Abstract: The microvalve has a flat support (12), with an inlet microchannel (14) and an outlet microchannel (16) made in the internal face of the support so an end of each microchannel opens near the other. A heat-sensitive material (18) is deposited on the internal face of the support between the ends. When the temperature of the material is raised by a heater (20), fluid flow is restored : The microvalve also includes a coating (22) fixed to the support (12). The heat-sensitive material is a thermofusible material such as a thermofusible polymer or glue. Alternatively, the heat-sensitive material is a thermoexpanding or thermoretracting material, or a pyrotechnic material such as a nitrocellulose- based material. The heater is a conducting route (20) with conducting zones (202, 203) and at least one heating zone (201) which is at least partially in contact with the heat-sensitive material deposit. The temperature rise is achieved by applying an electrical current to the conducting route. The heating zone is made of a resistive material or is a restriction in the conducting route. The thermoexpanding material is placed in a pit on the internal face of the support. The coating layer has a gap in the ends of the microchannels. The microvalve can also include means of evacuating gas. Independent claims are included for: (1) a method of making the microvalve by making the support containing the microchannels, depositing the heat-sensitive material and depositing the conducting route (or the conducting route and then the heat-sensitive material). A coating layer may be added by fixing a film to the support. The heat-sensitive material and the coating are fixed to the support by cold or hot lamination using a thermofusible glue; (2) a system including such a microvalve or a microvalve made using the method described; (3) opening a microvalve as described by applying an electrical current to the conducting route, raising the temperature of the heating zone, modifying the structure of the heat-sensitive material, at least partially unblocking the connection of the two microchannels and allowing fluid flow.

Abstract: Dinitriles (I) are separated from mixtures obtained by the hydrocyanation of unsaturated mono-nitriles by distillation in a single column to give a top product and a bottom product containing low- and high-boilers respectively, and an intermediate fraction containing (I) which is taken off at a point below the feed point. A method for the production and separation of dinitriles (I) from a mixture obtained by the hydrocyanation of unsaturated mono-nitriles (I), involves distillation in a column to give a top fraction containing compounds with a boiling point below that of (I), an intermediate fraction containing (I) (from a theoretical plate in part of the column below the feed point) and a bottom fraction containing higher-boiling products.

Abstract: The invention is relative to a Navigation and positioning system consisting in a measuring system of the relative position between its extremities, having one extremity fixed to the floor, the other suspended in order to compensate the weight, eventually through a system of springs whose tension is controlled by motors and may be measured, in order to allow the arms of which the measuring device is made, to remain in any configuration is placed, balancing the suspended masses and transmitting the forces to the floor, or may be balanced with a clever choice of the constraints. The first condition may be realized for instance, but not exclusively, positioning a torsion spring whose tension is controlled by a motor between two links. On the same arms are mounted brakes that allow both blocking the joint in any position, or driving it directly with the motor bypassing the spring. This way the system may act as a measuring-Navigator not influencing the measure since it does not weights on the operator, but can, on command, turn into a highly precise positioning robot.

Abstract: An injection molding apparatus (210) having a manifold (212) and several manifold melt channels (214) communicating with several hot runner nozzles (230) includes a melt redistribution element (252,352). The melt redistribution element is placed at specific locations along the melt channels to balance the uneven shear stress profile accumulated during the flow of a melt along the manifold channels. The melt redistribution element has an unobstructed central melt bore (363) having at its inlet a narrowing tapered channel portion. The melt redistribution element also includes a helical melt pathway portion (358) that surrounds the central melt bore. The incoming melt is first subjected to a pressure increase by the tapered portion that causes the melt to flow at a higher velocity through the central melt bore. The outer portion of the melt is forced to flow along the helical path and thus it changes direction multiple times and partially mixes with the melt flowing through the central melt bore. Accordingly, at the outlet of the melt redistribution element the shear stress profile is more evenly distributed than at the inlet of the redistribution element.
