Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling the range of a projectile propelled by a rocket motor. An actual value of a quantity clearly correlating with the distance covered by the projectile is continuously determined during the propulsion. The actual value thus determined is continuously compared with a predefined set-point value, which for the projectile in question corresponds to a predetermined range. When the actual value has been found to be at least equal to the set-point value the propulsion capability of the rocket motor is instantaneously terminated. The arrangement according to the invention comprises a calculation element arranged outside the projectile and preferably stationary, which is designed on the basis of a predetermined range and using known mechanical correlations to calculate a set-point quantity corresponding to the predetermined range. Located on board the projectile are a memory element designed to store the set-point value transmitted from the calculation element, an element measuring the acceleration of the projectile after firing, a second calculation element connected to the acceleration measuring element and designed to continuously calculate an actual range value from the acceleration, a comparing element designed to continuously compare the range set-point quantity with the actual range value and to terminate the propulsion capability of the rocket motor instantaneously when the actual value is at least equal to the set-point value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for attaching and forming enclosed inflatable members on an endoscope assembly with a disposable sheath are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a flexible and resilient cuff member that is positioned on the outer surface of the disposable sheath and sealably and fixedly bonded to the sheath cover material at the cuff edges to form an annular space capable of being inflated. The inflatable member formed thereby is inflated through a lumen internal to the sheath that has an opening into the interior annular space. In another embodiment, the annular space may be divided into separate inflatable lobes. In still another embodiment, the cuff member is a flexible and resilient member that is substantially toroidal in shape that is positioned on the outer surface of the sheath. In a further embodiment, the inflatable member is formed from an excess length of sheath cover material disposed on the disposable sheath. A single reentrant fold of sheath material is formed with an edge that is sealably and fixedly bonded to the sheath cover material to form an annular space capable of inflation. In alternate embodiments, the excess length of cover material may be used to form members with dual reentrant folds that comprise inflatable members with single and dual inflatable lobes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de nettoyer des surfaces d'impuretés d'hydrocarbures telles que du pétrole brut, des produits pétroliers, des agents lubrifiants, des graisses à usage technique ou ménager et des huiles. Ces procédés peuvent être mis en oeuvre dans diverses branches du nettoyage et lavage chimique et mécanique de moyens de transport et de traitement. L'objet technique de cette invention a trait à la simplification du processus de nettoyage, à l'augmentation de la récupération des impuretés d'hydrocarbures durant la régénération de la solution de lavage, et à la diminution de la consommation d'énergie nécessaire à la réalisation du processus de nettoyage. Ce résultat technique a pu être obtenu grâce à quelques changements et modifications introduits dans le procédé en cycle fermé connu d'élimination d'impuretés d'hydrocarbure sur des surfaces. Ce nouveau procédé consiste à préparer une solution aqueuse détergente contenant un surfactant non ionique et une composante active, à laver la surface à l'aide de cette solution aqueuse détergente, à pomper l'émulsion obtenue, à séparer l'émulsion en des phases aqueuse et organique, puis à renvoyer la phase aqueuse dans le cycle de nettoyage et à décharger périodiquement la phase organique dans une cuve de stockage.

Abstract: An electrochemical sensor and method for using such a sensor to monitor signals generated by biological cells. The sensor comprises a first well for receiving a culture medium including biological cells, the first well including a working electrode a portion of which is exposed to any liquid introduced into the well. The exposed surface is capable of supporting a layer of biological cells. An adjacent second well receives an in situ reference electrode or can receive an inserted electrode, the two wells being separated by a wall. The wall is arranged such that, if the first well is filled with an electrochemically conductive culture medium to a first level sufficient to immerse the working electrode, and the second well is filled with an electrochemically conductive culture medium to a second level, electrochemical continuity is established between the liquids within the wells. The electrochemical activity of cells forming a confluent layer on the working electrode can be determined by monitoring signals developed between the working and reference electrodes. Electrochemical continuity between the working two cells can be achieved in various ways, for example by forming an opening in the wall, e.g. a notch in an upper edge of the wall, or positioning an ion permeable material between the wells. A common reference electrode can be provided in a single second well or extending beneath a series of second wells.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing and processing polyester block copolymers, in particular, polyester side-chain grafted, rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers. According to the invention, the monomeric units of rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers are, preferably in the melt, polycondensated together with monofunctionalized and/or difunctionalized, cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides to form polymers having anhydride terminal and/or side groups. The formed polyester anhydrides are reacted with the hydroxyl groups and/or with the ester groups of meltable linear polyesters in order to form side-chain grafted, rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chained polymers and, together with meltable polyesters, they form molecularly reinforced blends. These blends can be shaped into filaments or fibers having a high orientation of the reinforcing polymer or they serve as compatibility mediators in blends consisting of a polyester matrix and of rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers.
