OCL 99353 LREP FRM Myers, Dawes & Andras LLP ABST PAL Masa handling methods for the continuous processing of masa type dough in conjunction with commonly available feed processing equipment, such as a masa extruder, an oven, or cooling apparatus. One masa handling method includes a masa separator having a pair of opposed, endless belt conveyors having facing surfaces spaced apart to receive a generally continuous masa stream output from a nozzle on the masa extruder. When the masa stream moves between the conveyors, it is gripped by their facing surfaces and moved away from the nozzle, causing the masa to be separated into individual pieces, or logs. The masa handling method can also include feeding the masa to masa hoppers fed by at least two endless belt conveyors arranged in upstream and downstream positions relative to each other. The masa is transported along the conveyors and is automatically diverted into one masa hopper by a diverter gate operated by a controller that receives a signal from a sensor sensing a masa level within an associated one of the hoppers. The hopper has one or more rotating shafts having projections to remove gas bubbles from the masa and force it toward the sheeter rollers. A pair of primary rollers with scrapers can be provided within the hopper to roll the masa to an intermediate thickness before it passes between the sheeter rollers.

The precursor warhead is a cylindrically-shaped attachment adapted for a friction fit over the nose cone of existing HEAA warheads. The precursor warhead has an instantaneous fuse which initiates a precursor penetrator which causes early detonation of reactive armor, thereby protecting the main charge and penetrator on the HEAA round from damage. The precursor warhead replaces the existing crush switch on the HEAA round and also initiates, with appropriate time delay, the main explosive charge.

This improved technique utilizes acoustic driving to affect indirect modulation of waste flow velocities. The waste surrogate gases are modulated indirectly by periodic entrainment created by the roll-up of the main air vortex as well as indirect acoustic excitation of secondary air injection. One of the main advantages of this new configuration is the acoustic drivers used to phase inject the waste into the vortex for proper combustion are not in direct contact with the hot waste and therefore can be less expensive and more durable over the long term.

FR2 Gilbert, III; E. Harrison ABST PAL An inverter fluid that intermixes with a non-aqueous (e.g., oil) external/aqueous internal fluid to cause external/internal inversion is designed. This includes testing a selected inverter fluid with a test fluid having a composition nominally equivalent to the composition of the non-aqueous external/aqueous internal fluid. A quantity of the designed inverter fluid is made and placed in the annulus of a well, such as an oil or gas well, to remove the non-aqueous external/aqueous internal fluid on at least a portion of one or more surfaces of the annulus. This can include pumping the inverter fluid along with a stream of cement. The inverter fluid displaces at least part of the non-aqueous external/aqueous internal fluid in the annular region and inverts the coating of non-aqueous external/aqueous internal fluid sufficient to remove the coating ahead of the cement. Determining a suitable inverter fluid comprises: measuring a parameter related to electrical conductivity of an initial mixture including (1) a test fluid having a composition nominally equivalent to the non-aqueous external/aqueous internal fluid and (2) part of a selected inverter fluid; and adding a further part of the selected inverter fluid to the initial mixture until the measured parameter indicates the external/internal phases of the test fluid have inverted.

The roll-like brushes are driven to rotate in opposite directions, and a semiconductor wafer is arranged between them in a non-contact manner. The cleaning brush is arranged near the pair of roll-like brushes. While the semiconductor wafer is arranged between the pair of roll-like brushes and its upper and lower surfaces are being cleaned, the cleaning brush brushes the side surface of the semiconductor wafer. A cleaning agent is supplied from the pair of roll-like brushes to the semiconductor wafer to clean it. Since the upper and lower surfaces of the semiconductor wafer are cleaned in a non-contact manner, dust can be removed efficiently (within a short period of time and a small space).

At the free ends of the tweezer legs (3) opposite plush pads (13) and opposite cotton or paper pads (15) are provided. The plush pads (13) can be dipped in alcohol before cleaning the ribbon fiber. Then the alcohol is sucked into and held by the plush cloth, whereas the part of the tool, which comprises the wiping/drying pads (15), remains dry. An end of the ribbon fiber (17) is then moved over the pads first contacting the liquid-containing plush pads (13) and thereafter contacting the adjacent dry pads (15).

After allowing the plaster lines to dry and harden, the second step is to fill the spaces between the lines with more plaster forming the final plaster surface by raising the level of plaster to the plane of the final surface. More layers of plaster may be applied if needed. A serrated hand tool is proposed for aiding the plaster spreading which contains a plurality of generally triangular teeth with oval upper portions and blunt lower ends defining the distal edge of the tool. The new method allows a faster application of plaster in a construction practice with reduced consumption of plaster material.

LREP FRM Fulwider Patton Lee & Utecht, LLP ABST PAL A sterile tool for crimping a stent onto a balloon catheter is disclosed. The stent crimping tool includes two major components, a cylindrical body having external threads and a rotating collar with internal threads engaging the external threads. The collet end of the cylindrical body is split into segmented jaws that are biased to flare outward in an open state. A stent loaded onto a balloon catheter and situated inside the open segmented jaws can undergo a crimping operation when the collar is rotated and advances toward the flared open segmented jaws. When the collar engages the segmented jaws, the jaws are forced to converge and close onto the stent-catheter assembly thereby crimping the stent onto the balloon catheter.

ABST PAL The screwdriving device (9) according to the invention has a control device (22) which uses a sensor system (18) to determine a characteristic variable (K) which characterizes a screwdriving moment (M.sub.v) of the screw connection (10) and/or an emitted moment (M) of the impact screwdriver, during or after at least one pulse emission from the impact screwdriver to the screw connection, and defines a drive variable, for example a required drive speed (n) for the next impulse emission, as a function of the determined characteristic variable (K.sub.i). In this case, the drive variable (n) is initially set to a value which corresponds to a value (K.sub.0) to be expected of the characteristic variable (K) and its magnitude is in any case less than a desired value (K.sub.req) for the final screw connection state. This prevents the desired screwdriving moment being exceeded even after the first impulse emission in the event of unfavorable screwdriving conditions. Instead of this, the desired final screw connection state is approached step by step, in a controlled manner.

In the method of the present invention, rolled panel sections are inserted through a hole of an existing outer tank. The rolled panel sections are adjacently positioned within the existing outer tank and expanded so as to conform to the shape of the existing outer tank. End cap sections either flat or domed depending on the shape of the outer tank are also installed through the hole. All of the seams (axial and transverse) are sealed so as to provide for an inner tank within the outer tank that can rate as a stand-alone tank. Circumferential ribs are installed and attached along a length of the inner tank so as to provide for a structural rigidity of the inner tank. With the method of the present invention it is not necessary to completely replace an existing tank and at the same time, if the outer tank has structural weaknesses, the tank can be strengthened by the formation of the inner tank utilizing the method of the present invention.

ABST PAL A method of assembling a heat exchanger unit (12) that involves an expansion technique for securing a heat exchanger tube (18) to a number of fins (24) without physical intrusion into the tube passage. The method includes forming the tube (18) to have substantially parallel tube portions (26). Pairs of tubes portions (26) may be connected by a bend or an elbow (28) to yield a serpentine tube configuration. Each of the fins (24) is formed to include one or more apertures that are sized to receive the tube portions (26). The fins (24) are then arranged to form a fin pack (22), so that their apertures are aligned to form an aggregate passage through the fin pack (22). The tube portions (26) are then inserted into the aggregate passage, such that the elbow (28) (if present) and/or the ends of the tube (18) remain outside the fin pack (22). Finally, the tube portions (26) are expanded to contact and become mechanically secured to the fins (24) through the application of a compressive force in a longitudinal direction to the tube portions (26).

OCL 165 10 LREP FR2 Gonzalez; Floyd A. Cantor Colburn LLP ABST PAL A cold plate includes two flow-wise isolated coolant (or refrigerant) passages (or sets of passages) originating at the center of the cold plate and terminating at an edge for use in conjunction with separate refrigeration systems. The cold plate passages are centrally fed by the refrigeration system to create a cooling gradient radiating from the center of the cold plate to its edges. The center-fed cold plate provides a more even temperature gradient across the thermal source. The cold plate passages do not permit flow communication between distinct coolant (or refrigerant) paths. This permits two distinct cooling systems to operate either dually or in a redundant manner. Nonetheless, flow isolation is achieved while still maintaining tight thermal coupling between each path and the object, such as an electronic computer processor module, to be cooled.

The compass bar is an elongated bar having a slot formed along its center. The pin carrier slides along the compass bar and includes a pin holder and a knob located opposite the pin holder along the compass bar. The pin holder includes a reference surface that lies substantially in line with a pin held by the pin holder. The knob allows the pin holder to be rotated between a first position where the reference surface lies parallel to the compass bar, and a second position where the reference surface lies perpendicular to the compass bar. When the reference surface lies perpendicular to the compass bar, the gauge may be used as a marking gauge or a compass by inserting a marking instrument into the marking instrument holder. Etched markings along the compass bar indicate the distance between the reference surface or pin and the marking instrument. When the reference surface lies parallel to the compass bar, a nest in the marking instrument holder protects the tip of the pin.

A module is provided to compensate thermal errors of the machine tool. The module comprises an operating part, a data bank, an analog to digital converter, a counter and a digital input/output part. The data bank stores in all the coefficients applied to a thermal error modeling equation which governs a relation between temperatures and thermal errors at various operating conditions. The operating part determines all the coefficients of the thermal error modeling equation which are stored in the data bank and calculates the thermal errors corresponding to the temperatures of a plurality of the thermocouples by the temperatures of a plurality of thermocouples inputted from the A/D converter and the positional coordinates of the bed inputted from the counter. Then, digital data of the calculated thermal errors are inputted into the digital input/output part and the digital input/output part converts the digital data to digital signal to input the digital signals into the controller. A controller orders the machine tool to compensate the thermal errors at the positional coordinates of the bed and the feed of the spindle. Accordingly, since the machine tool compensates the thermal errors in advance, the machine tool processes precisely workpieces in spite of the occurrence of the thermal errors.

OCL 426422 LREP FRM Antonelli, Terry, Stout & Kraus, LLP ABST PAL The hydroextractor disclosed has a dehydration chamber, a pressurization chamber defined by a flexible diaphragm in isolation from the dehydration chamber, and a crushing member disposed in the dehydration chamber. A pipe member extends through the pressurization chamber and the diaphragm, and a rotary shaft extends sealingly through the pipe member into the dehydration chamber. The crushing member is mounted to the rotary shaft and is driven by a drive apparatus connected to the opposite end of the shaft. The hydroextractor feeds moist material and pours cooling water into the dehydration chamber and introduces pressurized water into the pressurization chamber. The hot material fed in the dehydration chamber is pressure-dehydrated into a cake with the diaphragm of the pressurization chamber. The dehydrated cake is poured with cooling water, and at the same time the crushing member crushes the dehydrated cake and mixes it with the cooling water. This agitation breaks films of coagulative substances formed in the dehydrated cake and provides passages for the residual water to be extracted, thereby increasing the dehydration rate and rapidly cooling the material.

OCL 385146 LREP FRM Skarsten Law Offices S.C. ABST PAL View box apparatus is provided for illuminating a film containing a medical diagnostic image for radiologic observation and study. A light source is contained within the view box, at one end thereof, and a transparent plate is positioned at the other end for supporting the imaging film. A panel of material is positioned in the box between the light source and the transparent plate to diffuse light from the source, and one or more layers of a microprism film is positioned between the diffuser panel and the imaging film. The microprism film layer reflects light rays which are incident thereon at an angle less than a critical angle back into the view box, so that such light rays do not pass through the microprism film to illuminate the imaging film. Light rays incident upon the microprism film which are greater than the critical angle are refracted by the microprism film, to provide light for illuminating the imaging film having a solid angle which is much less than the solid angle of light from the diffuser. Accordingly, the microprism film serves to substantially reduce scatter, and thereby significantly improves resolution and contrast for an observer of the imaging film.

Connections between the modules and the conductors may be such that the modules slide on the conductors. Such connectors may be snap on connectors or may be prongs insertable into helical springs about the conductors such that compression of the springs increases the diameter of the springs to allow them to slide on the conductors and lack of compression allows the springs to grip the prongs tightly.

ABST PAL An information display system, mountable on planar surfaces such as the walls of buildings or the sides of semi-trailers, includes a frame and a polygonal flexible sheet perimetricly anchored to the frame. The system includes at least one anchoring bracket rigidly attached to the planar surface at each of the sheet's apices or corner locations. Other anchoring brackets may be rigidly attached to the planar surface at various locations along the sign's edges. The sign may be a sheet of flexible polymeric material which may be optionally fiber-reinforced. Alternatively, the sign may be cloth made from tightly woven natural or synthetic fibers. An advertising message or other graphic information is printed on the sign, which is hemmed along its perimetric edges to create a sleeve surrounding the sheet. At least one retaining device is inserted through the perimetric sleeve, and the sheet is secured by tensioning means attached to the anchoring brackets which act on the retaining device(s). For a first embodiment of the invention, the retaining devices includes multiple hollow tension beams, each of which has longitudinal slit through which a portion of the hemmed edge of the flexible sheet is inserted. A trapping stick, rod or tube, inserted through a portion of the sleeve inserted within the tension beam effectively secures the hemmed edge to the tension beam. Each tension beam encloses a portion of the perimetric sleeve. Each end of tension beam is secured to an anchoring bracket with tensioning bolts. The tightening action stretches the flexible panel within the anchoring frame so as to provide a smooth surface on which the information is displayed.

The cover is gathered tight above the waterline. An air-duct fan inside the cover draws in clean dry air from outside through a filtered vent and a connecting flexible air duct. Such fan runs on electricity provided by shore power, the boats electrical system, or solar panels. The exhaust air is directed through another vent through the cover. The intake cover vent is filled with a replaceable filter foam material. In both vents, a louver opening is directed downward to prevent rain or water spray from entering. The fan need only keep the air inside the boat dry over the long term. The fan therefore may run continuously, or as power is available, e.g., during daylight when the sun is shining. In alternative embodiments, the pressurized air from the fan is valved through to inflate internal support chambers that will keep the cover away from the top surfaces of the boat even after the fan has stopped.

