Abstract: Nanograined tungsten carbide particles are formed by a controlled, simultaneous reduction carburization reaction wherein the kinetics of the carburization and reduction reactions are controlled to permit simultaneous reduction and carburization. The kinetics are controlled by reacting a reduction carburization gas mixture, preferably hydrogen and carbon monoxide by slowly increasing the reaction temperature by controlling the rate of temperature increase. Preferably, the reaction temperature will be increased less than 25 DEG C per minute, preferably about 1-2 degrees per minute, which prevents the formation of stable, undesirable species such as W2C, which in tum interferes with the reaction efficiency.

Abstract: The method involves compressing a coolant mixture in a pre-final stage (1A) through a series of stages of a compression unit (1). The mixture is condensed partially by cooling, and then is separated to produce a vapour fraction and a liquid fraction. The vapour fraction is cooled and partially condensed, and then passed through a final compression stage (1C) to obtain a high-pressure vapour. Part of the high-pressure vapour fraction and liquid fraction is then cooled, expanded and circulated through a first heat exchanger (5). During the vapour fraction's cooling and partial condensation stage, the vapour fraction obtained from the separation of the condensed mixture is cooled by passing it through a second heat exchanger (18) with the coolant. The condensed mixture is separated in a first separator (14). The vapour fraction from it is condensed in the second heat exchanger, and then passed through a second separator (15) to produce a vapour and a liquid fraction. The vapour fraction is sent to the final compression stage, and the liquid fraction to the first heat exchanger.

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced resin pipe (10) fittings have a structural pipe wall (12) formed from helically wound reinforcing fiber that is bonded together with a polymer resin. An intermediate layer (16) is disposed around the structural pipe wall, and a fiber-reinforced resin layer (18) is disposed around the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is formed from material selected from the group consisting of impact attenuating and impact absorbing materials. The fiber-reinforced resin layer comprises layers of helically wound reinforcing fiber bonded together with a polymer resin. The materials selected to form the fiber-reinforced resin layer can be the same or different from that used to form the structural pipe wall. The pipe may comprise a single intermediate and fiber-reinforced layer disposed around the structural pipe wall, or may comprise an impact resistant jacket disposed around the structural pipe wall, wherein the jacket is made up of alternating intermediate and fiber-reinforced resin layers. Fiber-reinforced resin pipes, constructed according to the principles of this invention, have improved impact resistance when compared to conventionally constructed fiber-reinforced resin pipes.

Abstract: A light beam is directed from a light source through an air sample so that portions of the beam will be scattered if any particles are present in the path of the beam. A beam blocking device on the opposite side of the air sample is arranged to block all light except light scattered in a predetermined angular range corresponding to a predetermined allergen particle size range. A light focusing lens in front of the light source is arranged to focus the unscattered part of the light beam onto the blocking device. Light transmitted through the blocking device is detected by a light detector and an alarm output signal is produced if the detected amount of light is above a predetermined level. The signal may be used to activate filtering or air conditioning devices.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé favorisant l'entière polymérisation de compositions résineuses hautement blindées contre les radiations actiniques, notamment de plastiques renforcés aux fibres de carbone (CFRP), par seule irradiation aux UV. Ce procédé consiste à utiliser un système initiateur de photopolymérisation spécifique (à savoir, un système catalyseur de réaction) comportant au moins deux composants. En irradiant, suivant ce procédé, une composition résineuse avec une radiation actinique représentée par des UV, une première énergie différente de l'énergie provenant de la radiation actinique est spontanément générée dans la résine, cette première énergie entraînant de manière continue la génération d'une seconde énergie du même type que la première. La composition résineuse peut ainsi être polymérisée par les première et seconde énergies, ou alors, par ces énergies là et une énergie provenant de la radiation actinique, indépendamment du fait que la composition résineuse contienne des blindages contre les radiations actiniques ou non.
