A water-in-oil emulsion of a water-soluble polymer such as acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymer having improved invertibility is prepared by (1) adding a portion of an inverting surfactant such as sorbitan trioleate having 20 polyoxyethylene units to a water-in-oil emulsion of water-soluble monomer, (2) polymerizing the monomer and (3) adding a remaining amount of inverting surfactant to the emulsion...

A spur gear differential (1) lockable to a limited extent and used as a differential gear for a motor vehicle. The differential makes use of the friction losses resulting from the oil flow conveyed by the teeth and teeth gaps of the planetary gears (6) and the sun gear (2) or the hollow gear (3). For control purposes, a cover ring (16) is provided which may be moved into a close position, i.e. a s...

Le matériau composite de l'invention comporte des fibres 2 de renforcement en carbone revêtues d'une couche de carbone 6 puis d'une couche de SiC 8, noyées dans une matrice à base de carbone, recouvertes d'un revêtement externe 10 en carbure de silicium colmaté par une couche de carbure de silicium 14 puis par une couche de nitrure d'hafnium ou d'aluminium 16 et enfin revêtues d'une couche exte...

L'invention concerne un système de jonction de deux éléments métalliques tubulaires.

La liaison entre les deux éléments tubulaires métalliques à raccorder bout à bout se fait en donnant, à la surface de liaison entre les deux éléments, la forme d'un tronc de cône à faible pente, la longueur du joint réalisé étant un multiple important de l'épaisseur de paroi des éléments tubulaires devant...

The invention allows still and moving picture components of a motion video transmission to be coded by using a same algorithm. The invention is based on aposteriori recognition of still pictures and on a memorization of the quantization step used to code groups of pixels of a still picture which belong to a certain hierarchical level (e.g. the macroblock level), and it allows convergence of the qu...

PURPOSE:To make it possible to start recording of a subsequent line at a time point when recording paper is heated sufficiently by a method wherein a prescribed time required for heating the recording paper, which is stored beforehand, is compared with a parameter relating to a scanning time for one recording line of a carriage and the feeding of the paper is controlled on the basis of the result ...
