Patent EP-0422337-B1 (EP)
Inventor: BERTHOLD HERMANN
IPC: F23J15/04

Granted: 1994-03-16
Abstract: The invention provides a process and a device for wet purification of gases, in particular of flue gases, in which a gas is brought into contact with a foam-forming purifying liquid by means of turbulence formation. In order to reduce the energy consumption and improve the foam formation, it is proposed to feed the gas to be purified into a primary reaction chamber which has a passage cross section which varies in the flow direction and is laterally bounded in that direction by at least one movable wall having an irregular surface which is wetted by the purifying liquid. The wall can be provided with openings so that a secondary reaction chamber is formed on the side of the wall remote from the primary reaction chamber.

Abstract: Circuit électrique de coupure permettant de détecter, et de couper, les avalanches dans un dispositif à avalanches (5) et comprenant un comparateur à logique transistor-transistor (TTL) (14) dont l'une de ses entrées (24) est alimentée par une tension prédéterminée par le biais d'un diviseur de tension (18, 20) et d'une tension de référence (22). Lorsque la source de courant à interruption (6) se trouve dans son état de faible impédance, et lorsque le dispositif (5) est au repos, les diodes (10 et 16) deviennent conductrices tandis que l'entrée (12) est maintenue au potentiel de la tension de référence (22). Le comparateur (14) se trouve dans un état stable. Toute variation de la tension de référence affecte les deux entrées du comparateur de manière sensiblement égale. Lorsqu'il se produit une avalanche dans le dispositif (5), le courant provenant de la source (6) est dévié à travers le dispositif et les diodes (10 et 16) cessent de conduire l'électricité. La tension au niveau de l'entrée du comparateur (12) tombe et, lorsqu'elle atteint une valeur critique, le comparateur est commuté dans son autre état stable, ce qui se traduit par une impulsion sur la ligne (34). La sortie de la ligne (28) commute la source de courant (6) dans son état d'impédance élevée et coupe l'avalanche dans le dispositif (5). Une sortie temporisée en direction de la diode (32) élève la tension au niveau de l'entrée du comparateur (12) de manière à remettre le comparateur dans son état initial.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un lit pliant, portatif, facile à ranger, gonflable (10). Le lit (10) se compose d'un matelas d'air (14) supporté au niveau de la tête par un cylindre creux (26). Une extrémité du cylindre creux (26) forme un logment de support dans le conduit d'air destiné à une pompe à air entraînée par un moteur électrique (48). L'autre extrémité du cylindre creux (26) offre un espace de stockage pour objets divers. La surface du cylindre (26) constitue un ensemble de rouleaux sur lequel on enroule le lit d'air (10) à mesure qu'on le dégonfle. Le matelas (14) est gonflé et automatiquement déroulé par l'air de pompage passant par une valve unidirectionnelle (66) jusqu'à l'intérieur du matelas (14). Lorsque l'utilisateur est allongé sur ledit matelas (14), il peut augmenter la fermeté en mettant en marche le moteur de la pompe (48), ou il peut diminuer la fermeté par libération manuelle d'air par l'intermédiaire de la valve unidirectionnelle (66). On dégonfle rapidement le matelas (14) en ouvrant premièrement une valve relativement grande (24).

Abstract: To process several television signals for transmission purposes, for example for an optical waveguide cable television distribution network, the television signals are first individually digitised (AD) and in each case digitally converted into various non-overlapping frequency bands (DFU1...DFU8). The television signals thus converted are then combined by means of a logical adding stage (ADD) to form one frequency-division multiplex signal. Due to this processing, the complexity at the receiver end can be kept down. Only one D/A converter (DAG) and one channel group converter (UG') is necessary for a group of channels of television signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A multilayer plastic container for use with either a positive or negative pressure dispensing system, the container having an integral body with an inner layer which readily separates from an outer layer and collapses to dispense a product from the container. The container is formed by blow-molding a multilayer preform, and a bottom aperture is formed in the container for injecting air to separate the inner layer from the outer layer. Preferably, the inner layer is predelaminated during manufacture to facilitate its later separation during use. In the case of vacuum dispening, air inlet vent holes are preferably formed at the points of maximum deformation to prevent collapse of the outer layer.
