Abstract:
Détecteur et procédé de mesure de la concentration d'acool dans un mélange alcool/hydrocarbure utilisé pour des véhicules ayant des caractéristiques flexibles d'utilisation de carburant. Le détecteur et le procédé se caractérisent par une paire d'éléments de détection (27, 28) qui détectent l'absorbance de deux bandes de longueur d'ondes différentes d'énergie transmise par le carburant. La première bande ayant une première longueur d'onde est absorbée par l'alcool et n'est pratiquement pas absorbée par les hydrocarbures et autres non-alcools dans le mélange de carburant. La seconde bande de seconde longueur d'onde ou bande de référence est sélectionnée lorsque l'absorbance des alcools et des hydrocarbures est essentiellement la même et de préférence égale à zéro. La sortie des deux détecteurs (27, 28) est proportionnée pour produire un signal représentatif de la teneur en alcool du mélange de carburant. Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation, les éléments de détection (27, 28) sont inclus dans une thermopile différentielle.
Abstract:
Le moteur à rapport de compression variable décrit comprend une paire de vilebrequins (15, 16) reliée par un mécanisme de réglage de phases servant à modifier l'angle des phases entre les vilebrequins, faisant ainsi varier le rapport de compression du moteur. Le mécanisme de réglage de phases comporte deux paires d'engrenages hélicoïdaux (23, 24, 25, 26) de modification du rapport des phases. Chacune de ces paires est composée par un engrenage (23, 26) monté fixe sur un vilebrequin (15, 16) et par un engrenage (24, 25) en prise opérationnelle avec le vilebrequin et monté fixe sur un élément de réglage axialement mobile (22).

Abstract:
A polymer blend comprises a high nitrile polymer and a compatible polyolefin functionalized with an unsaturated compound selected from the group consisting of unsaturated carboxylic acids, esters, anhydrides and imides. Such blends can be used to form films and membranes having improved thermal, mechanical and optical properties. The blend combines the low oxygen permeability of high nitrile polymers with the low water vapor permeability of the polyolefins and are, therefore, useful in the packaging industry. A method for forming blends of high nitrile polymers with polyolefins includes the step of functionalizing a polyolefin prepared from a monoolefin having from 2 to about 6 carbon atoms with an unsaturated compound selected from the group consisting of unsaturated carboxylic acids, esters, anhydrides and imides and blending from about 99 to 1 parts by weight of the functionalized polyolefin with from about 1 to 99 parts by weight of the high nitrile polymer.
Abstract:
A polymer blend comprises a high nitrile copolymer and a compatible thermoplastic polymer or copolymer containing polar groups, formed from monomers selected from the group consisting of alkylacrylamides, aliphatic and cyclic methacrylates, unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, vinyl pyrrolidones, heterocyclic ring compounds containing two hetero atoms, lactones and phosphorus-containing monomers that form highly crystalline polymers. Such blends can be used to form films and membranes having improved thermal, mechanical and optical properties.
