Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système complets prévus pour gérer des matières en vrac et des matières conditionnées et des biens au moyen de dispositifs d'identification des biens par radiofréquence et par d'autres moyens, des systèmes de calcul mobiles répartis, des environnements de stockage de données centralisés et des systèmes informatiques fondés sur une architecture client-serveur. De manière plus particulière, un processus a été mis au point afin de gérer l'expédition d'articles depuis les entreprises et les tierces parties jusqu'aux endroits déterminés par les clients. Les constituants de ce système sont des dispositifs d'identification électronique des biens, un dépôt de données central, un environnement de calcul mobile et des applications logicielles associées adaptées à un système client-serveur ou à un système informatique à N niveaux. L'environnement de calcul mobile comprend un logiciel qui permet aux utilisateurs de localiser physiquement les biens, de voir les informations relatives aux biens et de modifier de telles informations afin qu'elles reflètent l'état actuel des biens. Ces informations peuvent ensuite être échangées et synchronisées dans le système informatique à N niveaux. De plus, plusieurs membres du personnel associés au dispositif d'expédition peuvent avoir accès aux informations disponibles sur un réseau informatique tel que l'Internet. De cette manière, ces personnes peuvent facilement déterminer l'état de diverses expéditions et également agir rapidement sur les informations recueillies pendant les actualisations de l'état, ceci accélérant la résolution des éventuels problèmes pouvant apparaître.

Title: Method for producing metal foam bodies
Inventor: KRETZ RICHARD
IPC: C22C1/08
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a metal foam body, according to which a molten material containing gas is prepared and said molten material is left to solidify, thus forming a metal foam body. The aim of the invention is to produce high-quality metal foam bodies with a desired shape, without requiring complex equipment and whilst reducing the safety risk for the operating personnel. To achieve this, the material used is fused under atmospheric pressure and gas is simultaneously and/or subsequently introduced into the molten metal. The latter is then poured into a mould and is left to solidify, whereby the ambient pressure is reduced at least temporarily.

IPC: G02B26/06
Filed: 2003-07-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un élément stationnaire et reconfigurable permettant l'ingénierie d'un front d'onde d'un rayonnement électromagnétique. L'élément décrit dans cette invention comprend un matériau à changement de phase pouvant être modifié de manière réversible entre un état cristallin et un état amorphe. La formation d'un gradient de cristallinité permet d'introduire un réducteur de phase dans le matériau à changement de phase de l'élément instantané. Le réducteur de phase permet la régulation du déphasage du rayonnement électromagnétique réfléchi ou réémis. Un front d'onde incident du rayonnement électromagnétique interagit avec l'élément instantané et il est réémis avec des caractéristiques de propagation commandées imposées par le réducteur de phase intégré. L'élément instantané peut permettre d'obtenir une réflexion non-spéculaire, un pointage du faisceau, une focalisation, une défocalisation du faisceau, des effets transversaux asymétriques, et une correction du front d'onde. Dans un mode de réalisation privilégié, un motif de marques amorphes est formé dans la matrice cristalline du matériau à changement de phase. La régulation de la taille, de la forme, de l'espacement, de la symétrie et de la répartition des marques, permet de former des gradients de cristallinité de différentes longueurs dans un ou plusieurs sens de manière à obtenir des réducteurs de phase qui permettent la mise en oeuvre de l'ingénierie des fronts d'onde. L'invention concerne également un dispositif permettant de former des motifs de marques contenues dans l'élément instantané.

Abstract: Il est possible de traiter une condition médicale associée à une structure cardiaque par l'injection d'un agent polymère injectable dans la structure cardiaque de manière à former un squelette mécanique thérapeutique au sein même de la structure. En particulier, l'agent de formation de squelette injectable est un agent de colle de fibrine et est injecté dans des zones du myocarde endommagé tel que le tissu ischémique ou l'infarctus. Le dysfonctionnement de la paroi du ventricule gauche peut également être traité par l'injection de l'agent de formation de squelette dans la paroi du ventricule gauche. On peut combiner la thérapie cellulaire avec l'injection de la colle de fibrine ou d'un autre agent de squelette polymère. Les formes polymériques de l'agent peuvent être injectables en tant que matériaux précurseurs qui se polymérisent sous la forme d'un squelette in situ au sein de la structure cardiaque. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, les agents polymères sont injectés afin de fournir une angiogenèse thérapeutique, ou en vue d'induire un dépôt de cellules au sein de la zone injectée, par exemple en fournissant au polymère un fragment E ou des sites de liaison RGD.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the concentration of noble metals from fluorine-containing components of fuel cells, for example from PEM fuel cell stacks, DMFC fuel cells, catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs), membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), catalyst pastes, etc. The process is based on an optionally multi-step heat treatment process comprising a combustion and/or a melting process. It allows an inexpensive, simple concentration of noble materials. The hydrogen fluoride formed during the heat treatment of fluorine-containing components is bound by an inorganic additive so that no harmful hydrogen fluoride emissions occur. The process can be used for the recovery of noble metals that are present as components in fuel cells, electrolysis cells, batteries, and the like.
