Patent EP-0402216-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LE CORRE YVES
IPC: B66F11/04
Filed: 1990-06-01
Abstract: Device for the curvilinear motion of an object in contact with a surface, in particular with a convex or complex surface, comprising a vertical support frame (10) disposed in the vicinity of the surface (18) and a support arm constituted by at least one pantograph (1), of which one end (8), integral with the vertical support frame, is displaceable on demand according to the height of the latter and the other end of which carries the object (17) to be displaced without contact and at a good distance from the surface. According to the invention, this device is characterised in that at least of the axes (4) of articulation of the arm of the pantograph (1) is displaced, with the movement of the arm facing the frame (10), in a groove (21) whose profile is homothetic with that of the surface and which is situated in a vertical plane containing the pantograph arm. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to photosensitive sensors, and more especially to multilinear arrays of n lines of cells which operate by carry over and integration of charges; these arrays operate by successive observation of a same image line by the n lines of the array, and by accumulation of the n corresponding observations in the cells of the sensor. 
<??>To avoid the inherent risks of saturation owing to the fact that the electric charges resulting from n observations are accumulated in a same cell, it is proposed according to the invention to make programmable between 1 and n the number of lines between which the carry overs and integrations of charges are actually carried out. This programming is carried out as a function of the mean illumination of the analysed image. To do this, use is made of the electrodes (ES1, ES2) of certain lines of cells, and there is applied to them either the normal charge-carry-over potentials or a blocking potential which isolates from a reading stage (RL, CL) the lines situated beyond this blocking electrode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus ior treat¼ng zinc conccntrates". apparatus for treating zinc concentrates in order to recover zinc. The method comprises an oxidizing and smelting stage (10) and, subsequent to the smelting stage, a fuming stage (20) in which the zinc-oxide­containing slag formed in the smelting stage is so reduced as to remove the metallic zinc with the exhaust gases (28). Part of the reduced slag is discharged during the fuming stage, another part (32) is recirculated to the smelting stage. In accordance with a preferable method, the slag is reduced in two successive fuming stages (20, 40). In an apparatus according to the invention, the slag circulation between the fuming and smelting stages is facilitated by overflows arranged in the partition walls (19) between the various stages.

Abstract: Les composés D.-Talose et D-allose sont des sucres à teneur réduite en calories, qui sont doux au goût, qui ont un volume et qui supportent la caramélisation. Ce type de sucres peut être utilisé efficacement en soi ou combiné à des édulcorants puissants, pour édulcorer une grande variété d'aliments et de produits alimentaires, tout en leur conférant du volume et du corps. Ces composés sont particulièrement appropriés pour être utilisés comme substances sucrantes dans des produits cuits au four, étant donné qu'ils se comportent de façon très similaire au saccharose lorsqu'ils sont soumis à la caramélisation.

Title: Lactide production from dehydration of aqueous lactic acid feed.
Inventor: SINCLAIR RICHARD G
IPC: C09D167/04
Filed: 1991-09-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making L-lactide from aqueous L-lactic acid. Aqueous lactic acid feed for present purposes comprehends an aqueous mixture of one or more of L1A, L2A, and L3A, optionally with LD being present. L-lactic acid is the preferred feed configuration for making L-lactide, and is to be understood even though the configuration symbol is not used throughout this application. Aqueous lactic acid feed is treated for removal of water therefrom until a degree of polymerization (DP) not substantially above about 2 is reached. The treatment then is ceased to produce a crude LD product. LD then is separated from the crude LD product. A preferred treatment involves heating the feed at elevated temperature to remove water. LD can be separated from the crude LD product by a variety of techniques to produce an LD-depleted product. This LD-depleted product, optionally augmented with additional aqueous lactic acid and/or water then can be readmitted to the process for making additional lactide. This cyclic or recycle process embodiment of the present invention enables very high lactide conversions to be realized.

Abstract: The shear-protected plug-in collar connection is intended for mouldings and for socketed pipes (1) which are produced using the centrifugal casting process and in the case of which the tip end (3) of the one pipe can be pushed into the collar end (2) of the other pipe with radial play. Arranged in the collar end are a sealing ring (8) and a clamping ring (14) which is constructed separately therefrom and has a large number of clamping segments (15) which are arranged with a mutual separation in the circumferential direction and have an outer jacket surface (17) of spherical construction and, on their inner surface (18), in each case one tooth system (19) which, when axial forces occur as a result of the interaction of the spherical jacket surface (17) with an inner surface (18) of the pipe collar (which tapers conically to the end), press radially against the tip end (3). An elastomeric retaining part (20), which can be fixed on the collar end and supports it, is integrally formed on the clamping ring (14). A design which ensures correct retention is achieved even in the case of relatively large nominal widths if the annular-disc-shaped section (23) of the retaining part, which comes to rest on the collar end surface (22), comprises in the region of the inner edge of the collar end surface (22) a transition region (26) which is of reinforced construction and has a higher bending strength, and from which the connecting section (24) which leads to the clamping ring (15) originates, and if the collar end surface (22) has, on the inner-edge side, a recess region which is matched to the cross-section of the transition region (26) which is of reinforced construction. In this case, a steel ring (28) which increases the bending strength and can possibly be inserted through an axial insertion gap (29) is allocated to the transition region (26) of the retaining part, which region is of reinforced construction.
