Abstract: To seal gas pipes at the joints between sections, especially when carrying natural gas, gas appliances and the gas meter are initially disconnected and replaced by valves, for the interior of the gas pipe to be filled with a polymer suspension which penetrates into any leaks. To seal gas pipes at the joints between sections, especially when carrying natural gas, gas appliances and the gas meter are initially disconnected and replaced by valves, for the interior of the gas pipe to be filled with a polymer suspension which penetrates into any leaks. After a suitable dwell time of at least 30 minutes, the suspension is removed as compressed air is passed through the pipes with a temperature of 5-70[deg]C using air with a relative humidity of =99% which ejects the suspension and dries the pipes in a drying time of at least three minutes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a discrimination medium A for
discriminating the authenticity of an article by providing an optically
discriminating mark on the article. A film 20 having a light reflecting layer of
a polymer cholesteric liquid crystal having a circular polarization light
selectivity for reflecting a specific circular polarization light is fixed to a part of
the surface of a support 10. A printed portion is made by printing on the
portions other than the film 20 of the support 10 in substantially the same color
as that shown when the film 20 is viewed from the front. The discrimination
medium A appears to be red at the support 10 and the film 20 when viewed from
the front (although the film has a metallic luster), but at a larger viewing angle,
the film 20 changes to blue by the blue-shift of the polymer cholesteric liquid
crystal so as to exhibit a color different from that of the support 10.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un amplificateur opérationnel de faible puissance comprenant un étage différentiel d'entrée et un étage de sortie. L'étage différentiel d'entrée comprend un premier et un second transistor d'entrée couplés de façon différentielle, chacun de ces transistors comportant une électrode de base, une électrode émettrice et une électrode collectrice. Un circuit miroir de courant produisant un premier courant est couplé au premier et au second transistor d'entrée, ce premier courant perturbant la circulation du courant à travers le premier transistor d'entrée. L'étage de sortie est couplé à l'étage différentiel d'entrée et au circuit miroir de courant et produit un second courant plus important qui perturbe la circulation du courant à travers le second transistor d'entrée. Le rapport des zones émettrices du premier et du second transistor d'entrée est sélectionné de façon à éliminer sensiblement la tension de décalage due à la différence entre le premier et le second courant perturbateur. Ce dispositif convient particulièrement à des amplificateurs opérationnels bipolaires de catégorie A de faible puissance, tels que ceux employés dans des dispositifs médicaux de faible puissance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the ozone treatment of unground plant materials such as wheat grains. According to the invention, this process consists in allowing the plant material to stand for at least one day after a prehumidification followed by an ozonization involving a complementary humidification that adds from 3 to 10% by weight of water, based on the dry weight of the plant material. This process is applied especially to wheat grains. In this case, a process according to the invention that enables the ozone to reach the core of the grains is carried out in order to manufacture so-called "technological" flours. The physical and chemical properties of such flours, observed as a function of the parameters of the ozonization process, are presented.
