Abstract: The invention concerns a device for expanding a compressed gas, comprising a tube (3) supplying the gas to be expanded, an elongated sheath (1) containing a lining (2) made of a sound damping material, one end of said sheath communicating with the tube (3) through a series of holes (5), its opposite end emerging laterally outside through a series of orifices (4) exhausting the expanded gas, the total surface of said orifices being significantly greater than that of said holes, such that the gas passes through the latter at sonic velocity and its velocity upstream of its inlet is maintained at subsonic level. The elongated sheath (1) extends, by being fixed thereto, over the entire length of said tube (3) while being closed at its end opposite the one through which the gas to be expanded enters, and said series of orifices (4) enabling the expanded gas to be exhausted outside being provided laterally and on either side continuously over its entire length.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlled copying of a video or an audio signal
transmitted over a cable television or direct satellite broadcast system, or the
internet is described. Copyrighted video or audio material is protected from
unwanted recording by the combination of a first watermark (W1) inserted into
the video or audio signal by a content provider (10a) together with additional
copy protection in the form of a second watermark (W2). The watermark or
marks (W1, W2) are embedded in the active portion of the video or audio
signal. Only if the consumer is willing to pay a fee is the video signal with the
single watermark (V + W1) transmitted to the recording device (42a) which is
then enabled to copy the video signal. However, where copying is permitted,
the recording device is arranged to embed the second watermark (W2) into the
video signal (V + W1 + W2) to be recorded onto a disc (46a) whereby further
copying is prevented. This enables a single copy to be made upon payment.

Abstract: The process of the present invention for producing a polyester resin
comprising a dicarboxylic acid constitutional unit and a diol constitutional
unit having a cyclic acetal skeleton comprises a step (1) of subjecting a diol (A)
having a cyclic acetal skeleton and an ester (D) to transesterification reaction
and a step (2) of mainly converting the resultant oligomer into a high polymer.
The step (1) simultaneously satisfies the requirements (i) to (iv) as described

resins having excellent moldability and mechanical properties are stably
produced by a transesterification method which is less detrimental to
environments.

Abstract: The procedure for manufacturing plastic packaging such as containers for food products consists of introducing a main plastic material, produced by extrusion, expanded and comprising a structure layer into a central channel of a distributor (15).  At least one extruded adhesive material and a gas-barrier polymer are introduced into secondary channels of the distributor that lead to the central channel, and the components are simultaneously coextruded through a die connected to the central channel to form a multi-layer structure. The coextruded structure comprises, for example, a barrier layer some 10 - 20 mcm thick sandwiched between two layers of a main plastic material, such as an open-cell expanded polymer, with an adhesive layer on each side. The expanded polymer has an exterior non-absorbent film on at least one surface for contact with the food product. All the materials are introduced in granule (10) form into the die (16) connected to the distributor, and the coextruded multi-layer material (2) emerging from it is thermo-formed on a roller (17) with cells.
