Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour la fabrication de 2,3-dihalopropanol par réaction de 2,3-dihalopropanal avec un agent d'hydrogénation en présence de catalyseur à métal de transition, selon les conditions nécessaires à l'élaboration du produit. La réaction est particulièrement utile, notamment comme étape (3) ci-dessous dans un procédé d'élaboration propre à l'épihalohydrine, qui comprend généralement 4 étapes: (1) réaction entre un hydrocarbone à 3 carbones et un agent d'oxydation pour obtenir de l'acroléine; (2) réaction entre l'acroléine et un halogène moléculaire pour obtenir le 2,3-dihalopropanal; (3) réduction du 2,3-dihalopropanal pour obtenir le 2,3-dihalopropanol; et (4) cyclisation du 2,3-dihalopropanol pour obtenir l'épihalohydrine. Ce faisant, on utilise uniquement environ une mole d'halogène par mole d'épihalohydrine, et sensiblement moins d'eau qu'avec les techniques existantes.

Title: Piezo-active engine based on independent stator modules
Inventor: CLAEYSSEN FRANK
IPC: H02N2/04
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: The invention discloses a piezo-active engine having a stator equipped with independent stator modules (44), each comprising at least one pair of longitudinal piezo-active actuators (12, 14) colinearly arranged inside a mechanical coupling element (16) in the form of a shell (20). Furthermore, it is mounted by means of decoupling resilient links (68, 70), and comprises a central counter-mass (18). In order to provide a closed trajectory for the summits (A and B) to cause by friction the relative displacement of a driven element on a large stroke range, and to position the driven element, these modules use separately or in combination: a translational deformation, obtained when the piezo-active actuators are deformed in opposite directions and produce a tangential displacement of the summits (A and B) of the shell (20) relative to the counter-mass (18), by means of the mass ratio between the counter-mass and the shell; a flexional deformation, obtained when the piezo-active actuators are deformed in the same way and produce a flexion of the shell (20), causing a normal displacement of the summits A and B.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une bande pour la fabrication du papier, comprenant une couche supérieure (en contact avec la feuille continue) constituée de fils entrelacés de couche supérieure, une couche inférieure (en contact avec la machine) constituée de fils entrelacés de couche inférieure, et plusieurs fils de liaison. Les fils de la couche supérieure comprennent plusieurs fils de support de couche supérieure tissés en une armure avec plusieurs fils de support transversaux de couche supérieure, les premiers étant perpendiculaires aux seconds. Les fils de la couche inférieure comprennent plusieurs fils de support de couche inférieure tissés en une armure avec plusieurs fils de support transversaux de couche inférieure, les premiers étant perpendiculaires aux seconds. La couche supérieure et la couche inférieure sont liées entre elles parallèlement et face à face par plusieurs fils de liaison ayant le sens général des fils de support de couche supérieure, passant sur les fils de support transversaux de couche supérieure, et sous les fils de support transversaux de couche inférieure, dans un motif répété. Lorsque chacun des fils de liaison passe sur au moins un des fils de support transversaux de couche supérieure, et sous au moins un des fils de support transversaux de couche inférieure, chacun des fils de liaison alterne de façon bilatérale autour d'un fil de support de couche supérieure, dans le sens des fils de support transversaux de couche supérieure, formant ainsi une ligne ondulante passant à des intervalles espacés complètement au-dessus du fil de support de couche supérieure autour duquel chacun des fils de liaison alterne.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a fastening tab (20) of a hook and loop fastener system in a storage position on an article, such as a disposable diaper (10). The fastening tab (20) has a first end portion (122) for permanent attachment to the article and a distal end portion (126) provided with projecting hook members (30). The distal end portion (126), in a ready position of the fastening tab, stands free from the article. The distal end portion, in the storage position, contacts a surface of the article. The method includes the steps of attaching the first end portion (122) of the fastening tab (20) to the article, and folding the distal end portion (126) of the fastening tab over the first end portion (122) of the tab such that the hook members (30) contact the surface of the article. In order to improve the contact between the hook members and the article, the hook members (30) of the distal end portion (126) of the fastening tab and the surface of the article are subjected to a relative displacement in a direction substancially parallel to the surface of the article.

Abstract: An amusement ride for catapulting a human rider, enclosed within a capsule, into the air in much the same fashion as ancient armies would hurl large boulders over the walls of castles. The ride provides many of the sensations and thrills encountered by fighter pilots launching from the decks of aircraft carriers without the requirement for flight training or the associated dangers. The ride essentially consists of a siege type catapult and a releasably connected launch pod. When in the launch position, a release mechanism is triggered by the operator and the rider is catapulted into the air at a physiologically safe rate of acceleration along a predictable free-flight arc. When an acceptable elevation is reached, the rider is separated from the capsule and gently brought back to earth using an automatically deploying parachute or similar device. An alternate embodiment envisions the use of a similar device to project a conveyance vehicle along a horizontal track similar to a stone skipping across the water.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus uses an ultrasonic wave to obtain
information on the inner state of a human body without conducting a
surgical operation on the patient. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus
includes a receiving recess (12) so that a patient-use monitor (40) can be connected
with and disconnected from a main body (10). Diagnostic results measured in
the main body (10) are displayed on the patient-use monitor (40) including a support
shaft (44) which can be inserted into the receiving recess. Thus, the patient
can see his or her diagnostic results easily. Since the patient-use monitor (40)
is compatible with other types of ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses having
each receiving recess installed in the main body, the patient-use monitor
can be used in other types of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses.

Abstract: The motor (M) is fed by an AC source (Vs) via a full-wave rectifier (PR) and a triac (TR). Diodes (D1,D2) shunting the field coils (E1,E2) apply the motor's back-EMF to the triac controller (CD) during periods of motor current suppression. The control circuit (CD) includes a setting potentiometer (RA) determining the firing angle and hence the width of the unidirectional triac current pulses received by teh motor, alternating with periods of zero current. During the latter, the diodes (D1,D2) allow circulating current (ID) in the field windings (E1,E2) to generate back-EMF in the rotating motor armature (E1), modifying the voltage across the controller. With speed increases above the value corresponding to the applied setting (RA), triac firing is delayed, while reductions advance it. Variants employ only one free-wheel diode, include an EMC filter and/or the ability to reconnect one field coil in parallel with the armature for braking.
