Title: Piezoelectric copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene
IPC: C08F259/08
Filed: 1988-12-01
Granted: 1992-04-15
Abstract: Copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and of trifluoroethylene having at the same time piezoelectric properties and a maximum use temperature which are both high, in which the overall molar content of trifluoroethylene is lower than 30%, characterised in that it has a heterogeneous structure, its cumulative molar composition distribution curve being included between two straight lines:
 Y = -3.18 X + 140
 and Y = 3.12 X + 109
 X being the molar percentage of trifluoroethylene in the macromolecular chains and Y being the weight percentage of all the macromolecular chains whose trifluoroethylene content is higher than or equal to X. This copolymer is obtained by copolymerisation in aqueous suspension by reaction, in a first step, of a mixture of vinylidene fluoride and of trifluoroethylene in molar proportions of vinylidene fluoride of between 67 and 54% to 33 to 46% of trifluoroethylene and, in a second step, by progressive addition of vinylidene fluoride to the reaction mixture in proportions such that the molar quantity of added vinylidene fluoride represents 145 to 180% of the number of moles of initial vinylidene fluoride.

Title: Circuit arrangement for the generation of a dephased sine wave voltage
IPC: H03B21/00
Filed: 1989-04-13
Granted: 1993-01-13
Abstract: In general, commutation pulses which control digital-analog converters are used for controlling multi-strand motors. In this case, one digital-analog converter is required for each strand. This means high circuit cost, since the digital-analog converters must have very tight tolerances in order to ensure even control of the strands. 
<??>The invention consists of a resistor network being used as a single digital-analog converter, consisting of N resistors connected together in a ring shape, N being an even number and the quotient of N and the number of strands having to be an integer. The strands are located distributed symmetrically at the junctions of the resistors. A control circuit switches a voltage source in a cyclic sequence to two diametrically opposite circuit points of the resistor network.

Abstract: A thin film transistor (2) is produced by applying onto a non-silicon foundation (1), a thin film of silicon semiconductor material (8) under such conditions that polycrystalline or microcrystalline material is formed. Source (3) and/or drain (4) regions of doped semiconductor material are then formed onto the film; following by applying insulating material (9) onto the film, and a gate region onto the insulating material. The source and/or drain regions are applied so that such regions have a crystalline structure that depends upon the crystalline structure of the underlying thin film. The resulting source and drain regions have high lateral conductivity so that source and drain contacts (5,6) can be made with reduced cross-sectional areas. The method may employ a self-alignment process to simplify device production.

Title: Method and apparatus for the copy grinding of cylindrical or spherical surfaces
IPC: B24B21/02
Filed: 1989-08-24
Granted: 1992-12-02
Abstract: Provided before a method consisting of precision grinding with subsequent finish grinding is a grinding phase in which the grinding belt (21) is movably pressed under predetermined pressure against the outer surface (45') of the preheated cylinder (45) to be machined within a certain clearance X or X', adjustable by means of an adjusting device (30), between a copying template (10) and a contact roller (23) in such a way that, in this preliminary grinding phase, stock is uniformly removed from the cylinder surface (45') irrespective of its geometry. After a surface layer of the cylinder (45) formed from various particles has been ground down, the proportional pressures applied to the belt-grinding unit (1) are changed in such a way that, in the now following first grinding phase, the actual precision grinding, a fixed connection is set between the copying template (10) and the contact roller (30). A uniform distribution of temperature and thus also a uniform expansion of the cylinder surface (45'), which is of importance especially in the radial direction, are thereby ensured, as a result of which a more accurate cylinder geometry is achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un conduit interne (4) anti-reflux pour l'uretère, qui sert de cathéter (4) pour l'uretère fermé du côté du rein et pourvu de perforations latérales (5) uniquement dans ses sections supérieure et moyenne, est pourvu sur son ouverture du côté de la vessie d'une soupape à capuchon (7) qui empêche un reflux de l'urine. La soupape à capuchon (7) est formée d'une pellicule en matière plastique en forme de capuchon qui entoure partiellement la circonférence de l'extrémité chanfreinée (6) du cathéter du côté de la vessie, et qui, lorsqu'un reflux d'urine s'amorce, se déforme sous l'influence différentielle, fermant l'ouverture du cathéter jusqu'à la cessation de l'augmentation de la pression dans la vessie. L'admission dans le cathéter (4) à conduit se fait par plusieurs orifices latéraux (5) ménagés dans les sections supérieure et moyenne, la paroi latérale de la section inférieure est fermée, et l'évacuation se fait par l'ouverture (6) du cathéter du côté de la vessie, qui est complètement ouverte lorsque la soupape à capuchon (7) est au repos. Un capuchon en gélatine (12) qui entoure la soupape (7) peut être inséré sur l'extrémité (6) du conduit du côté de la vessie. Lors de l'introduction du cathéter à conduit antireflux (4), le fil métallique de guidage et de redressement (9) s'appuie sur le capuchon en gélatine (12) qui, lorsque le conduit intérieur (4) est en position dans l'uretère, est poussé à travers la lumière de la vessie et se dissout dans l'urine. On peut ainsi introduire directement ce cathéter (4) d'uretère de haut en bas, par exemple lors d'une incision chirurgicale, sans endommager la fragile soupape à capuchon (7).

Abstract: Improved stabilizer compositions are provided which impart significant long-term heat stabilization to halogen-containing vinyl polymers such as polyvinyl chloride. The improved stabilizer compositions combine one or more metal-containing primary stabilizer compounds with a finely divided co-stabilizing phosphate material of a predetermined surface area. The phosphate material includes an anhydrous or hydrous sodium or potassium monohydrogen phosphate, lithium dihydrogen phosphate, or alkali-metal pyrophosphate. The novel combination of stabilizers enables a reduction in the amount of metal-containing stabilizer, if desired, while still yielding long-term stability in the resultant polymer, or provides the ability to raise process temperature and reduce cycle times of molding operations.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided to ensure accuracy of a measurement signal obtained using a potentiometric sensor (10) placed in a solution (12). The apparatus includes an interface amplifier (26) that generates a relatively large turn-on bias current whenever the amplifier is initially powered on. To avoid polarization of the potentiometric sensor (10) by the turn-on bias current, a switch device (40) is used to direct the turn-on bias current along a path away from the potentiometric sensor (10). The switch device (40) is controlled using a timer circuit (42) that causes a change in position of the switch device (40) after a predetermined time delay. During the time delay, the bias current reduces to a normal value and polarization of the potentiometric sensor (10) has been avoided. An accurate measurement of a physical parameter associated with the solution can then be taken without the detrimental effect of the turn-on bias current on the potentiometric sensor. The apparatus has particular utility in obtaining water quality data, such as hydrogen potential, specific ion potential and oxygen reduction potential.
