Abstract: The present invention relates to hydrophilic polymeric compositions for
making a liquid impermeable moisture vapour permeable structure, for example
by forming the composition into a layer or coating onto a suitable substrate for
example a microporous film and to composite structures comprising the
compositions. The hydrophilic polymeric compositions of the present invention
do not solidify at room temperature, but remain viscous or "creamy". This
prevents layers made from the hydrophilic polymeric composition of the present
invention from settling as a film so that delamination of a composite structure
comprising the hydrophilic polymeric composition coated into a layer onto a
suitable substrate is avoided. The hydrophilic polymeric compositions of he
present invention can find a variety of applications wherein liquid imperviousness
and moisture vapour permeability are desirable.

Abstract: The driving pulley comprises two centrifugal mechanisms, namely a positive assembly and a negative assembly. Both assemblies comprise a respective set of flyweights subjected to the centrifugal force when the driving pulley rotates. The positive assembly is used as a conventional speed governor that moves one of the two flanges of the driving pulley towards the other in order to increase its winding diameter when the rotation speed increases. The negative assembly is used to apply an opposite force on the positive assembly when the rotation speed is above a threshold value so as to defer the upshift of the CVT to a higher ratio under the action of the positive assembly. This allows to maintain, for instance, a high rotation speed during an intense acceleration and a lower rotation speed when cruising at low vehicle speeds.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un nouveau spectromètre (10) dans lequel les molécules d'échantillons (26) étant ionisées oscillent sous l'effet de la réflexion de champs électriques créés entre deux électrodes (12, 14) dans une chambre à vide (20). Une électrode grille (16) de production d'électrons située entre les électrodes réflectrices (12, 14) produit des électrons par émission secondaire à chaque course des ions oscillants lorsque certain d'entre eux frappent la grille de l'électrode. On détecte (18) les électrons secondaires après leur passage à travers l'électrode réflectrice. La fréquence d'oscillation des ions dépend de leur masse et de la distribution en fréquence des signaux de chaque événement de production d'électron; il est ainsi possible d'identifier les ions de différentes masses. L'invention permet de réaliser des spectromètres beaucoup plus compacts que les spectromètres de masse à temps de vol, et moins chers que les spectromètres de masse à transformé de Fourier à résonance cyclotron des ions.
