Inventor: HOLMES JOHN M III

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour la séparation de polyester, en particulier le polyéthylène téréphtalate, à partir d'un certain nombre de contaminants et d'impuretés. En règle générale, le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: mélange des matériaux à base de polyester avec une composition alcaline, dans un mélangeur. Ce mélangeur transmet à la suspension épaisse une énergie suffisante pour assurer un revêtement sensiblement complet et uniforme des matériaux par la composition, engendrant une saponification de la surface externe du polyester avec ladite composition. Après la réaction conduite dans le mélangeur, on chauffe le mélange, ce qui modifie chimiquement certaines impuretés, en leur donnant une capacité de séparation accrue. Ensuite, le mélange peut être rincé à l'eau, et le polyester est alors séparé aisément des impuretés restantes. Ainsi, il est possible de séparer puis de récupérer le polyester sur des matériaux de rebut, par exemple à base de chlorure de polyvinyle et d'aluminium. Le procédé est également efficace pour l'élimination de revêtements qui adhèrent au polyester et de composés organiques et inorganiques entraînés contenus dans le polyester.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the identification of individual gas compounds which co-exist with other compounds that have substantially higher concentrations. To achieve this, the adsorbent ( 2 ) is heated in a cyclic manner by a thermal shock treatment of the gas sensor ( 4 ) and the compounds that are released in cycles are diffused from the measured gas side through the membrane-type adsorbent ( 2 ) to the gas sensor ( 4 ) and are detected by the latter ( 4 ). The adsorbent ( 2 ) of the corresponding detector is configured as a flat or tubular membrane and is positioned directly adjacent to the gas sensor ( 4 ), without touching the latter. The adsorbent ( 2 ) separates the gas sensor ( 4 ) from the measured gas and is heated in a cyclic manner by the heater ( 6 ) of the gas sensor ( 4 ) in such a way that the desorbed gaseous compounds are identified using the active layer ( 5 ) of the gas sensor ( 4 ).

Abstract: Medical needle shield apparatus (10) for covering a needle after use. A shield (22) with two or more segments (12 and 14) hingedly connected to each other is movable from a retracted position where the needle (16) is exposed, to an extended position where the shield extends beyond the end of the needle. The needle is affixed in a hub (18) of a medical needle device, and the shield is articulated to the hub. At least one of the two or more segments has an open orifice through which the needle passes to form an axis of intersection about the needle. The number of hingedly connected segments depends upon the needle length and device length required to extend the shield beyond the distal end of the needle.

Abstract: Un certain nombre de fibres optiques non linéaires (12A-C) sont configurés dans une configuration parallèle. Les fibres (12A-C) sont pompées au moyen de pompes optiques (18) possédant une longueur d'onde sensiblement plus longue que la longue d'onde de dispersion zéro pour chaque fibre. Grâce à un multiplexeur (14), les signaux optiques se trouvant dans un certain intervalle de longueur d'onde sont autorisés à entrer et à sortir des différentes fibres dans lesquelles l'amplification paramétrique peut être réalisée. Grâce à la sélection de la longueur d'onde de pompe hors de chaque intervalle correspondant, la diaphonie peut être supprimée. Les fibres non linéaires (12A-C) peuvent être pompées par des pompes laser séparées ou deux ou plusieurs fibres non linéaires peuvent être pompées par une pompe commune (18), en fonction des différentes propriétés de fibres. Grâce à la personnalisation des propriétés de fibres telles que la longueur d'onde de dispersion zéro, le coefficient de dispersion de second ordre et le coefficient de dispersion de quatrième ordre, des caractéristiques d'amplification avantageuses peuvent être réalisées dans différents intervalles de longueur d'onde.
