Abstract: A variable displacement compressor the displacement of
which depends on the inclination of a drive plate (50). The
compressor includes a sleeve (18) fitted on a drive shaft
(16). The sleeve (18) supports a pivot joint for supporting
the drive plate (50). The maximum inclination of the drive
plate (50) depends on the distance (Sx) between the pivot
axis of the drive plate (16) and an end that abuts against a
limit stop. Therefore changing the sleeve (18) changes the
maximum displacement. Changing the sleeve (18) does not
alter the balance of the drive plate (50). In compressors
having different displacements, all parts are the same except
for the sleeve (18), which facilitates mass production.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'élaboration de microparticules, de préférence contenant un agent actif. En mode de réalisation préféré, le procédé consiste à préparer (1) une phase dispersée renfermant un agent dans une solution de polymère et un premier solvant; (2) une phase continue renfermant un tensioactif, un second solvant totalement ou partiellement non miscible avec le premier solvant, et suffisamment de premier solvant pour saturer la phase continue; et (3) une phase d'extraction qui est de type non solvant pour le polymère, un solvant pour les composants de la phase continue, et un solvant pour le premier solvant, le premier solvant ayant une solubilité dans la phase d'extraction comprise entre environ 0,1 % et 25 %, en poids. Ensuite, la phase dispersée et la phase continue sont mélangées de manière à former une émulsion, puis l'émulsion est brièvement mélangée avec une quantité appropriée de phase d'extraction pour induire une formation de peau à l'interface des phases dispersée et continue. Le solvant restant est éliminé par évaporation. De préférence, l'émulsification et l'élimination du solvant sont conduites en continu. La brève extraction qui précède l'évaporation réduit au minimum la perte d'agent actif dans les microparticules, et réduit par ailleurs le volume requis de phase d'extraction par rapport aux autres procédés à base d'extraction. L'invention concerne également d'autres procédés d'émulsification et d'élimination de solvant, à savoir par exemple: extraction incrémentielle, extraction cryogénique, ou séparation par membrane, que l'on peut utiliser selon différentes combinaisons pour la réalisation des microparticules.

Abstract: Dans le système décrit, une station de base au moins émet un signal vers une station mobile. Ce signal est émis à l'aide d'une diversité de polarisations, impliquant que ledit signal est émis dans un sens selon deux faisceaux de signaux, chaque faisceau de signaux étant différemment polarisé. Il est possible d'utiliser un mécanisme de saut de faisceau, ce qui entraîne la variation de la polarisation des faisceaux émis pendant un transfert en fonction d'une séquence prédéfinie.
