Patent EP-0470040-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHULZ GERALD OWEN
IPC: C08F36/00
Filed: 1991-07-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a rubber containing polymer bound functionalities. The process comprises the emulsion polymerization at a temperature ranging from about 0°C to about 25°C of (a) at least one functionalized monomer that contains a polymerizable vinyl group; with (b) at least one copolymerizable conjugated diene monomer selected from the group consisting of butadiene-1,3, 2-chlorobutadiene-1,3, isoprene, piperylene and conjugated hexadienes; wherein the polymerization is conducted in the presence of from about 1 to about 70 parts by weight of a plasticizer based on 100 parts by weight of total monomers. The plasticizer functions as a cosolvent/dispersing agent for the functionalized monomer during the emulsion polymerization and as a plasticizer for the final polymer product.

Abstract: The metal wire mesh for endoprosthetic surgery comprises a sintered hollow mesh knitted (1) from elastic metal wires (D), this knitted mesh preferably having been made in the manner of a milanese. The metal wire mesh is designed either as a coating (1) for an endoprosthesis (3) or, in the sintered state, as a bone substitution piece (36). This type of metal wire mesh can be used to achieve satisfactory anchorage in the bone because, on the one hand, the mesh size can be adapted to suit the local conditions and, on the other hand, the remaining elasticity of the meshes permits suitable transition between the prosthesis and the bone. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un dispositif de commande de la transmission automatique dans un véhicule commande la commutation d'une boîte de vitesses (20) vers la position souhaitée lorsqu'elle diffère de la position actuelle. On détecte et enregistre les défaillances qui surviennent pendant la commande d'un moteur (42) servant à effectuer la commutation. On a prévu des boutons de commande (100) possédant des lampes témoins correspondantes. Pendant le fonctionnement normal, une lampe est allumée pour indiquer la vitesse actuelle, mais une pluralité de lampes s'allument pour signaler à l'aide d'un code les défaillances détectées. Un port d'entrée/sortie (135) permet la lecture des codes des défaillances et des tests diagnostiques.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of the peroxides of calcium, potassium, and magnesium as supplements for plants that release oxygen to the media in which the plants grow. The peroxides are preferably mixed with phosphate ion which prolongs the period of time during which oxygen is released. The peroxides may be mixed with macronutrients and micronutrients to provide fertilizers or applied direct to the media. Sufficient peroxide is used to release an effective amount of atomic oxygen to offset the negative effects of excessive water in the media and enhance plant growth and appearance. Effective amounts of metals are used as bioactive agents for suppressing or enhancing the activity of microorganisms in the soil depending on whether such microorganisms are detrimental or beneficial to plants.

Abstract: The resistance value of a measuring resistor (2) is changed as a function of the load current in order to produce a sufficiently large voltage drop across the measuring resistor (2) even in the event of a small load current. In the event of an interruption in the line (cable, lead) to a load (1), the measurement voltage is less than a threshold value (S2), as a result of which a diagnostic signal is triggered. The measuring resistor is implemented by means of MOSFET transistors (T1, T2) which are arranged in parallel with one another and are switched on or off by means of a changeover device (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus peels fruit, in particular citrus fruit, by washing and sterilizing the fruit in a sterilizing bath (16). The washed and sterilized fruit is delivered to a perforator (18) which makes a plurality of perforations through the outer surface of the peel of the fruit over its entire surface. The perforated fruit is then delivered to a conveyor (128) which loads and orients the fruit so that it is spinning on the stem axis with the equator of the spinning fruit exposed to a plurality of slitting knives (162). The knives (162) slit an equatorial cut through the outer surface of the peel. The slit and perforated fruit is then delivered to a carousel (28) of canisters (26). Each canister (26) is filled with fruit and an aqueous solution of a commercial pectinase. The solution is vacuum infused into the fruit so that the albedo attaching the peel to the fruit substantially disintegrates over a predetermined time period. The pectinase solution is drained from the canister (26), and the treated fruit with a loosened peel is delivered to a peel removal section of the apparatus (32). The peels are removed in two hemispheres leaving the fruit meat intact. The intact fruit meat is then brushed to remove any remaining albedo or strings. The brushed meat is then delivered to a hydrocooler (46) which cools the meats to nearly 0 degrees C. The cooled meats are then packaged in trays, labelled, sealed and packed in shipping cartons.

Abstract: A control of the switch-on instant of a power device of a boost-circuit employed in a switching power supply operating in a discontinuous mode is implemented by monitoring the current which actually flows through the "fly-back" inductance. The current is monitored on a sensing resistance and by the use of a comparator a signal is produced for enabling/disabling the transfer to an input of a PWM driving circuit of a switch-on signal produced by a null detector, sensing the voltage induced on a secondary winding coupled to the fly-back inductance. 
     The circuit has a greater immunity to noise and a reduced power dissipation.

Abstract: A platform stanchion comprises a tubular casing (2) with locking means (3) which are pivotally mounted thereon and which in locking position have been swung out and engage in locking recesses in adjoining platform sides. The locking means (3) are operated by outwardly foldable handles (5) acting on actuator mechanisms which are provided inside the casing (2) and which each comprise an axially displaceable slide member (11). One end portion (12) of each slide member (11) is articulated to the handle (5), while the other end portion (14) is adapted by cam action to operate the locking means (3) between the swung-out and the swung-in position. 
     Since the casing (2) consists of an extruded aluminium section formed as a single piece, and having internal longitudinal channels (9, 10), and since there is no articulation between the locking means (3) and the slide members (11), the locking and actuator mechanisms of the platform stanchion (1) can be easily mounted from outside. 
     In a method for achieving such mounting from outside, each handle (5) is connected to the slide member (11), which is then inserted in the casing (2) until the upper end portion (14) of the slide member (11) is located opposite a recess in the longitudinal edge portion of the casing (2). A spring (16) is inserted in the casing (2) and applied against a shoulder (17) on the slide member (11), whereupon a sealing member (8) is pressed into the recess and fixed by snap action. Finally, the locking means (3) is placed in the sealing member (8) and mounted by means of a bearing pin (4), which is driven through the casing (2), the sealing member (8) and a bearing hole in the locking means (3).
