Abstract: Processus de texturation d'un fil frisé de monofilaments à torsion retors; fil ainsi obtenu; tapis fabriqué à partir de ce fil de monofilaments; procédé d'analyse d'images permettant l'analyse de la texture d'une surface; et tapis de type saxony présentant une texture superficielle de confection serrée et caractérisé par ce procédé. Le processus de texturation du fil comprend le réglage de la température et de la teneur en humidité du fil avant son passage dans une boîte frisante. Le procédé d'analyse de la texture d'une surface utilise un modèle à base d'un modèle matriciel de simultanéité de deuxième ordre servant à calculer un ensemble de paramètres de structure destinés à la classification d'images. Selon un mode de réalisation, le procédé consiste à comparer, d'une part un échantillon inconnu d'un tapis de type saxony, et d'autre part un échantillon cible d'un tapis de type saxony présentant une texture superficielle de confection serrée, afin de déterminer si l'échantillon inconnu fait partie d'un tel tapis.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to reduce the design complexity of low-voltage switchgear for the output or distribution of electric power, the switchgear having a guideway in the switchgear cabinet. This aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that the switchgear is fitted, parallel to the rack direction, with cross-struts having guideways for the racks, and also that the guideways are integral with the cross-struts or are integrally stamped from the same material. This aim is also achieved by virtue of the fact that the racks have a floor and, on both sides, below the plane of the floor, an outwards-facing guide edge disposed parallel to the floor plane and integrally joined to the floor. The invention is particularly suitable for low-voltage switchgear with, located in racks, switchgear assemblies such as circuit breakers, motor-protection circuits, other protection circuits, etc., at least the electrical connection between the bus bars and the switchgear being of the plug-in-type.

Abstract: For batchwise biological and eventually chemical purification of soil or waste water there is used a sludge separator tank (3) and a reactor tank (4). The reactor tank (4) comprises a standpipe (9) for draining clear (purified) water (17) through an outlet thereof by means of overpressure provided in the reactor tank (4), preferably an overpressure provided by an air compression means like a side channel fan (19). The overpressure also can be used for removing excess sludge (14) from the reactor tank (4), for instance returning such excess sludge (14) to the sludge separator tank (3).

Abstract: In known identification systems, the detection station transmits a carrier wave which is modulated with tag identification information by a tag. Such systems have the disadvantage that the detection station is not capable of altering information stored in the tag or adding information by means of commands after the station has identified the tag. According to the invention, this is in fact possible because the tag transmits the tag identification information to the station by means of a first modulation method and the station then transmits further information to the tag by means of a second modulation method. In both cases, information is transmitted back and forth in this process by modulating the same carrier wave. In one embodiment, the station first transmits an activation signal by modulating the carrier wave to the tag which, in response thereto, switches on a battery associated with the tag and then emits the tag identification, after which the station sends data to the tag, which has now been identified. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To minimize the amount of setting gas to be gasified and to be introduced into a molding sand containing a gas-settable binder, a metered volume of the setting liquid is injected directly into a gassing plate arranged in front of an opening leading to a cavity containing the molding sand. Heat energy is supplied to the gassing plate to effect gasification of the liquid. A superpure gas then is produced and is directed through the molding sand. Consequently, not only is only a small amount of setting liquid required to set the molding sand but only a small amount of compressed air or other non-reactive gas is required for scrubbing to remove the residual superpure gas from the sand. Therefore, cleaning or removal of the gas from the set molding sand can be performed at a low cost.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of aqueous solutions and gels of chitosan in which chitosan and an acidic chelating agent are dissolved in water. Such solutions can be drastically increased in viscosity or converted into highly viscous gels by adding salts of polyvalent metals and acids in which chitosan is only moderately soluble or is insoluble. From such solutions, salt-like chitosan/chelating agent adducts can be obtained by removing water or by precipitation using an organic solvent.

Abstract: Use of shock waves instead of a stirrer for mixing the reactants gives a particularly uniform, spherical Ziegler catalyst. This highly active catalyst based on a dialkyl magnesium compound can be used in the polymerisation of alpha-olefins to give spherical polymers. A further advantage of the novel catalyst is the high catalyst activity, so that only very small amounts of the catalyst are necessary for the polymerisation. The residual titanium and/or zirconium content in the polymers prepared in accordance with the invention is less than 10 ppm. Its good hydrogen activity means that the catalyst is particularly suitable in two-step processes for the preparation of polymers having a broad, bimodal molecular weight distribution. Replacement of sulphur-containing electron donors, such as diethyl sulphite, by alcohols, such as ethanol, results in less odour nuisance and an expanded range of applications of the polymer. This spherical shape of the particles and the consequent very good flow properties of the polymers and copolymers mean considerable simplifications and advantages during handling, drying and processing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dual cartridge system for purifying water supplied to a dental unit and dynamic dental instrument has two disposable elements, each having an iodinated anionic exchange resin containing a continuous fixed-rate release iodinated resin I(n). Iodine is released from the resin at a specified and consistent rate as water passes through the resin to maintain dental water purity. One cartridge is located in the dental unit water supply tubing. A second cartridge is located in the water supply tubing adjacent the connection to the water supply system. The iodinated biocidal resin in each cartridge neutralizes and kills disease-causing bacteria, virus, protozoa, aspirated oral flora and prevents microbial back-growth to eliminate cross-infection between dental patients.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing and removing and ophthalmic lens of a mammalian eye. The system includes a rotary lens-reducing probe device of either straight or curved configuration, the probe device comprising a tubular outer sheath through which a rotatable drive shaft extends. A rotating lens-reducing head member is positioned on the distal end of the drive shaft. The head member is configured and constructed to draw a flow of fluid and lens matter into contact therewith, thereby facilitating complete reduction of the entire lens without requiring significant axial (i.e., longitudinal) movement of the probe within the lens capsule. The distal portion of the tubular sheath is preferably configured to shield a portion of the lens-reducing head, during operation, to avoid inadvertent damage to lens capsule. Also, the distal portion of the sheath may be aimed or positioned to direct the flow of fluid and lens matter created by the rotating head in a preferred flow path within the lens capsule. The device may incorporate infusion and/or aspiration for infusing and/or withdrawing fluid and/or debris into/from the eye.

Abstract: The invention relates to the identification of the molecular basis of Williams syndrome. More specifically, the invention has identified that elastin causes or is involved in the pathogenesis of Williams syndrome. Molecular variants of the elastin gene contribute to Williams syndrome. The analysis of the elastin gene will provide an early diagnosis of subjects with Williams syndrome. The diagnostic method comprises analysing the DNA sequence of the elastin gene of an individual to be tested and comparing it with the DNA sequence of the native, non-variant elastin gene. In a second embodiment, the elastin gene of an individual to be tested is screened for mutations associated with Williams syndrome. Presymptomatic diagnosis of Williams syndrome will enable practitioners to prevent vascular obstruction using existing medical therapies like beta adrenergic blocking agents.
