Abstract: Aqueous, anionic, acrylic polymer compositions comprising a copolymer of an alkyl acrylate, an alkyl methacrylate and one or more acrylate acids or salts thereof are disclosed. By controlling the particle size of the copolymer and introducing a surfactant, enhanced freeze-thaw stability can be obtained with the polymer compositions of the present invention. The polymer compositions are compatible in all-aqueous hairspray compositions, as well as those which contain up to about 80 weight percent volatile organic compounds, or more.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for evaluating the characteristic absorption of one or more materials in a material mixture, radiation pulses, alternately with at least one wavelength characteristic of a material to be measured and one wavelength not characteristic thereof, propagating through a measuring path (5) on which the material mixture is located, a reference path (6) without material mixture and at least one calibration path (7; 8), and subsequently being converted into electrical signals. In this case, before the actual formation of measured values, each individual pulse of the electrical signal (12; 22) is evaluated for interference and if necessary corrected. By taking the difference between the signal from the measurement section (13; 14) and the reference-path signal (23; 24), the influence of the radiation source and all other interference sources in the measurement system itself on the measured value is minimised. This difference signal is subsequently selected in the frequency domain and/or in the time domain, evaluated once more and optionally corrected before it is output as measured value. The reference-path signal (22) and at least one calibration-path signal (32; 42) are furthermore fed to a radiation-source stabilisation system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The apparatus, in particular a coffee machine, comprises three storage water heaters (1, 2, 3) for heating water. For this, there is arranged in each of the storage water heaters in each case one heating element (10, 11, 12) which can be switched on and off via in each case one switching means (20, 21, 22) which are present in a control device (16). Furthermore, in each case one temperature sensor (13, 14, 15) for measuring the hot-water temperature is present in each of the storage water heaters. The control device (16) furthermore has computational means (17) and storage means (18, 19). Preset desired-value temperatures for the water temperature in the individual storage water heaters and the maximum supply output available to the coffee machine, inter alia, can be stored in the storage means (18, 19). The control device is designed so that, based on the water-temperature course in the individual storage water heaters, heat can be apportioned to that storage water heater which requires it first, based on a certain order of priority. At the same time, it is monitored that no more heat can be taken up by the coffee machine than is available to the supply output. As a result of this variable apportioning of heat to the individual storage water heaters, it is also possible to obtain a large number of beverages even if the maximum-available supply output is not sufficient to supply all heating elements simultaneously with energy. The apportioning of heat takes place in the apparatus according to the invention as a function of the supply energy and as a function of the energy requirement of the individual storage water heaters. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A material treatment process, and particularly such a process for the destruction of waste material. The process involves pyrolysis of waste material within a plasma torch and a hot zone which receives the material stream from the torch. Waste material is injected into the torch as a fine spray and/or as a gas, and the direction of injection is generally transverse to the direction of movement of the plasma through the torch. The location of the injection is such that the waste material is injected directly into the core of the plasma. The hot zone is of a length such as to ensure complete pyrolysis of the material, and that zone is immediately followed by a cooling zone in which the material is subjected to very rapid quenching. The material stream entering the cooling zone is at a temperature above that at which CO in the material stream tends to re-form into CO2 in the material stream includes particulate carbon which is used to absorb residual toxic compounds when the material is subjected to an alkaline environment within the cooling zone and/or a scrubber following that zone.

Abstract: Processing of  beta -amyloid precursor protein ( beta APP) is monitored by detecting the secretion of a soluble  beta APP fragment resulting from cleavage of  beta APP at the amino-terminus of  beta -amyloid peptide. In vivo monitoring of secretion of the  beta APP fragment may be monitored for diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease and other  beta -amyloid-related diseases, while in vitro monitoring of such secretion from cultured cells may be monitored to identify inhibitors of  beta -amyloid production. The  beta APP fragment may be detected using antibodies and other specific binding substances which recognize a carboxy-terminal residue on the fragment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a holographic display for the holographic representation of three-dimensional images for use in CAD systems in the fields of computer vision, virtual reality and computer games, in medical technology as CT output as a head-up display and in other fields. Sufficiently coherent light is phase and/or amplitude modulated in each cell of the information substrate and radiated pointwise and hence at a wide angle. The light spots are distributed on a surface at irregular intervals, the optical allocation to the individual cells being maintained. A 3D image is generated which can be observed at a wide angle. The regularity of the cell arrangement in the information substrate is largely maintained. Hence image superimpositions caused by periodicity are suppressed within the angle of observation.
