Patent EP-0409958-B1 (EP)

Abstract: Le dispositif électro-optique décrit contient un cristal liquide nématique chiral disposé entre des plaques planes traitées de façon à soutenir légèrement l'orientation moléculaire le long d'un sens préféré parallèle aux plaques. Les plaques sont espacées par une distance faible comparée aux pas de l'hélice typiques dans une masse du matériau ou de l'hélice compensée par des additifs pour assurer une situation équivalente. Grâce à l'application depuis l'extérieur d'un champ électrique, l'orientation moléculaire du cristal liquide est amenée à effectuer une rotation dans un plan parallèle aux plaques en s'éloignant de l'orientation préférée selon un angle dont le signe et la grandeur dépendent du signe et de l'amplitude du champ électrique. L'axe optique du cristal liquide, dirigé dans le sens de l'orientation moléculaire, est ainsi commandé par le champ électrique externe, de façon à permettre la création d'un relais optique linéaire ou autre dispositif électro-optique similaire.

Abstract: Two enzymes, one an acetylmorphine carboxyesterase (AMCE), the other a morphine dehydrogenase (MDH), have been isolated from bacteria. The AMCE degrades heroin to morphine and the MDH oxidises morphine to morphinone, with the aid of a cofactor. These reactions are used in detection of heroin (using the two reactions coupled together) or morphine. The enzymes can be incorporated in sensors for this purpose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for the high-speed flame-spraying of refractory filler materials in the form of wire and powder for the coating of surfaces, wherein, by means of at least two gas-mixing systems running independently of one another, the spraying filler material in the form of wire or powder, introduced into a primary combustion chamber, is fused by primary heating flames arranged concentrically around a charging channel, accelerated by the resulting high-speed flame and passed through a primary expansion nozzle bore into a downstream secondary combustion chamber, through which the primary high-speed flame passes at supersonic speed, taking along the melt-plastic filler materials, and which leads into a downstream water-cooled secondary expansion nozzle, axially widened centrically, or into the bore thereof, so that a zone of reduced pressure is generated in the region of secondary fuel gas/oxygen channels arranged radially, axially and/or in a focusing manner and leading into the secondary combustion chamber, and a fuel gas mixture can be fed at low inflow pressures and, in the secondary chamber, the fuel gas mixture is ignited and expanded radially, axially around the primary high-speed flame and, due to a high flame temperature and an extreme ignition and combustion rate, contributes to the final fusion of the spray filler materials and to their additional acceleration. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for preparing sulfonyl acids from mercaptans in a single reactor. The mercaptan is converted to a mercaptide and reacted with an acrylic acid or salt thereof in a basic reaction medium. After formation of the thioether, the reaction medium is treated with chlorine gas to oxidize the thioether to the sulfone. Mild conditions and readily available starting materials render the method capable of preparing such acids efficiently in large scale amounts.

The improved deinking results in higher whiteness and better cleanliness (fewer ink particles) in paper made from the treated pulp after separation of ink particles. This cellulase treatment results in better operation of certain equipment such as thickeners and in better drainage of the pulp during paper making.

Abstract: This method minimises the local accumulation of lift cabins (cluster formation) in that closely adjacent stops are concentrated to one cabin which is promoted by a variable and controllable distribution bonus (Bvn). For this purpose, the estimated costs of lost time (GVK) for all passengers are calculated for each lift and for each storey call, these estimated costs of lost time (GVK) are reduced by a variable distribution bonus (Bv) concentrating adjacent stops to one cabin and a storey call is allocated for service by that lift which has the lowest reduced estimated costs of lost time (GVK red.min.). Both the estimated costs of lost time (GVK) and the variable distribution bonus (Bv) are calculated in accordance with closed formulae. To ensure that this method operates both with a high and with a low traffic load (Va), the variable distribution bonus (Bv) is corrected by means of a correction function (F[Va]) in accordance with the relation Bvn = Bv F[Va] in accordance with the traffic load (Va) as correction parameter (NFP) and thus the variable correctable distribution bonus (Bvn) defined (SR18). The correction function F[Va] can be determined by means of KI method according to Step 16 (SR16) or in accordance with expert programs according to Step 17 (SR17). 
<??>Keeping down the local accumulation of lift cabins is optimum for each traffic load (Va) with the traffic-dependence of the distribution bonus (Bvn). 
<??>This method can be applied to a large number of different service requests, allocation criteria and correction parameters (NFP).
