Abstract: A process for the treatment of non-keratinaceous textiles, preferably cellulosic fibers, which comprises the step of treating the textiles with a composition which comprises: a self-crosslinking polymer and a nucleophilic species (preferably a polymer comprising at least one protected thiol group), and a textile compatible carrier. Under domestic washing conditions the polymer forms reactive thiol groups which are capable of causing covalent cross-linking with the polymer. Preferably, the thiol group is protected as an isothiouronium group.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil et sur un procédé permettant d'accroître la performance d'un laser solide. Le laser solide utilise de préférence un milieu à gain de la forme d'un disque, un rayonnement d'une pompe optique étant injecté dans le bord périphérique du disque. Dans une réalisation préférée, le milieu à gain laser est pourvu de revêtements optiques de façon à fonctionner dans une configuration de miroir actif. Le milieu à gain laser est également serré par pression sur un substrat rigide, refroidi, qui lui permet de conserver une forme définie même lorsqu'il accuse une charge thermique importante. Il est possible d'amener un milieu de refroidissement dans un échangeur thermique interne au substrat et/ou de faire écouler ce milieu dans les passages ménagés sur la surface du substrat, ce qui refroidit directement le milieu à gain laser. On place des sources de rayonnement de pompe optique sur le périmètre du milieu à gain. Il est possible de disposer des conduits coniques entre les sources et le milieu à gain en vue de concentrer le rayonnement de la pompe optique. Avec un dopage déterminé de milieu à gain laser et une divergence et une géométrie de source de pompage correctes, le gain laser s'avère être uniforme dans sa quasi totalité.

Abstract: A video-scrambling system induces a random wobble i.e., time shifting, in the location of active portion of the video frame, without affecting the horizontal sync signal and colorburst in each video line, thus providing both security and concealment. The security is enhanced by filling in the gap between the nominal beginning of active video and the actual beginning of active video with a synthesized video signal which replicates the adjacent active video using a digitally generated filling pattern. Also, a random noise overlay further conceals the location of the gap. Additional concealment is provided by wiggling in time the location of the horizontal sync signal using one or two frequencies and also by randomly altering the location of the vertical sync signal. The NTSC digital encoding in accordance with the invention is simplified by using only two channels, chrominance and luminance, and by a heterodyne circuit for chrominance stability. NTSC encoding is enhanced by providing detail normally lost, by use of the chroma channel. Additionally, a non-standard video signal may be provided with a portion of the colorburst on the front porch of the horizontal blanking, thus allowing use of a relatively simple decoder.
