiaire d'un corps de roulement (28). Lorsque le frein à friction est actionné, un disque de frein rotatif exerce une force de friction sur la garniture de frein de manière à comprimer cette dernière en direction d'une fente qui s'amincit entre la rampe et le disque de frein, et crée ainsi une force de compression en plus d'une force de compression exercée par un dispositif d'actionnement. On obtient ainsi un effet d'auto-amplification. Pour éviter un glissement du corps de roulement (28) sur la rampe (26), l'invention on fait appel à une commande forcée, par exemple au moyen d'une roue dentée (38) sur le corps de roulement (28), s'engrenant avec des crémaillères (40, 42).

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-ventilated, ergonomic footwear item and elastomeric sole. According to the invention, both sides of the sole comprise a plurality of longitudinal grooves, in the area corresponding to the sole of the foot, which are essentially parallel to the edge of the sole closest thereto and which have a depth equal to half of the height of the sole. Moreover, the grooves are disposed in an alternating manner in relation to one another on either side of the sole in the form of a bellows-type structure. The upper comprises a perforated elastic laminar body which is disposed beneath the insole in the area corresponding to the sole and the foot and which, together with the sole, forms a chamber having a volume that varies upon walking. In addition, three thick bands are solidly connected to the body and the upper in order to stiffen said elastic laminar body, namely: one longitudinal band and two transverse end bands. In this way the footwear item and the sole adapt perfectly to the anatomy of the foot, enabling same to be automatically ventilated upon walking.

Abstract: In order to operate a low voltage source from a mains voltage power supply, such as an electricity meter, the alternating current (AC) mains voltage must first be converted to direct current (DC). It is common practice in low cost power supplies to make use of a very simple arrangement of components to reduce the high ac voltage to a lower useable dc voltage, such systems operating in a half wave rectification mode to reduce the circuit component numbers. This makes for inefficient DC voltage supplies. The present invention seeks to address a need to increase an amount of available electrical energy to operate the low voltage circuit requirements of an electricity meter without increasing the energy taken from the mains voltage. The present invention provides a power supply of which both cycles of an input alternating current are employed through the use of an inductor based circuit. During the negative half-cycle, current from Diode D32 flows through inductor L31 which stores the energy, which is released by diode D33 during the positive half-cycle. A switch (Q1, see figure 4) may be used to pulse or chop the current so that a smaller, less costly inductor L31 may be used.
