  • Patent number: 6045820
    Abstract: The present invention relates to iodine demand disinfectants. It relates in particular to a process for preparing a polyiodide-resin for use as an iodine demand disinfectant wherein a porous strong base anion exchange resin in a salt form, is contacted with a material capable of donating a member absorbable by the resin so as to convert the resin to the polyiodide-resin. The adsorbable member is selected from the group comprising I.sub.2 and polyiodide ion having a valence of -1. The process is characterized in that conversion of the anion exchange resin to the polyiodide-resin is effected at elevated temperature and elevated pressure, the elevated temperature being 100 degrees C or higher, the elevated pressure being greater than atmospheric pressure. The present invention also relates to disinfectant substance comprising an iodine (impregnated) resin as produced by the above process.

  • Patent number: 4795255
    Abstract: Apparatus and process for measuring optical, non-linear, harmonic emission characteristics of an isotropic phase: susceptibility coefficient, phase displacement and dispersion. Use is made of a beam converging in a first prism and diverging in a second prism after having been focused in the isotropic phase which it traverses over a distance variable as a function of the aperature angle .alpha..

  • Patent number: 4774406
    Abstract: A device for measuring electric fields mainly comprises a laser and a probe provided with a centrosymmetric polymer sheet permitting the generation, under the action of the field, of the second harmonic of the emitted wavelength. Optical fibers carry the incident and reflected waves of the laser to the probe and then to an optical measuring cascade. This device is of particular interest for measuring the electric fields between high voltage coaxial cables.

  • Patent number: 4235958
    Abstract: Photosensitive film which can be used in microgravure, wherein it comprises at least one organic monomolecular layer having amphiphilic molecules with at least one irradiation polymerizable function and one aliphatic chain with at least 12 carbon atoms, a polymerizable function being located at the hydrophobic end of said molecules.The photosensitive films can be used with particular advantage in the production of microetched objects, such as optical and holographic systems, integrated optical devices and electronic microcircuits.

  • Patent number: 4017660
    Abstract: The dielectric material is constituted by monomolecular layers of an organic substance, the molecules of which have a long aliphatic chain terminating in a hydrophilic group. The substance is selected from the group in which a lateral group is grafted onto the aliphatic chain and is capable of exchanging a hydrogen bond with an identical adjacent molecule.
