Title: Procede de traitement de minerai a grains fins
Inventor: ZIRNGAST JOHANN
IPC: C22B1/24
Filed: 2000-06-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement de minerai (2) à grains fins, ledit minerai (2) étant soumis à un criblage à l'air à l'aide d'un gaz, ce qui donne lieu à la formation de deux fractions (6, 8), à savoir une fraction sommaire (6) et une première fraction fine (8). La fraction sommaire (6) est séparée et la fraction fine (8) est entraînée avec le gaz, puis séparée du gaz et acheminée au moins en grande partie conjointement avec la fraction sommaire (6) jusqu'à un poste de traitement. La première fraction fine (8) est soumise à un autre criblage à l'air avec un gaz. Une seconde fraction fine (18) est séparée et acheminée conjointement avec la fraction sommaire (6) jusqu'au poste de travail et une fraction ultrafine (19) est entraînée avec le gaz, puis séparée du gaz, ce qui permet d'éviter l'apparition de phénomènes de collage et d'adhérence inhérents à la fraction ultrafine (19) dans les processus subséquents de traitement du minerai (2) à grains fins.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un polymère de poly(éthylène oxyde) possédant des fractions de masse moléculaire de faible poids et de poids élevé, et qui est fractionné par dissolution du polymère dans un solvant pour la fraction de masse moléculaire de faible poids. On peut obtenir une bonne séparation des fractions de masse moléculaire de poids élevé et de faible poids. Lorsque le polymère de poly(éthylène oxyde) contient un catalyseur de cyanure métallique, ce processus permet également une bonne séparation du catalyseur de la fraction de masse moléculaire de faible poids. Dans ce cas, le catalyseur reste actif et la fraction de masse moléculaire de poids élevé contenant le catalyseur peut être recyclée dans des processus ultérieurs de polymérisation.

Inventor: WEIGOLD SIMON
IPC: G01B11/26
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting or determining a position or angle modification or a bending angle on a workpiece (2) and a workpiece section (3) during a bending process. To this end, at least one measurement or light beam, in particular, in the form of a light fan (14), originating from a light or measurement beam source (6) is directed onto the workpiece (2), in order to create a corresponding pattern of light, in particular, a line of light (7). The latter can be recorded and detected using a receiver, preferably a camera (8), in such a way that a modification to the angle of the workpiece (2) or its workpiece section (3) can be calculated, based on a position modification of the light pattern. The light or measurement beam source (6) is positioned in such a way, that the line of light (7) or several light lines (7) of this type, which can also be geometrical lines of symmetry or diameter lines, run parallel or substantially parallel to the bending line (11), so that a modification to the position of the bent workpiece section (3) leads to a parallel displacement of this projected line (7).

IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: Light from a pulse light source 11 is split by an optical
splitter 12 into two light beams, and one is made to be incident
via a gate optical system 2 on a detection medium 6 as a
gate pulse used in observation of fluorescence. Moreover,
the other is made to be incident via an excitation optical
system 3 on a substance undergoing measurement 4 as an
excitation pulse used in producing fluorescence, and the
fluorescence from the substance undergoing measurement 4
is irradiated via a fluorescence optical system 5 onto the
detection medium 6. Here, a fluorescence component that
passes through a region of the detection medium 6 where a
change in refractive index has been induced through a
nonlinear optical effect produced in the detection medium
6 by the gate pulse is observed as a fluorescence image by
utilizing a change in polarization state; by observing the
change in position of the fluorescence image while
correlating with the change over time in the fluorescence,
a fluorescence lifetime measuring apparatus is realized with
which the change over time in the fluorescence, inparticular
the fluorescence lifetime, can be measured efficiently with
high temporal resolution.

The optical filter (9) modifies the input to the lens system (12) such that the output of the lens system gives rise to a desired intensity profile at the output of the laser system (1). This desired profile can have a tapered profile at the top of the hat, which gives improved performance for laser crystallisation. The invention can be implemented with minimum adaptation of an existing top hat profile laser system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a moisture absorptive and
dischargeable cloth comprising a hydrophobic synthetic fiber in a
proportion of not less than 60 wt%, and moisture highly absorptive
and dischargeable organic fine particles comprising an acrylic
polymer having a crosslinking structure and a carboxyl group in a
salt form, wherein the organic fine particles are bonded to the
surface of the fiber by graft polymerization. The moisture
absorptive and dischargeable cloth of the present invention shows
extremely high moisture absorption as compared to an unprocessed
cloth, and shows superior moisture absorption-heat generation-temperature
rise property and moisture absorption-heat
generation/moisture discharge-cooling property. When the cloth of
the present invention is used for clothings, it quickly absorbs
moisture and heat in the clothings and discharges them into the
air, thus controlling the weather within clothings, as a result of
which sweatiness and stickiness are reduced and a smooth touch is
afforded. In addition, since it is superior in resistance to
washing and resistance to friction, the moisture absorption and
discharge property can be maintained for a long time.

Abstract: An on/off switchable source (2) of a continuous
optical signal at a respective wavelength (λ 2 ) is
provided to be turned off when the wavelength (λ 1 ) of
the modulated incoming signal (IS) corresponds to the
respective wavelength (λ 2 ) generated by the source
while said source (2) is turned on when the wavelength
(λ 1 ) of the incoming signal (IS) differs from the
source wavelength (λ 2 ). A Michelson interferometer (10)

values, respectively. When the wavelength (λ 1 ) of the
incoming signal (IS), which is not generally known a
priori, corresponds to the source wavelength (λ 2 ), the
source (2) is switched off and the output signal (OS)
is a replica of the incoming signal (IS) regenerated at
the interferometer (10) . When the wavelength (λ 1 ) of
the incoming signal (IS) differs from the source
wavelength (λ 2 ), the source (2) is switched on and the
output signal (OS) is a replica of the incoming signal
(IS) regenerated at the interferometer (10) and

Abstract: A low voltage EPROM which increases its reading speed by
charging a word line to a voltage higher than V cc  during a read

Title: Method and device for determining the throughput of a flowing medium
Inventor: TANK DIETER
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and/or devices for determining the throughput of a flowing medium, in particular a flowing air mass. According to the invention, the flowing medium is determined using two evaluation methods that function according to different principles and the two measurement signals thus obtained are correlated to determine corrective procedures. As the two measurement methods react differently to disturbances, the type and order of magnitude of the disturbance can be deduced from the comparison of the two output signals and a corrected measurement signal, which is independent of the disturbances, can be obtained.
