Patent EP-0267960-A4 (EP)
Title: Auxiliary air conditioning, heating and engine warming system for trucks.
Inventor: GREER J REX
IPC: B60H1/03
Filed: 1987-06-01
Abstract: A small lightweight auxiliary power plant including an engine, electrical alternator, water pump, air conditioning compressor and a heat exchanger is mounted at a convenient location on the tractor of a truck or other large vehicle. The main engine of the truck operates the existing truck air conditioning and heating system in a normal manner when the main engine is running. When the main engine of the truck is not operating and the smaller engine of the auxiliary power plant is operating, the truck air conditioning and heating system is operated by the auxiliary power plant. The heat exchanger of the auxiliary power plant then utilizes the heat of exhaust gases generated by the auxiliary power plant engine to warm the truck engine during the time it is not operating so that easy starting of the truck engine is made possible even in very cold regions. The electrical alternator of the auxiliary power plant supplies electrical power for the truck electrical system when the truck engine is not running. The truck storage batteries serve the electrical systems of the truck and the auxiliary power plant. The auxiliary power plant serves as an emergency back-up system if the truck alternator or compressor should fail. The arrangement reduces air pollution caused by operation of the truck engine for long periods of time while the truck is stopped. Provision can be made for warming the fuel tanks and fuel lines to prevent fuel gelling in cold climates.

Patent EP-0408575-A4 (EP)
Title: Reference electrode
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 1989-02-15
Abstract: An improved reference electrode is disclosed for use in potentiometric measurements of the amount of ions in an aqueous solution. The reference electrode illustratively comprises a metal member on a substrate, and a layer of a salt reversible to the ion X overlying the metal member. The reference electrode is overlaid by a quantity of an electrolyte, which may be a polymer gel having a salt including the ion X dispersed therein. This structure is overlaid by a membrane permeable to water but not to the ion X that extends beyond the portion of the electrolyte overlying the electrode, but leaves a portion of the electrolyte exposed. This assembly may be shipped dry. In use, when the electrode is disposed in an aqueous solution containing an ionic species to be measured, water permeates the membrane and "wets up" the electrolyte relatively quickly. Any changes in ionic concentration, however, have to be made over a substantially longer path through the electrolyte between the electrode and the exposed portion such that the transit time for such changes is substantially longer than the wet-up time of the electrolyte. This reference electrode may be used in combination with a wide variety of potentiometric indicating electrodes or other structures.
Patent EP-0374217-A4 (EP)
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 1989-04-20
Abstract: On combine des phases immiscibles, notamment des liquides, des semi-solides ou des solides polaires ou non polaires, dans une composition dans laquelle l'un des éléments est finement dispersé à travers l'autre sans qu'il soit besoin d'utiliser d'agents émulsifiants pour créer ou pour stabiliser la dispersion. On forme la composition en plaçant la phase discontinue dans les pores de particules poreuses inertes solides, dont les pores se présentent sous la forme d'un réseau interconnecté ouvert sur l'extérieur des particules de manière à créer un contact interfacial avec la phase continue. On disperse ensuite les particules dans la phase continue. On peut appliquer ce concept à des dispersions de type aqueux et de type huileux, les inconvénients et faiblesses des agents émulsifiants étant entièrement évités.

Patent EP-0585394-A4 (EP)
Title: Flocked fabric printing
Inventor: BLANTON G KELLY
IPC: D06P5/00
Filed: 1992-05-20
Abstract: A flocked fabric has colors with long wearing capabilities and includes a textile substrate and raised disperse-dyeable fibers adhered to the substrate, an opaque particulate colorant adhering to the raised fibers and arrayed on the fabric in a printed pattern. A dye other than the opaque particulate colorant is also arrayed on the fabric in other portions of the printed pattern, such as in a blotch. A melamine-latex binder system causes the opaque particulate material to adhere to the fibers, and a resist causes the other dye not to dye the fibers in the area of the malamine-latex binder system. The opaque particulate colorant is adhered to the fibers strongly enough to show only very little wear after 15,000 cycles on a Wyzenbeek abrasion test.
