20120283348 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CURING A THERMOSETTING POLYMER - The present invention concerns a method and a device for curing a thermosetting polymer. The method comprises the steps of irradiating the thermosetting polymer with microwaves at a first power level so as to heat up the thermosetting polymer by dielectric heating, and when the thermosetting polymer reaches a first predetermined temperature, irradiating the thermosetting polymer with microwaves at a second power level, substantially higher than the first power level, to further heat up the thermosetting polymer by dielectric heating. The device comprises an enclosure for receiving the thermosetting polymer, a microwave emitter for emitting microwave radiation into the enclosure, and a control unit for controlling a microwave emission power of the microwave emitter according to the abovementioned method. | 11-08-2012 |
20120282421 | METHOD FOR HEATING A FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER - The present invention concerns a method for heating a fiber-reinforced polymer forming at least part of a hollow vessel, in particular, a high-pressure gas tank made of a fiber-reinforced polymer, the method comprising the steps of filling said vessel with a flowable polar material, in particular, a flowable polar liquid such as water, and irradiating said vessel with microwaves so as to cause at least a dielectric heating of the flowable polar material within the vessel. | 11-08-2012 |
20120280182 | METHOD FOR HEATING A FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER ARTICLE - The present invention concerns a method for heating a polymer article reinforced with electrically conductive embedded fibers, comprising the steps of applying an outer, electrically non-conductive coating so as to cover exposed electrically conductive fibers, and irradiating the coated, fiber-reinforced thermosetting polymer article with microwaves within a predetermined frequency range so as to heat up the coated, fiber-reinforced thermosetting polymer article by dielectric heating. | 11-08-2012 |

20120143488 | VEHICLE OR TRAFFIC CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM - The invention relates to a vehicle or traffic control method and to a vehicle or traffic control system. The vehicle or traffic control method comprises the steps: a) estimating actual and/or future behavior of a first traffic participant and of a second traffic participant, respectively, the second traffic participant being different from the first traffic participant, b) estimating a trajectory to be taken by the first traffic participant and/or a trajectory to be taken by the second traffic participant, c) determining risk of collision of the first traffic participant relative to the second traffic participant by calculating information adapted for risk assessment of collision of the first traffic participant relative to the second traffic participant, and d) controlling the behavior of the first traffic participant based on the information provided after step a), step b) and/or step c). In this way a probability value is determined which indicates the plausibility that a vehicle or traffic participant might enter into collision within a certain time horizon in the future. | 06-07-2012 |