The adjustable frame allows the external thread member to be turned, thereby adjusting its length, capable of fixing to the opening portion of the partition. Further, if necessary, the adjustable frame may be comprised of a pair of frame members having the width where a first frame member and a second frame member overlap in part in a thickness direction of the partition (wall thickness). It is provided a surface member so arranged that the end face of said second frame member that overlaps the surface of said first frame member and the edge surface thereof are covered, and a clip engaging member for allowing said first frame member to be brought into contact with the back surface of said second frame member is also provided. In the above-mentioned arrangement, therefore, the adjustable frame can be adapted for the wall thickness of the opening portion. The adjustable frame can be realized in a manner that the spacing between the partition and the frame can be readily adjusted by turning the external thread member at the time of installation of the frame at the opening portion of the partition provided in houses and the like, and can be adapted for different levels of the wall thickness by a separated frame member in a wall thickness direction of the opening portion.

Since the steel elements (6, 7) are firmly connected together by mechanically joining together the adjacent mating edge portions (5) without requiring welding, field work is facilitated and simplified, and the steel elements may be made of a corrosion-resistant metal or may be formed by processing surface-treated metal plates.

ABST PAL In a tubular bagging machine with two cross-sealing jaws 1, 2, which are movable toward one another and thereby cross-weld a foil tube, product that moves between the cross-sealing jaws 1, 2, interferes with the cross seam, and results in a leaky cross-seam of a tubular bag. In order to reliably recognize entrapped product 10, it is suggested to measure the performance resistance of the servomotor on the cross-sealing jaws 1, 2, which are moved by a servomotor drive 4, in order to determine product entrapment. The machine controller 8 can additionally receive from the drive 4 a value for the jaw position, which position value corresponds to a desired momentary jaw pressure. A product entrapment is determined from a high or measured performance resistance value from the desired value. A reliable product entrapment recognition is achieved through the use of the light-metal cross-sealing jaw.

ABST PAL A feeding apparatus for delivering tablets or performs to an encapsulating machine includes a number of vertically extending chutes, each capable of holding a number of tablets aligned in a row along the respective chute. A plunger mechanism temporary engages one of the tablets in the chute so as to prevent downward movement of the tablet and all pills located above it in the chute. A rotatable feed roll is located adjacent a bottom end section of the chutes and this roll has a number of tablet cavities, each capable of holding an individual tablet. Pivotable stop members are used to prevent temporarily downward movement of the bottom pill in each chute, this pill being located downstream of the plunger. These stop members move to a pill releasing position when the plungers are engaging their respective tablets in the chutes. Each stop member prevents downward movement of its respective row of pills in the chute past the stop member when the plunger is moved to a position of disengagement.

ABST PAL A system for controlling the header speed of a windrower to a set point includes a variable displacement pump producing a variable outflow of hydraulic fluid for driving the header via two hydraulic motors, the system being characterized in that the pump is driven by a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal having a duty cycle that is dependent on the speed and the acceleration of the header. When the header speed falls outside a window or range of speeds centered at the set point, header speed is used to modify the duty cycle of the PWM signal and bring the header speed back within the window. In addition, the duty cycle of the PWM signal is decremented if the acceleration of the header exceeds a threshold and the header includes disk type cutters.

OCL 474109 ABST PAL A chain or belt tensioner is provided in a header for a harvester having a pair of rollers, each supported on separate pivot arms and engagable with the slack and taut strands of the chain or belt. The pivot arms are mounted about a common pivot and are spring biased into engagement with the chain or belt by a common spring. When the drive direction is reversed, the normally slack side of the chain becomes taut and assumes a straight-line position between the sprockets or sheaves. The pivot arms will rotate about the pivot and the pivot arm on the strand that has now become slack will rotate to tension the slack strand. The biasing spring coupled to the two pivot arms biases the rollers against the two strands of the chain and provides a fixed tensioning force on the chain that does not require adjustment.

ABST PAL An apparatus is disclosed for manufacturing communication cables with improved, more uniform impedance characteristics at signal frequencies up to and above 600 MHz. The apparatus includes an "inside-out" rigid twisting machine and at least two bobbins supported within each such machine. Each rigid twisting machine includes a drive for spinning each of the bobbins about their respective axes, and fly-off arrangement is provided for flying off an insulated conductor wire wound on each of the bobbins with substantially no tension in the wire when the bobbin attains a first rotational speed. Guides are provided for guiding the wires from each of the bobbins to a closing point where the wires are closed. A double twist bow arrangement is provided which includes second drive for twisting the closed wires at a second rotational speed to form a twinned cable. Controls are provided for adjusting the first and second rotational speeds to apply a pre-twist to each of the wires about their individual neutral axes prior to twinning, after which a take-up is provided for taking up the twin cable. A bank or line of rigid twisting machines are preferably used to produce two or more twinned cables, which all can then be twinned or twisted about each other to form a multi-cable assembly. An alternate embodiment uses a single bobbin wound with a pair of conductor wires that are flown off together and twisted about each other, resulting in a machine with a smaller footprint and bow and higher speeds of operation.

A first portion of the expanded binary working fluid is directed to a distiller/condenser where it is transformed into a first concentration binary working fluid, having a first concentration of a component of the binary working fluid, and a second concentration binary working fluid, having a second concentration of the component. At least the first concentration binary working fluid is directed to a regenerative heat exchanger. A second portion of the expanded binary working fluid is also directed to the regenerative heat exchanger. The first concentration binary working fluid is transformed into a vaporized binary working fluid and the second portion of expanded binary working fluid is transformed into a feed binary working fluid in the regenerative heat exchanger. The feed binary working fluid is directed to a vapor generator where it is vaporized. The second concentration binary working fluid is combined with the vaporized feed binary fluid to form the superheated binary working fluid. The flow of binary working fluid within the distiller/condenser is actively regulated to regulate the temperature of the superheated binary working fluid.

ABST PAL A portable heating and cooling unit intended to be used within a room or area of a building includes a cabinet supported on a plurality of wheels and a refrigeration circuit at least partially carried within said cabinet. The refrigeration circuit includes a first coil, a compressor, a second coil and a refrigerant reversing valve. In a cooling mode of operation, the first coil acts as an evaporator coil and room air is circulated by a first fan across the evaporator coil and delivered into the room. A second fan circulates room air through the second coil acting as a condenser coil and discharges the thus warmed air away from the room area to be cooled. In a heating mode of operation, the refrigerant reversing valve is activated to change the flow direction of the refrigerant through the circuit such that the first coil now acts as a condenser and the second coil now acts as the evaporator. Room air is drawn by the first fan across the first coil to heat the room air and delivery the room air into the area of the room to be heated. The second fan draws room air through the evaporator coil and discharges the thus cooled air away from the area of the room being cooled. The refrigerant reversing valve is activated by a control which is selectable to choose heating or cooling for the portable unit.

PAL Knitted Fabric Technology, "Introduction to Knitting Terminology", by Charles Reichman, pp. 1-5. LREP FRM Kennedy Covington Lobdell & Hickman ABST PAL A novel method of fabricating surgical gowns basically comprises the steps of fabricating main body robe portions for the gowns, each having a pair of arm sleeves terminating at respective wrist openings, knitting on a circular knitting machine a plurality of discreet individual annular cuff blanks for the gowns, and affixing, e.g., by sewing, one cuff blank to each sleeve of each robe portion in surrounding relation to the sleeve's wrist: openings. According to the invention, each cuff blank is knitted to have an annular main cuff body portion entirely of a single ply knitted construction, with an annular turned welt integrally knitted with one end of the cuff body. The material and fabrication costs associated with disposable surgical gowns and like medical garments may thereby be significantly reduced.

ABST PAL A bicycle carrier fastening bracket has a main body, a base, and a leg extending from the base to support a tube defining a hole for receiving a threaded rod having threaded end engaged with a fast releasing nut. The threaded rod also has a head end and associated head end washer, the head end being engaged with a handle capable of eccentric motion. The tube has a slot for receiving an arresting washer, and there is a round hole in the leg. The handle has a grip with a locking hole corresponding in diameter to the round hole. The eccentric body fastening the handle regulates a distance between each of the threaded rod head end washer and the nut and its respective opposite end of the main body. The distance can be shortened to clamp a bicycle front fork when the handle is rotated to rest the grip against the leg, with the locking hole of the grip rested against the leg, so as to facilitate installation of a lock and confine displacement of the grip. The arresting washer, in a normal state with the bicycle front fork unfastened, impedes movement of the threaded rod, thereby preventing the threaded rod from sliding in the tube hole and maintaining each of the distances to enable the bicycle front fork to be fastened.

A controller adjusts the operating speed relationship between the first and second individually driven roll stands to achieve an increased level of tension in the front and tail end segments of the product passing between the first and second individually driven roll stands. The increased level of tension results in the decrease in product cross sectional area sufficient to compensate for the lack of cross sectional area reduction resulting from the absence of interstand tension experienced by said front and tail end segments while being rolled in the group of roll stands. To control the gauge of the front end of the continuous hot rolled product, the controller commands a decrease in the speed of the first roll stand as front end approaches the second individually driven roll stand, which is located adjacent to and downstream of the first individually driven roll stand. The reduction of the speed of the first roll stand below a nominal rolling speed establishes the increased level of tension of the product between the first and second roll stands when the front end enters the second roll stand. When the front end has passed the first roll stand, the controller commands the speed of the first roll stand to return to the nominal roll speed to roll the segment of the product between the front and tail ends. To control the gauge of the tail end of the product, the controller commands a decrease in the speed of the first roll stand as the tail end approaches the second individually driven roll stand.

The processing machine may be a drawing die including a punch, a blank holder fitted around the punch and vertically movably supported by a cushion pin, and a vertically movable die disposed to face the punch. The workpiece may be a thin plate which is placed on the blank holder. As the die is lowered, the thin plate is sandwiched between the blank holder and the die for drawing the thin plate by the punch. A lower die base plate is provided with a pivotable lever member for pushing the blank holder so that the blank holder begins movement before the die collides against the thin plate. An operation cam for driving the lever member is disposed at a position on the die facing the lever member, and the die collides against the thin plate on the blank holder after the blank holder is in motion.

In particular, the device may be used to determine a person's sobriety by determining the alcohol concentration in a breath sample. To determine the alcohol concentration, the device must be able to accurately determine the volume of breath in the breath sample. The device controls the volume of the breath sample by measuring the pressure of the breath flow through the device and, in response to the pressure, electronically controlling a valve diverting a portion of the breath flow into the fuel cell. One application of the invention is a sobriety interlock for a machine where the machine remains disabled unless the operator is first determined to have an alcohol concentration below a predetermined level.

The crystal oscillator is coated with a layer of material having a sensitivity for hydrocarbon. In response to any interaction between the coating layer and hydrocarbon, the crystal oscillator experiences a shift in its oscillation frequency relative to the fundamental resonance frequency. The frequency shift is representative of the hydrocarbon concentration in the vapor emissions. A control signal based on the frequency shift is generated and then used to adjust the operating speed of the vapor pump.

The conveyor carries the container through a first region in which a negative pressure differential is established between the first region and the interior of the container. The pressure differential can be established, for example, by cooling the first region with cold air. The conveyor also carries the container from the first region to a second region, in which a positive pressure differential is established between the second region and the interior of the container. The pressure differential in the second region can be established, for example, by heating the second region with hot air. In the second region, a sensor detects a transition of the membrane of the container between convex and concave orientations and produces a signal corresponding to the occurrence of the transition. A controller receives the signal from the sensor and determines whether the container has a leak based on the transition of the membrane.

ABST PAL A scanning probe microscope operates in the manner of an atomic force microscope during intermittent periods of scanning motion, in which a sample surface is driven so that a scan line on the surface is moved past a probe tip being vibrated in engagement with the surface. Between these intermittent periods of scanning motion, the vibrating probe tip is moved out of engagement with the sample surface, so that the amplitude and phase shift of probe tip vibrations are determined by the gradient of a force field extending outward from the sample surface. Such a force field is established when the probe tip is attracted by, or repelled from, a magnetic or electric field at or near the sample surface. For each sample point, the system stores data representing the height of the sample surface and the force field.

ABST PAL A high sensitivity, Z-axis, capacitive microaccelerometer having stiff sense/feedback electrodes and a method of its manufacture on a single-side of a semiconductor wafer are provided. The microaccelerometer is manufactured out of a single silicon wafer and has a silicon-wafer-thick proof mass, small and controllable damping, large capacitance variation and can be operated in a force-rebalanced control loop. One of the electrodes moves with the proof mass relative to the other electrode which is fixed. The multiple, stiffened electrodes have embedded therein damping holes to facilitate force-rebalanced operation of the device and to control the damping factor. Using the whole silicon wafer to form the thick large proof mass and using thin sacrificial layers to form narrow uniform capacitor air gaps over large areas provide large capacitance sensitivity. The manufacturing process is simple and thus results in low cost and high yield manufacturing. In one preferred embodiment, the fixed electrode includes a plurality of co-planar, electrically-isolated, conductive electrodes formed by thin polysilicon deposition with embedded vertical stiffeners. The vertical stiffeners are formed by refilling vertical trenches in the proof mass and are used to make the fixed electrode stiff in the sense direction (i.e. Z or input axis). The moving electrode is dimensioned and supported for movement on the proof mass so as to be stiff in the sense direction. In another embodiment both of the electrodes are electroplated. In yet another embodiment four support beams support the proof mass at an upper portion thereof and four support beams support the proof mass at a lower portion thereof.

The stored excitation signal is supplied to the transducer (2) via a digital-to-analog converter (5). Repeated adjustment of the stored excitation signal can be effected by supplying, via an analog-to-digital converter (8), the echo pulse signals from the ultrasonic transducer (2) or the output voltage of the power amplifier (6) to the control logic (4) for analysis. The stored excitation signal is substantially an optimal lag filter f.sub.L (t) proper to the transducer and the desired output waveform w(t). The optimal lag filter f.sub.L (t) is calculated as follows: for all reasonable values of lag l a lag filter f.sub.l (t) is calculated for the delayed desired output waveform w(t).fwdarw.w(t-1); lag filter quality P(f.sub.l (t)) is evaluated; and the optimal lag filter f.sub.L (t) is selected corresponding to the value of lag L yielding the best filter quality.

ABST PAL An ultrasonic system for grading meat transmits an ultrasonic signal into the meat and detects the resulting back-scattered signal. The envelope of the back-scattered signal is determined. A decaying exponential curve having the form y=exp(-Dt) is fitted to the envelope, where D is the attenuation factor for the curve and t is time. A grade of the meat is then determined as a function of the attenuation factor. It may be possible to improve the accuracy of this approach by measuring the total back-scattered energy from the back-signal and generating a grade for the meat based on a polynomial function of both the attenuation factor and the total back-scattered energy. Optionally, accuracy may be further enhanced by removing any anomalies in the back-scattered signal resulting from fat deposits in the meat before calculating the attenuation factor.

