Inventor: GARCIA ELSON
IPC: D01F6/18
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: "FIOS E FIBRAS ACRìLICOS POROSOS, COM ELEVADO PODER DE RETENçãO DE áGUA E PROCESSO PARA SUA OBTENçãO." Refere-se a presente invenção a fios e fibras acrílicos porosos, com elevado poder de retenção de água, compreendido entre 20 a 50%, bem como à modificação do processo convencional para sua obtenção. Esses fios e fibras absorventes apresentam grande interesse na fabricação de roupas esportivas, roupas íntimas, toalhas, rolos para pintura, panos para limpeza etc. A modificação no processo consiste na adição de um segundo material polimérico à poliacrilonitrila, durante o processo de preparação da solução de fiação. Tais materiais podem ser poliacetato de vinila, ou acetato de celulose, ou poliestireno ou poliestireno/acrilonitrila, na forma de homopolímeros ou copolímeros, em proporção variando entre 1 e 20% da massa de polímero total. As fibras assim obtidas são utilizáveis sozinhas ou em mistura com outras fibras para aplicações têxteis. Elas se caracterizam fisicamente por apresentar uma baixa densidade e alta capacidade de absorção e de retenção de umidade, o que diminui o peso e a sensação de encharcamento da roupa, tornando-a muito mais confortável.

Title: Prodn method for laminated plastic tube by injection
Inventor: CARLOS FRADERA PELLICER
IPC: B29C41/22
Filed: 1969-08-20
Abstract: Plastic tubes are made by a process which comprises several interconnected phases. Between them a succession of concentric layers are sprayed into a rotating tubular mould. The first layer is a synthetic resin base, after which comes at least one layer of a mixture of resins and cut glass or similar fibres as a reinforcing layer. Finally, there is another layer of a resin base. The layers are set solid one on the other by aligning the fibres in a set direction. This entire process results in tubes being made by depositing material inside the moulds. The material is held in place prior to hardening by centrifugal action. - Tubes so formed are free of the faults formed in normal production.

Title: Determining the position of a vehicle
Inventor: APPENRODT NILS
IPC: G01S13/86
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: The position of a motor vehicle is determined in relation to the travel lane. It comprises the steps of integrating information from a digital road map, a navigation system such as Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and a distance resolving sensor such as radar, LIDAR or an active infra red sensor. To determine the spacing from the road edge, the signature and distance-related course of the received signal of the distance resolving sensor are evaluated. The road edge is detected when there is a sudden increase/change in the amplitude of the received signal. The evaluation can also be polarisation sensitive as the signatures of road surfaces and the textures of the road edge differ significantly. A gyroscopic system may also be integrated to better determine the orientation of the vehicle on the road. The system could also be controlled to interpret the traffic scene.

Title: Overflow chamber
Inventor: WILLIAMS CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: E03F5/14
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: An overflow chamber (2), particularly for use in a combined sewer overflow, comprises an inlet (12) and an outlet (14) below a screen (20) and an overflow outlet (15) disposed above the screen; baffles (26) are provided that extend across the general flow direction between the inlet and outlet. The baffles preferably extend vertically downwards from the screen approximately three times the depth of the screen, stopping short of the floor (16). The flow cross section of the outlet may be smaller than that of the inlet. In storm conditions the flow level rises up above the screen, the screen prevents solids material from passing, such that only water reaches the overflow outlet, and the baffles modify the flow pattern below the screen causing a swirling motion, such that a reverse flow occurs across the underside of the screen. The swirling motion acts to clean any material deposited on the screen preventing blockage or blinding.
