  • Patent number: 11314142
    Abstract: Configurable optical device comprising an optical element (1) or various optical elements (1) arranged in series, wherein each element (1) comprises an active region (2) with an entry surface (21) and an exit surface (22) for light beams, and a perimeter (3); each element (1) comprising at least one first transparent electrode (4) and at least one transparent counter electrode (5) the corresponding electrical connections being located in the perimeter (3); the device being configured such that, upon application of a potential difference between electrodes (4, 5) of each element (1), an electric field that alters the degree of commutation in different regions of the active zone (2) of each element (1) is generated, thus creating a varying optical path profile in each element (1), which allows an incident light beam to be focused in different ways, depending on the electric field applied to each electrode.

  • Publication number: 20160120134
    Abstract: Once the various constituent parts of the container are cut, two parts are joined as in FIG. 1, on the pattern designing table, by means of a 5-thread seam, additional parts being successively joined in this way on the sides thereof, until four parts are assembled, forming a cylinder or a trunk of a truncated pyramid. A square is then joined as in FIG. 2 by means of a 5-thread seam in the lower part of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, or the smallest square detached from the trunk of the truncated pyramid produced. Finally, a container is produced, joining four isosceles trapeziums on the sides thereof and a square in the lower part, thereby joining all of the parts on one of the ends thereof FIG. 4. All of the seams are then reinforced by means of thermosealing (according to the model), using a conventional thermosealing machine at 220°-240° in order to melt the felt. A 1 cm hem is made by means of a linear seam, adding the tag of the product into said seam FIG. 7.

  • Patent number: 7818977
    Abstract: Rotary absorption heat pump that comprises a rotary unit (1) that comprises a vapour generator (2), a condenser (3), an evaporator (4) and an absorber (5) interconnected to constitute fluid flow trajectories for a volatile fluid component and a liquid absorbing it. The heat pump also comprises heat transmission means for transmitting heat to the vapour generator (2), said heat transmission means comprising a heat exchanger (6) disposed in the rotary unit (1) through which a hot fluid flows, said heat transmission means also comprising adaptor means in order to transfer said hot fluid from a static environment to said heat exchanger (6).

  • Publication number: 20050245772
    Abstract: Derivatives of branched or linear olefins and alcohols made by halogenation of branched or n-alkanes of the same carbon number, preferably to make primary mono-haloalkanes, which may then be oxidized with metal oxides. The derivatives of primary alcohols of this invention include alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol sulfates, alcohol sulfated ethoxylates, surfactants, including those made with these ethoxylates and/or sulfated ethoxylates, detergents made with these surfactants, oxyalkylated alcohols, oxyalkylated alcohol sulfates, polymethacrylate esters, alkyl amines and their derivatives, linear phthalates, linear adipates, alcohol ether amines, alkyl glycerol ether sulfonates, thioproprionate esters, alkyl polyglucosides, alcohol phosphates, alcohol ether phosphates, esters of fatty acids, alcohol phosphites, and benzophenones.

  • Publication number: 20050080309
    Abstract: 100551 A catalytic distillation process for isomerizing and separating 1-alkenes from a mixed alkene stream. The process comprises contacting a mixed alkene stream comprising the 1-alkene and homologs thereof with a supported isomerization catalyst under isomerization/distillation conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the homologs to the 1-alkene, the isomerization/distillation conditions also being effective to produce a distillation overhead comprising a sufficient portion of the -alkene to drive isomerization of the homologs to the 1-alkene while maintaining the mixed alkene stream at least partially in liquid phase. The isomerization/distillation conditions are effective to recover a quantity of 1-alkene greater than an equilibrium quantity of 1-alkene recovered under isomerization conditions alone.