Between the diaphragm and a movable electrode is formed an oxide film to diminish stray capacitance between the movable electrode and a substrate and also between the movable electrode and a impurity-diffused layer. The oxide film and the movable electrode are each divided into plural regions so that the divided regions of the movable electrode are formed on the divided regions of the oxide film, thereby diminishing stress strain induced by a difference in therm expansion coefficient among the diaphragm, oxide film and movable electrode. The upper surface of a fixed electrode is covered with a structure for the fixed electrode which structure is formed by an insulating polycrystal silicon film not doped with impurity whereby the rigidity of the electrode is enhanced and it is possible to diminish a leak current.

The pressure of hydraulic fluid in a hydraulically actuated tensioner is increased from a first low pressure to a higher pressure for elongating the stud while correlating the increase in pressure of the hydraulic fluid with the quantity of hydraulic fluid in the tensioner or with the displacement of a tensioner puller bar or piston. After a nut is tightened on the stud, the pressure of the hydraulic fluid is reduced from the higher pressure to a second low pressure while correlating the decrease in pressure of the hydraulic fluid with the travel of the puller bar or piston or correlating the decrease in pressure of the hydraulic fluid with the change in fluid volume. The elongation of the stud is then determined as a function of the difference in the correlated quantities of hydraulic fluid or the correlated differences in puller bar or piston travel at the first and second low pressures. Finally, the tensioner is detached from the stud.

ABST PAL A system and method are provided for determining the flow rate of blood in a vessel, such as a hemodialysis access. The system includes a conduit, such as an external dialysis circuit or an intravascular catheter, in communication with the blood in the vessel and having a diversion point for diverting the blood from the vessel into the conduit. As such, the vessel has a flow rate (Q.sub.A) upstream from the diversion point and a flow rate (Q.sub.D) downstream from the diversion point. A pump is connected to the conduit for diverting the blood into the conduit using a pump flow rate. An ultrasonic sensor is provided in communication with the blood in the vessel downstream from the diversion point. The ultrasonic sensor senses the downstream flow rate (Q.sub.D) and generates at least two downstream Doppler frequency signals including a first downstream Doppler frequency signal when the pump has a first pump flow rate and a second downstream Doppler frequency signal when the pump has a second pump flow rate. A processor connected to the ultrasonic sensor and the pump then determines the upstream flow rate (Q.sub.A) when the pump has a selected pump flow rate from the first and second downstream Doppler frequency signals and the selected pump flow rate.

Kilpatrick Stockton LLP ABST PAL A sampling system controller includes a control unit for interfacing with a collection chamber module having a plurality of sampling chambers. The control unit controls the times at which the sampling chambers acquire samples of a fluid flow and control flow rates into the sampling chambers. The timing of the sampling chambers and the flow rates may be programmed by a user and downloaded into the control unit through an interface. The control unit measures the flow rate of the fluid flow to be sampled and controls the flow rate through each sampling chambers in order to achieve a desired and known rate through the sampling chambers. The flow rates through the fluid flow and through the sampling chambers are recorded on a data module. The control unit may be equipped with a portable weather station for monitoring weather conditions and with a global positioning system for determining a geographic position of the sampling chambers. The weather and location information may be recorded on the data module. The flow rates through the sampling chambers are controlled by a flow assembly that is easily removed and replaced. The flow assembly has a set of jumpers which specify the flow range of the assembly and which is read by the control unit. A hand-held service module is used to program the sampling system. The service module has a keypad for receiving inputs from a user and has a switch for toggling between an RS232 output or an RS485 output.

It is positioned on the backside of the handlebar and is operated by the thumb. The device has a stop built in that prevents the rider from engaging the throttle at more than half speed using the bar. The rider can increase speed, but only by using the main throttle. This has three beneficial effects. First, it provides a convenient and easy method for riders to operate the throttle without fatigue. Second, it is operated by the thumb, just like the main throttle, thereby preventing confusion in an emergency. Third, it limits the speed the vehicle can operate, no matter how hard the device is gripped. Thus, in a panic situation, gripping the handlebar does not cause any sudden burst of speed.

Flat surfaces of the boss axes are tilted relative to a center line of the groove in a latching position such that a releasing direction of a handle in a releasing position is positioned on an opposite side to an operating portion positioned in the latching position. Accordingly, overlapping lengths between circular arc surfaces of the boss axes in the unlatching position and the partial inner peripheral surface of the bearing hole can be increased. Therefore, a surface pressure applied to the boss axes of the base can be reduced in the unlatching position and thus the handle supporting strength can be improved.

Next, the rack axial direction deviation from the rack-approximated tooth profile at the contact point in sections perpendicular to the axis that arises in actual meshing is resolved into that caused by the inclination angle of the tooth center line of the external tooth of the flexible external gear relative to the tooth space center line of the internal tooth of the rigid internal gear and that caused by shift of the movement locus of the tooth of the flexible external gear from the rack movement locus, and the basic addendum profile of the external gear and the internal gear is corrected so that the algebraic sum of the resolved deviations becomes zero. The dedendum profile of both gears is formed by effecting similar correction. As a result, the two gears effect continuous contact meshing along the tooth trace without occurrence of interference.

The first clamping member has a handle portion and a first jaw portion with a pivot plate portion that has a first pivot hole formed through top and bottom surfaces thereof. The second clamping member has a second jaw portion and a pair of pivot lobes which cooperatively define a receiving space therebetween to permit the pivot plate portion to extend thereinto and which are formed with second pivot holes aligned axially with the first pivot hole. A pivot shaft extends through the first and second pivot holes for mounting pivotally the second clamping member on the first clamping member. A torsion spring is sleeved on the pivot shaft, and is disposed in the receiving space for biasing the second jaw portion to move toward the first jaw portion. One of the top and bottom surfaces of the pivot plate portion is formed with a recess confining wall that defines a recess around the first pivot hole for receiving the torsion spring so that the torsion spring is concealed by the recess confining wall. The receiving space has a width which is measured between confronting inner surfaces of the pivot lobes and which is substantially equal to the thickness of the pivot plate portion measured between the top and bottom surfaces of the pivot plate portion.

ABST PAL The invention relates to foam structures with enhanced physical properties which can be used in the areas of packaging, athletics, water sports, and construction. In general, the structures are laminated polymer foams that include a core of a low density foam and one or more skins of relatively high density foam covering the core. The skins provide improved physical properties to the foam structures by improving the flexural strength, resistance to bending, and resulting damage from bending in the laminated foam structure while modestly increasing the weight of the laminated structure, for example. Uses of the foam structures include, but are not limited to, packaging materials, gym mats, body boards, or eaves fillers. The skin can act as a hinge to fold a die cut piece into a collapsible packaging system.

FR2 Sachs; Michael C. ABST PAL A weapon system includes a gun barrel and a vibration absorber fitted onto a free end of the gun barrel. The vibration absorber includes a compliant energy storage device, such as a spring, and a mass secured to the energy storage device. The potential energy stored in the spring and the kinetic energy stored in the mass inertia are dissipated in part as friction, and re-introduced in part to the gun barrel such that the re-introduced energy is out of phase relative to the gun barrel motion. As a result, the vibration absorber does not totally dissipate the stored energy, but rather reshapes the receptance of the gun system so as to significantly reduce the vibration energy that migrates into the gun structure from known disturbances. This improves the overall accuracy of the gun system. In addition, the vibration absorber reduces the load between the gun barrel and the projectile during launch, thereby reducing the gun barrel muzzle wear and the exit yaw rate of the projectile.

Rotary cutters (74) are rotatably mounted relative to and moveable with the dies (42a, 42b). In one preferred form, a motor (76) can be connected and disconnected to the rotary cutter (74) aligned with the cooker/extruder (12) by a male coupling (96) including an elastomeric band (106) tensioned in a groove (102) formed in an outer peripheral surface (100) and received within the inside surface (116) of a cylindrical body (114) of a female coupling (108). Thus, it is not necessary to shut down the cooker/extruder (12) to service or change the dies (42a, 42b) and/or the rotary cutters (74). An annular wear plate (134) is sandwiched between the slide plate (32) and a frame element (18) having a central aperture (126) into which the barrel (14) of the cooker/extruder (12) is slideably received. A center plate (130) extends through the wear plate (134) and is received within the central aperture (126) and is fastened to the barrel (14). Mixer elements (59) are retained in the subpassageways (124) of the barrel (14) by the center plate (130) and can be removed through one of the die openings (38) when the die (42a, 42b) is removed therefrom and without removal of the barrel (14) from the frame element (18).

In operation, a conically capped hemispherical liner is collapsed in reverse sequence. Detonation of the base of the hemisphere, done earlier in sequence, produces a thick massive jet for initial penetration as a deep crater, in the armor. The conical liner is collapsed afterward, producing a thin jet which reaches the armor deep into the crater earlier produced, at an increased distance than would be usual without a crater. The increased standoff is a further contribution in destructive improvement since adding travel distance to the target for a destructive jet, up to a point, will increase destruction of the target. Various detonation mechanisms, inhibitors, and judicious use of various high explosives and detonation arrangements, all provide the tools for formation of a desired particular two-jet sequence, to accomplish a desired destructive potential. It is further taught that any conventional liner might be jetted in this reverse sense which could reduce the weight of the needed explosive, and the explosive head height, to do the same damage. The method taught here could also tend to avoid the necessity of electronic communication e.g., wires between the front of the charge and the rear of the charge which may destroy the symmetry of the device.

When the Pth stitch point is in a first area within a work holder, the sewing speed is determined to be N rpm. In a second area, it is determined to be N-100 rpm. In a third area, it is determined to be N-200 rpm. The distance from the first area to the connecting part of a work holder driving mechanism is the shortest. The distance for the second area is the next. The distance for the third area is the longest. Therefore, the larger the damping by the movement of the work holder is, the slower the sewing speed is set to. The sewing speed for each stitch created by the stitch formation mechanism can be set as fast as possible so that the damping is substantially settled. Thus, the quality of sewing can be secured and the entire sewing speed can be increased, thereby reducing the sewing time.

At the mooring end of each mooring arm, a mooring pin extends from the arm in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the arm, so that as the mooring end is displaced toward the water when the arm is pivoted about the coupling to the waterfront structure, the mooring pin can be inserted into a suitably dimensioned aperture in a mooring bracket mounted on the surface of a boat. At the pivot end of each arm, a pivot pin projects at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the arm and engages a pivot bracket that is configured for mounting to the waterfront structure in any well known manner. In addition to the pivot pin, an elongate spacer rod extends from the pivot end of each mooring arm in coaxial alignment with the associated mooring pin, and the respective spacer rods of the two mooring arms are mounted in opposed, coaxial alignment when the pivot brackets are mounted on a waterfront structure, so that the two mooring arms may be coupled to each other through the space rods. A tubular spacing sleeve has an open interior space and two open, opposite ends which telescopically receive the respective ends of the two spacer rods. The spacer sleeve includes provisions for maintaining the opposed ends of the spacer rods in suitably spaced apart relationship; one embodiment incorporates spacer pins that are inserted into spaced-apart through holes extending diametrically through opposed portions of the wall sleeve, and in another embodiment a pair of set screws extend through spaced-apart threaded openings in the wall of the sleeve for threaded advancement and retraction into and out of the central interior space. A pair of spacer elements each having a plurality of annular grooves are telescopically displaceable within the interior space of the sleeve where they may be locked into desired position by engagement of the set screws in a desired annular groove.

ABST PAL The invention is gas-filled cavities that reduce drag on the underwater surfaces of marine vehicles. Hydrofoils, struts, boat and ship hulls, pontoons, underwater bodies, fins, rudders, fairings, protuberances, submarine sails and propulsors are underwater surfaces that may be covered by the gas-filled cavities to reduce drag on them. The gas-filled cavities are to be used on underwater surfaces of marine vehicles, such as hydrofoil craft, monohulls, catamarans, SWATH (small waterplane area twin hull) craft, SES (surface-effect ships) and WIG (wing-in-ground effect) vehicles. Each gas-filled cavity is formed by ejecting air near the end of each nosepiece. Air is ejected at a speed and direction which is close to that of the water at the local cavity wall. The cavity is formed behind the nosepiece. The nosepiece is adapted to control the shape of the cavity. Cavity length is also controlled through controlling air ejection rates, and through the use of a tailpiece to close the cavity within a limited region near the front of the tailpiece.

LREP FR2 Morris; Birgit ABST PAL A high pressure, high throughput, single wafer, semiconductor processing reactor is disclosed which is capable of thermal CVD, plasma-enhanced CVD, plasma-assisted etchback, plasma self-cleaning, and deposition topography modification by sputtering, either separately or as part of in-situ multiple step processing. The reactor includes cooperating arrays of interdigitated susceptor and wafer support fingers which collectively remove the wafer from a robot transfer blade and position the wafer with variable, controlled, close parallel spacing between the wafer and the chamber gas inlet manifold, then return the wafer to the blade. A combined RF/gas feed-through device protects against process gas leaks and applies RF energy to the gas inlet manifold without internal breakdown or deposition of the gas. The gas inlet manifold is adapted for providing uniform gas flow over the wafer. Temperature-controlled internal and external manifold surfaces suppress condensation, premature reactions and decomposition and deposition on the external surfaces. The reactor also incorporates a uniform radial pumping gas system which enables uniform reactant gas flow across the wafer and directs purge gas flow downwardly and upwardly toward the periphery of the wafer for sweeping exhaust gases radially away from the wafer to prevent deposition outside the wafer and keep the chamber clean. The reactor provides uniform processing over a wide range of pressures including very high pressures. A low temperature CVD process for forming a highly conformal layer of silicon dioxide is also disclosed. The process uses very high chamber pressure and low temperature, the TEOS and ozone reactants. The low temperature CVD silicon dioxide deposition step is particularly useful for planarizing underlying stepped dielectric layers, either alone or in conjunction with a subsequent isotropic etch. A preferred in-situ multiple-step process for forming a planarized silicon dioxide layer uses (1) high rate silicon dioxide deposition at a low temperature and high pressure followed by (2) the deposition of the conformal silicon dioxide layer also at high pressure and low temperature, followed by (3) a high rate isotropic etch, preferably at low temperature and high pressure in the same reactor used for the two oxide deposition steps. Various combinations of the steps are disclosed for different applications, as is a preferred reactor self-cleaning step.

