Tools (16) for viniculture are carried within a frame (18) attached to a tractor (20) and moved along a row of vines (10) which has fencing wires (14). A generator (22) located on the top of the frame produces an electromagnetic field which is measured by sensors (24) on either side of the frame. The difference in the measurements taken without the fencing wire and in the presence of the fencing w...

A box with four lamps colored white, green, orange, and red to indicate permitted speed ranges of 0-50 Km/h, 50-90 Km/h, 90-130 Km/h and speeds greater than 130 Km/h is located in front of the driver and within his/her field of vision when watching the road. A second lamp may also be installed to indicate the speed of the vehicle and allow passengers to intervene.;

A thin film diamond coating is formed relatively slowly with a relatively low methane concentration and is identified by its Raman spectrographic characteristics. The thin film diamond, preferably 5 to 40 microns thick, provides substantially greater corrosion and erosion resistance in a corrosive environment than other thin film diamond coatings. It is believed that such thin film diamond coating...

Recovery of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from a liquid effluent comprising a suspension of PVC in an organic liquid comprises distilling the effluent under vacuum to obtain a paste, dissolving the paste in an organic solvent capable of forming an azeotrope with water, and adding water to the solution to precipitate the PVC in particulate form.

Production of microspheres for wastewater treatment comprises mixing an aqueous sodium alginate solution with an aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose solution, adding bacteria to the mixture, adding the mixture dropwise to an aqueous gelling bath containing enzymes, and recovering and drying the gelled microspheres.

The motor-fan unit comprises a turbine (12) housed in a casing to generate airflow, motor (14) for driving the turbine, and support forming a cover that closes off the casing on one side. The control module is mounted on the rim (24) of motor support cover on outside and the radiator is partially engaged through an opening (28) in motor support cover, which opens laterally into the casing.

Polishing a wafer of material, comprises polishing with an abrasive based on diamond particles in suspension in a solution, where the abrasive mixture used implements diamond particles and silica particles with a diamond/silica volume ratio that is controlled to obtain desired roughness for the wafer.;

The method of stabilizing a four-wheel drive motor vehicle monitors (501) wheel spin, and responds to a wheel spinning by reducing the engine torque and actuating the brakes (502) independently of the driver, with the braking being applied only to the wheel that is spinning. The engine torque is reduced (504) only if the application of the brake fails (503) to stop the wheel spinning.;

A method to inhibit the ethylene response in plants with cyclopropene compounds by first generating stable cyclopropane precursor compounds and then converting these compounds to the gaseous cyclopropene antagonist compound by use of a reducing or nucleophilic agent.

A ClariCone-type clarifies is provided with a level sensor, a flow-condition detector, and a controller that work together for automatic control of a blow-down valve. The flown- condition detector detects a condition of the flow through the tank. The detector sends the input to the controller, which uses the input to determine a desired blow-do wn level. The level sensor detects the height of slur...
