Inventor: ANDERSON KENNETH W
IPC: C08G59/42
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: Composite polymère comprenant une matrice polymère hydroxy-phénoxyéther ou polyester, dans laquelle sont dispersées des couches d'un matériau dérivés d'un matériau inorganique feuilleté, présentant des propriétés organophiles. La dispersion du matériau inorganique feuilleté dans la matrice polymère est réalisée de manière à produire une augmentation de l'espace interfeuillet moyen. Cette augmentation de l'espacement interfeuillet se produit dans une mesure significative, ce qui entraîne la formation d'un nanocomposite. Les polymères sont de préférence dérivés d'un éther ou ester de diglycidyle ou d'une épihalohydrine et d'un dinucléophile tel que l'acide dicarboxylique, une amine difonctionnelle, un bisphénol ou un sulfamide. Comme matériau inorganique organophile on utilise des argiles modifiées par des composants d'ammonium organiques.

Abstract: A commutation controller for a switched reluctance machine has
separate timer circuits for determining the firing signals for motoring and
generating modes. Each timer circuit comprises a ramp generator and a pair of
comparators which denote the ON- and OFF-angle as the ramp output passes
preset thresholds applied to the comparators. A multiplexer selects the output
from one of the motoring and generating timers according to the mode of
machine operation. By producing timing signals for the motoring and
generating modes separately and continuously, a transition between motoring
and generating modes can be carried out smoothly without timing error.

IPC: H01M10/06
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: This invention concerns a method of increasing the available amount of acid at PAM and NAM in lead battery electrodes and still retain a short distance between the electrode surfaces. With mechanical support of PAM (for example in tubular batteries) in spite of low PAM densities it is possible to almost completely prevent the formation of mud. Spaces for acid should therefore be mechanically strong and supporting in order to retain unchanged PAM volume. In order to prevent that the porous bodies are filled with lead powder, lead sulphate or other components during manufacture, they may be impregnated with a filler material such as for example plastic or wax which is removed after forming the electrodes or after any other suitable process. The filler material may also be an inorganic salt which dissolves only at filling with acid leaving a desired porosity.

Abstract: Sulfurous gas streams comprising hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide, such as produced as a by-product of the rayon-forming process, are processed to recover the components in a useable form. The gas stream first is contacted with an aqueous sodium hydroxide to dissolve out hydrogen sulfide and some of the carbon disulfide. The dissolved carbon disulfide is driven off from the solution and condensed as a liquid concentrate. Carbon disulfide remaining the gas stream is recovered, such as by condensation. The aqueous sodium sulfide solution which remains from removal of carbon disulfide is concentrated and the pH is adjusted, as necessary, to a value at which the sodium sulfide is predominantly in the form of sodium bisulfide. The concentrated sodium bisulfide solution is capable of reuse in the rayon-forming process along with the liquid concentrate of carbon disulfide.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de conditionnement d'air comprimé contenant de la vapeur d'eau servant de source d'air conditionné dans un espace fermé. Ce procédé consiste à faire entrer l'air comprimé dans un échangeur de chaleur condenseur-évaporateur (14), puis à le refroidir avec un frigorigène à évaporation de liquide dans le condenseur-évaporateur (14). Ainsi, la vapeur d'eau contenue dans l'air comprimé peut devenir de l'eau liquide condensée disponible pour une séparation ultérieure permettant de produire de l'air sec. L'air sec est réchauffé avec un frigorigène à condensation de vapeur dans un resurchauffeur-condenseur (17) de manière que l'air sec devienne de l'air réchauffé. L'air réchauffé est ensuite dirigé à travers une turbine (13b) pour servir d'alimentation à l'espace fermé. L'invention concerne également un appareil permettant de réaliser les étapes susmentionnées, qui comporte un échangeur de chaleur condenseur-évaporateur (14) capable de placer l'air comprimé en relation d'échange thermique avec un sous-système à circuit de vapeur (3). Un extracteur d'eau (16) est en communication fluidique avec le condenseur-évaporateur (14), l'extracteur (16) servant à extraire l'eau condensée pour produire de l'air sec.