ABST PAL A crankcase breather oil collector serves to capture oil vapor mixed with crankcase blowby gases, and contain the oil vapor to preclude its exiting to the atmosphere and/or collecting on external machinery components. The device basically comprises a canister which communicates with the crankcase of a four stroke reciprocating internal combustion engine by a tube or line. blowby gases and oil vapor mixed therewith are routed to the canister by the tube or line, with the oil vapor cooling and falling out of suspension with the blowby gases to condense and collect as a liquid in the bottom of the canister. The blowby gases then exit the canister through a filtered vent or outlet. The outlet filter serves to preclude significant particulate matter from being expelled to the ambient atmosphere, and also serves to protect the engine by precluding the entrance of airborne contaminants to the engine when the engine is shut down and cools to provide a relatively low pressure within the crankcase. The oil collected within the canister may be drained by a petcock or drain valve for periodic proper disposal as required. While the present oil collector may be adapted to virtually any type of four stroke reciprocating internal combustion engine not having a positive crankcase ventilation system, it is particularly well suited for use with motorcycles, which are not required to have any form of emissions controls thereon.

A gas capture end of the tube is located adjacent the intake valve and attached to the intake manifold to capture the backflow combustion mixture gases when the intake valve closes. The backflow gases flow through the tube and are injected into the fuel-air mixture exiting the carburetor at an injector end of the tube. The injector end of the tube is mounted to the induction hose to provide an acute angle between gas flowing along the centerline of the tube and gas flowing along the centerline of the induction hose to increase the velocity of gas flowing toward the intake manifold.

ABST PAL A fracture-resistant, thermally stable intake or exhaust valve for an internal combustion (IC) engine. The valve has a stem portion and a head portion, both of which are formed of fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite (FRCMC) material. This FRCMC material generally includes a polymer-derived ceramic resin in its ceramic state, fibers, and filler materials. Employing FRCMC material to form the valve is advantageous as FRCMC material is highly temperature resistant and temperature stable, thereby allowing for increased engine operating temperatures. FRCMC material is also ductile, thus making the valve fracture resistant. The FRCMC material is also flaw-insensitive in that any flaw within the structure of the valve will not result in cracking and failure. In addition, FRCMC valves are considerably lighter than the existing metal valves. This provides an opportunity to reduce the weight of the overall valve train, thereby increasing engine performance. The addition of certain filler materials allows the FRCMC material to be tailored to exhibit a desired degree of harness and/or a desired coefficient of friction. Increasing the hardness of the head of the valve allows it to better withstand the violent environment of the engine cylinder, and lowering the coefficient of friction facilitates the valve movement within the engine.

LREP FRM Bozicevic, Field & Francis LLP. FR2 Cannon; Alan W. ABST PAL The invention comprises a method for performing a coronary artery bypass graft on a beating heart under thoracoscopic visualization without opening the chest wall. At least one small opening is formed in the patient's chest, a target artery for an arterial blood supply is located, instruments are introduced through one or more small openings formed in the patient's chest to prepare the target artery for fluid connection to the coronary artery, and instruments are introduced through one or more small openings formed in the patient's chest to connect the target artery to the coronary artery distal from a stenosis. In a preferred embodiment, a minimal left anterior intercostal thoracotomy provides access to form an anastomosis between the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD) while thoracoscopic viewing facilitates harvesting the LIMA. In other embodiments, access to the patient's heart may be obtained through a trocar sheath or other means for providing percutaneous access to the patient's thoracic cavity without opening the chest wall. Thoracoscopic visualization, depending on the procedure, is used to locate the arterial blood supply, the location of the coronary artery to be bypassed and the location of the occlusion in the artery. In other embodiments, the diagonal (Dx) or circumflex (Cx) arteries may be bypassed.

The O-rings provide an air-tight seal against the collar, and allow the device to rotate relative to the stem, either during or after mounting, to position the device anywhere within a 360.degree. arc around the stem. The O-rings are located on either side of an orifice which extends through the valve stem, beneath the valve. Air passes from the pressurized valve stem, through the orifice, into an air-tight region between the O-rings, valve stem and collar. A port in the collar allows air to pass through the collar from the air-tight region into the device. A wide variety of devices equipped with collars capable of air-tight, slidable mounting over the O-rings can be provided, such as pressure transducers, pressure sensors, temperature gauges, temperature transducers, temperature sensors, or air conduits for coupling to remote equipment. Any such device can quickly and easily be interchanged with a device previously mounted on the valve stem by sliding the previously mounted device's collar off the valve stem, then sliding another device's collar over the O-rings. For initial shipping purposes, a plain collar having no port and no device can be slidably mounted over the O-rings to prevent air passage beyond the air-tight region. The end user can quickly and easily replace the plain collar with a collar-equipped device suited to a particular application.

The method comprises the steps of hauling a tubular liner into a section of pipeline to be repaired, disposing a reforming member within the liner at one end proximate one end of the pipeline, depositing a cement slug in the host pipeline proximate the said one end, and expanding the liner within the pipeline against the inner surface of the said pipeline by urging the reforming member along within the liner under pressure. The outer surface of the liner is provided with a plurality of protrusions in the form of grout anchor hooks which penetrate the cement along the length of the said liner thus ensuring a mechanical bond between said liner and said cement. The cement also adheres to the inner surface of the pipeline and thus a rigid, secure, water impermeable lining construction is achieved. The anchor hooks both prevent gravitational slump of the mortar, and also ensure that the liner does not fall from the cement. A substantially uniform thickness of cement is obtained, and the lining constructions adopts a substantially identical shape to that of the host pipe after the cement has hydrated.

ABST PAL A method of logging a tree includes the steps of cutting the tree part way through the trunk with a cut near the bottom thereof, leaving a connecting portion of the trunk connecting an upper portion of the trunk above the cut to a lower portion of the trunk below the cut. A helicopter above the tree is connected to a point near the top of the trunk. The helicopter is moved away from the tree, thereby breaking the connecting portion and allowing the upper portion of the tree to be carried away by the helicopter. The method utilizes a helicopter logging tool comprising a body having a connection for a lifting device. There is a hook on the body guide connected to the body by a hinge. The guide extends vertically downwards away from the body when the tool is connected only to the lifting device. There is a hook on the body to one side of the guide for engaging an object. When the hook engages an object and the body is lifted by the lifting device, the body rotates and the guide rotates about the hinge so that the guide continues to extend vertically. There is also a jig apparatus for cutting the tree. There are two guides bars, at least one of which has a stop mechanism. Spikes allow the guide bars to be connected to the trunk of the tree in horizontal, parallel positions on opposite sides thereof. A chain saw mount is slidingly received on each of the guide bars. When a chain saw is placed on the chain saw mounted and moved towards the trunk of the tree along the guide bars, the tree is cut to a position determined by the stop mechanism on the guide bars.

The rod may additionally incorporate a locking system to secure the fabric ends inside the rod. The fabric employed is fed into the opening created by the profile, arranged into the style desired and secured into place. Because of the characteristics of the plastic, and the close-fit force exerted on the fabric, the result is to provide a rod which holds the fabric in place.

The bracket is separately formed from the header tank, and is connected to the side plate through a bolt. As a result, the radiator is readily mounted to a vehicle of a different model by only changing an attachment position of the bracket to the radiator, without modifying the header tank. Further, the bracket includes a coolant receiving portion disposed to face a drain outlet of the header tank with a predetermined gap therebetween. Therefore, coolant discharged from the header tank collides with the coolant receiving portion to reduce its dynamic pressure. As a result, coolant drained from the radiator is restricted from being scattered.

ABST PAL The present invention relates to an improved system and method for cooling electronic devices. The present system is particularly adapted for cooling computer equipment. The system comprises a sealed enclosure which houses one or more heat generating electronic devices; a blower; and a heat exchanger. The sealed enclosure may be pressurized with a gas medium such as dry nitrogen up to a pressure of approximately two atmospheres. The elevated pressure increases the gas density, effectively increasing the mass flow rate and heat carrying capacity of the gas. The blower is also a constant volume device such that it can move the same volume of gas regardless of density. Accordingly, for a given heat load, the size of the blower may be reduced. Or, alternatively, a given blower can cool a device having a higher heat load. Finally, by pressurizing the enclosure, the present invention eliminates the need to size a forced air cooling system based on high elevation requirements.

A second planar body connected to the first planar body is used to define a void between the first planar body and the second planar body. The void includes a planar capillary path and a non-capillary region. A fluid positioned within the void distributes heat by vaporizing the fluid from the planar capillary path in the hot region, condensing the fluid in the non-capillary region in the cool region, and moving from the non-capillary region to the planar capillary path in the hot region through capillarity.

ABST PAL A heat transfer tube (10) for use in an application, such as a shell and tube type air conditioning system condenser, in which a fluid flowing through the heat exchanger external to the tubes condenses by transfer of heat to a cooling fluid flowing through the tubes. The tube has at least one fin convolution (20) extending helically around its external surface (13). A pattern of notches (30) extends at an oblique angle (.alpha.) across the fin convolutions at intervals about the circumference of the tube. There is a spike (22) between each pair of adjacent notches. The fin convolution, notches and spikes are formed in the tube by rolling the wall of the tube between a mandrel and, first, a gang of finning disks (63) and, second, a notching wheel (66). Because, during the manufacture of the tube, of the interaction of the rotating and advancing tube and the notching wheel, the angle (.beta.) of inclination of the axis of the tip of the spike is oblique with respect to the notch angle. The maximum width (W.sub.t) of the spike is greater than the width (W.sub.r) of the proximal portion of the fin convolution.

Smith & Hopen, P.A. ABST PAL A bailer has two externally-mounted weights. The first weight is positioned at the uppermost end and the second weight is positioned at the lowermost end of the bailer. The combination of weights increases the insertion rate of the bailer into a liquid so that the time elapsed for an insertion is reduced relative to the time required to insert unweighted bailers, top-weighted bailers, or bottom-weighted bailers. The weights also prevent wobble about the longitudinal axis of the bailer as it descends. The external mounting of the weights further prevents contamination of the liquid collected by the bailer and eliminates back pressure and turbulence caused by interior weights.

LREP FRM Duane, Morris & Heckscher LLP ABST PAL A composite packer or bridge plug includes substantially all nonmetallic components. The design allows the setting tool metallic components to be retrieved after the bridge plug is set. The slips contain flats with mating flats on the cones which extend to one end of the cones and guides for the slips to facilitate proper slip movement into engagement with the wellbore. A lock ring rides on the nonmetallic mandrel and secures the set, using a buttress-type thread to engage into the mandrel body. Alternative designs are revealed for backup to the sealing elements to prevent extrusion. In one design, split rings are axially compressed so that they grow in radial dimension to act as extrusion barriers. In another design, tapered scored rings are rotationally locked against each other and are axially compressed so that they bend into contact with the wellbore to act as extrusion barriers. Axial travel to obtain an extrusion barrier is minimized. The slips are made of a cohesive component and separate from each other upon advancement with respect to the cone. Mandrels of different plugs can lock together to facilitate mill-out in multi-plug installations.

ABST PAL In an underground oil reservoir, an injection well is completed low in the reservoir and a production well is provided having a horizontal leg completed relatively high in the reservoir and a vertical leg completed low in the reservoir. Water is injected with the vertical leg open and the horizontal leg closed, so that a displacement front advances in an under-riding manner between the wells and oil is produced through the vertical leg. Once the water break-through in the vertical leg occurs, it is closed and the horizontal leg is opened. A rising, horizontal, gravity-stable displacement front then advances upwardly toward the horizontal leg, through which oil is produced. The open horizontal leg acts as a low pressure sink to induce the horizontal displacement front to advance up toward it. This two-stage process is characterized by a good vertical and lateral sweep. In a slightly modified version, water is injected with the vertical leg closed and the horizontal leg open so that a gravity-stable displacement front advances both laterally and vertically with a relatively upright position of a displacement front. In this version (one stage process) the process is also characterized by a good vertical and lateral sweep.

OCL 175 62 LREP FRM Jacobson, Price, Holman & Stern, PLLC ABST PAL An apparatus for drilling holes in the steel casing of an a oil or gas well, and drilling into the surrounding earth, includes a number of components controlled by hydraulic fluid. A first hydraulic motor drives a steel milling assembly and a second hydraulic motor drives a rock drilling assembly. All assemblies are supported in a housing that is conveyed by conventional jointed pipe or coiled tubing down the well casing. Control components cause a carriage carrying the milling assembly to be indexed up a predetermined distance relative to the well casing, and then extend a mill bit gradually into contact with the well casing while being rotated by a hydraulic motor. After the mill bit completes a hole through the well casing, the hydraulic components retract the mill bit and index the carriage back down to its starting position to align a rock drilling bit with the hole that was just drilled in the casing. The rock drilling bit is provided on the outer end of a flexible drillstem to enable the rock bit to extend while drilling radially from the wellbore, through the hole in the casing, as it is rotated by the second hydraulic motor.

ABST PAL A powerplant includes an engine (22) that may be disposed on a vehicle chassis 12 including a cab (14) or may be a stationary engine such as a generator set, and has a fuel delivery system (54) through which combustible fuel is introduced into the engine for combustion to power the engine. A tank (42) is disposed on the chassis below the cab at one side of the chassis. A bulkhead (70) divides the tank into a fuel supply reservoir (50) for holding a supply of fuel for the engine and a second supply reservoir (52), the latter reservoir holding a supply of fluid other than engine fuel. A first supply conduit (56) supplies fuel from the fuel supply reservoir to the engine fuel delivery system, and a second supply conduit (66) supplies fluid from the second supply reservoir to a portion of the powertrain. A return conduit (68) returns fluid from the powertrain to the is second supply reservoir and includes a walled passage (72) passing through the fuel supply reservoir. An exchangeable filter (62) is disposed external to the tank and may be placed in filtering relation to flow of fluid through the return conduit. Heat exchanger structure may be associated with the walled passage within the fuel supply reservoir. A thermostat valve (104) may be disposed in the return conduit to selectively divert returning fluid through other heat exchanger structure before the fluid enters the second reservoir.

The regulating element also serves to control the vehicle transverse movement of the vehicle. For this purpose, the regulating element is arranged movably in the vehicle transverse direction of the vehicle. The transverse movement of the vehicle is controlled as a function of the transverse deflection of the regulating element or as a function of the actuating force exerted in the transverse direction of the vehicle.

