Patent EP-0670929-B1 (EP)

IPC: D21C9/16

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for bleaching of lignocellulose-containing pulp, where the pulp is first treated with a complexing agent, then delignified with an organic peracid or a salt thereof, and subsequently bleached with a peroxide-containing compound, ozone or sodium dithionite. Before bleaching, the pulp is washed at a pH of at least about 4. Suitably, delignification is performed with the strongly oxidizing peracetic acid, so that a considerable increase in brightness as well as a considerable reduction of the kappa number are obtained after said bleaching. The brightness-increasing effect is very selective, i.e. the viscosity of the pulp is maintained to a relatively great extent. By a suitable choice of pH in all the stages before the chlorine-free bleaching, the advantageous metal ions are retained in the pulp, while at the same time the pH adjustment between the stages is minimized and the resulting spent bleach liquors are advantageously used internally, e.g. for washing the pulp.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the continuous preparation of a mixture of a cycloalkanone, a cycloalkanol and a cycloalkylhydroperoxide. In the method, a cycloalkane, corresponding to the cycloalkenone, cycloalkenol and cycloalkylhydroperoxide, is oxidized in a continuous process, with the aid of an oxygen-containing gas, in the absence of a metal catalyst, at a temperature of between 130 DEG  C. and 200 DEG  C. The oxidation is at least partly carried out in the presence of between 0.002 and 2 mmol of a phenolic compound per kg of reaction mixture (mmol/kg).

Abstract: A method and device for controlling sleep disorder breathing utilizes variable multiple level pressures. A pressure source supplies compressed breathable gas at a relatively low pressure to the user's airway. Pressure transducers monitor pressures and convert them into electrical signals. The electrical signals are filtered and processed to extract specific features such as duration and energy levels. If these features exceed selected threshold values for duration and energy level over a minimum period of time, then the microprocessor declares the presence of sleep disorder breathing. If a selected number of these events occur within a selected time period, then the microprocessor adjusts the pressure delivered by the pressure source. If sleep disorder breathing is not detected within a certain time period, then the microprocessor lowers the pressure level gradually. The device and method disclosed in this patent is capable of detecting apnea, hypopnea, and pharyngeal wall vibration. Further, it is able to distinguish between obstructive, central and mixed apnea and hypopnea.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for attaching an elastomeric film laminate web to the longitudinal side edges of an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin. The method involves using a system of different adhesive applying mechanisms (that is, glue guns) and different applications of adhesive in a spiral pattern to provide precise control over the pattern and the amount of adhesive applied to bond the web of material to the absorbent article. The method comprises applying a narrow spiral of adhesive to a first portion of the width of the web that is adjacent a first edge of the web; bringing the first portion of the web into contact with a first face of the sanitary napkin so that the remaining portion of the web extends outward beyond the edge of the sanitary napkin; applying a second narrow spiral of adhesive to a second portion of the width of the web adjacent the second edge of the same; folding the second portion of the width of the web onto the second face of the sanitary napkin to wrap the edge of the sanitary napkin; and securing the wrapped web to the sanitary napkin.

Abstract: Méthode de diagnostic de défaillances d'un circuit à haute pression utilisant une pompe (6) d'alimentation en carburant sous une pression donnée régulée par une vanne électromagnétique (7) commandée par un courant cyclique. Ladite méthode consiste à suivre le volume en corrélation avec la pression engendrée par la pompe (6) au cours des cycles successifs, à comparer les schémas des variations du volume avec des valeurs de référence et à produire des signaux d'alarme lorsqu'un schéma donné ne présente pas certaines relations prédéterminées avec les valeurs de référence. La vérification établit en particulier si la pression d'alimentation en carburant se situe au-delà ou en deçà de valeurs maximales ou minimales, si le cycle de fonctionnement de l'alimentation de la vanne électromagnétique (7) se situe au-delà ou en deçà des limites prédéterminées et s'il y a congruence entre une valeur mesurée de la pression et une valeur de référence calculée en fonction du cycle de fonctionnement.

Abstract: The present invention makes available a method for inducing neuronal differentiation and preventing the death or degeneration of neuronal cells both in vitro and in vivo. The subject method stems from the unexpected finding that, contrary to traditional understanding of neural induction, the default fate of ectodermal tissue is neuronal rather than mesodermal and/or epidermal. In particular, it has been discovered that preventing or antagonizing a signaling pathway in a cell for a growth factor of the TGF-beta family can result in neuronal differentiation of that cell.

Abstract: A D.C. reactor comprising a core structure having two opposed cores separated by a magnetic gap, to form a closed magnetic circuit; a coil would on one or both of the cores; a pair of permanent magnets for biasing, disposed on the core structure; magnetic flux generation means for causing the bias flux generated by the permanent magnets and the flux generated by the coils to flow in opposite directions; and bypass means for causing the bias flux generated by the permanent magnets to bypass the magnetic gap. The core structure comprises an E-shaped core and an I-shaped core, the magnetic gap is defined between a center leg of the E-shaped core and the I-shaped core, the coil is wound on the center leg of the E-shaped core, and each permanent magnet is shaped into a rectangle and disposed one both side surfaces of the center leg of the E-shaped core. The permanent magnet is a sheet-like permanent magnet magnetized so that each of its longitudinal direction and the direction of thickness forms two poles on each side, and the neutral line of this permanent magnet is brought into conformity with the center line of the magnetic gap and is disposed on both outer side surfaces of the core structure. Since the flux generated by the D.C. reactor does not pass inside the permanent magnet, an eddy current loss decreases, and even when a large current abruptly flows through the coil, the permanent magnet is not demagnetized. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of control to determine the comfort level of a tyre (102) of a wheel (101) for a vehicle is based on a dynamic tyre model (1) with a rigid ring (2) having concentrated parameters that represent construction characteristics of the tyre. Some concentrated parameters are measured, others are determined by parametric identification through a test of passing over an obstacle of the tyre (102). From the test eight curves of natural frequencies and dampenings are obtained that are compared with as many calculated curves obtained from the model. By checking the coincidence between the eight calculated curves and the eight experimental curves, the values of the other concentrated parameters are determined that cause the calculated frequencies and dampenings to coincide with the experimental ones. The values of the concentrated parameters obtained in this way are compared with ranges of values of dampenings and stiffnesses corresponding to pre-established indices of comfort, so as to approve those tyres wherein the concentrated parameters fall within predetermined intervals. <IMAGE>

Les fibres sont associées à une première direction, généralement parallèle à l'écoulement du mélange de moulage lorsque celui-ci s'écoule à travers l'entrée.
