Patent EP-0592505-A1 (EP)
Title: Optical fibres
Inventor: BARKER PHILIP ALFRED
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1992-07-01
Abstract: An optical fibre package suitable for installation using a fibre blowing process comprises at least one optical fibre, an inner coating about said fibre, and an outer resin coating about said inner coating, said resin coating including a significant plurality of particulate inclusions at least 10  mu m across, wherein the concentration of the particulate inclusions is significantly greater at the outer surface of the resin coating than at the inner limit of the resin coating. The inclusions may be hollow glass microspheres or mica flakes. The relative absence of significant particulate inclusions at the inner limit of the resin coating improves the mechanical performance of the fibre package relative to similar known packages. The presence of significant inclusions at the outer surface of the resin coating tends, during a blowing process, to increase viscous drag effects and to reduce friction between the package and the duct into which the package is blown, thereby enhancing blowability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Procédé amélioré de production d'anhydride maléique par oxydation catalytique d'un hydrocarbure non aromatique ayant au moins quatre atomes de carbone en chaîne linéaire, selon lequel un gaz contenant de l'oxygène et de l'hydrocarbure est passé à travers un lit catalytique fixé dans un réacteur tubulaire. L'activité du lit catalytique est échelonnée de telle manière qu'il est possible de faire fonctionner le réacteur à une concentration d'hydrocarbure initiale (gaz d'alimentation) supérieure à 1,5 % en volume, à une différence de température moyenne intégrée entre le gaz et le liquide de refroidissement d'au moins environ 15 °C sur la partie du lit dans laquelle la température du gaz dépasse la température du liquide de refroidissement et à un rendement d'au moins environ 5,0 livres d'anhydride maléique par heure, sans que la différence de température entre le gaz et le liquide de refroidissement ne dépasse 80 °C n'importe où dans le lit catalytique pendant la durée de la réaction. De préférence, l'activité du catalyseur et la perméabilité du lit au gaz varient dans la direction du flux de gaz si bien que l'activité du catalyseur et la baisse de pression par unité de distance sont toutes deux plus basses, dans une région critique où la combinaison de la température et de la concentration d'hydrocarbure pourrait autrement provoquer un emballement de la réaction, qu'elles ne le sont dans une région de faible température et de faible concentration d'hydrocarbure. Des améliorations importantes et inattendues du rendement du réacteur sont obtenues en combinant une charge de catalyseur échelonnée et l'incorporation d'un composé organo-phosphore modifiant le catalyseur dans la charge d'hydrocarbure.

Abstract: On décrit des dispositifs de perfusion osmotique de médicaments comportant des parois d'un matériau poreux hydrophobe qui constitue le seul facteur limitatif de diffusion au sein de cette paroi. Malgré des pores beaucoup plus grands que les dimensions moléculaires des substances non volatiles placées dans le dispositif, malgré des pores qui, étant hydrophobes, interdisent le passage de l'eau liquide et malgré l'absence d'une membrane cellulosique semi-perméable, ces dispositifs absorbent l'eau par osmose sans perte de substances non volatiles et fonctionnent de manière analogue aux pompes osmotiques existantes. Utilisant des substances hydrophobes comme matériau de paroi, l'invention permet de fabriquer ces dispositifs entièrement à l'aide de matériaux biodégradables.

Abstract: Procédé de traitement d'une surface avec une composition pulvérisée renfermant du bitume, dans lequel on forme une membrane. Dans ce procédé on utilise une charge de matériau brut de bitume qu'on chauffe à 140°C, et une charge alcaline d'eau de mélange qu'on chauffe ensemble et qu'on mélange ensuite pour former un mélange/émulsion mélangé, puis on pompe ensuite ces charges lorsque c'est nécessaire par une première ligne de distribution vers une première tête de distribution; et une autre charge d'eau qu'on traite pour l'acidifier et qui est pompée le long d'une deuxième ligne de distribution vers une deuxième tête de distribution; les deux première et deuxième têtes de distribution étant positionnées à proximité l'une de l'autre et placées de manière à diriger les écoulements respectifs de mélange mélangé et d'eau acide pour qu'ils aboutissent l'un sur l'autre en aval des têtes de distribution afin de former une pulvérisation dispersée qu'on applique ensuite sur la surface devant être traitée et qui durcit ensuite rapidement pour former une membrane sur ladite surface. Le procédé de cette invention et les composants de la composition de pulvérisation permettent d'appliquer des revêtements bitumineux sans avoir à les appliquer à des températures élevées comme c'est le cas actuellement dans les applications de revêtement à fortes températures d'asphalte bitumineux.

Abstract: A quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) communication system is provided in which data can be communicated in any one of a plurality of QAM modes, such as 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM (30). A receiver (70) detects the particular QAM mode transmitted on a trial and error basis, by attempting to decode the received data using different QAM modes until a synchronization condition is detected. The synchronization condition can require that a plurality of different synchronization tests be met. In a specific embodiment, a first synchronization test is met when a renormalization rate of a trellis decoder (90) is below a threshold value. A second synchronization test is met when a first synchronization word is detected in the received data. A third and final synchronization test is met when a second synchronization word is detected in the received data. In order to reduce the cost of the receiver, most of the QAM mode dependent components (76, 80, 84, 90, 98, 102) are implemented using look-up tables stored in PROMs.

IPC: G01N15/08

Abstract: A process is provided for rapidly and non-destructively evaluating the particle retention characteristics of porous membranes using a novel liquid-porosimetric technique. A ratio of two membrane permeabilities is measured at preselected operating conditions using a pair of mutually immiscible fluids, one of which is employed as a membrane wetting agent and the other used as an intrusion fluid. The first operating condition, a particular transmembrane pressure, is chosen so as to selectively intrude those pores accessible to a given sized particle, such as a virus. The second operating condition, either a second preselected transmembrane pressure or a water permeability measurement, is chosen such that nearly all of the membrane pores are intruded. The ratio of the two permeabilities obtained with each set of operating conditions is thus the percentage of total flow through the membrane pores accessible to a given sized particle. By experimentally measuring this permeability ratio on membranes with known particle retention behavior, a calibration curve relating the permeability ratio to the particle retention characteristics can be constructed. From this standard correlation, the particle retention capabilities of an unchallenged membrane can be predicted in a non-destructive manner solely by measuring its permeability ratio.

Abstract: An abrasive composite is presented having a controlled rate of erosion, the composite comprising abrasive particles dispersed in the binder, wherein the binder comprises an addition polymerized resin having clay particles dispersed therein. Previously known abrasive composites do not abrade in a controlled fashion. The inventive abrasive composite may be adhered to various substrates, including paper, cloth, polymeric films, and nonwovens. The clay particles allow the binder, and thus the composite, to controllably erode upon abrasion of a workpiece, thus exposing fresh abrasive particles to the workpiece. Coatable compositions comprising clay particles dispersed in a binder precursor composition, and optionally containing abrasive particles, are also described, as well as methods of making and using the composites and articles.
