Abstract: An apparatus, fitted to a vehicle, for sensing a vehicular environment, includes acquiring with a first sensing circuit at least one first vehicular environment scene data. The first sensing circuit comprises at least one sensor, and is powered by a first power supply. A second sensing circuit is used to acquire at least one second vehicular environment scene data, and it comprises at least one sensor. The second sensing circuit is powered by a second power supply. The at least one first and second vehicular scene data is provided to a processing unit. The processing unit correspondingly determines first and second vehicular control data based on the first and second vehicular scene data. The first and second vehicular control data are each independently useable by a vehicle to automatically perform at least one safety maneuver comprising one or more of: braking; deceleration; movement to a slow lane or hard shoulder.

Abstract: An extraction cell (10) for a centrifugal partition chromatograph (20), which extraction cell (10) contains an extraction chamber (12) delimited by a cell wall (12c) and accommodates the liquid stationary phase (30á), and it has a liquid inlet opening (13b) and a liquid outlet opening (13k) serving to let in and out the liquid mobile phase (30m) to be made to flow through the extraction cell (10). The extraction cell (10) contains an extraction chamber (12) established as a tubular body, and a liquid inlet plug (16b) that includes a liquid inlet opening (13b) and a liquid outlet plug (16k) that includes a liquid outlet opening (13k), that can be attached to the extraction chamber (12) and an insert (14) through which liquids may pass is positioned in the extraction chamber (12) between the liquid inlet opening (13b) and the liquid outlet opening (13k).

Abstract: The object of the invention relates to an extraction cell (100) used in a centrifugal partition chromatograph, which has a cell wall (120) determining a closed extraction chamber (150), as well as an inlet (115) and an outlet (140) ensuring the fluid connection between the extraction chamber (150) and the space outside of the extraction cell (100) formed on essentially opposite parts of the cell wall (120). The extraction cell (100) according to the invention is constructed asymmetrically from the point of view of the reversibility of the direction of flow used when the centrifugal partition chromatograph is in operation.

Abstract: Surface-modified zeolites and methods for preparing surface-modified zeolites are provided. A hybrid polymer formed from a silicon alkoxide and a metal alkoxide, a co-monomer, or both, is contacted with a zeolite suspension. The zeolite suspension comprises a sodium-, an ammonium-, or a hydrogen-form zeolite and a solvent. The hybrid polymer and zeolite suspension are contacted under conditions sufficient to deposit hybrid polymer on external surfaces of the zeolite to form a treated zeolite. Solvent is removed therefrom. The treated zeolite is dried and calcinated to form a dried and calcinated treated zeolite. Forming of the zeolite suspension and the contacting, removing, drying, and calcinating steps are provided in one selectivation sequence to produce a surface-modified zeolite from the ammonium-form zeolite and the hydrogen-form zeolite. If the dried and calcinated treated zeolite is a sodium-form zeolite, the sodium is exchanged with ammonium and then additionally dried and calcinated.
