Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de production d'une huile de base lubrifiante. Selon ce procédé, une charge hydrocarbonifère à haut point d'ébullition est soumise à l'hydrocraquage de façon à produire des hydrocarbures bouillant dans la plage de l'huile de base lubrifiante ; l'effluent venant de l'hydrocraqueur est de l'hydrogène chaud dégazoliné permettant de retirer des hydrocarbures et du sulfure d'hydrogène à bas point d'ébullition avant de les introduire dans une zone d'hydrodéparaffinage. Selon une forme d'exécution préférée, le dégazolineur d'hydrogène chaud comprend une zone de déshydrogénation, ce processus étant effectué dans des conditions « douces », ce qui permet d'utiliser ensuite des catalyseurs sensibles au soufre dans des zones de réaction aval incluant les zones d'hydrodéparaffinage et d'hydro-affinage. On traite de préférence l'effluent venant de la zone de réaction d'hydrodéparaffinage dans une zone de réaction d'hydro-affinage.

Abstract: A base wing 11, as attached at its root end portion to
the rotor head of a rotational drive unit, is provided with
a front wing 12 and a rear wing 13 having substantially equal
spans. The vortex, as generated at the wing tip, is divided
into relatively weak tip vortexes of a front wing vortex 12c
generated at the tip of the front wing and a rear wing vortex
13c generated at the tip of the rear wing 13. Since the front
wing 12 and the rear wing 13 have equal spans, on the other
hand, the front wing vortex 12c and the rear wing vortex 13c
are close to each other so that they interact positively with
each other and are weakened and diffused. As a result, while
the helicopter is hovering, the interactions between the
retreating rotor blade of the rotor and the tip vortex generated
by the tip of the advancing rotor blade are drastically reduced
to suppress the occurrence of the BVI noises.

Abstract: There is disclosed a voltage actuated sensory nerve conduction threshold
device using a stepped square wave voltage for bio-electric stimulation of nerve
groups, and a method of use and operation of the device. A step voltage is
preset as a percentage of a maximum peak stimulus voltage, which allows
current to flow through a patient's skin. As an intensity of the maximum stimulus
voltage is varied, the stair step voltage varies as a percentage of the intensity of
the stimulus voltage. However, if the stimulus voltage drops to a user set or
preset value of stair step voltage, the current flowing through the patient's skin is
maintained as the voltage is not allowed to go below that value. This avoids the
voltage falling below a cutaneous electrical resistance threshold (CERT) of the
patient's skin, at which current conduction ceases.

Abstract: In a hydrogen gas fuel cell a polymer electrolyte membrane, or "PEM," is located between two layers composed of a catalyst material such that a sandwich-like assembly is formed. An anode electrode and a cathode electrode, each composed of a thin sheet of porous material that is permeable to liquid and gas, are situated on either side of the sandwich-like assembly such that one surface of each electrode abuts a catalyst layer. The remaining surface of each electrode abuts a conductive nonporous bipolar plate having grooves cut therein. Wicking strands composed of a trilobed fiber are located in between each catalyst layer and the adjacent PEM, and arranged in a repetitive pattern such that the strands do not cross over each other. Each wicking strand abutting the PEM surface facing the anode electrode has one end situated in a reservoir of liquid water. Each wicking strand abutting the PEM surface facing the cathode electrode drains into an exhaust reservoir.

Abstract: Apparatus 10 for measuring permeability of a material 12 includes a substantially constant vacuum source 14 coupled via duct 11 to a fluid capacitance vessel 16 which contains pressure transducer 18 coupled by conductors 20 to an amplifier and display 22 for monitoring the source 14. Fluid impervious disc 24 is provided with placement on surface 26 on the material 12 to define, between disc 24 and surface 26 a fluid flow cavity 28. Disc 24 is coupled by conduit 32 to a restriction tube 30 which provides a high impedance to fluid flow. An opposite end of the restriction tube 30 is in fluid communication with vessel 16. A transducer 34 is coupled across restriction tube 30 to provide a measure of fluid flow. Fluid impervious seal 60 forms a seal about the periphery of disc 24 and extends radially outwardly on the surface 26. Assuming the material 12 has some degree of permeability, air will be able to permeate through the material 12 from beyond the periphery of the seal 60 and to the cavity 28. This flow produces a steady state of pressure differential across the tube 30 which is detected by transducer 34 and which can be read from display 38, to provide a measure of permeability.
