Patent EP-0867410-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COUGHLIN MICHAEL F
IPC: C02F1/72
Filed: 1998-01-15
Abstract: An all-in-one cooling water treatment composition includes a
high concentration of peroxide, preferably hydrogen peroxide,
in combination with a polyhydric alcohol and a phosphonate to
stabilize the peroxide in a concentrated solution. The
composition further includes a yellow metal corrosion
inhibitor such as aromatic triazole and optionally polymeric
dispersants and ferrous metal corrosion inhibitors and/or
molybdate metal corrosion inhibitors. In this composition
the phosphonate, preferably HEDP, acts both to stabilize the
peroxide and, at the same time, provides anti-scalant
treatment for the cooling tower. Due to the stability
provided by the HEDP and its anti-scalant properties, this
can be formulated as an all-in-one treatment composition
which is stable at high concentrations and can be added to
effectively control biocidal activity, scale and corrosion.

Abstract: A processing method for forming very shallow
junctions 25 utilizing the differential diffusion
coefficients of impurity dopants 38 in germanium as
compared to silicon to confine the dopants 38 to very
shallow regions made of substantially pure germanium 34.
This processing method takes advantage of known and
reliable process steps to create thin layers of Ge 34
with well-controlled thicknesses by conventional methods.
The processing method includes the steps of forming a
film layer of germanium of a desired thickness on the
substrate 20; introducing a dopant material to the
germanium film layer 22; and diffusing the dopant
material in the germanium film layer 24.

Abstract: The construction of a receiving apparatus for receiving
a broadcast from a plurality of broadcasting providers is
simplified. In a receiving apparatus for receiving a
broadcast from a plurality of broadcasting providers, of the
function blocks which constitute the receiving apparatus, a
block used in common irrespective of the broadcasting
provider is formed as a common block, and a block different
from one broadcasting provider to another is formed as an
independent block. These blocks are connected to each other
through an IEEE1394 interface, and the common block is
shared among the plurality of blocks which are not used in
common, so that a receiving process is performed.

Abstract: A furniture anchorage, particularly for seats, is
designed to co-operate with a floor track with a regular
array of apertures (1) joined by undercut slots (2). A bar
(3) or tube (32) overlies the track and has inverted
mushroom studs (5, 14, 30, 40, 43, 43') whose heads enter
the track through the apertures and then engage under the
lips of the slots (2) when the bar or tube (3, 32) is
shifted longitudinally. A plunger (13, 39) is then lowered
into one of the apertures (1) to lock the anchorage and, in
its lowered position, is rotated. This entrains an assembly
(9, 16, 53, 56) which wedges up some of the studs (14, 40)
otherwise spring urged (24, 64) downwardly.

Abstract: A titanium alloy sheet having a surface roughness satisfying the
relationship Ra ≤ 2 µm in all directions and a surface waviness
satisfying the relationship W CA  ≤ 10 µm shows excellent
workability because of the small anisotropy with respect to
mechanical properties such as bending properties, and also excellent
appearance after it is formed into a component. Such surface
conditions of titanium alloy sheet can be obtained by acid
pickling or grinding and acid pickling after rolling. Pack rolling,
especially in which a titanium alloy slab is packed with
carbon steels in vacuum by electron beam welding method
and then rolled, is preferable. Application of cross rolling
to the rolling makes it possible to obtain smaller
anisotropy with respect to mechanical properties.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un joint tournant haute pression comprenant une paroi annulaire intérieure et une paroi annulaire extérieure. Chaque paroi annulaire est connectée à un élément de distribution particulier via des orifices dont une dimension axiale est inférieure au diamètre de l'orifice d'entrée ou de l'orifice de sortie d'hydrocarbures. On réduit de cette façon la surface sous pression entre les joints d'étanchéité des parois rotatives intérieures et extérieures. Selon une réalisation préférée, chaque élément de distribution comprend une chambre qui est définie, d'une part par la face externe des parois annulaires intérieure et extérieure, et d'autre part par une paroi de fermeture. De cette façon, on assure une isolation thermique effective au moyen des chambres de distribution adjacentes des faces externes des bagues intérieures et extérieures. La déformation des chambres de distribution du joint tournant de l'invention a tendance à provoquer la diminution de la largeur de l'intervalle d'extrusion des joints d'étanchéité. En outre, les orifices d'entrée et de sortie relativement grands dans les chambres de distribution sont situés à de grandes distances radiales des joints d'étanchéité. Il en résulte que la déformation au niveau des orifices d'entrée et de sortie n'affecte pas de façon négative l'étanchéité. Ces joints tournants, qui, bien que légers, résistent bien aux hautes pressions, sont faciles à fabriquer, et pouvant s'empiler en formations verticales ou concentriques, prennent peu d'encombrement.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel esters synthesized from organic alcohols and tetrahalophthalic anydride or tetrahalophthalic acid, processes to make such esters, and novel uses of these esters. The invention provides three Groups of dialkyltetrahalophthalate compositions which exhibit surprisingly advantageous features, including excellent plasticizing functionality and low smoke generation. The esters may be symmetrical, in that both alcohols of the ester are the same, or they may be unsymmetrical with both alcohols of the derived phthalate ester different, or they may be mixtures of symmetrical and unsymmetrical esters. Inventive esters are useful as flame-retardant plasticizers in PVC or other polymeric systems.

Abstract: Ce circuit de linéarisation de prédistorsion comporte un élément de distorsion d'amplitude (AM/AM) et un élément de distorsion de phase (AM/PM). L'élément de distorsion de phase (AM/PM), celui-ci au moins, comporte des systèmes de polarisation de bande large (51) et une ligne de transmission non linéaire (L51/D51 - L55/D55) réagissant à ceux-ci. Ces systèmes de polarisation (51) sont conçus pour polariser la ligne de transmission non linéaire (L51/D51 - L55/D55) vers une zone sensiblement de distorsion de phase. Il est possible de modifier les caractéristiques du circuit par adaptation d'une tension de polarisation (VB1) ou par commutation de certaines diodes (D54, D55), les désactivant au moyen de signaux d'activation (VA1, VA2). L'élément de distorsion d'amplitude (AM/AM) et l'élément de distorsion de phase (AM/PM) peuvent avoir une structure similaire mais les diodes (D51 - D55) sont en partie polarisées en sens direct, les pertes qu'elles occasionnent réduisant l'amplitude du signal.

Abstract: A method of registering a newly added peripheral device with a
computer system by responding with a status message from the device to a
bus of the computer system, in response to an access attempt, and within
a predetermined time period from the deasserting of the reset signal
applied to device, so as to avoid stalling and thereby avoid the need to
reboot the system in order to initialize the new peripheral device with
the operating system. The device may be allowed to initially send a
retry response, provided the response occurs during an initial latency
period which is less than the predetermined time period. The invention
also enables the peripheral device to respond to non-configuration cycles
immediately following configuration completion. Internal logic of the
peripheral device can be initialized after responding with the status
message. Non-configuration access to the peripheral device can be
prevented until it is ready to respond, by setting a bit (in the
configuration space of the peripheral device to indicate that the
peripheral device is ready.

be enhanced by the increasing contact area and the shape. When the lands 3a and 12a

concentration of stress. To ensure the joint strength based on a conductive material
