Abstract: L'invention concerne un filtre à cigarettes (14) destiné à éliminer les constituants de phase gazeuse de la fumée de cigarettes principale, lorsque la fumée passe à travers le filtre . Ledit filtre comprend une partie filtre (16) en fibres de carbone notamment un fagot de fibres de carbone (24). Des matières absorbantes de particules telles que des granules, des perles ou des poudres grossières (42) peuvent être dispersées parmi les fibres de carbone (24) activées, ceci permettant d'éliminer les constituants de la phase gazeuse. De plus, ladite partie filtre (16) en fibres de carbone activées peut être utilisée en association avec un ou des lits séparés de matières (42) absorbant les particules. Dans un mode de réalisation, lesdites fibres de carbone (24) activées sont disposées à l'intérieur d'une rainure hélicoïdale (116) sur l'extérieur d'un bâtonnet fileté (114), ce dernier étant positionné à l'intérieur de la partie filtre (16) en fibres de carbone activées. Des quantités relativement petites de fibres de carbone (24) activées produisent la même réduction de constituants de fumée que de grandes quantités de matière (42) absorbant les particules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water-dilutable polyurethane, which comprises at least two free OH groups, that can be obtained from a first reaction of a primary and/or secondary alkanolamine with an NCO compound to form an intermediate product followed by adding a cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride to the intermediate product. The NCO compound comprises at least one free NCO group and does not have any block NCO groups. During the first reaction to form the intermediate product, all of the alkanolamine is reacted whereby the nitrogen atom of the alkanolamine reacts with one of the free NCO groups of the prepolymer while forming a urea linkage. The cyclic carboxylic acid anhydride, under decyclization, reacts with the OH group of intermediate product, said OH group originating from the alkanolamine. The invention also relates to the use of this functionalized polyurethane for producing thermosetting coating compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of tomographic imaging, and in particular a CT or MR method, for the repetitive production of diagnostic slice images of a part of a patient's body. To allow a geometrical transformation (2) to be determined, current reference slice images (1) of the part of the body, which are brought into agreement with earlier reference slice images (3) of the part of the body are first made in this case. Current imaging parameters (5) are then calculated for a current diagnostic slice image (6) by transforming earlier imaging parameters by the geometrical transformation (2) previously determined. To give greater accuracy and, at the same time, a short image-making time, the image proposes that at least two current reference slice images (1, 1') be made, whose image planes are preset in such a way that their relative positions and orientations in three dimensions agree with the relative positions and orientations in three dimensions of the earlier reference slice images (3, 3'), the geometrical transformation (2) being determined in such a way that it brings all the current reference slice images (1, 1') in agreement with the corresponding earlier reference slice images (3, 3') simultaneously.
