Patent EP-0745102-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WOOD LOUIS L
IPC: C08G69/10
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: Copolymers of polyaspartic acid which are suitable for the inhibition of scale deposition were obtained by reacting maleic acid, an additional polycarboxylic acid and ammonia in a stoichiometric excess, at 120 DEG -350 DEG  C., preferably 180 DEG -300 DEG  C., to provide copolymers of polysuccinimide. In a second embodiment, a polyamine was added to the reaction mix. These intermediate polysuccinimide copolymers could then be converted to the salts of copolymers of polyaspartic acid by hydrolysis with a hydroxide. Such copolymers are useful in preventing deposition of scale from water and find applications in treating water. Other applications include scale prevention additives for detergents. In addition, such copolymers inhibit dental tartar and plaque formation.

Abstract: Convoyeur à air isométrique, sans amortisseur et sans capot, à vitesse contrôlée (10), et procédé asocié d'acheminement d'articles en masse ou un à un à vitesse contrôlée. Un premier groupe d'ouïes (14) s'étendant à la surface du convoyeur sont inclinées par rapport à ladite surface, de façon à ce que l'air en sorte vers l'aval avec une force d'une première intensité. Un second groupe d'ouïes (14) s'étendant à la surface du convoyeur sont inclinées par rapport à ladite surface, de façon à ce que l'air en sorte vers l'amont avec une force d'une deuxième intensité moins grande que la première, si bien que se crée une force résultante, dirigée et entraînant les articles, vers l'aval. La taille et le nombre des ouïes peuvent être choisis de façon à acheminer les articles à vitesse régulière vers l'aval dans des sections du convoyeur (10) situées toujours plus en avant ou de façon à faire varier la vitesse des articles d'une section à l'autre. Les rangées extérieures (30) d'ouïes bordant la surface de transfert peuvent être orientées vers l'intérieur pour produire un flux d'air transversal qui constitue une barrière que doivent traverser les articles isolés ou espacés dont la vitesse se trouve ainsi limitée. Ledit flux d'air crée également à l'arrière des articles espacés un léger effet de traîne sur 'leur bord de fuite' qui contribue à les maintenir droits.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing an oxide high-temperature superconducting wire having a further improved critical current density. Raw material powder for a Bi-based oxide superconductor is charged in a metal sheath, and subjected to plastic working for obtaining a tape wire. The obtained tape wire is heat treated at a temperature of 600 to 800°C, for example, forming no sintered body of the oxide superconductor, for 1 to 50 hours. Thereafter the heat treated wire is sintered at 830 to 860°C. Due to the heat treatment in advance of the sintering, the finally obtained superconducting wire can be provided with a higher critical current density as compared with a case of carrying out no such heat treatment.

Abstract: A child restraint system (24) includes shoulder belts (26) and 28 which engage the shoulders of a child (12) seated in a vehicle. The shoulder belts (26) and (28) are connected with an abdomen shield (32). A buckle (38) connects the shield (32) with a base (16) of a seat (14). A pair of retractor assemblies (50) and (52) are mounted in the abdomen shield (32) to enable the shoulder belts (26) and (28) to be extended upon movement of the abdomen shield (32) away from the child (12) seated in the vehicle. Upon movement of the abdomen shield (32) toward the child (12) seated in the vehicle, the retractor assemblies (50) and (52) retract the shoulder belts (26) and (28). The retractor assemblies (50) and (52) include spools (60) and (70) upon which the shoulder belts (26) and (28) are wound during retraction of the shoulder belts and unwound during extension of the shoulder belts. Latch pawls (66) and (76) are engageable with ratchet wheels (64) and (74) connected to the spools (60) and (70) to lock the spools against extension of the shoulder belts (26) and (28) when the shield (32) is buckled to the base (16). Unbuckling of the abdomen shield (32) from the base (16) results in the latch pawls (66) and (76) being disengaged from the ratchet wheels (64) and (74) to enable the shoulder belts (26) and (28) to be freely extended. An actuator assembly (82) causes the latch pawls (66) and (76) to be disengaged from the ratchet wheels (64) and (74).

Abstract: A voltage converter has a control circuit that generates a PWM voltage from a DC input voltage, a housekeeping coil and a first voltage rectifier-filter which supply power to the control circuit from an induced voltage in the housekeeping coil, and a second voltage rectifier coupled to the housekeeping coil to rectify flyback (or reset) voltages in the housekeeping coil. The rectified flyback voltage controls the frequency of the PWM voltage generated by the control circuit. During an overload, the control circuit reduces the duty cycle of the PWM voltage. In response, the magnitude of the rectified flyback voltage falls which causes the frequency of the PWM voltage to be reduced. The first and second voltage rectifiers may be coupled to different taps of the housekeeping coil, so that both voltage rectifiers provide positive voltages relative to a ground tap even though the two voltage rectifiers rectify pulses of opposite polarity on the secondary coil. In an alternative embodiment, a flyback voltage in a secondary coil other than a housekeeping coil is rectified to control the PWM frequency.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry which is particularly suitable for the determination of isotopic ratios. 
     In order to improve the precision of such determinations, the nozzle-skimmer type interface of the mass spectrometer is arranged so that the ratio               d       s           s        ×          p       1                is greater than 0.8 mB ½ , where d s  is the diameter of the orifice in the skimming member, s is the spacing between the sampling member and the skiming member, and p₁ is the pressure in the region between the sampling and skimming members. Although use of the invention slightly reduces the efficiency of the interface it results in more accurate isotopic ratio determinations.
