Title: Procede et systeme d'echantillonnage et de determination de la presence de contaminants dans des matieres plastiques recyclables
Inventor: MALASPINA ALEX
IPC: G01N21/90
Filed: 1995-05-30
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de contrôle pour l'échantillonnage et la détection de la présence de déchets contaminants dans des matières plastiques à recycler provenant d'objets usagés en plastique tels que des bouteilles en plastique pour boissons ou des récipients en plastique pour produits alimentaires. Le système est équipé d'un renifleur de produits chimiques ou d'un analyseur optique détectant les contaminants lors du défilement rapide des objets en plastique sur un convoyeur devant une série de postes. Les récipients recyclés pour produits alimentaires ou boissons passent dans un déchiqueteur en ligne avec le convoyeur, après quoi la matière plastique déchiquetée passe dans un laveur. La chaîne de traitement permet de vérifier, en n'importe lequel de ses points, la présence de contaminants parmi les bouteilles et les matières déchiquetées. Avec le système utilisé comme exemple, les bouteilles sont testées avant d'entrer dans le déchiqueteur, de sorte que les bouteilles contenant des contaminants grossiers soient éliminées. Dans un deuxième temps, on profite immédiatement de la chaleur élevée de la matière déchiquetée pour rechercher des contaminants et à séparer les matières contaminés des matières non contaminées. Dans un troisième temps, on profite de la chaleur élevée des particules issues du laveur pour rechercher les particules provoquant l'émission de vapeurs de contaminants. Les particules contaminées sont de nouveau séparées des particules non contaminées qui peuvent alors servir à la fabrication de nouvelles bouteilles plastiques pour boissons ou produits alimentaires.

Abstract: A car remote control system utilizing a signal in the form of electromagnetic wave or infrared ray called 'keyless entry'. When receiving a predetermined wake-up signal (A), an MPU (11) is once operated even when the received input signal is a noise signal to perform only judging operation of whether or not the input signal is normal. Only when judging that the input signal is a normal wake-up signal (A), the MPU (11) controllably causes an electronic circuit to be shifted to a usual operation mode. When judging that the input signal is the noise signal prior to full input of the tuner signal, the MPU immediately shifts to a sleep mode. Thereby current consumption of an electronic control circuit can be suppressed.

Abstract: A purging agent which contains an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and satisfies the conditions specified by the equations (1) and (2) below.                           (1)       20 ≥        BT       (120)        ≥ 0.1                           (2)       500 ≥        BT       (250)       /       BT       (120)        ≥ 1.5                                   (where  BT   (120)  is weight loss (%) on heating in nitrogen at 120°C for 24 hours, and  BT   (250)  is weight loss (%) on heating in nitrogen at 250°C for 6 hours.) 
     The purging agent rapidly discharges residual thermoplastic resin from the molding equipment for a thermoplastic resin containing EVOH and also rapidly discharges itself when a fresh resin is fed again to the equipment. This leads to a remarkable reduction in loss due to residual purging agent. In addition, the purging agent causes only a small amount of resin to stick to the equipment even after repeated purging. After purging, it is possible to restore normal operation within a short time.

Abstract: A vector block information indicating a plurality of line
segment rows is read out from a block map. Each line segment
row divides an area of a block from an area of a road in an
image drawing region. Each point at which one end of a line
segment row contacts with a boundary line of the image drawing
region is set as a boundary point. In this case, a road
crossing the boundary line of the image drawing region is
indicated by a pair of line segment rows having a pair of
boundary points close to each other. To determine an area of
the road, the pair of boundary points are connected with each
other through a connecting line segment. Therefore, a road
area in the image drawing region can be automatically
extracted from the block map. In addition, an end area of the
road placed at the boundary line of the image drawing region
is reshaped to have two right-angle corners at the end area of
the road, a length of a road area at the boundary line of the
image drawing region is shortened, an area of a narrow road is
deleted from the road area, an area of a narrow road is
widened, or a plurality of blocks placed in an administrative
district is unified by deleting areas of a plurality of roads
dividing the blocks.