The support member is supported on and a part of a projecting arm extending outwardly from a bracket attached to the utility pole. The support member is further provided with flanges on the ends thereof to prevent hooks on the end of a lineman's ladder from slipping off the ends of the support member. The support member is long enough not only to provide engagement for both hooks of the lineman's ladder but also could be extended so that the ladder hooks cannot slide off the support member as long as the hooks of the lineman's ladder are astraddle the projecting arm. The projecting arm is of sufficient length to position the top of the ladder below the front face of an electrical equipment cabinet which may be hung on and bolted to a pole bracket. The positioning of the ladder thus further places a lineman at a convenient and comfortable working position relative to an electrical equipment cabinet or other apparatus that may be attached to the pole or to the pole bracket. The pole bracket is also useful to attach the invention to a wall, tower or trestle or other structure.

The invention enhances the ability of an elevator door safety system to discriminate between false targets and true obstructions. The method detects distance between a first plurality of emitters and a first plurality of receivers mounted on the opposing sides of the elevator door system. The method comprises emitting an energy beam from an emitter. A halo component of the energy beam, having a predetermined wide angle, is sampled with the plurality of receivers to provide a set of energy signals indicative of intensity of the halo component energy sampled. From the set of energy signals, a vertical distance from the center of the pattern to an intersection of the halo component with the first plurality of receivers is determined. The distance between the first plurality of emitters and receivers is then calculated utilizing the predetermined wide angle and the vertical distance.

LREP FRM Carlson, Gaskey & Olds ABST PAL A shift by wire vehicle transmission system includes control methods that are especially useful for controlling the transmission under start-from-stop conditions. Since the master clutch must be manually operated under such conditions, the invention includes a method of determining whether the clutch is open or closed. The rotational speed of the engine output shaft is compared to the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft and if the difference between those speeds is greater than a preselected value, the clutch is determined to be open. Another use of the disclosed method is to provide an indication to the driver whether a desired gear has been engaged. A visual or audible signal indicates to the driver that the desired gear is not yet engaged. Once engagement is confirmed, the signal is turned off and the driver knows that the desired shift has been accomplished.

The rotor orbits in an inner elliptical opening of the housing and forms fluid chambers which are filled with a hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic fluid circulates through fluid passages which extend between all fluid chambers when the shifting piston is positioned to allow such fluid circulation, thereby resulting in a disengagement of a drive and driven member. When the shifting piston is driven to restrict the fluid circulation, the driving force is gradually applied to the driven member. A full-scale power flow is reached when the shifting piston is positioned to completely cut off the fluid circulation between the fluid chambers and when the force exerted by the drive member is transmitted through the fluid onto the driven member.

ABST PAL A zero back-pressure conveyor system of the type having a continuous transport element for urging articles along a predetermined conveyor path employs a frame that supports the continuous transport element and is formed of first and second side on opposite sides of the continuous transport element. Articles being transported along the conveyor system are supported on wear strips that are fashioned as segments along the conveyor path and are each individually actuatable between distal and proximal positions with respect to the continuous transport element. Preferably, the wear strips are actuated in pairs by operation of an articulated mechanism that precludes tilting of the articles during coupling and decoupling with respect to the continuous transport element. The articulated motion is achieved by operation of a support bar coupled to the associated wear strip, the support bar having at least one pair of pivotally coupled coupling arms. A linear actuator urges the coupling arms to rotate about their respective pivot points. Bar couplers are disposed across the conveyor to insure that pairs of wear strips operate simultaneously to prevent tilting of the articles either longitudinally or transversely with respect to the conveyor path.

The dispenser is formed of two oppositely disposed side portions or with a spaced opening therebetween. Each side portion has a flexible cushioned flat surface adjacent the spaced opening. The side portions are positioned against tie flexible cushioned flat surfaces to create a means for entrapping objects between the closed surfaces of the side portions when a force is used to hold one side portion against the other. The articles may be trapped completely inside the perimeter of the closed surfaces or partially trapped, allowing portions of the articles to extend just beyond the perimeter.

LREP FR2 Thomas; Charles H. ABST PAL An adjustable rack for socket wrench sockets has an elongated mounting strip and a plurality of socket mounts that are removably coupled to the mounting strip. A longitudinally extending track having overhanging bearing ledges is defined in the mounting strip. Each socket mount has a base with a configuration that conforms to the configuration of the track in the mounting strip. The bases of the socket mounts may be inserted into the track of the mounting strip from either of the open ends of the track. The socket mounts are moved longitudinally along the mounting strip to selected positions which are spaced apart an appropriate distance to accommodate the thickness of the walls of the sockets placed atop the socket mounts. The socket mounts are thereupon tightened relative to the mounting strip. Each socket mount has an internally tapped bore extending through its structure from top to bottom. A clamping screw is threadably engaged in the internally tapped bore and may be advanced to bear downwardly against the floor of the track. This forces the upper surfaces of oppositely directed bearing lugs on the base of each socket mount upwardly against the overhanging bearing ledges defined on flanges alongside the track. Each socket mount is thereby firmly clamped at a selected position along the track. Each socket mount may be provided with a laterally acting spring to aid in releaseably holding a socket on its upwardly or outwardly projecting mounting post or stud of each socket mount.

The container outlet is externally threaded and includes a dispensing opening. The container outlet also includes an annular skirt which provides a support surface for the pair of abutment projections. The closure cap is internally threaded and the pair of spaced-apart abutment ribs are designed to ride over each abutment projection during the threaded advance of the closure cap onto the container outlet. During retrograde rotation of the closure cap from the container outlet, the abutment ribs are designed to abut up against the abutment projections. The abutment ribs are manually movable in a radially inward direction for taking each abutment rib out of abutting engagement with a corresponding abutment projection. In a typical embodiment, the spacing between abutment projections is 160 degrees/200 degrees and the spacing between the pair of abutment ribs is likewise 160 degrees/200 degrees. The thread pitch and the axial height of the abutment ribs and abutment projections are constructed and arranged so as to require a two-step removal procedure. By placing the abutment ribs on spacing other than 180 degrees/180 degrees, the teeth of a young child cannot be used to defeat the child-resistant features.

The connector assembly includes a body disposed on said bottle, and means for communicating fluid such as a luer connector hub which may be separately provided with the body or formed integrally therewith. The luer connector hub features a connector end open for access by medical delivery instrument, and an opposed end which is disposed for fluid communication with a recess defined by the body. The body defines a recess having a fluid path with the open top of the bottle. A membrane, preferably formed from an elastomeric material, is secured across both the recess and the open top of the bottle, and may be retained between the top surface of the bottle and the body. The membrane preferably includes a central area sealing the recess from the open top of the bottle, with one or more fluid openings defined on a portion of the membrane outside of the central area. A pusher is located in the recess. A force exerted on the pusher deflects the membrane towards the interior of the vial, urging the membrane and fluid openings away from the body to open the fluid path between the bottle and the recess. The pusher may be structured to include one or more fluid pathways so as to facilitate fluid flow through the recess. A sealing rib may be provided around the portion of the periphery of the recess to enhance sealing contact between the central area of the membrane and the recess.

The container is a generally parallelepiped container including two lateral, opposite side panels and two longitudinal, opposite side panels. Each side panel is interconnected with adjacent side panels, and each side panel has a lower and an upper edge. The container further includes a bottom panel extending from and interconnects the lower edges of each of the lateral and longitudinal side panels. A top panel extends from and interconnects the upper edges of each of the lateral and longitudinal side panels. A dispensing neck extends generally upwardly from the top panel proximate to a corner formed by an intersection of the top panel with two adjacent side panels. A cover member is removably disposed over an open end of the dispensing neck. The bottom panel has a recessed area which is generally aligned with the dispensing neck. The size of the recessed area is slightly greater than the size of the dispensing neck and the cover member, whereby when a plurality of such packages are stacked one on top of another in a stack, the dispensing neck and the cover member of each underlying package is received within the recessed area of an overlying package such that none of the weight of any overlying package is borne by the cover member and dispensing neck of an underlying package and so that a package can be displaced in one of a first lateral and a first longitudinal direction from the stack of packages for dispensing.

Such processes comprise the biaxial stretching of the preform as the preform is being converted into the tubular container. The preform will be stretched longitudinally by means of a stretch rod and laterally by means of the pressure of the blowing gas. The tubular containers produced by these processes will have burst strengths three to five times that of other tubular containers and can be produced in a thin wall collapsible form. Further, the tubular container will have a tensile strength in the machine direction along a tensile strength in the cross direction greater than other tubes, including laminate tubes, coextruded blow molded tubes and injection stretch tubes. In addition, the tubular containers can be single chamber containers or multichamber containers.

LREP FR2 Wendt; Jeffrey L. ABST PAL Briefly, this invention uses one or more pressure vessels having installed therein on its inside a balloon of flexible and non-expandable wall to smoothly and continuously deliver a chemical to any end user without contamination and gas dissolution. Since the balloon installed inside the pressure vessel isolates a high pressure gas from the chemicals, gas dissolution in the chemical and the resulted gas bubble problems are effectively eliminated. Further, contaminants in the high pressure gas which fills the balloon will not be transferred into the chemical and the extremely toxic chemical will not be transferred into the gas to be exhausted as a serious environmental issue. Unlike the vacuum/pressure system, the contamination by the ambient air leaking into the system is avoided because the disclosed delivery system is always with the pressure higher or equal to the ambient pressure.

The drive screws are axially stationary and are in action relationship with a slide bearing said thrust plates. The drive elements which contain the slide and the drive screws are sealingly separated from the cartridge space. The different forces acting upon the two drive screws are supported by rolling friction on low friction bearings so that no tilting forces on the slide are generated. This arrangement does not require expensive longitudinal guides and their sealing. The drive elements are sealingly separated from the remaining appliance parts such as cartridges in an easy manner. The electric drive comprises a first gear motor for a drive under high load during advance and relief, and a second motor for the drive under lower load during the retracting and fast advance motions. During advance and relief, the main shaft connected to the drive screws remains always coupled to the gear motor by a coupling, said coupling being not actuated during dispensing and relief. Thus, the second motor can be a substantially smaller one, and no expensive couplings are necessary.

ABST PAL Apparatus and method accomplishes the precision pouring of a liquid from a vessel to a predetermined position with a controlled rate of flow. Independently controllable horizontal and vertical translation of the vessel is accomplished by using two rotational elements lying in substantially parallel planes, with the rotational axis of the second element passing through the first element, and having offset first and second axes of rotation. Independently controlled tilting of the vessel about a third axis of rotation that passes through the second element maintains a desired pour rate and aim point for the pour stream. The apparatus is particularly useful when the vessel and the receptacle that receives the liquid are inside a sealed chamber.

ABST PAL A wheeled container is constructed so as to be demountably secured to a cargo carrier assembly (or "carrier") which is externally carried at the rear of a sports utility vehicle or truck. The carrier includes a support beam to which the container is secured by attachment latches on its rigid base. Two of the attachment latches are pivot latches, allowing the container to be pivotably disposed on the support beam without lifting wheels of the container off the ground. In one embodiment, the container comprises a frameless rigid tub adapted to be secured to the support beam; in another the container comprises a framework of elongated rigid struts, e.g. of metal tubing which may be collapsible within which is secured a rectangular receptacle or "sack" of flexible material. Only a portion of the base of the container is directly supported on the support beam, or supported on pivot pins secured to the base. The width of the wheeled container is chosen so that it can be rolled in an inclined or horizontal position through a doorway of a conventional dwelling, and the length is chosen so that, when loaded on the support beam the container does not obscure the tail-lights of the truck.

Reconfiguring the strap to convert from a one-shoulder type to a two-shoulder type, or visa versa, is easy and quick and can be accomplished even during a round of golf. The strap comprises two nested layers. When the two layers are secured together by a VELCRO hook and loop fastener and secured to upper and lower back rings by hooks, the strap functions as a one-shoulder strap. The nested configuration permits a comfortable, padded one-shoulder strap that is still reasonably thin and not unduly heavy and thick. Alternatively, strap layers may be separated from each other and the lower ring used as a slip through ring for an elongated belt secured by a slide-release buckle for encircling the golfer. Each layer is worn over a respective shoulder with the bag carried diagonally across the golfer's back.

The sheave assemblies each include a driven sheave mounted on an arm. When the sheaves are engaged with the cable by an actuator, tension in the cable pulls the sheaves in a way which tends to increase the compressional forces exerted by the sheaves on the cable. The self actuating nature of the slack puller allows compressional forces on the cable to be kept small until the cable comes under tension. The sheaves are driven by positive displacement hydraulic motors connected in series with a hydraulic pump. This permits the sheaves to turn quickly when the cable is not under tension and slows the sheaves as tension in the cable increases. The slack puller operates more quickly and causes less cable damage than conventional slack pullers. The slack puller has particular application in skyline logging operations where its compact size is an additional advantage.

ABST PAL The present invention relates to controls for a multi-zone reflow oven. In the present invention a plurality of infra red thermal scanners are located at critical points along the path which a substrate passes in a reflow oven so as to generate an actual solder paste time/temperature profile as a substrate passes through the zones of the reflow oven. The actual temperature of the solder paste is determined at critical zones for generating feedback control signals. The time/temperature profile is stored for transfer to a different reflow oven so as to effect the identical solder paste time/temperature curve on the same or a different oven. Temperature deviations from the points on the solder paste time/temperature curve are calculated and control signals are generated for producing feedback signals that are applied to the controllers of the belt drive motor, the convection fan motors as well as the heating elements in the heating blocks of the vertical zone heaters to control and effect an actual and desired optimum solder paste time/temperature profile.

ABST PAL A debridging tool incorporated into an automated wave soldering system adjacent to and after a wave soldering station removes bridges and/or excess solder formed during the wave soldering process by emitting, at a desired temperature which can be set using a heater and one or more thermo measuring devices, a pressurized stream of air, inert gas or other fluid only under selected areas of a printed circuit board, including a flexible circuit. The tool comprises a movable nozzle from which the stream is emitted and a means for transporting the nozzle under the printed circuit board. The tool targets only those areas of the board where bridges or excess solder repeatedly form during the soldering process without disturbing solder joints where no bridges or excess solder form. Since the debridging tool is positioned close to the wave soldering station, the latent heat from the soldering process remains in the printed circuit board, and the gas mass is relatively small, the pressurized stream may be kept below the temperature of molten solder. An inert environment around the selective debridging tool and the wave soldering station may be used to reduce the oxidation of the solder and reduce the formation of dross in the solder pot. The main soldering tower of the wave soldering station may have a removable insert with a non-round roller for generating a turbulent wave in the main soldering tower when the insert is installed.

