Abstract: L'invention concerne un pansement adhésif, constitué d'un stratifié composé d'un film, d'un tissu en fibre et d'une couche adhésive, est obtenu par thermoscellage. Elle vise, d'une part, à améliorer la capacité d'adhérence à la peau sans altérer l'excellente perméabilité au gaz et à la vapeur d'eau et, d'autre part, à empêcher un liquide de pénétrer par les côtés du pansement adhésif. A cet effet, un scellage à motif est effectué sur un pansement adhésif constitué d'une feuille de base obtenue par application d'un film sur un tissu de fibre thermoplastique dont la surface est revêtue d'unecouche adhésive. Le thermoscellage est, de préférence, réalisé dans des conditions favorisant la fusion du tissu en fibre thermoplastique mais pas celle du film, et de manière à ce que le scellage à motif s'applique seulement aux parties périphériques du pansement adhésif.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer la salinité de l'eau dans un écoulement polyphasique. Selon le procédé, on irradie un corps de l'écoulement avec un rayonnement ayant trois niveaux énergétiques différents; on mesure l'intensité du rayonnement transmis pour chaque niveau énergétique; et on utilise les mesures du rayonnement transmis obtenues à partir de l'étalonnage et des coefficients massiques d'atténuation du rayonnement pour les hydrocarbures, pour chaque niveau énergétique, de façon à calculer une fonction unique représentant la salinité de l'eau. Les trois niveaux énergétiques peuvent être fournis, par exemple, par l'isotope radioactif Baryum 133, et les coefficients massiques d'atténuation pour les hydrocarbures peuvent être calculés théoriquement ou dérivés des mesures d'étalonnage statique. L'invention convient particulièrement pour mesurer la salinité d'un écoulement constitué d'un mélange d'huile, d'eau et de gaz, par exemple un écoulement polyphasique, sans séparer les phases. Il est nécessaire de déterminer avec précision la salinité de la phase aqueuse et d'utiliser cette mesure pour étalonner les autres capteurs ou instruments de mesure. En outre, la salinité de l'eau est souvent intéressante pour les exploitants des puits, car elle représente une valeur absolue qui peut ensuite être comparée à celle d'autres puits ou contrôlée pendant un certain laps de temps.

Abstract: A front-placed surface illuminating device which has a high visibility both while illuminating and while not illuminating, and whose
power consumption is small. The illuminating device which is placed in front of an object has a light guide plate which is a transparent flat
plate and has dot-like light taking-out structures on the surface or at positions facing the surface and a light source facing to an edge of the
light guide plate. The light source is, for instance, a point light source. The light taking-out structures are, for instance, column-shaped
protrusions and are arranged two-dimensionally. When the illuminating device is placed in front of an object, light is projected to the object
and, at the same time, light reflected by the object can be transmitted through the device with almost no diffusion. When the illuminating
device is not operated, external light reflected by the object can be transmitted by the illuminating device with almost no diffusion. The point
light source may be an LED or a light bulb. The low power consumption can be achieved easily.

Abstract: A non-reusable needle-bearing safety medical device is provided. The device is operable for inserting an intravenous catheter into a patient. The device includes a needle for piercing the patient's skin and guiding the catheter into the vein of the patient. The needle is operable in two positions, an extended position, in which the needle projects forwardly from a housing, and a retracted position, in which the needle is retracted into the barrel so that the needle is enclosed by the barrel to prevent inadvertent contact with the needle after use. A needle retainer releasably retains the needle in the projecting position against the bias of a spring that biases the needle rearwardly toward the retracted position. After use, the operator displaces an actuator to release the needle. The spring then propels the needle rearwardly into the retracted position. In this way, the device is non-reusable and the needle is shielded to prevent contact with the sharpened tip of the contaminated needle.

Abstract: In einem obermodig betreibbaren Resonator, etwa einen koaxialen Wellenleiter, werden verschiedene Schwingungsmoden eines elektromagnetischen Feldes eingekoppelt und miteinander überlagert. Mit dem so entstehenden Erregungsfeld gemischter Mode wird eine Antenne, vorzugsweise eine bikonische Antenne, angeregt. Die azimutale Strahlungscharakteristik der von der Antenne emittierten elektromagnetischen Welle weist die gleiche Abhängigkeit auf, wie die azimutale Feldverteilung im Resonator. Insbesondere weist die Strahlungscharakteristik bei einem azimutal anisotropen Erregungsfeld Vorzugsrichtungen in der azimutalen Abstrahlung auf. Durch eine zusätzliche Veränderung der Phasen- bzw. der Amplitudenbeziehungen zwischen den eingekoppelten elektromagnetischen Feldmoden wird eine Richtungsänderung der maximalen Abstrahlung der elektromagnetischen Welle bewirkt.

Abstract: Removal of nitrous oxides in an air separation plant involves treatment of liquid, from the high-pressure column, in which it is concentrated. It is important to remove nitrous oxide, which has a comparatively high melting point, from the circuit before solid particles block the heat exchangers. This is done by occasionally purging the sump of high pressure column (6) at (16) and passing the liquid, which will contain all of the nitrous oxide, into a cleaning vessel (17) in which the nitrous oxide is removed by physical adsorption. Alternatively the purge liquid is warmed in a heat exchanger to a point where the nitrous oxide can be separated as a solid or liquid fraction. A counterflow material exchange method could also be used. The cleaned fluid then rejoins the process via line (18). The main flow of the oxygen enriched portion is removed at (13), at least one theoretical, or practical, floor (material exchange section (15)) above the air inlet (5), to continue the process in a conventional manner in the low-pressure column (7). Krypton and Xenon, also present in the sump liquid, can be concentrated and separated from the nitrous-oxide-free liquid leaving vessel (17). Methods for recovering cooling energy, involving further compression and conventional expansion through a turbine, are described.

least one substance selected from the group consisting of inorganic particles
having a mean particle size of 40 nm or less, alkyl vinyl ether - maleic
anhydride copolymer, derivatives of the alkyl vinyl ether - maleic anhydride
copolymer and ionomer. According to the present invention, it is possible that
