Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé servant à fabriquer un élément optique. Ce procédé consiste à recouvrir successivement un substrat en verre, par exemple, d'une couche d'orientation et d'une couche optiquement anisotrope d'un matériau contenant des monomères possédant au moins un groupe réactif à liaison covalente, puis à polymériser ladite couche optiquement anisotrope. D'après l'invention, la couche d'orientation appliquée comprend également des groupes réactifs à liaison covalente. Ceci permet d'obtenir une adhérence correcte entre la couche optiquement anisotrope et la couche d'orientation du substrat, ce qui exerce un effet favorable sur la qualité optique de l'élément. Pour les groupes réactifs, on utilise, de préférence, des composés de méthacrylate polymérisés par exposition à un rayonnement. On obtient des résultats avantageux en utilisant pour la couche d'orientation, de façon prédominante, du polyimide possédant des groupes réactifs à liaison covalente. On utilise, de préférence, une plaque de verre en tant que substrat et une couche d'adhérence à base d'un composé d'organosilane est située entre le substrat et la couche d'orientation.

Abstract: The device (10) is for determining the weight of loads (11), which have a linkage (12) activated by a hydraulic cylinder (21) to attach the load to a work vehicle (13), e.g. a tractor. A pressure sensor (27) measures the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder. An angle sensor (28) senses the location of the linkage relative to the vehicle. The signals from the two sensors and the signal from a vehicle pitch inclination sensor (29) are transmitted to a computing unit (26). The computing unit determines the size of the attached load and its change in weight. The computing unit also provides measurement value batches for at least three different measurement locations of the linkage for three unknown weights and their centres of gravity. The values weight and change in weight are even provided when the vehicle is moving.

Abstract: A signal processing system including at least one control loop having a forward path and a feedback path. A signal processor produces a representation of the desired downstream output amplitude and phase as a pair of substantially orthogonal signal components. A feedback-path splitter splits a feedback signal into a plurality of substantially orthogonal feedback signal components which are combined with the corresponding substantially orthogonal signal components to create error signals. A plurality of modulators control the amplitude, frequency, and/or phase of the pair of substantially orthogonal signal components on the basis of control signals which are derived from the error signals. The outputs of the plurality of modulating means are then combined into an output signal. A phase-shift controller in the forward path of the control loop derives the control signals from the error signals on the basis of monitored signal values from at least one predetermined point in the signal processing system.

Abstract: On peut utiliser des copolymères d'éthylène thermoplastique statistique pour augmenter l'élongation à la rupture et la ténacité de vulcanisats thermoplastiques. Le polypropylène est une phase thermoplastique préférée et le caoutchouc peut être des caoutchoucs oléfiniques. Les copolymères d'éthylène thermoplastique statistique sont différents des copolymères d'éthylène Ziegler-Natta, l'hétérogénéité compositionnelle du copolymère étant supérieure dans les copolymères Ziegler-Natta. Cette différence donne des différences sensibles en ce qui concerne les propriétés (élongation à la rupture et ténacité) entre les vulcanisats thermoplastiques modifiés contenant de l'éthylène thermoplastique statistique et les vulcanisats modifiés contenant des copolymères d'éthylène Ziegler-Natta. Une augmentation de l'élongation à la rupture produit une plus grande extensibilité des articles fabriqués à partir d'un vulcanisat thermoplastique.