ABST PAL A seam (16) between juxtaposed workpieces (14) is welded or heat-treated by friction-stir using a pin tool (12) driven by an apparatus (18) which controllably positions the pin tool (12) in the vertical direction (8). The workpiece (14) is supported by an anvil (22). The joint is heated by rotation of the pin tool (12) inserted into the joint from the obverse side. In order to provide a good weld through the thickness of the workpiece, a sensor (34, 310) senses electrical characteristics near the heated or welded region, and generates a control signal which tends to control the position of the pin tool near the reverse side of the weld. The sensor is located adjacent the weld (16s) on the obverse side, and is preferably protected by mounting in a depression (22c) in the anvil (22). In one embodiment, the sensor (34) senses magnetic characteristics near the weld. In another embodiment, the sensor (310) senses conduction, conductivity, or eddy currents in the vicinity of the weld.

More specifically, the method includes the steps of solution heat treating first and second structural members at a first predetermined temperature schedule. The first and second structural members are then quenched to a predetermined temperature at which the structural members are in a nonequilibrium state and have an incomplete temper. The first structural member is then positioned adjacent to the second structural member, thereby defining an interface therebetween. Thereafter, the first and second structural members are joined to form a structural assembly by friction stir welding the material along the interface prior to precipitation heat treating the structural assembly. The structural assembly is then aged, such as by precipitation heat treating, at a second predetermined temperature schedule to stabilize the material properties of the resulting structural assembly, thereby completing the temper of the material. The method requires fewer manufacturing steps than conventional techniques for friction stir weld precipitation-hardened parent materials. In addition, the method minimizes the degradation of the material properties during friction stir welding, and produces a structural assembly with improved strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, as well as dimensional quality.

ABST PAL Disclosed is a method of preventing a gold plate connector of a printed circuit board (PCB) from being contaminated during a soldering process. The disclosed method prevents the gold plate connector coupled with the printed circuit board from being contaminated during wave soldering of the printed circuit board after spreading flux over the printed circuit board on which electronic components are mounted, and the method includes the steps of: forming a strip mask in a form of a membrane by solidifying a masking solution after spreading the masking solution capable of being solidified over the gold plate connector of the printed circuit board, performing the spreading of the masking solution before the spreading of the flux; and removing the strip mask from the gold plate connector after performing the wave soldering. As a result, it is not necessary to perform a washing operation of the gold plate connector. The washing operation can be troublesome, time-consuming, and inconvenient. The present invention causes the time required for performing an entire process upon the printed circuit board to be shortened, and productivity and efficiency to be enhanced.

In a method for forming the titanium-steel compound the titanium component is provided with a cylindrical end which has a smaller out-side diameter than an adjacent main portion whose external surface is a first surface to be brazed. The cylindrical steel component is a sleeve whose inside diameter is equal to the outside diameter of the main portion and whose internal surface is a second surface to be brazed. A silver-copper-palladium brazing alloy is placed around the end of the titanium component. The steel sleeve is slipped thereover. The whole is heated in a vacuum or an inert gas until the silver-copper-palladium brazing alloy melts and wets the surfaces to be brazed, and is then allowed to cool down.

LREP FRM Klarquist Sparkman Campbell Leigh & Whinston, LLP ABST PAL A method for joining two elements using a silver-based alloy having a germanium content is described. The method comprises providing two elements to be joined together, at least one of the elements comprising a silver/copper/germanium alloy having a silver content of at least 77% by weight, a germanium content of between 0.4 and 7% by weight, typically from about 0.5% to about 3%, the remainder principally being copper apart from any impurities. The alloy also contains boron as a grain refiner at a concentration of greater than 0 parts per million and less than 20 parts per million, more typically less than about 10 parts per million, with working embodiments including boron in an amount of about 2 parts per million. The two elements are placed adjacent one another such that a portion of a free surface of the silver/copper/germanium alloy contacts a portion of a free surface of the other element without interposing a filler material between the two free surfaces. The two free surfaces are heated where the two elements are adjacent one another to a temperature below that of the solidus temperature of any one of the constituent materials of the elements, thereby joining the two elements by a diffusion process. A silver/germanium alloy also is described having a silver content of at least 77% by weight and a germanium content of between 0.4 and 7% by weight, which alloy contains boron as a grain refiner at a concentration of greater than 0 parts per million and less than 20 parts per million.

ABST PAL An invisible symbol reading apparatus includes a heating unit for heating an invisible symbol formed on a sample and containing a material which emits infrared light when heated, a detecting unit for detecting infrared light emitted from the invisible symbol, and an arithmetic operation unit for binarizing a detection signal from the detecting unit. The arithmetic operation unit calculates a differential coefficient of the detection signal, that corresponds to a position on the sample. On the basis of upper and lower threshold values set for the differential coefficient, the arithmetic operation unit determines a maximum value of the differential coefficient in a region exceeding the upper threshold value and a minimum value of the differential coefficient in a region smaller than the lower threshold value. The arithmetic operation unit binarizes the detection signal by using the maximum or minimum value as a leading or trailing edge of a binary function.

ABST PAL A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines which under the control of a control unit supplies fuel injection valves with fuel from a high-pressure fuel source. The fuel injection valve has an injection valve member, whose opening and closing position is determined by a pressure acting upon the injection valve member set in a control chamber. To perform an injection, the pressure in the control chamber must be relieved, which is accomplished with a control valve that opens two different outflow cross sections of an outflow conduit of the control chamber in succession. It is thus possible to accomplish an adapted opening of a fuel injection valve member for a preinjection and a main injection.

ABST PAL In a door system for a passenger aircraft, a door panel is mounted on an aircraft structure so that it can pivot around at least one pivot axis and the door panel is movably guided at the end of the inward pivoting movement on a lifting movement path that runs essentially in conformance with the aircraft outside contour and runs transversely to the pivoting direction. Interengaging elements on the door frame and door panel are engaged in the completely closed position, moved out of shapewise engagement in an opposite lifting direction at the beginning of the opening process. The lifting movement takes place in a manner which is favorable for installation and is not prone to problems, while retaining an essentially horizontal pivoting movement path relative to the aircraft structure in such fashion that the pivot axis of the door panel is supported on the door frame with tilting position control and at the end of opening lifting movement, moves into essentially vertical alignment relative to the door frame. A door panel locking system is provided which is operated in the closed position of the door panel and, in a non-liftable manner, locks the door panel to the door frame independently of the swivelling and carrying device and of the tilting position control.

To accelerate closing of the valve upon deenergizing the solenoid coil, the coil housing has narrow slots extending in the direction of the magnetic field to reduce the development and flow of eddy currents in the coil housing which retard collapse of the magnetic field and closing of the valve. The slots extend perpendicular to the direction of eddy current flow and thus increase the electrical resistance to current flow through the coil housing in this direction. They also reduce the amount of magnetic material in the coil housing and so reduce the amount of eddy currents created during field collapse.

ABST PAL A hydraulic damper assembly has a barrel-piston assembly and a spring assembly. The barrel-piston assembly has a barrel with a top portion having an open end, and a piston extending through the open end. The piston has a bottom portion that is located inside the barrel. The piston and the barrel also define an annular space in which is a barrel shoulder and a piston shoulder. The barrel shoulder radially extends into the annular space from the barrel top portion. The piston shoulder radially extends into the annular space from the piston bottom portion. The spring assembly is disposed in the annular space between the barrel shoulder and the piston shoulder. When the piston is extended from the barrel, the shoulders compress the spring assembly and, thereby, reduce the amount of force required to compress the piston which enables the damper to be charged to a higher nitrogen pressure. An object of the invention is to provide a damper assembly for aircraft landing gears that permit high nitrogen pressures to increase ground resonance clearance at high aircraft gross weight and not be fully extended at low aircraft gross weights to avoid ground resonance problems. Another object of the invention is to provide a cost effective damper assembly that is easily retrofitted into current designs of helicopter landing gears.

The brush seal includes a plurality of bristles projecting into sealing engagement with the rotating component. The brush seal has a radial clearance in the groove enabling the brush seal for free-floating radial excursions within the groove to maintain concentricity with the rotary component notwithstanding deviation of the axis of rotation of the rotating component relative to the axis of the fixed component. In another form, the brush seal comprises a plurality of arcuate segments having a helical coil spring biasing the segments for radial movement enabling the tips of the bristles to seal against the rotatable component. In a further embodiment, leaf springs bias each segment to maintain its bristles in engagement with the rotatable component. In a still further embodiment, the seal segments are pressure balanced in a radial direction with an O-ring seal sealing high and low pressure regions on opposite sides of the segments.

Significantly, the seal is simple to install and remove because the fuel nozzle does not have to be disassembled or removed from the fuel hose and the seal does not have to be bonded to the seal support. The seal is securely attached to the fuel nozzle without the use of adhesives because the seal is much stiffer than conventional seals, and the seal is mechanically retained in a deep annular groove in the seal support structure. The improved seal includes a body with a first leg, a second leg, a cavity and a projection which is attached to the first leg and it extends at least halfway across the width of the cavity. Desirably, the projection extends about two-thirds of the way across the width of the cavity.

ABST PAL An apparatus comprising a snowboard boot and a binding interface including an interface feature that is adapted to releasably engage with a snowboard binding. The binding interface is movably mounted to the boot so that the boot can flex in a side-to-side direction through an angle relative to the binding interface to provide side-to-side flexibility. In one embodiment, the binding interface is mounted to the boot at a pair of laterally spaced attachment points with a pair of strapless fasteners. In another embodiment, the binding interface is mounted to at least one attachment point and a portion of the boot is flexible between the attachment point and a side. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the interface feature does not protrude below the bottom surface of the boot, and the interface feature does not protrude beyond the sides of the boot. In yet other embodiments, the apparatus includes an adjustment member to adjustably restrict the side-to-side flexibility between the boot and the binding interface, and a dampening element that dampens the side-to-side flexibility. The boot may include an arcuate lower surface that extends across the boot with the binding interface mounted to the boot below the arcuate lower surface. A fluid-filled bladder may be provided to control the side-to-side flexibility of the boot. The binding interface may be slidably mounted to the boot using arcuate surfaces, such as convex and concave surfaces, that allow the boot to slide across the binding interface.

The tongue includes a tongue base having a gas passage or duct; a tongue plate fixed to the tongue base; and a lap belt anchor. The lap belt anchor has an L-like configuration and includes a base and a bracket, which extends perpendicularly from the base and has an opening formed therein. The base is attached pivotally to the tongue plate by a pivot pin. A sheet, made from a low friction material, may be placed between the plate and the base, thus facilitating the pivoting of the tongue. As a result of this arrangement, gas is introduced much more smoothly from a tongue of an inflatable belt device into the inflatable belt. A low pressure gas generator may thus be used.

Deployment of the occupant restraint device is controlled based on the determination by the crash sensor if deployment of the occupant restraint device is required and the position of the occupant. The position of the occupant is determined preferably by ascertaining the position of the seat or a part thereof, e.g., the seat portion or back portion, relative to a fixed point of reference to thereby enable an approximation of the position of the occupant to be obtained. The payout of a seatbelt from a seatbelt retractor can also be measured and used to better provide the actual position of the occupant. An additional approximation of the position of the occupant can be obtained by receiving waves from the space above the seat in order to improve the determination of the likely, actual position of the occupant.

ABST PAL A dual level inflator is provided for creating at least two different rates and levels of air bag inflation while optimizing cost effectiveness, size, safety and performance. The dual level inflator includes a unitized gas generator canister assembly including two canisters of gas generant material connected to a common base and positioned in a chamber formed in an inflator outer housing. The unitized assembly is easily transportable and mountable on the outer housing. Each canister of the unitized assembly includes apertures permitting direct communication between each canister cavity and the chamber of the outer housing. As a result, generant material positioned in each canister is directly exposed to the conditions in the outer housing chamber. The present assembly is advantageous in that it maximizes the internal volume available to the stored gas and, after the ignition of one canister and the inflation of the air bag, the remaining canister may be ignited without reinflating the air bag due to the previous depressurization of the chamber in combination with the selection of a generant material incapable of effectively burning in a low pressure environment, i.e. the directly connected chamber. The present dual inflator also includes seal means to prevent inadvertent ignition, and an arrangement by which the plurality of apertures formed in one canister are positioned relative to the apertures in the other canister to cause the gas flowing from one set of apertures to be sufficiently cooled by the inert gas in the chamber prior to reaching the apertures of the other canister thereby preventing inadvertent thermally induced ignition of the generant material in the remaining unfired canister.

The gas generating apparatus for the air bag apparatus includes a first chamber 9 which accommodates a combustible fluid 7 and which is provided with a first vent opening 8 leading to the air bag 3; a second chamber 5 larger than the first chamber 9; a first occluding member 13 for occluding the first vent opening 8; and an ignition device 14 for igniting the combustible fluid in the first chamber 9. By burning at least a portion of the combustible fluid 7 within the first chamber 9, the fluid in the first and second chambers 9 and 5 is discharged through the first vent opening 8 to inflate the air bag 3. Since, the first occluding member is swiftly broken to discharge a mixture of the combustible fluid in the first chamber, it is possible to shorten the initial responding time period required to start inflating the air bag.

ABST PAL A load limiting device is used with a vehicle seat belt during a crash to allow a limited and controlled forward motion of a vehicle occupant after the retractor has locked. The load limiting device decreases the forces exerted by the seat belt on the vehicle occupant's torso. The load limiting device has a container which defines a flow path for a fluid, with a restriction in the flow path. An actuator is located within the container and is movable within the container under the action of a load transmitted to the seat belt webbing from the vehicle occupant under extreme acceleration conditions, to move the fluid through the restriction in the flow path to dissipate a predetermined portion of the load on the webbing.

ABST PAL A twist-lock connector for adjustably connecting interlocking telescopic tubular members includes a camming surface on the interior surface of a rotatable member which cooperates with the camming member of a seating member attached to a first tubular member. The twist-lock connector is employed by inserting the male end of a second tubular member inside the female end of a first tubular member to which the seating member is attached, and rotating the rotatable member in a first direction until the camming action causes the engaging surface of the seating member to lock by frictionally engaging the outer surface of the second tubular member. Disconnection of the tubular members is effected by reversing the order of the steps for connection. The twist-lock connector also includes an overtightening protection feature. When the rotatable member is rotated in the first direction relative to the seating member by approximately 180.degree., the lock is released, but without breakage of the twist-lock connector. Advantages associated with the twist-lock connector include not only the overtightening protection feature, but both the mechanical integrity of the connection and the ease of operation of the connector, including the ability to easily adjust the axial length of the telescoping tubular members.

