Abstract: A sports implement including an electroactive element, such as a piezoceramic sheet attached to the implement and a circuit attached to the electroactive element. The circuit may be a shunt, or may include processing such as amplification and phase control to apply a driving signal which may compensate for strain sensed in the implement, or may simply alter the stiffness to affect performance. In a ski, the electroactive element is located near to the root in a region of high strain to apply damping, and the element captures between about one and five percent of the strain energy of the ski. The region of high strain may be found by modeling mechanics of the sports implement, or may be located by empirically mapping the strain distribution which occurs during use of the implement. In other embodiments, the electroactive elements may remove resonances, adapt performance to different situations, or enhance handling or comfort of the implement. Other embodiments include striking implements intended to hit a ball or object in play, such as golf clubs and tennis racquets, wherein the strain elements may alter the performance, feel or comfort of the implement.

Abstract: A substantial and increasing problem with the pulping chemical recovery system, is the presence of chloride and potassium in the spent liquor entering the recovery boiler. Chloride and potassium increase the stickiness of carryover deposits and dust particles to the recovery boiler tubes, which accelerate fouling and plugging in the upper part of the recovery boiler. The present invention relates to a process by which the content of potassium ions in a recovery system for pulping chemicals can be reduced. The process comprises bringing spent liquor to a recovery boiler, burning said spent liquor, collecting precipitator dust formed, forming a solution by dissolving the precipitator dust (9) in a liquid (2,31,71), where the solution of precipitator dust is subjected to a treatment with an inorganic ion exchange material (8) in order to remove at least a part of the potassium therein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de formation d'une couche mince en polymère fluorocarboné sur la surface d'une structure. Dans un procédé, on expose un gaz monomère à une source de chaleur dont la température est suffisante pour pyrolyser le gaz monomère et produire une source d'un type de CF2 réactif à proximité de la surface de la structure. La surface de la structure est maintenue sensiblement à une température inférieure à celle de la source de chaleur afin d'induire un dépôt et une polymérisation du type de CF2 sur la surface de la structure. Dans un autre procédé on utilise du plasma pulsé pour produire un type de CF2 réactif. Les procédés de pyrolyse de gaz monomère et d'excitation du plasma peuvent être mis en oeuvre individuellement, séquentiellement ou simultanément. On peut par conséquent produire des couches minces en polymère fluorocarboné flexible sur des fils, des fils torsadés, des sondes neurales, des tubes, des microstructures complexes, des substrats, des circuits microfabriqués et autres structures. Les couches présentent une fraction CF2 constitutive d'au moins environ 50 %, une constante diélectrique d'au moins environ 1,95 et une densité de réticulation inférieure à environ 35 %.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques de régulation de la fréquence de services dans des commutateurs ATM ainsi qu'un dispositif concernant leur mise en oeuvre. Les techniques se divisent en deux catégories: les régulations du domaine fréquentiel et les régulations du domaine temporel. Les régulateurs régulent la fréquence des services sur une base régulation par classe ou par connexion. Certains régulateurs de classe fonctionnent à des vitesses très élevées de l'ordre de plusieurs gigabits par seconde et couvrent un nombre moyen de classes, 32 par exemple. D'autres régulateurs fonctionnent à des vitesses très élevées de l'ordre de plusieurs centaines de mégabits par seconde et couvrent un très grand nombre de classes, par exemple 10 000. Un régulateur composé, qui combine ces deux types de régulateurs, augmente considérablement l'éventail des classes que l'on peut réguler, en couvrant 200 000 classes. Les principaux avantages des régulateurs selon l'invention sont sa simplicité, sa fiabilité et son rendement élevé.
