Abstract: Une peinture latex (13) contenant de l'eau et un ou plusieurs solvants organiques à point d'ébullition élevé est étendue sur un film de support (11) et séchée par un procédé permettant d'obtenir une couche de peinture séchée ne présentant pas de bulles. On fait passer le film (32) en continu à travers une série d'au moins trois étages de séchage (33, 34, 35, 48) en contact avec de l'air chaud modérément humide, et plus de la moitié de la chaleur requise pour l'évaporation est appliquée sur le côté inférieur du film. Les conditions de séchage dans au moins chacun des trois premiers étages (33, 34, 35) sont régulées pour maintenir un profil de température de film provoquant l'évaporation de l'eau à une vitesse modérée mais plus rapide que celle des solvants organiques. On obtient ainsi la coalescence de la peinture et on évite le piégeage de liquides dans une couche de peinture durcie en surface.

Abstract: The pump has a pump housing (2), enclosing a pump impeller, with two line connections designed as pipe sockets (5). Displaceably arranged coupling sleeves (8), which are designed as ball and socket joints or as one-piece coupling rings, are slipped onto the pipe sockets (5). The coupling sleeve (8) is equipped with retaining fingers (23) directed towards the pump housing (2) and provided with hooks (24), which fingers, whilst maintaining an axial play (a) act in concert with a retaining flange (25) formed on the pipe socket (5). Owing to the capacity of the coupling sleeve (8) to be displaced in relation to the pipe socket (5) of the pump housing, the transmission of additional stresses to the pump housing (2) is avoided. This makes it possible to manufacture the pump housing and the coupling sleeve (8) at least partially from plastic. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The fluid actuated friction damper comprises a cylinder (10) and an expandable piston assembly (12) made up of a postion having two spaced apart parallel end walls (24) which form an annular chamber (28), and two spaced apart side walls which project toward one another and terminate in two spaced apart parallel edges (34,36). These edges define a curved opening for the chamber which fronts upon the inside of the cylinder. A curved friction member (18,20) is located between these edges in this opening, and is pressed against the inside of the cylinder (10) by an underlying flexible actuator ring.(22) This ring has a width greater than the spacing between the side wall edges (34,36) and is located inside of the side walls so that the ring simultaneously self-seals against the side walls and bulges outwardly through the opening, thereby pressing the friction member (18,20) against the inside of the cylinder when the chamber is pressurized. The friction member (18,20) is contained in a fixed position with respect to the piston (16) between the side wall edges, the inside of the cylinder and the flexible actuator ring.(22) The frictional damping force obtained is controllable in relation to the direction of movement of the piston assembly within the cylinder, either by control of the fluid pressure applied to the chamber or by control of the surface area of the actuator ring exposed to a single fluid pressure, using fluid pressures less than 35 psi.

Date Sep. 7, 1990.The present invention relates to a method for resource allocation in a radio system comprising base stations with respective coverage areas and mobile units. The interaction between the stations in the system is defined with the aid of measured and/or calculated field strengths from all base stations on relevant traffic routes in the geographic area of the radio system, preferably in the form of an exclusion matrix. An allocating matrix is formed by compressing the exclusion matrix by means of an allocating algorithm. The algorithm utilizes figures of merit which are on the one hand calculated by mathematical/logical means to form possible combinations of stations and utilizes on the other hand a random technique for selecting one of these combinations. The algorithm is iterated a number of times and different allocations are obtained thanks to the random technique. The best one of the allocations from any point of view is selected.

Filed: 1990-05-11
Abstract: On décrit un dispositif de mesure de l'humidité relative des gaz comportant un support sur lequel sont disposées une électrode de base, une contre-électrode et une couche poreuse. L'humidité qui pénètre dans la couche poreuse entraîne une modification de la capacité ou de la résistance du dispositif qui permet de calculer l'humidité relative. Les modèles connus d'hygromètres présentent une hystérésis gênante et un temps de réponse prolongé. Dans l'invention, le support est réduit à l'épaisseur d'une membrane dans la région des électrodes et de la couche poreuse et il comporte une résistance chauffante. Celle-ci permet de chauffer la couche poreuse de telle manière que la capacité ou la résistance prennent une valeur qui peut être déterminée à l'avance. La puissance calorifique absorbée dans ce but donne une mesure de l'humidité relative. Le dispositif objet de l'invention donne de bons résultats dans des conditions de mesure difficiles, notamment aux faibles valeurs de température, d'humidité de l'air ou de pression.
