Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of aqueous solutions of unsaturated quaternary ammonium salts. The salts can correspond to the following formula (I):in which R represents a methyl or benzyl radical, by reaction, in the presence of water, of N,N-dimethyl-amninoethyl acrylate (DAMEA) with a quaternizing agent of formula (II):in which R is as defined above. Generally, the reaction is carried out in a closed reactor, which includes all the DAMEA and has been pressurized by air or depleted air to 0.5 to 3 bar, by continuously introducing, at a temperature of 35 to 65° C., the quatenlizing agent (II) and the water, until a concentration of salt (I) in the water is obtained. The water starts to be introduced beginning when 0-20% of the amount by weight of the quaternizing agent (II) necessary for the reaction has been added and it being possible for the pressure at the end of the reaction to reach 9 bar. Next, the reactor can be depressurized while keeping the oxygen content constant by simultaneous introduction of air and, after returning to atmospheric pressure, the residual quaternizing agent may be removed.

Abstract: A hair-removing device ( 1 ) includes a laser source ( 3 ), an adjustable laser beam manipulator ( 5 ) for positioning a laser beam ( 7 ) of the laser source ( 3 ) in a target position ( 9 ) on a skin ( 11 ) to be treated, and an image sensor ( 47 ) for detecting an image ( 49 ) of the skin. The hair-removing device further comprises a control unit ( 17 ) which determines a position and orientation on the skin of a hair ( 13 ) to be removed, and which determines the target position of the laser beam as a function of said position and orientation of the hair. The control unit brings the laser beam manipulator in a state corresponding to the target position of the laser beam, and activates the laser source when the laser beam manipulator has reached said state. Thus, the hair-removing device is suitable for use by inexperienced users, and is particularly suitable for the consumer market. In a particular embodiment, the control unit determines the target position of the laser beam in a position ( 71 ) on the skin under which a root ( 15 ) of the hair is present, so that the root of the hair is destroyed and the hair-removing device ( 1 ) is an epilating device by means of which the hair is removed for a relatively long time or even permanently. In another embodiment, the control unit determines the target position of the laser beam in a position ( 65 ) on the hair where the hair comes out of the skin, so that the hair is burnt through near the skin surface and the hair-removing device ( 1 '') is a shaving device by means of which a high skin smoothness is obtained.

Abstract: An untied shoelace warning system with a shoelace receiver and first and second sensors coupled to an indicator that activates when the system senses a shoelace segment, but senses it in an untied condition. The first and second sensors couple the indicator to a battery, and may all be contained within a housing. The first sensor is normally closed, but opens when a shoelace segment rests against it in a tied condition, and closes if the shoelace segment falls off the sensor, activating the indicator by coupling it to the battery. The second sensor is normally open, closing when it detects a shoelace segment. The system activates the indicator when a shoelace segment is not sensed by the first sensor, but is sensed by the second sensor. The system does not activate the indicator when a shoelace segment is not in the system, because neither the first nor the second sensor senses the shoelace. This way, the untied shoelace warning system does not activate the indicator when the shoe is not being worn. The indicator may be a sound device, e.g., a piezoelectric buzzer, a light or a series of lights, e.g., light emitting diodes or LED's, a vibrating device, or a combination of the aforementioned devices.

Abstract: A method for inspecting the material distribution of a sequence of stretch blow molded containers (28) or other articles in a continuous production process, by providing injection molded parisons (10), each parison having at least one indicator (22), typically two or more indicators (2), for detecting material distribution at a predetermined position along the axial extent of the parison. Each of the parisons (10) is subjected to a heating stage in the continuous production process, generally by exposure to infrared heating (72,21). Each heated parison (10) is then subjected to a blow molding process, which can be a stretch blow molding process, so that each material distribution indicator is transformed to a corresponding position along the axial extent of the blow molded article (28). A detector (50) is positioned to detect the location of each indicator (22) on each blow molded article (28) from a given mold (25) in the production process. A computation is then made to determine for each blow molded article (28) a material distribution outcome or profile based on the detected locations of each indicator (22). This information on material distribution is them matched to a prescribed profile for the particular container design and any discrepancy beyond some preset tolerance value is employed to reject the out of tolerance item from the production line, and to modify a step of the manufacturing process such as the infrared heating pattern. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to combinatorial processes for preparing an array of n aqueous polymer dispersions by emulsion polymerization and for preparing an array of m formulations of polymer dispersions, and also to the arrays themselves. The processes are conducted at n or m spatially separate locations for the n or m mixtures, respectively. To conduct the emulsion polymerization, monomers, initiator, dispersants and, if desired, further components are reacted with one another in water as the reaction medium. To prepare the formulations, aqueous polymer dispersions are mixed with other aqueous polymer dispersions and/or further components. With all processes, each of the n or m mixtures differs from every other mixture in at least one parameter in each case which may have an influence on the properties of the resultant polymer dispersions or formulations, respectively. The advantage of the invention is that by means of these processes it is possible rapidly to prepare and characterize a large number of aqueous polymer dispersions and formulations. This leads to an acceleration in the development process for the preparation of aqueous polymer dispersions and formulations having optimized properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to problematic waste water with highly concentrated impurities, for example seepage water from a refuse dump, which is anaerobically degraded in an anaerobic treatment zone (digester) and the digested sludge arising therefrom is mechanically de-watered. Simultaneously, communal waste water is purified in a purification plant containing an aerobic treatment zone, wherein advanced nitrification/denitrification and/or phosphorous elimination can be activated/started by recycling oxygen and nitrate rich water and sludge back into the inlet area. In the aerobic purification zone, the excess digested sludge, in which a large part of the AOX load of the communal waste is incorporated, is mechanically de-watered and is discharged into the anaerobic purification zone (digester), in order to degrade the AOX load by decomposition. The degree of dewatering of the excess sludge is controlled according to the amount of problematic waste water to be processed. The filtrate obtained from the dewatered sludge, which contains the greater part of the nitrogen load, is introduced into the aerobic purification zone in the purification plant and is subjected to nitrification/denitrification therein.
