  • Patent number: 5053630
    Abstract: In a method in which a heterodyne-laser-Doppler method is used for the demination of the sign of the direction of a particle stream, the beam from a laser source is directed by means of an optical arrangement used as an emitter optical system to a measuring volume in an interferometer device. A frequency difference between the emitted laser beam and the laser beam returning into the optical arrangement is measured through heterodyne reception by means of the same optical arrangement used as a receiving optical system; this returning laser beam is frequency-shifted because of scattering by particles moving with the same speed in the particle stream and because of the Doppler effect. In the method according to the invention, an additional Doppler shift with a definite sign then is alternately impressed on the laser beam in exactly defined areas of beam paths, the additional Doppler shift being preferably considerably smaller than the Doppler shift generated by the particle movement.

  • Patent number: 4481013
    Abstract: Distillate fuels, particularly those having a relatively high final boiling point, are significantly improved in their flow and filterability properties utilizing a two component additive consisting of 25 to 95 wt. % preferably 50 to 90 wt. % of C.sub.30 -C.sub.300 oil-soluble nitrogen compound being an amide or amine salt of an aromatic or cycloaliphatic carboxylic acid and 75 to 5 wt. % preferably 10 to 50 wt. % of a certain category of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers.
