Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing especially PET granulates, wherein terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol are fed in the form of a precondensate into a drip tower having a distributing drip nozzle after esterification and pre-polycondensation with the purpose of effecting granulation. The precondensate exits the distributing drip nozzle by forming drop-shaped pellets that are blown by a hot countercurrent nitrogen stream reducing the velocity of fall and accelerating crystallization at an increasing degree of crystallization. Dried, semi-crystallized round pellets are thus produced that are then subjected to solid phase polycondensation resulting in pellets possessing high viscosity and quality for further processing.

Abstract: Ce commutateur électrique (62) comporte un substrat (64) pourvu d'une paire de contacts de commutation écartés (82, 84) disposés pour un court-circuit par une palette électroconductrice (78). Cette palette (78) définit un axe central dont une première et une seconde partie situées de part et d'autre de l'axe se terminent contre un premier et un second bord. La palette (78) est normalement tenue éloignée des contacts (82, 84) par attraction magnétique vers une couche de couplage (70) maintenue à distance du substrat (64). Une force d'actionnement permet d'amener la palette (78) en contact avec le substrat (64). Un double mouvement de pivotement provoque la séparation entre la palette (78) et la couche de couplage (70). L'application d'une force d'actionnement sur la palette (78) à distance de l'axe central de cette dernière fait qu'un bord de la palette le plus proche de la force d'actionnement se détache de la couche de couplage (70). La palette (78) vient alors pivoter autour du bord opposé de la palette (78) jusqu'à ce qu'un bord vienne retomber sur le substrat (64). Il s'ensuit que le bord opposé de la palette (78) se sépare de la couche de couplage (70) et pivote autour de ce bord jusqu'à ce que le bord opposé retombe sur le substrat.

Abstract: Device for the osteosynthesis of a spinal segment by the anterior route, which comprises at least two bone anchorage elements for anchorage in the vertebral bodies by the anterior route, a frame comprising a rod adapted to be received in the bone anchorage elements, a plate disposed roughly parallel to the rod and rigidly connected to the latter to form a closed frame. Means are provided for clamping the rod in the anchorage elements so as to fix the latter at a predetermined distance apart, and screws extend through openings in the plate which are so profiled that the screwing of the screws in the vertebrae automatically brings the two adjacent vertebrae closer together and thus achieves a compression of an intervertebral filler replacing a vertebral disk. The association of a plate and a rod in the form of a frame affords the advantage of providing four vertebral anchorage points instead of only two in devices of the prior art, which prevents any offsetting of one vertebra relative to the other.
