Abstract: The device is for protection against cases of disturbance in railways tunnels. It involves a monitoring station (1) before the entry into the tunnel (T) and equipped with detectors for at least one source of risk. A shunting area (3) is provided with at least one track (4) for such wagons as present a risk which is detected. At the monitoring station the train is monitored during its journey. The station is so positioned before the tunnel entrance that a train with risk-promoting wagons can be stopped safely prior to entering the tunnel and diverted to an appropriate shunting track.

Abstract: In an automatic mechanical pencil, breakage of a lead can be
prevented and a lead protruded from a slider (4) can be housed in the
slider. At the frond portion of a mouthpiece, the slider is
disposed movably in an axial direction. Within the mouthpiece (2),
a chuck and a chuck ring (8) are provided so that an advancing
movement of the lead is permitted, but a retracting movement of
the lead is prevented. Between the slider and the chuck, a lead
supply spring (19) is provided. The chuck ring is disposed movably
in an axial direction in the mouthpiece and pressed in an
axially forward direction by a writing pressure spring (24). At the
rear portion of the chuck, a chuck stopper (23) is provided with a
distance (22) from the rear end of the chuck. After the chuck retracts
in a predetermined distance, it is stopped by a chuck stopper.
Even if the retracting movement of the chuck is stopped, the
slider and the lead can be housed in the mouthpiece since the
chuck ring can retract by being pressed by the slider.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un produit de nettoyage de parties du corps humain ou d'objets entrant en contact avec celles-ci. Dans des produits d'hygiène buccale, il a été démontré que les cystéines protéinases ont une action de nettoyage et de blanchiment des dents. Toutefois, les tissus souffrent d'une détérioration due à une action prolongée des cystéines protéinases. Dans cette invention, on utilise des cystéines protéinases humaines naturelles à des fins de nettoyage et de blanchiment, activités pouvant être bloquées par des inhibiteurs de cystéines protéinases naturelles, libérés en second lieu par ces produits ultérieurement. Selon l'invention, on peut ajouter au produit hygiénique les propres cystéines protéinases du corps et/ou un agent activant cette cystéine protéinase. On peut également utiliser l'agent activant tel quel, parce que l'agent activant active la cystéine protéinase présente dans son milieu biologique. En particulier, l'utilisation de cystéines protéinases naturelles et de leurs inhibiteurs présente l'avantage d'être des propres protéines de l'homme, ce qui réduit les risques d'allergies. En outre, leur cinétique enzymatique est actuellement bien connue.

Abstract: Pour le chargement de lots de pièces de produits alimentaires avec vérification de leur poids, on approvisionne d'abord ces pièces en série en maintenant un espacement entre elles, puis on les pèse sur un dispositif de pesage dynamique utilisant un algorithme de pesage unique. Des dispositifs de pesage assez similaires sont connus pour fonctionner en mode de pesage par flux ou par sommation, ce qui ne nécessite pas l'approvisionnement individuel des articles approvisionnés lors de l'utilisation d'un algorithme spécial. Dans cette invention, ces techniques sont combinées afin de gérer un flux d'approvisionnement en vrac, comportant des pièces séparées et non séparées, au moyen d'un détecteur qui permet de déterminer si les pièces en question sont suffisamment séparées pour être pesées une à une à des fins de traitement pas lots, ces pièces seront dans le cas échéant pesées par flux, par exemple pour la formation de lots importants. Par ailleurs, on peut utiliser un seul et unique dispositif de pesage pour ces deux opérations, dans la mesure où sur la base de cette détection, il est établi au fur et à mesure si le signal de pesage doit être traité en fonction de l'un ou de l'autre algorithme, ou en fonction de la meilleure option convenant aux situations réelles opérationnelles.

Abstract: In the present invention, when multi-code
transmission is performed, transmission side executes
conversion of amplitude to suppress the peak power, and
a reception side has an estimator for compensating a
distortion due to the conversion. In particular, as one
of the methods, the transmission side executes MOD
calculation for each chip, and the reception side
executes estimation for an amplitude lost by the MOD
calculation, thereby reducing the peak power to one-ninth.
In the estimation for the amplitude lost by the
MOD calculation, it is determined that the value of the
odd number times or even number times that of a MOD
denominator has more likelihood between all used codes.

Abstract: High molecular weight linear poly(propylene fumarate) having a relatively low polydispersity index by utilizing a relatively pure intermediate and a method for making same. Fumaryl chloride and propylene glycol are reacted in the presence of potassium carbonate. The potassium carbonate present in the reaction solution prevents the acid by-product from catalyzing reactions at the fumarate double bond. The bis(propyl fumarate) produced according to this technique can be transesterified using conventional processing steps to yield P(PF). The P(PF) produced from bis(propyl fumarate) produced according to the present method has a higher molecular weight and is purer than P(PF) produced using previously known techniques.

Abstract: A low NOx burner and related method are disclosed including the steps of supplying a first reactant stream and introducing a second reactant stream into the first reactant stream at a first point so as to produce co-flowing streams. This resulting fuel/oxidant stream is discharged into a furnace environment having inert combustion products substantially equilibrated to furnace temperature, so as to entrain the combustion products and mix them together with the co-flowing stream. The temperature of the co-flowing stream is increased by the entrained products until it ignites in a combustion region displaced from the first point. Thus ignition cannot occur until the reactant stream has been diluted by inert products of combustion, reducing both oxygen concentration and peak flame temperature, so as to suppress NOx production.
