Abstract: Ecotechnical pavement comprising a draining and wearing course (1) and at least a second lower layer (2) of analogous structure. The particular granulometry of the layers (1, 2) and the choice of aggregates, insure both an optimum adherence and the absorption of medium and high acoustic frequencies produced by vehicle traffic. Between the two layers (1, 2) and the lower supporting layer (5) there is provided a "cooperating separation layer" (3) which transmits the forces produced by vehicle traffic to the supporting layer (5). The layer (3) acts as a Helmhotz resonator in order to absorb sound at low frequencies, besides allowing an easy transversal flow of rainwater, the passage of powder of heavy metals or the passage of other types of liquids; the latter, which may be dangerous or polluting, are collected in a lateral "reservoir pavement" (9). The separation layer prevents cracks due to fatigue from rising.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré d'obtention de poly(hexaméthylène adipamide), par exemple du Nylon 6,6 consistant à faire réagir le monométhyl adipate avec l'hexaméthylènediamine dans une proportion approximativement équimolaire en présence d'eau à une température allant de 100 à 165 °C et à distiller simultanément une quantité stoechiométrique de méthanol. Le produit aqueux intermédiaire obtenu est ensuite chauffé à une température allant de 200 à 260 °C alors que l'on distille sensiblement toute l'eau à une pression comprise entre 150 et 250 psig (entre 1,03 X 106 et 1,72 x 106 Pa). Ensuite on réduit la pression pour atteindre une pression atmosphérique et on augmente la température entre 270 et 280 °C pour polycondenser le reste du distillat. Un tel procédé est utile dans la production de poly(hexaméthylène adipamide) de grande pureté de qualité commerciale qui permet d'éviter les problèmes causés par la N-méthylation du polyamide.

Abstract: This invention relates to a wine-making apparatus which exploits the
pressure of the carbon dioxide developed during fermentation to stir the
must and cause it to moisten the marc. 
     In particular, the apparatus in accordance with the invention comprises:
     a container (30) with the interior horizontally divided into two chambers
(32, 33);   a first pipe (35) that connects the bottom of the lower chamber (32) to

way that fluid can flow from the upper to the lower chamber but not
vice versa.   
     This configuration exploits the pressure generated by the fermentation of
the must to transfer part of the must from the lower chamber to the upper
chamber and moisten the marc that collects on the surface of the must.

increases until the voltage applied to the solenoid (W) reaches
a predetermined maximum value, and the signal at the output of
the amplifier (9) corresponds to the voltage drop across the
resistance (R) of the solenoid (W); it finally maintains the
gain (H) of the amplifier (9) at this value and controls the
generator (6) to generate the first reference voltage (V R ).

Abstract: A speech coder (14) is operable to compress digital data representing speech using
a Waveform Interpolation speech coding method. The coding method is carried out
on the residual signal from a Linear Predicative Coding stage. On the basis of a
series of overlapping frames of the residual signal, a series of respective spectra
are found. The evolution of the spectra is filtered in a multi-stage filtering process,
the filtered phase data being replaced with the original phase data at the end of
each stage. This is found to result in the decoder (28) being better able to
approximate the original speech signal. This is of particular utility in relation to
mobile telephony.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying, cleaning, drying,
oiling, candling, grading and packing eggs at high
speeds. A main conveyor assembly (21), which includes
two or more conveyors (21A,21B), transfers eggs
continuously in spaced-apart, aligned relationship to
transfer at which eggs are packaged according to their
previously-determined individual physical
characteristics, such as weight, cracks, dirt, etc.
The conveyors can run in the same direction, or may
run in opposite directions. The transfers (135A,135B)
accommodate the at least two conveyors, and include a
section which gathers ejected eggs and may convey them
to a packing station in a manner which prevents egg
collisions. The eject mechanism for ejecting eggs
from the conveyors ensures proper distribution of the
eggs across a transfer so as to prevent egg collisions
and to ensure that the packers are filled equally
across their widths.

Abstract: The process involves conventional methods of preparing
alcoholic beverages with the substitution of a specially
prepared water in lieu of the normal distilled or filtered
water commonly used in fermentation processes. The
specially prepared water has reduced viscosity and is
produced by a multi-step process which comprises a
plurality of separate batch processes, wherein each
successive process yields a product with a lower viscosity
than the product yielded from the previous process. The
first batch process comprises the passage of an electric
current through water without the presence of electrolytes,
which yields water with a lowered viscosity. The resulting
water is then placed into a series of batch energizer
reactors, wherein the water is successively irradiated with
far infrared light in each batch reactor for a specified
resident time period, each successive reactor yielding a
product with a lower viscosity. Receivers at each batch
reactor allow the water to be properly drained from the
reactors.
