Abstract: Process for the manufacture of a unit assembly of filtration membranes obtained by precipitation from a polymer solution, in which there are placed, in an external envelope having one closed end and one open end, a plurality of elongate porous elements which pass through the said closed end and whose longitudinal axes are parallel to one another and to the direction between the two ends, the polymer solution is injected around the porous elements, a fluid is injected at one end of the porous elements and diffuses across the elements towards the polymer, and at the other end of the tubes the polymer solvent which has diffused in the opposite direction is removed so as to cause the polymer to precipitate, forming around the porous elements and between them a porous polymer structure which in contact with the porous elements can exhibit a skin of lower porosity, and the porous elements are removed so as to demould a porous polymer block pierced by channels whose longitudinal axes are parallel to one another. 
<??>The invention also relates to the unit filtration assembly obtained, and to the moulds for its manufacture.

Abstract: In order to insure the accuracy of information transmitted over a network, the initiation of the message must be unambiguously identified. In the present invention, the intermessage spacing consists of a series of identical logic signals that exceeds a minimum value distinguishing this interval from a message character. The message character has predefined length, with a start bit position logic signal and a stop bit position logic signal bounding the character that has the same number of predetermined logic signals for every message character. The character has at least one additional non-data bit position that has a first logic signal for the initial character of a message and the complementary logic signal for the remaining characters in the message.

Abstract: A touch input device having infrared light beams defined by a plurality of pairs of light emitters and phototransistors (X1-XN, Y1-YN) is disclosed. A feedback loop (114) containing a programmable amplifier (116) is employed to compensate for the effects of ambient light and for device irregularities. The phototransistor current is first converted to a signal voltage by an operational amplifier (112) and then is input into a low pass filter (113). The output of the lowpass filter (113) is input into a feedback loop (114) containing a summing amplifier (115), a programmable amplifier (116) and an integrator (117). As light emitters and phototransistors are sequentially activated, the feedback loop (114) with the programmable amplifier (116) compares output signals in the unactivated state with those input when the light emitters are activated to compensate for ambient conditions and errors.

Abstract: A method of communication in a computer system is provided for transferring information between multiple, concurrently operating programs, each of which may have a respective window display. The user communicates with each of the application programs through the window display as well as through an input device, such as a mouse or keyboard. A list of information codes is registered with a dispatcher program for each of the application programs which requires data. One or more of the application programs generate templates which include data and a corresponding information code. The generated templates are transmitted to the dispatcher program. The dispatcher program then compares the information code in the received template to the registered list of information codes to find any matches and thereby identify the one or more application programs which have registered to receive the information in the received template. The dispatcher program then transmits the received template to each of the identified application programs. Information communication is therefore carried out between multiple operating programs without user direction for the steps of the communication process.

Abstract: Une chaudière électrique comporte une pluralité de tubes chauffants (11) s'étendant sensiblement verticalement pour fournir de la chaleur à un échangeur de chaleur, un c÷ur constituté d'une multiplicité de briques (30, 35) destinées à accumuler de la chaleur, et une enveloppe isolée entourant le c÷ur, ladite enveloppe présentant une face frontale qui s'ouvre pour permettre le montage du c÷ur et l'accès à ce dernier. Les briques qui se situent, en service, contre les tubes chauffants (11) possèdent des profils de face latérale formés pour constituer des canaux destinés à recevoir une partie d'un tube chauffant (11). Une combinaison de telles briques entoure une longueur de tubes chauffants, la largeur desdites briques étant telle que, lorsque les tubes chauffants sont entourés par une rangée desdites briques qui leur sont adjacentes, un écartement, vu de devant, est assuré entre les briques et l'enveloppe, et entre les briques entourant les tubes chauffants adjacents (11). On peut combler cet écartement en faisant glisser d'autres briques (30, 35) dans un sens d'avant en arrière par rapport à la chaudière. Les briques dans un c÷ur assemblé définissent des canaux (32, 36) s'étendant de l'avant vers l'arrière de la chaudière pour recevoir des éléments chauffants (40), ces derniers étant allongés et situés dans le c÷ur par coulissement dans les canaux (32, 36) depuis l'avant du c÷ur. Un des avantages de l'invention est que la chaudière peut être rapidement et aisément installée. D'autre part, si un élément chauffant venait à défaillir en service, il peut être aisément ôté et remplacé.

Abstract: Self-prontonated sulfonic acid-substituted polyaniline compositions, processes for their preparation and uses therefor are disclosed. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions have faster electronic and optical responses to electrochemical potentials comparing to its parent polyaniline, improved environmental stability, and improved solubility than the parent polymer, polyaniline. A process for producing the sulfonated polyaniline compositions comprises reacting the polyaniline polymer with concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are useful for switching an electrochemical response between a conducting and a nonconducting state. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are also useful for conduction of electricity, absorption of electromagnetic radiation, modulation of electromagnetic beams and modification of the electromagnetic response of sulfonated polyaniline compositions by chemical or electrochemical means. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are also useful as a high density erasable data storage medium for use in information storage and processing applications. The invention further provides electronic, chemical, electrochemical, and optical microelectronic devices which use and control the chemical and physical properties of the sulfonated polyaniline compositions.
