Patent EP-0970275-B1 (EP)
Inventor: ABAECHERLI ALFRED
IPC: C09K23/50
Filed: 1998-03-20
Granted: 2003-03-19
Abstract: The invention proposes a process which enables separation of aromatic polymers which can be precipitated by acidification, as can be found especially in waste water from cellulose production, from an alkaline solution in a reliable manner and in pure form. To achieve good separation capacity, especially by filtration, it is proposed that the polymers be precipitated by reducing the pH at a relatively low temperature, typically between 15 and 60° C., and the dispersion be subsequently reheated until it passes into filterable form, typically between 50 and 95° C. The product separated in this way for example by filtration can be washed and can be dried at a high temperature, especially up to 110° C., without becoming black.

Abstract: The present invention is a capless refueling assembly for a motor vehicle fuel tank. The capless refueling assembly has a housing assembly having a nozzle-receiving opening in fluid communication with the fuel tank such that a fuel nozzle can be inserted in the nozzle-receiving opening and supply liquid fuel to the fuel tank. A primary seal is mounted within the housing assembly for pivotal movement between a sealed position wherein the primary seal sealingly closes the nozzle-receiving opening and an open position. The pivotal movement is responsive to a fuel nozzle being inserted into and removed from the nozzle-receiving opening. A closure is pivotally mounted to the housing assembly for movement between a covering position wherein the closure covers a mouth of the nozzle-receiving opening and an access position wherein a fuel nozzle can be inserted into the nozzle-receiving opening. A vapor venting valve engages the primary seal for cooperative movement therewith. The vapor valve includes a first biasing element for biasing the primary seal to the sealed position. The venting valve is movable between a venting position wherein fuel vapor in the fuel tank is permitted to vent from the fuel tank through a vapor flow path and a valve closed position wherein fuel vapor in the fuel tank is prevented from venting through said vapor flow path. The venting valve includes a second biasing element for biasing the venting valve to the valve closed position. The movement of the venting valve is responsive to a fuel nozzle being inserted into and removed from the fuel nozzle-receiving opening and responsive to a pressure condition in the fuel tank. The primary seal is movable from the sealed position overcoming the first biasing element in response to a vacuum condition in the fuel tank.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of objects in a vehicle operator's blind spots. The apparatus comprises a side-facing Doppler radar system using continuous wave (CW) transmission with frequency modulation (FM) operation from a frequency modulation switching technique. The radar system determines the presence, range and closing rate of detected targets. The radar system detects targets even when operated in adverse weather conditions and will not generate false warnings due to rain clutter caused by wet roads and other wet surroundings. The radar system uses ranging techniques to reject false targets that are detected outside of a predetermined target detection zone. In accordance with the present invention, the radar system indicates that a target is detected if and only if any part of the target is within the detection zone and it: (1) remains in front of the antenna for at least TH1 seconds; (2) is at a range between Rangemin and Rangemax; and (3) is moving faster than Closing-Speedmin relative to the antenna. By rejecting targets that are closer than Rangemin feet to the antenna, false alarms due to rain clutter are dramatically reduced. Also, by rejecting targets that are further than Rangemax feet from the antenna, the radar system reduces false alarms caused by wet foliage and other wet "non-road" surroundings. In one embodiment, the radar system uses a patch array antenna oriented into a diamond-shape configuration to effectively create a natural linear amplitude taper that aids in rejecting clutter caused by wet road surfaces. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The system uses summation of samples to improve signal to noise ratio. The radiographic procedure for an object enables examination whilst the object is moving. The object moves between a source (4) and a detector (6), following a procedure which includes the determination of an object projection plane. This is such that, for one of the positions of the moving object, the plane is a single line. A series of radiographic images are taken during the movement of the object, and the contributions from successive images are summed using a formula incorporating the thickness of the objects, the source-detector distance, and the number of successive positions of the object for which images are taken.

Abstract: The pantyhose garment (3) comprises a panty portion (5) and two leg portions (9, 11) formed of circumferentially extending interknit courses of yarn (20, 21, 22, 23). The panty portion (5) provides greater compression than the leg portions (9, 11). Both the panty and leg portions (5, 9, 11) contain alternating courses (C-1 to C-8) of covered spandex yarn (21, 23) and body yarn (20, 22). The spandex yarns (21, 23) in both the panty and leg portions (5, 9, 11) are covered with bicomponent nylon yarn. The spandex yarn (21) in the panty portion (5) is of a larger denier than the spandex yarn (23) in the leg portions (9, 11), while the covering yarn on the spandex yarn (23) in the leg portions (9, 11) is of a larger denier than the covering yarn on the spandex yarn (21) in the panty portion (5). The resulting garment (3) is a pantyhose with a generally uniform opacity throughout the panty and leg portions (5, 9, 11) which nonetheless provides extra support in the panty portion (5). The invention also finds application in other circular knit garments. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
