Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'augmentation de l'efficacité de la production de para-xylène grâce à une séquence d'isomérisation en deux phases. Dans la première phase du procédé, on soumet une charge d'alimentation de substances aromatiques C9+ à une conversion d'éthylbenzène et une isomérisation de xylène. On retire les substances aromatiques autres que C¿8? de l'effluent que l'on traite ensuite dans une deuxième phase du procédé pour éliminer le para-xylène et isomériser l'effluent appauvri en para-xylène. L'effluent provenant de l'unité d'isomérisation de la deuxième phase est ensuite recyclé dans l'orifice d'admission de la deuxième phase du procédé et un filet s'écoulant du séparateur de para-xylène est recyclé dans la charge d'alimentation et dans l'effluent de l'unité de conversion d'éthylbenzène. De cette façon, on maximise la production de para-xylène. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on introduit conjointement un toluène dans la charge d'alimentation pour réduire les pertes de xylènes pendant la réaction de conversion d'éthylbenzène.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à isoler la L-β-3-indolylalanine (L-β-3) naturelle sensiblement pure d'un mélange d'acides aminés, notamment un hydrolysat de protéines. On fait passer un hydrolysat de protéines, de caséine ou de protéines de soja par exemple, sur une résine polymère présentant une affinité avec des acides aminés aromatiques, mais n'en présentant pas avec des acides aminés aliphatiques. Les acides aminés aromatiques sont fixés sur la résine alors que les acides aminés aliphatiques ne sont pas retenus par la résine et sont collectés. La résine est ensuite lavée à l'eau afin d'éluer les acides aliphatiques résiduels pouvant être physiquement associés et non pas liés à la résine. La résine est ensuite traitée au moyen d'un acide dilué afin d'éluer la L-phénylalanine and la L-tyrosine, et produit une solution de ces acides aminés permettant à L-β-3 d'être fixée sur la résine. On passe ensuite sur la résine une base diluée afin d'éluer la L-β-3 et de fournir une solution de L-β-3. Il est possible de récupérer de cette solution de la L-β-3 naturelle sensiblement pure.

Filed: 2012-11-16
Abstract: An endoscopic surgical instrument (1) includes a stationery component (2), an elongate shaft extending from the stationary component, and an end effector located at the distal end of the shaft. The stationary component (2) includes at least one contact portion (4) adapted to be engaged by the fingers of a user, the instrument also including a movable component (3) including a contact portion (5) adapted to be engaged by the thumb of a user. Longitudinal movement between the contact portions of the movable component (3) and the stationary component (2) cause the movable component (3) to move longitudinally with respect to the stationary component (2) between a first proximal position, a second distal position, and a third position, the third position being distal of the second position by a relatively small distance. The movement of the movable component (3) between the first and second position causes a corresponding movement of the end effector between corresponding first and second positions. The instrument (1) further includes a latch mechanism (17) such that when the movable component (3) is initially moved from the first position to the third position, the latch mechanism (17) is engaged such that when the moveable component returns to the second position, the movable component is held in the second position by the latch mechanism (17). <Figure 2>

Title: Speed gearbox without clutch and synchronising gear, with easily automatable movement
Inventor: FOSCHI GIANFRANCO
IPC: B60K/
Filed: 1994-03-14
Granted: 1997-10-28
Abstract: Speed gearboxes use a synchronising gear and a clutch. As a consequence, manual shifting involves a double operation while automated operation requires sophisticated electronic systems. The invention in question eliminates the synchronising gears and the clutch for changing the speeds, and therefore notably simplifies both manual use of the gearbox and its automation. Male D... and female E... elements are connected to the gears which are free to rotate around a shaft, and to the shaft itself with grooving and, when engaged, connect a gear to the shaft. The female elements, if arranged with a certain orientation E..d with respect to the shaft, present a helical surface suitable for repelling the male elements D..d provided with a greater angular speed, V2>V3; the same female elements, if arranged with the opposite orientation, E..s, rotated 180 degree, that is, around an axis perpendicular to the shaft, repel the male elements D..s provided with a lower speed, V2<V1. To change gear, the element connected to the shaft is disengaged from the element connected to a gear and shifted towards that element (2 for every intermediate gear) connected to the gear of the desired speed, capable of repelling it. When decelerating or accelerating, the difference between the two speeds decreases until its sign changes: that is, the male slows its stroke on the helical surface which repels it until it stops for a moment on the same and then begins to travel along it in the opposite direction and is immediately blocked and compelled to insert itself into the space which the female elements present between the beginning and end of the helical surface. A mechanism P/M..., better illustrated below, co- ordinates and groups the various movements in such a way as to be able to change any speed with a single unidirectional movement. <IMAGE>
