Abstract: In a process for the continuous production of crosslinked, finely-divided gel polymers by co polymerisation of water-soluble mono-unsaturated monomers and poly-unsaturated comonomers in a multi-screw mixer-kneader, at least 5% of the heat of reaction is removed by evaporation of water, at least 25% with the product and the rest by cooling the reactor.  A process for the continuous production of crosslinked, finely-divided gel polymers (I) involves the co polymerisation of (a) water-soluble mono-unsaturated monomers, (b) 0.001-5 mol% (based on a) monomers with at least two ethylenic double bonds and (c) 0-20 mol% water-insoluble mono-unsaturated monomers in 20-80 wt% aqueous solution in presence of initiators at 0-140degreesC, by feeding the monomer solution with the initiator and inert gas into a mixer-kneader with at least two parallel rotating shafts fitted with several kneading and transporting elements to move the materials through the mixer. In this process, at least 5% of the heat of reaction is removed by evaporation of water from the reaction mixture, at least 25% is removed with the product and the rest is removed by cooling the reactor walls.

Abstract: A signal detector for detecting electrically charges particles in a gaseous medium has an electrode (21) a tip region of which gathers the particles. The electrode is connected to a voltage source for applying a voltage that generates an electro-static field around the electrode so as to attract the particles thereto. An output from the electrode provides an output representative of the number of particles detected. At least part of the tip region of the electrode has a radius of curvature which is sufficiently small (or in the case of a pointed tip or edge of a pointed tip or edge infinitesimal) to create, in use, a localised high intensity electro-static field which defines a detection zone in which, in use, charge particles are accelerated by the electric field to an extent sufficient to ionise gas molecules in the zone and thus amplify the signal received by the detector. The detector is suitably suitable for detecting secondary electrons in a scanning electron microscope since only electrons which have collisions in the detection zone will give rise tot he amplified signal, and backscattered electrons will generally tend to travel through the zone without having any such collision.

Abstract: An electrosurgical medical device and method for creating thermal welds in engaged tissue. In one embodiment, at least one jaw of the instrument defines a tissue engagement plane carrying a conductive-resistive matrix of a conductively-doped nonconductive elastomer. The engagement surface portions thus can be described as a positive temperature coefficient material that has a unique selected decreased electrical conductance at each selected increased temperature thereof over a targeted treatment range. The conductive-resistive matrix can be engineered to bracket a targeted thermal treatment range, for example about 60°C, to 80°C., at which tissue welding can be accomplished.; In one mode of operation, the engagement plane will automatically modulate and spatially localize ohmic heating within the engaged tissue from Rf energy application-across micron-scale portions of the engagement surface. In another mode of operation, a conductive-resistive matrix can induce a "wave" of Rf energy density to sweep across the tissue to thereby weld tissue.

Abstract: A pressure sensor includes an optical waveguide having an optical fiber with a refractive index n 1 , located in a fiber guide with a refractive index n 3 , forming an intermediate region. A medium with a refractive index n 2 is located in the intermediate region. The refractive indices correspond to the relation n 3 >n 1 >n 2 . When subjected to a pressure, the fiber guide is pressed against the optical fiber such that the condition for the total reflection required for the normal optical waveguidance in the optical waveguide is no longer fulfilled, and attenuation takes place. The attenuation is evaluated in a corresponding control unit. The pressure sensor is especially provided for an anti-pinch device in the motor vehicle industry.

Abstract: A drill sharpener is provided which has a point-splitting port which simplifies the procedure for producing a split point on a drill bit undergoing sharpening. The point-splitting port is positioned relative to a grinding wheel assembly such that, when the drill held by a chuck is advanced toward the grinding wheel, a flute of the drill at the drill tip is brought into contact with the grinding wheel. The port has alignment stops therein which mate with flats provided on the barrel of the chuck to ensure proper alignment of the chuck and drill relative to the grinding wheel. The stops also limit the extent of inward travel of the chuck and drill to a predetermined distance. A debris or grit collection tube is also provided to be inserted into an unused port of the drill sharpener, to contain and confine any debris or grit attempting to exit the sharpener through the unused port.

Abstract: A bidirectional signal processing method uses parallel transmission of digital transmitted data streams in a multiple input-multiple output system. Related art methods generate high bit error rates mostly in singular transmission channels. For this reason, the rank-adaptive signal processing method provides that the number n<SUB>d </SUB>of active subchannels are varied according to the actual channel behavior in order to effect a robust data transmission even in singular radio channels based on a transmit-side and receive-side channel knowledge and a modification of the data vector by a linear matrix vector multiplication while introducing a factor gamma for limiting the maximum transmit power. The maximum transmit power is then only distributed to the currently activated subchannels so that no transmit power remains unused. Another optimization of the number of subchannels n<SUB>d </SUB>occurs when selecting the modulation and encoding methods. During the optimal rank-adaptation according to the water-filling principle, another power is allocated to each subchannel. Another modulation and encoding method is accordingly selected for each data stream. During the suboptimal rank-adaptation according to the channel inversion principle, all subchannels have the same power whereby enabling the data streams to be modulated and encoded in a common source.

Abstract: Fuze including safety element (30) includes an acceleration detector (31) that acts on a timer (32) coacting with a primer housing rotor (14).

For this purpose, the device includes a diaphragm (36) engaging a flexible blade (51) to space apart the end (55) of the blade and the rotor when the dynamic pressure has a predetermined value, whereby a primer (18) can be moved into line in the explosive train. When the dynamic pressure is too low, the end (55) stops the rotor (14) from rotating and the firing procedure is also blocked in a notch in the rotor (14). The resulting fuze thus has highly reliable dual safety element responsive to two separate physical phenomena and having a simple construction.
