The invention relates to an image-reconstruction technique which is used to view multiphase flows using electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), which is based on non-linear heuristic global optimization methods involving simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. The inventive method consists in obtaining electrical capacitance data which are measured between electrodes positioned on the outer surface of pipeline, well or tank (electrically-insulating) containing fluids. The aforementioned data are dependent on the distribution of the fluids inside the pipeline, well or tank. Moreover, the data are processed in order to reconstruct an image of the spatial distribution of the relative electrical permittivity (also known as the dielectric constant) inside the tube, well or tank, which reflects the distribution of the different phases present in the flow.
摘要:
The present invention provides solid alkaline fuel cells comprising anion exchange membranes which comprise diamines or polyamines coupled to a support polymer via a sulfonamide linkage. At least one nitrogen atom of the diamine or polyamine is a quaternized nitrogen atom acting as an anion exchange group. The anion exchange membrane exhibits favourable properties that render it suitable for use in a solid alkaline fuel cell.

A method for treating a subject with multiple sclerosis is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method is provided for treating a subject with multiple sclerosis that includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an IL-21 receptor antagonist, wherein the subject has failed to respond treatment with beta interferon, thereby treating the subject.
摘要:
The invention relates to a composition comprising: (A) from 50 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin, and (B) from 5 to 50% by weight of at least one functional siloxane elastomer at least partially grafted to the thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin, which is non-crosslinked and in which the grafted functional siloxane elastomer is at least 2.5% by weight, expressed with respect to the total weight of (A) plus (B) free from non-grafted functional siloxane elastomer. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of said composition and the use of said composition as compatibilizer or in mono- or multilayer structures.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for defining, implementing, deploying and/or executing Web services. A Web service is defined using a graphical interface that allows the application developer to specify the operation of the Web service through inclusion and configuration of graphical nodes representing particular operations and/or functions. The Web service definition can in some instances include standard functions and/or previously defined Web services. The environment for definition typically includes a user input device, a graphical display device, a system data store and a system processor. The system processor is in communication with the other elements. The user defines the Web service using an interface provided via the graphical display device. The user interacts with the interface using the user input device. The system processor receives the information from the user input device and updates the provided interface on the graphical display device accordingly. The graphical definition of the Web service is stored at least ephemerally in the system data store, but may in some instances be saved to the system data store. Once defined, the graphical definition is converted into a programmatic implementation executable by a Web services server. This programmatic implementation can then be transmitted to an appropriate Web services server accessible by an intended user community.

A method of monitoring the service life of a ceramic brake disk, in which the load of the brake disk is computed by way of the actual sensed braking and driving dynamic characteristics and is compared with a definable reference value for the service life.
摘要:
A friction body of porous carbon, which is infiltrated with silicon and reinforced with carbon fibers, includes at least one separate friction layer on a core body. In order to protect the friction layer against damage by outbreaking, carbon fibers in the friction layer are shorter than carbon fibers of the core body. Accordingly, different possibilities for producing a friction body with short fibers in the friction layer are possible.
