Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for obtaining a fiber reinforcement product obtained by an industrial process of reusing carbon fibers deriving from scraps of preimpregnated composite material ("pre-preg") and to a related process for making cement mortar containing the fiber reinforcement product, comprising the following steps: heating said scraps to a temperature and for a duration such as to ensure the polymerization of the resin contained in said scraps; grinding said scraps to obtain fragments of reinforcing fibers, sieving said fragments in order to obtain fragments in at least one predetermined dimensional range and mixing said fragments with at least the solid components of mortar to obtain said cement mortar.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method for treating an article (9) made of fibrous material, able to provide said article (9) with antibacterial and/or antifungal properties by the application on a surface (9p) of said article (9) of particles of a method oxide. The method according to the present invention comprises the first step of generating said particles by flame synthesis of said particles from a precursor compound. The method according to the present invention then comprises the second step of depositing said particles in a controlled manner on a surface (9p) of said article (9) by means of thermophoresis. The present invention further refers to a medical and/or health care and/or personal care device comprising an article (9) made of fibrous material treated by means of the method comprising the aforesaid first step and second step.

The door (3) comprises at least one or more panels (10; 10', 12') of thermal glass, on which thermochromic elements (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are applied, which are arranged close to one another, and which have respective activation temperature ranges, thus providing an easy-to-see indication of the temperatures in the oven.
Abstract:
A dishwashing machine has a load-bearing structure that comprises a base supporting a washtub (3), there being articulated to the load-bearing structure a front door (4) of the washtub (3), the machine (1) moreover having a system for extraction of damp air from the tub (3), which comprises a fan (7) and a discharge duct (8) having a hollow body (9) with a width dimension and a height dimension. The fan (7) is a radial fan having a fan housing (7a), housed in which is a centrifugal impeller (7b), and the discharge duct (8) has an inlet portion (10) and an outlet portion (11). The intake mouth (7c) of the fan (7) is in fluid communication with an outlet opening (15) of the tub (3), the inlet portion (10) of the discharge duct (8) is in fluid communication with the delivery (7d) of the fan (7) and the outlet portion (11) of the discharge duct (8) is at the front of the machine (1). The discharge duct (8) has a portion (12) intermediate with respect to the inlet and outlet portions (10, 11) having a height (H) that decreases towards the outlet portion (11) and a width (W) that increases towards the outlet portion (11). At least the outlet portion (11) and the intermediate portion (12) of the discharge duct (8) extend over an upper wall (3a) of the tub (3), with the outlet portion (11) above an upper edge of the door (4). The outlet opening (15) is formed in one of the upper wall (3a) and a stationary side wall (3 c) of the tub (3), with the fan housing (7a) that is mounted on the aforesaid wall with the respective intake mouth (7c) that is at the outlet opening (15) and is substantially coaxial thereto. The damp air is drawn in from the outlet opening (15) substantially in the direction of the axis (A) of the impeller (7b) and forced in a radial direction into the discharge duct (8), and then expelled from the outlet portion (11) at the front of the machine (1) above the upper edge of the door (4).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for fastening an electric resistor to a muffle of an oven for household use. The method provides to fasten the resistor through support structural elements that are applied at the bottom of the muffle. To this end, the resistor is configured according to a linear, polygonal, circular, or other shape extending in a peripheral region with respect to the bottom of the muffle. The invention also relates to an oven made according to this method.
