Abstract: A porous, molecularly imprinted polymer and a process for its preparation are described. The porous, molecularly imprinted polymer is characterised in that it is obtainable by providing a porous silica; attaching a molecular template to the surface of the porous silica; filling the pores of the porous silica with a polymer; removing the silica and the molecular template, thereby leaving a porous, molecularly imprinted polymer. The process is characterised by the above defined process steps. Also described are a porous polymer vesicle and its preparation with the same features as defined for the porous, molecularly imprinted polymer and its preparation, except for the lack of the molecular template and thus the lack of the molecular imprint in the porous polymer.

Abstract: Pulsed arc welding of components in a protective gas involves supplying a welding torch having a fusible wire and supplying current pulses to melt the end of the wire. At a given pulse frequency, the wire feed rate, the average current and the effective current are selected in order to obtain the detachment of a molten metal drop by current pulses and a low projection rate. Pulsed arc welding of components of carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum and its alloys in a protective gas involves supplying a welding torch having at least one fusible wire at a feed rate (Vfil) and supplying current pulses to melt the end of the wire. At a given pulse frequency, the wire feed rate (Vfil), the average current value (Imoy) and the effective current (Ieff) are selected and/or implemented, in order to obtain the detachment of a molten metal drop by a current pulse and a low spraying rate, where: Imoy = A1 x Vfil + B1, where A1 is greater than 5 and less than 45 and B1 is greater than 0 and less than 50; and Ieff = A2 x Vfil + B2, where A2 is greater than 5 and less than 45 and B2 is greater than 40 and less than 100. For carbon steel components: Imoy = A1 x Vfil + B1, where A1 is greater than 20 and less than 40 and B1 is greater than 0 and less than 30, and Ieff = A2 x Vfil + B2, where A2 is greater than 19 and less than 39 and B2 is greater than 40 and less than 100. For stainless steel components: Imoy = A1 x Vfil + B1, where A1 is greater than 10 and less than 40 and B1 is greater than 0 and less than 40, and Ieff = A2 x Vfil + B2, where A2 is greater than 9 and less than 39 and B2 is greater than 40 and less than 100. For aluminum or its alloys: Imoy = A1 x Vfil + B1, where A1 is greater than 5 and less than 30 and B1 is greater than 0 and less than 20, and Ieff = A2 x Vfil + B2, where A2 is greater than 5 and less than 25 and B2 is greater than 40 and less than 65.

Abstract: The valve assembly (10) of the present invention includes a body portion (12) having one or more inlets (18) and two aligned outlets (20,21). The outlets are located on opposing faces of the body portion, one having a generally rigid valve seat defining a first valve outlet port (20) and the other having a generally flexible valve seat defining a second valve outlet port (22). The valve assembly also employs a valve support assembly (26) configured to move relative to the body portion generally along the axis of the aligned outlets. The support assembly has a flexible valve member (30) at one end positioned inside the body portion and configured to engage the rigid valve seat to block flow through the first valve outlet port. The support assembly also has a generally rigid valve member (44) positioned outside the body portion and configured to engage the flexible valve seat to block flow through the second valve outlet port. With this construction, when the valve support member is in an open position, both the flexible and rigid valve members are spaced from the rigid valve seat and flexible valve seat, respectively, allowing flow of fluid through the valve. However, when the valve support assembly is moved to the closed position, both the valve members are in contact with their respective valve seats and fluid flow is blocked.
