Disclosed is a process for producing a polymer blend wherein a first phase containing a polyacrylate polymer prepared by radical polymerization and a source of radicals, and a second phase containing a polyolefin polymer are compounded by melt processing.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for sigma-delta modulation with a reduced periodic noise (idle noise) in a sigma-delta modulator. The reduction is achieved by means of addition of two different Dither signals (217,218) to the sigma-delta modulator. A first Dither signal (218) is constituted by a particular bit pattern of a certain period while a second Dither signal (217...

A timing synchronization method and apparatus for processing a compressed information stream comprising a plurality of information segments representative of a sequence of information frames. Information segments representative of information frames are deleted in response to an indicium of buffer overutilization.

An apparatus and method for receiving an information stream comprising a plurality of timing portions and associated payload portions, decoding each timing portion, determining a duration parameter of a payload portion associated with the decoded timing portion, and recoding the timing portion using the duration parameter and a local reference time parameter.

Wound implant materials are described comprising a plurality of bioabsorbable microspheres bound together by a bioabsorbable matrix, such as in a freeze-dried collagen matrix. The microspheres preferably comprise over 30% of the volume of the material, and preferably have diameters of 10 mu m to 1500 mu m. The microspheres and/or the matrix preferably comprise a polylactic/polyglycolic copolymer...

A clevis-type pipe hanger has a yoke member and U-strap attached by a clevis bolt. The U-strap has a longitudinally-extending indentation on the inn er side thereof forming a protruding rib on the outer side of the U-strap along the roun ded portion of the U-strap. The yoke has indentations in its outer side at the bends in the yoke, forming protrusions on the inner side of the yoke. The indentati...

La présente invention concerne une tondeuse à conducteur porté (1) comprenant un dispositif de coupe (5) qui achemine l'herbe coupée à travers un conduit de liaison s'étendant vers l'arrière (6) dans un collecteur arrière (7) pour l'herbe coupée, sachant que, pour sa vidange, le collecteur (7) est monté de faç on pivotante et de façon à pouvoir être dégagé du conduit de liaison (6), et qu'un volet...

EFFLUENT FILTERING APPARATUS An effluent filtering apparatus including an effluent filter fluidly connected to the output of an effluent pump disposed in an effluent tank, for providing filtered effluent to a drain field having a plurality of finger pipes defining a plurality of finger apertures. The effluent filter includes a tubular member defining a plurality of filtering orifices through a cyl...

La présente invention concerne de nouvelles compositions cosmétiques et/ou dermatologiques comprenant, dans un support cosmétiquement et/ou dermatologiquement acceptable, i) un dérivé de dibenzoylméthane, en particulier du 4-tert-butyl-4'-méthoxydibenzoyl-méthane et ii) au moins un polymère polyaminé. Ces compositions sont particulièrement photostables. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation...

Shafts (10, 11) filled with gas and liquid respectively are arranged side by side and connected to each other at the top and bottom. Weights (17) are moved to follow an endless path (15) going up through the liquid-filled shaft and down through the gas-filled shaft. An endless belt or chain (12) or a drive screw acting as a transport device for the weights, extends between the top and bottom of th...

More particularly, the invention is directed to an electrical heater formed as a strip that is permanently set in th e shape of a helix. According to an aspect of the invention, an electrical heater is provided comprising a flexible electrical insulation strip bounded by a first l...

It is proposed to create a new radio communication system (SYS) which is based primarily on existing technologies, by using a stationary and a mobile radio device (DBS; MMS) with standard technology. The radio devices are modified in such a way that for setting up the radio link between the radio devices, at least one of the radio devices (MMS) transmits in the opposite direction of the radio prot...

An amplifier for amplifying a bipolar ac signal having a rectifier with its input coupled to the ac input signal for producing at its output a unipolar pulsating dc signal with the half waves of the ac bipolar input signal being shifted in phase by 180 . The amplifier circuit is coupled to the output of the rectifier for amplifying the unipolar pulsating dc signal. A recovery circuit such as an in...

The invention makes available, by means of an increased provision of intracellular metabolic intermediates, in particular of phosphoenolpyruvate, alternative processes for the microbial preparation of substances, in particular of aromatic amino acids such as L-phenylalamine, in which processes the activity of a sugar-phosphorylating kinase is increased in a microorganism producing these substances...

The sign stands upright and is assembled using an information display support section (2) that is mounted on a coupling fitting (3) which acts as the stand for the sign. A single piece of cardboard material is used to form the display support section, which has an I-shaped profile formed from a flat middle part (5) with two bent flanges (6) on either side. The coupling fitting is made from thin pl...
