Title: Improved elastic-thermoplastic graft polymers for the production of rubber-modified thermoplastic moulding materials
Inventor: EICHENAUER HERBERT
IPC: C08F2/38
Filed: 2001-09-24
Abstract: An elastic-thermoplastic graft polymer prepared by a multi-stage free radical polymerization is described. The elastic-thermoplastic graft polymer is prepared by polymerizing (i) one or more monomers containing vinyl groups, and (ii) at least one molecular weight regulating compound, in the presence of (iii) at least one rubber in latex form. The ratio of monomers (M) to the molecular weight regulating compound (MWR) is altered throughout the various stages of the polymerization method. The M:MWR ratio is: from 50:1 to 400:1 in the first stage; from 100:1 to 800:1 in the second stage; and from 200:1 to 2000:1 in the third stage of the polymerization. In at least one further reaction stage of the polymerization, the monomers, in the absence of the molecular weight regulating compound, are polymerized in the presence of the rubber. This further reaction stage occurs before the first stage and/or after the third stage of the polymerization. The multi-stage polymerization is conducted such that: M:MWR (first stage)<=M:MWR (second stage)<M:MWR (third stage). Also described are compositions comprising the elastic-thermoplastic graft polymer, and shaped articles prepared from such compositions.

Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: The invention provides an improved furnace structure and methods of melting material in furnaces, particularly aimed at reducing the start up time for such furnaces. The furnace (2) defines a container for the molten metal having a maximum depth of molten metal in that container during use. A flow generator (30) for the molten metal within the furnace is fed through a first conduit (32) and supplies material back to the furnace through a second conduit (36). The first conduit entrance is provided in the upper 60% of the maximum depth of the molten metal in the container and/or the second conduit exit is provided in the lower 25% of the maximum depth of the molten metal in the container. The flow generator may receive material preferentially from around the periphery of the container and/or direct material towards the centre of the container. The inlet and outlet to the flow generator may be angled downwards towards the container. All of these features improve heat transfer and material circulation within the furnace.

IPC: B65H5/12
Filed: 1998-09-04
Abstract: A vacuum drum assembly for a printing machine comprises a drum having an array of
passageways (40) distributed along its length and around its periphery to permit air to flow
from outside the drum to inside the drum in response to reduced air pressure inside the
drum, and an array of valve members (52), each valve member being movable between
a closed position in which that valve member restricts at least one of the passageways and
an open positioning which the restriction of that passageway or those passageways is
reduced. The arrangement is such that, when a partial area of the drum is wrapped with
a sheet of material, at least some of the valves for the passageways adjacent the edges of
that area are open, and the valves for the passageways which are not covered by the sheet
and are not adjacent the edges of that area are closed. The open area of the drum is
regulated such that it is small in regions where there is no paper. Accordingly, the open
area of the drum is adapted to the shape and size of the paper and the position of the paper
on the drum, whilst minimizing the required suction flow. A duplex printing machine
comprises two such vacuum drum assemblies with their drums parallel. the air pressure
inside the drums is reduced and the drums are counter-rotated. Material to be printed on
is fed to the first drum so that the material can be held on the first drum by vacuum and
rotated therewith, and a first print head prints on one side of the material. The material is
then released from the first drum in a direction towards the second drum so that the
material can be held on the second drum by vacuum and rotated therewith. A second print
head then prints on the material on the second drum. The material is then released from
the second drum.

Abstract: A method and a circuit to monitor exactly the charge status of a battery of a battery powered device is achieved. The charge and discharge currents are continuously measured and integrated over time to get the exact charge of the battery. Inaccuracies caused by the offset of the integrators are precisely compensated by a bridge-like design of said circuit and by a feedback of said offset to the input of the integrators. The system is clocked in a way to enable a continuous operation. Another advantage is the low current consumption of the circuit by sharing some of the components for the integration of the currents and handling of the offset.. The improved accuracy is optimizing the operation of said battery driven device and is avoiding any potential damage of the battery.
