Patent number: 5763511Abstract: The invention relates to organic photochromic materials consisting of a polymer matrix of optical quality and of at least one dye that imparts photochromic properties to the matrix, the dye being selected from spirooxazines, spiropyrans and chromenes. The polymer constituting the matrix is a copolymer of 30-95 wt % ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate and 5-70 wt % of a polyurethane oligomer having terminal di- or triacrylic or di- or trimethacrylic functionality.

Patent number: 4587109Abstract: The invention relates to a process for recovering and purifying the molybdenum from a solution containing more molybdenum than vanadium.The process of the invention comprises the step of contacting the solution which contains molybdenum and vanadium, originally at a pH at least equal to 11 with an excess of an ammonium salt sufficient to precipitate the greatest part of vanadium in the form of solid ammonium vanadate, this excess being yet hot higher than a value such that after precipitation of vanadium, the quantity of ammonium having not reacted with the vanadate would be over a concentration which would account for risks of precipitating also molybdenum which is contained in the liquid phase of the supernatant.The molybdenum which is obtained is of industrial grade.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1983Date of Patent: May 6, 1986Assignee: Compagnie Generale des Matieres Nucleaires (COGEMA)Inventors: Georges Lyaudet, Jean Vial

Patent number: 4240453Abstract: An apparatus for the treatment of at least one surface of an article conted therein is disclosed. The treatment apparatus comprises a treatment enclosure which includes at least one inlet lock-chamber and at least one outlet lock-chamber with an article transport device extending therebetween. The treatment enclosure includes a solvent dispenser which is positioned with an outlet thereof adjacent the article transport device. Included within the apparatus is a vapor extractor for extracting air-solvent vapors from the treatment enclosure. The vapors extracted from the treatment enclosure are directed through a condenser positioned between the inlet lock-chamber and the outlet lock-chamber. Recycling ducts, communicating with the treatment enclosure and the vapor extractor, are also provided for recycling air, from which the solvent vapors have been substantially removed, toward the inlet of the inlet lock-chamber and the outlet of the outlet lock-chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1979Date of Patent: December 23, 1980Assignee: Societe d'Applications Generales d'Electricite et de Mecanique SAGEMInventors: Jean Vial, Gerard Sauvan