A latch is supported on the casing for engagement with the striker for turning movement. A ratchet on the casing is for engagement and disengagement with and from the latch. An open lever is turnable on the casing and receives an operating force for releasing a locking state having the ratchet engaged with the latch. An internal operating-force inputting device transmits to the open lever a door opening operation force depending on the door opening operation within the vehicle. A locked-state switch-over device has an open link connected at one end to the open lever and switches over to an unlocked state to operate the ratchet from the engaged position to the disengaged position in response to the open lever turning, and a locked state inhibiting the ratchet from going to the disengaged position, irrespective of the turning movement of the open lever. The open link extends along a plane perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the ingress passage and, is disposed sideways of the bulged portion on an opposite side from an inlet of the passage.

ABST PAL A passenger compartment for a passenger car has one B-column on each vehicle body side which leads into a side member situated below the B-column for increasing the transverse stiffness of the passenger compartment in the event of side impact loads. A transversely stiffening tube construction is composed of two laterally exterior upright reinforcing tubes and a tube-shaped stiffening element which extends over the width of the vehicle body. In order to achieve a more favorable introduction of force in the event of a side impact load, each upright reinforcing tube is linked to an adjoining connection plate with a lower edge area which is supported on the exterior side of the side member. An inwardly projecting supporting tube leads away from each reinforcing tube above the elevation of the side member. This supporting tube is rigidly connected in the area of the passenger compartment with one of the outer ends of the transversely extending, tube-shaped stiffening element.

The second gear has a plurality of gear teeth that selectively mesh with a plurality of gear teeth on the first gear. The first gear teeth have a non-epicycloide tooth profile and the second gear teeth have an epicycloide tooth profile. An input member defines an axis of rotation and provides rotational input to the second gear. The input member is an eccentric input shaft having a geometric center that is spaced apart from the axis of rotation. This eccentricity causes the second gear teeth to move into engagement with the first gear teeth. When the input shaft is rotated in a first direction, the second gear is caused to rotate in a second direction, opposite from the first direction, resulting in the seat back pivoting with respect to the seat bottom.

A pivot block is pivoted to the mounting block at a main pivot, the pivot block having an upwardly-extending follower. First and second gears are each pivoted to the pivot block, the gears having intermeshing teeth at an inner end such that rotation of the first gear causes the second gear to simultaneously rotate in an opposite direction, the first and second gears further having outer ends. A support plate having pivot/slide members engages the outer ends of the first and second gears, and further has a guide operably engaging the follower to guide lateral movement of the support plate along a predetermined path. The support plate is rotatable about the main pivot to adjust the angular orientation of the armrest construction and is laterally movable along continuously parallel positions to adjust a width of the armrest construction relative to the chair. The armrest construction is mounted on a vertically-adjustable armrest support member for optimal adjustability.

A self-aspirating charge pump is also provided, which is connected at least indirectly to the intake side of the high-pressure pump by an intake line of a supply container for brake fluid and by a pressure line. In the event of an inadequate supply of brake fluid by the charge pump, the pumping of air into the brake circuit (I) is intended to be precluded. To that end, a siphon is disposed in the intake line of the charge pump. Air aspirated by the siphon suddenly prevents pumping by the charge pump. The brake system is intended for use in motor vehicles with slip control or for automatic brakes.

The service station includes a printhead wiper blade having a tip that removes ink residue from the printhead. A dual-direction wiper cleaning system removes liquid components of the ink residue from the wiping tip in two opposing directions. In one direction, the liquid ink residue is pulled away from the wiper tip under capillary forces created by a series of grooves formed on the surface of the wiper blade, while in the opposite direction, the liquid components are absorbed off the tip by a wiper scraper. When the spittoon is collapsed, the wiper resides within a region previously occupied by the spittoon when open.

The printer comprises an ink jet print head adapted to eject a plurality of ink droplets onto a receiver sheet for forming an image that extends a full-width of the receiver sheet. To achieve this result, the print head commences ejection of ink droplets beginning at a predetermined distance from a transverse side of the receiver sheet. A reservoir is disposed adjacent the transverse side and along the predetermined distance for collecting ink droplets ejected along the predetermined distance, so that none of the ink droplets are inadvertently deposited onto the transverse side or onto components housed in the printer. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the reservoir is an absorbent material that absorbs the ink droplets ejected along the predetermined distance. Alternatively, the reservoir can be a drain for collecting the ink droplets ejected along the predetermined distance. As another alternative, the ink droplets are caused to possess an electrostatic charge of a first polarity and the reservoir is caused to possess an electrostatic charge of a second polarity opposite the first polarity, so that the ink droplets ejected along the predetermined distance are preferentially attracted to the reservoir.

Those optics include one or more light receiving elements (62 and 64). The ophthalmoscope also has a centrally positioned camera (14) for detecting an image corresponding to that seen by the user. Light is reflected into the camera objective by means of a reflector (16) which is also centrally positioned on the ophthalmoscope and is situated in substantially the same plane as said elements of the viewing optics, but is laterally spaced therefrom. The central positioning of the camera does not adversely affect the lateral weight distribution of the ophthalmoscope, whilst the provision of a reflector at the same level as the optical elements helps to preserve the congruents between the image detected by the camera and that seen by the user if the condenser lens (used to form the virtual image of the eye under examination) is moved towards or away from the ophthalmoscope.

Using an integrated socket-and-ballast subassembly, the overall height is reduced so that it can find use with existing metal housings. This recessed fixture uses a newly designed energy efficient compact fluorescent lamp as the primary lighting source. This fluorescent lamp, which is a laterally twisted tube commonly referred to as a "springlamp" allows the shortest lamp known to the fluorescent lamp industry. It provides for minimal light trapping, thereby creating the maximum concentrated lighting output, and lighting distribution that is closest to the illumination supplied by an incandescent bulb. The laterally twisted "SpringLamp" is centrally positioned at the focal point of the parabolically shaped portion of the reflector to produce a collimated-like downlighted column of concentrated light that enhances the illumination efficiency when measured at the central portion of the beam.

A weight scale connected to the material is sampled and the samples input to a digital processor. The digital processor determines for consecutive time intervals during discharge of said material, a weight loss over the time interval. The weight loss for the interval is compared with a desired weight loss which is calculated from a desired setpoint material discharge rate obtained only when the weight loss is constant and stable. The resulting error is averaged with subsequent errors to form a control signal for the material feeder. The calculation of errors over each subsequent interval increases the resolution of the control signal, increasing the ability to control discharge rates to compensate for changes in material density which otherwise affect discharge rates.

ABST PAL A mechanical proportioner is provided with two pump lowers which are connected together by a yolk underneath an air-operated reciprocating piston pump. The pumps are staggered axially so as to enable overlapping of certain portions thereof thereby enabling the center-to-center distance to be minimized. The mix manifold is constructed in a concentric fashion such that mixed material does not come into contact with the mix manifold until it enters the static mixer at the exit of the manifold which is an easily disposable and replaceable part. The purge solvent valves on the mix manifold are each provided with an extension of their respective handles. If either purge valve is in its open position, a separate interlock handle operating the A and B side valves at the manifold inlet is prevented from opening. Similarly, if the interlock handle operating the A and B side valves is open, the purge valves cannot be opened.

LREP FRM Flehr Hohbach Test Albritton & Herbert LLP ABST PAL A system and method are disclosed for optically measuring the temperature of a packaged integrated circuit (IC). A light beam is focused inside the IC package onto a region of the integrated circuit whose temperature is to be measured. The through-substrate reflectivity of the IC, which is a function of temperature and material characteristics (e.g., doping) of the region, determines how much of the incident light is reflected to a photo-detector. The photo-detector measures the intensity of the reflected light and generates a corresponding through-substrate reflectivity signal R. The reflectivity signal R is correlated with transmission curves for that region or materials with similar characteristics and the temperature of the region determined therefrom. Confocal techniques can be applied to substantially reduce measurement signal noise due to light reflected from the IC package which interferes with the light reflected from the IC. Measurements can be made at one specific position within the IC or a temperature map can be produced for the entire IC. Because different IC layers with different material characteristics have different transmission properties at the same temperature, the temperature measurement of a multi-layer region can be localized to a particular layer by selecting a measurement wavelength at which that region's transmission properties are most sensitive to temperature variations.

ABST PAL An alignment adapter for use with a multi-fiber, optical connector that is in the form of a substantially planar slab having a central opening for receiving a connector therethrough. The slab includes a pair of alignment apertures on opposing sides of the central opening that are positioned in a defined spatial relationship with the fibers held in the multi-fiber connector. According to an aspect of the invention, the alignment adapter includes a pair of alignment rods held in the alignment apertures that are used to convert an optical connector into a male type connector. According to another aspect of the present invention, a connector is disclosed having a plurality of channels for holding optical fibers and a pair of alignment apertures positioned adjacent to the fiber holding channels in a defined spatial relationship. When the connector is received through the central opening of the alignment adapter, the alignment apertures of the alignment adapter precisely register with the alignment apertures formed in the connector. The precision with which the alignment apertures of the alignment adapter register with the alignment apertures in the connector is a result of a process that involves etching a monocrystalline material, typically silicon, to form a plurality of parallel fiber grooves and a pair of alignment grooves. Using this etched material as a template, an inverse replica is created that is separated into two parts. One part is used as a pattern for making the alignment adapter members, the other part is used as a pattern for making the connector members.

LREP FR2 Alden; Philip G. ABST PAL A method and apparatus of aligning a collimator assembly requiring only a single-axis adjustment and for which the collimator may be paired with any other similarly aligned collimator. A collimator typically includes a fiber grasped by a ferrule. Both the ferrule and a graded-index (GRIN) lens are eventually bonded to the inside of a glass tube with the fiber/lens distance fixed for optimum collimator performance. According to one method of practicing the invention, the tube/lens assembly is fixed, and the ferrule/fiber is slidably inserted into the tube. The position of the ferrule/fiber is adjusted within the tube while the size of the resultant beam is measured at a fixed distance from the output from the lens. If there are two such positions producing the optimum beam size, the position of less separation between the ferrule and fiber is chosen. The collimators aligned by the invention may be freely paired with each other (for example, within a sleeve or housing also containing an optical element located between the two collimators). An optimum beam size and optimum measuring distance may be established by an optical calculation or other optimization technique dictated for the intended use of the collimator.

Drive means (11a, 11b; 26a, 26b) transport the donor ribbon and receiver sheet through the engine during printing independently from the drive means of the other engine. A printhead (3) has a row of heaters extending across both engines, with a first set (3a) of heaters positioned to operate with the first engine (1a) and a second set (3b) of heaters positioned to operate with the second engine (1b). Control means coordinate activation of the engines selectively with application of the image signal to the heater set which is operable with that selected engine. Both engines can be operated independently, enabling the printer to be set up for independent or dual printing.

Because of its small size and portability, the case keyboard is very practical for providing instructions to electronic instruments that are small in themselves, enabling both devices to be easily transported. The electronic instrument could be a personal digital assistant (PDA), small computer, calculator, telephone, or other portable machines. The first embodiment of the case keyboard has a standard set of keys on a substrate. The second embodiment uses a touch-pad switch to multiplex the character designation of a small set of keys and a gently motion of the thumb. The multiplexing reduces the number of keys while still providing designation of about 160 characters. Shorter finger-motions reduce the probability of repetitive stress injuries. A third embodiment incorporates the entire instrument into a case keyboard with a pop-up viewing screen flexibly attached.

ABST PAL The pliable, readily flattenable loop binder for retaining loose-leaf sheets has a mounting strip with an elongated spine, an adhesive on the back of the spine, and a removable liner over the adhesive. Paired transversely aligned loop-forming elements project outward from opposing longitudinal edges of the spine. Off one edge are pliable and readily bendable straps. Off the other edge are strap receivers. The strap of a pair is threaded through a punched hole of punched paper and drawn over the spine and then threaded through its receiver so that the back surface of the strap faces the back surface of the receiver. Each loop formed by a pair of loop-forming elements is teardrop in contour and is flattenable toward the front surface of the spine with a single folded bend in said strap. Locking structures on straps engage the receivers to resist shifting of straps in their receivers. Spacers are used to space the loop binder from and align it parallel to the dominant crease or fold of an ordinary folder when converting the folder to a loop binder folder.

The high density slurry or paste is produced from a mill tailings mixture in a silo which includes a percolation and decant apparatuses for percolating water out of the mill tailings mixture and for decanting clarified water from atop the settled tailings. While settling occurs, air is introduced from the bottom of the silo to agitate the mixture to ensure substantially homogeneous settlement of the solids. Once settled, the resultant high density slurry or paste is fluidized by air in order to give the paste more readily flowable characteristics.

OCL 409132 OREF PAL SME Technical Paper EM91-232 "Bismaleimide Tooling for 350.degree. F. Application" by Robert Vale dated Jun. 3, 1991. LREP FR2 Hammar; John C. ABST PAL A hybrid tool serves as a form on which constituent materials are applied for bonding or curing into a part in a desired configuration. It also serves as a holder for the bonded or cured materials in the originally applied position during subsequent machining. The hybrid tool is made by fabricating a face sheet of composite material having a facing surface configured to the reverse of a desired shape of one surface of a part to be made on the tool. The actual part will be laid up on the facing surface, cured while on the tool, and even trimmed before release. Base structure of the tool holds the facing surface of the face sheet in the desired shape, and includes ground-engaging pads that define an "A" datum plane. The tool aligns a reference plane of the face sheet parallel to the datum plane. A substantially continuous groove in the face sheet, used for trimming the part, opens in the facing surface. Edge trimming of the part on the tool is performed using a CNC machine tool following a part program to move a cutter extending into the groove to engage the full thickness of the part. The groove corresponds in space to the position represented by the cutter path of travel in the part program because of the accurate spatial relationship of the face sheet reference plane and the datum plane. One embodiment of the invention includes filling the groove in the facing surface with a foaming, self-skinning sacrificial material and covering the facing surface of the tool with a caul sheet. The tool is heated to cure the foaming material, which fills the groove and forms a hard, smooth surface skin, flush with the facing surface of the tool to support the part during lay up. A series of skin plies are laid-up to form a tool-side skin, and other components of the part are laid-up on the tool-side skin. A vacuum bag is sealed to peripheral regions of the facing surface of the tool around the laid-up skin and components. An adhesive/resin matrix in the skin and components is bonded/cured in the conventional manner within the vacuum bag to produce a rigid integral assembly. The vacuum bag is removed, uncovering the rigid integral assembly for trimming. A cutter of a machine tool is guided on a predetermined path around the facing surface of the tool, running in the foam-filled groove below the facing surface of the tool and cutting a peripheral edge around the rigid integral assembly. After trimming, the rigid integral assembly is removed from the facing surface of the tool.

One exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises a base member having rods extending substantially vertically therefrom. Adjustable side connectors are coupled to the base member at one or both sides of the base member in order to secure the base member to the side walls of the flat bed. A slide bar is adjustably displaced along the length of the rods to adapt to loads of varying height. The slide bar serves to secure and to stabilize the load. A fastener directs the slide bar against the load and toward the base member. Thus, the slide bar acts in a clamp-like manner to secure a load within the flat bed area of a vehicle. The present invention further comprises extension elements which enable the side connectors to be engaged to the sidewalls of the flat bed at varying heights depending on the construction of the vehicle. A lower end of each extension element is secured to the end of the base member and the side connectors couple with an upper end of the extension element at one or more locations so that the base member may engage the sidewalls of the flat bed at varying heights. In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a system is disclosed including a double base member and slide bar arrangement which form a dual clamp assembly. This system is implemented by placing a pair base member/slide bar assemblies on the flat bed of a truck at a given distance apart to accommodate for the length of a load. The double assembly acts to secure both ends of a load, such as lumber. When used in this manner, the invention prevents a load from shifting while the vehicle is in motion.

The containers are provided with partitions defining tray-receiving compartments in a predetermined distribution, and the trays are assembled into groups wherein the trays are arrayed in such a way that they can be pushed, as a unit, into an empty container whereby each tray of the array enters a discrete compartment. Analogously, a set of mobile suction-operated devices is used to simultaneously withdraw an entire group of arrayed trays from the compartments of a filled container. The introduction of groups of filled or empty trays into containers can take place at a first level, and the evacuation of groups of filled or empty trays from filled containers can take place at a different second level. The second level can receive filled trays from a tray filling unit and the first level can serve for delivery of empty trays to the tray filling unit. Containers with groups of filled trays can be transported to a cigarette packing machine and containers with empty trays can be delivered from the packing machine.

In this type of machine, the two frames are normally pinned together and the front frame is articulated with respect to the rear frame by a pair of steering cylinders to provide steering for the machine. In order to provide the required structural support for the components of the work implement and to accommodate the steering forces, the front frame is necessarily quite large. The present invention provides a front frame (12) structure that includes a pair of main side plates (62, 64) that are positioned a preselected distance (W) from one another and mount a lift arm assembly (30) therebetween to minimize the overall width of the frame assembly. The forward end portion of the front frame assembly (12) has a preselected height (H) that permits the front frame to have a low profile. These features provide a frame assembly that allows an operator exceptional visibility to the work implement (42).

ABST PAL When operating a work vehicle such as a backhoe or wheel loader, it is frequently desirable to utilize auxiliary work equipment with the vehicle such as a pallet fork and a loading bucket. In the course of such operation, it is generally necessary to move the vehicle from one site to another, which requires movement of the auxiliary work equipment as well as the vehicle. The present invention provides a convenient coupling system for securely attaching a second work implement, such as a loading bucket, to a first work implement, such as pallet forks, for transportation purposes so that the connected auxiliary work equipment can be readily transported by the work vehicle from site to site, which is especially important when moving the vehicle over uneven and rough ground or surfaces.

In one form, a groove in the rotor has an insert in frictional contact with the brush seal. The non-uniform distribution of heat due to frictional contact between the brush seal and proud portions of the rotor is dissipated within the insert such that adjoining rotor portions are substantially uniformly heated without causing thermal bow. In a further form, a groove or grooves are provided in the rotor surface adjacent to the brush seal and maintain non-uniform heat distribution locally in the rotor without causing thermal bow of the rotor. In another form, a land projects radially outwardly of the rotor surface in contact with the brush seal. The non-uniform distribution of heat due to frictional contact between proud portions of the land and the brush seal dissipates into a uniform distribution of heat in the rotor proper to avoid thermal bowing.

The duct (10), via a plurality of bores (9) made in the blade leading edge, communicates with a main duct (3), through which the cooling medium flows longitudinally, and the flow through the duct (10) occurs longitudinally over the blade height, and the duct (10) is formed with a variable cross section. The cross section of the duct (10) increases continuously in the direction of flow of the cooling medium from the blade root up to the blade tip. In the case of blades having a cover plate (11), the duct (10) merges at its top end into a chamber (12), which is mounted below the cover plate and is in operative connection with a pressure source, the pressure of which is lower than the pressure in the main duct.

In order to provide a piston pump which can be cleaned more easily and which includes the smallest possible number of dead spots, a first teaching according to the present invention suggests that, when closed, the inlet valve should be located nearer to the working space than when it is open. Alternatively, the underlying technical problem is solved according to a second solution of the present invention by the feature that the valve surface of the inlet and/or outlet valve(s) facing the working space merges without any steps with the inner surface of said working space at the closed position of the valve or of each valve.

LREP FRM Oblon, Spivak, McClelland, Maier & Neustadt, P.C. ABST PAL The invention relates to a scroll-type compressor which will not exert an undesirable influence on a power source of a rotation shaft, even if seizing occurs between an orbiting scroll member and a fixed scroll member. A power transmission mechanism P is provided between a rotation shaft 7 and an eccentric drive pin 25 for transmitting power to an orbiting scroll member 14. An inner wall of a bore of a closed ended cylindrical member 40 with an eccentric drive pin 25 protruding from a base end thereof is formed in the height direction of the cylinder with a plurality of grooves 44 of semi-circular cross-section. Moreover, a cylindrical resilient roller 43 is centrally provided on the closed end with a height approximately the same as that of the closed ended cylindrical member 40. Rollers 42 are provided so as to be inscribed in each groove 44 and so as to come into contact with an outer peripheral surface of the resilient roller 43. Projections 41 provided on the rotation shaft 7 are insertingly fitted so as to fill the spaces between the rollers 42.

A tip member extends axially from the screw. The tip member has radially extending upstream and downstream flanges positioned axially apart from each other. A filter encircles the tip member and is capable of filtering the molten polymer. An annular ring member encircles the tip member and is slidably positioned within the bore between the upstream and downstream flanges. The ring member is capable of sliding between the flanges for directing the molten polymer through the filter or preventing back flow of the molten polymer past the upstream flange. An end stop is positioned relative to the bore and is capable of engaging and preventing movement of the ring member past the end stop while allowing the downstream flange of the tip member to be translated forwardly therepast to simultaneously space the upstream and downstream flanges apart from the ring member. This directs the molten polymer past upstream surfaces of the filter for purging contaminants filtered from the molten polymer.

D-13 for Dec. 1995 Price List published by PCS Company, Fraser, MI, Dec. 1995, admitted to show prior art baffle. LREP FR2 Dybvig; Roger S. ABST PAL A mold insert for an injection molding machine has a circumferential liquid conduit groove and a plurality of liquid-receiving bores extending inwardly from the groove. Baffles are removably inserted into the liquid-receiving bores and have heads located in locking engagement with the sidewalls, including the undercut portions thereof, to retain the baffles in their respective liquid-receiving bores. Each baffle has a blade that fits snugly within a liquid-receiving bore to separate the liquid-receiving bore into a liquid inlet passageway and a liquid outlet passageway. Fins project outwardly from opposite faces of the blade to create turbulence in liquid flowing into and out of the liquid-receiving bore, which enhances cooling (or heating) of the mold insert. The baffle is also useful with other solid components having a liquid conduit for cooling purposes and a transverse liquid-receiving bore intersecting the liquid conduit. An improved liquid barrier for use in preventing the flow of liquid in the liquid conduit groove is formed by a dam member substantially identical to the head of a baffle.

ABST PAL An ignition system for a gas appliance comprises an ignitor for igniting gas, a gas valve which controls the flow of gas to the ignitor, and a delay switch which delays the opening of the gas valve. The delay switch comprises a piston and a cylinder which define a chamber. The piston moves between a first position and a second position in the cylinder. The piston is coupled to the gas valve such that when the piston reaches the second position, the gas valve is opened. The chamber includes a large aperture and a small aperture which influence the rate at which the piston moves. The large aperture includes a sealing member which seals the large aperture when the piston moves from the first position to the second position to resist the motion of the piston. The large aperture is opened when the piston moves in the other direction. The delay switch is connected to the ignitor such that when the ignitor is turned on, the piston moves against air resistance and delays the opening of the gas valve. When the ignitor is turned off, the piston moves quickly in the other direction to deactivate the gas valve.

Combustion air flows into the lower chamber, thence upwardly toward the combustion chamber. Vanes are provided in the lower chamber, to impart a rotational movement to the air as it rises toward the combustion chamber. Nozzles are located toward the bottom of the combustion chamber for injecting the fuel, in the form of gas, into the combustion chamber so as to cause the injected gas to rotate oppositely to the air rotation, in order to provide substantial turbulence and mixing. The injection direction of the gas also lies substantially parallel with a hypothetical plane transverse to the axis of the cyclonic movement of air, thus avoiding an axial component in the injection direction of the gas, and therefore minimizing the expulsion of gas, air and combustion products from the combustion chamber.

ABST PAL An insert for generic or custom preadjusted edgewise brackets. The device is formed of metallic material or synthetic material, or resilient elastomeric material. The device will capture and retain the orthodontic archwire into the archwire slot of the orthodontic edgewise bracket. The device includes a region aligned with the archwire slot in the edgewise bracket to position, but not frictionally interfere with the archwire, because it does not put pressure on the archwire, but creates a tunnel for the archwire to easily slide through. The crescent shaped horizontal anchors defined on the device cooperate with the underside of the tiewings on the edgewise bracket to maintain the device in position. The crescent shape provides room for other ancillary devices to be placed on the bracket and secured behind the tiewings when the device is in place. The laterally extending wings covering and extending beyond the archwire slot also provide increased rotational control of the teeth, and act as a sheath over the archwire so that ancillary devices when placed on the bracket will not create friction. The device is placed on the edgewise brackets or removed at the discretion of the dental practitioner.

The method includes placing the canvas atop an image to be reproduced and tracing outline and highlight colors from the image onto the front side of the canvas. The canvas is then turned over and field colors and background colors are applied to the back side of the canvas. As a final step, a clear coating can be applied to the front side of the canvas. The result is a surprisingly vivid and life-like rendering of the image when the canvas is viewed from its front side. The rendering results from the combination of outlines and highlights on the front of the canvas and field and background colors visible through the canvas from the back side thereof, all enhanced by the clear coating.

The lifting lugs may attach to an upper surface of the engine, a portion of the flywheel or a drive unit of a high pressure fuel pump. The lifting lugs may also be positioned in dead space such as that between cylinder banks of a v-type engine. Moreover, the lifting lugs may be removable or pivotable to reduce the protrusion of the lifting jugs from the engine when the outboard motor is in use.

This can be counteracted by distributing the injection over more areas or spots in order to achieve a more rapid and effective transfer of heat from the surroundings for making sure that the inflation can take place in a desirably rapid manner. Conventionally this implies that the structure exhibits exposed connector hoses to the different injection spots, these hoses causing trouble in use of the structure. With the invention it has been recognized that the relevant distribution system may be arranged in the interior of the structure, whereby these troublesome exterior hoses can be entirely avoided.

ABST PAL Polishing chucks, semiconductor wafer polishing chucks, abrading methods, polishing methods, semiconductor wafer polishing methods, and methods of forming polishing chucks are described. In one embodiment, a polishing chuck includes a body dimensioned to hold a work piece, and a multi-positionable, force-bearing engagement surface is positioned on the body to engage at least a portion of a work piece held thereby. The surface has an undeflected position, and is bi-directionally deflectable away from the undeflected position. In another embodiment, a yieldable engagement surface is provided on the body and has a central area and a peripheral area outward of the central area. One of the central and peripheral areas is movable, relative to the other of the areas to provide both inwardly and outwardly flexed surface configurations. In yet another embodiment, a generally planar surface is provided on the body and positioned to receive the work piece thereagainst. The surface is movable into a non-planar, force-varying configuration in which more force is exerted on outermost portions of a work piece during polishing than on innermost portions of a work piece. A deflector is operably connected with the surface and configured to move the surface into the non-planar configuration. In a preferred embodiment, a force-varying deflector on the body is configured and operable to move the body surface into both concave and convex force-varying configurations.

ABST PAL The invention entails a defeathering cylinder having a plurality of fingers extending radially from its curved surface. The cylinder is mounted on a shaft positioned along the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder is rotatably mounted to an enclosure having a top, a bottom, a front wall, a back wall opposite the front wall, and sides connecting the front wall to the back wall. The front wall of the enclosure contains a cylinder opening. The back wall contains a plurality of apertures sized to substantially inhibit the passage of feathers. A power source such as an electric motor is functionally connected to the shaft on which the cylinder is mounted. Operation of the motor causes the shaft and the cylinder to revolve within the cylinder opening. The revolution of the fingers extending from the cylinder causes air to flow into the cylinder opening and out the apertures. When a bird is placed in contact with the revolving fingers, the feathers will be removed and drawn into the enclosure and toward the back wall. Once inside the enclosure, the direction of air flow will prevent the feathers from exiting the enclosure though the cylinder opening.

The device has an open frame whose sides may be covered with removable air filtration media and which forms a primary interior having a lower aperture and normally an upper aperture. An open-sided grille below the lower aperture forms a secondary space. A fan is mounted within the primary space and turns blades within the lower aperture and a disk at the bottom of the secondary space. An annular plate surrounding the fan housing blocks downward flow of incoming air and forces the air to flow radially outwardly around the edge of the plate, thus also insuring good mixing with the incoming ceiling air. The rotating disk receives air blown downwardly through the lower aperture and redirects it radially outwardly through the openings in the side of the grille, such that airflow becomes horizontal and parallel to the ceiling, so that the air flow slows and the air becomes gradually dispersed throughout the entire room. The device can also be mounted over a through-wall air duct outlet by using a duct extension.

The dispensed amount may be determined by, for example, receiving signals from one or more key presses that specify the dispensed amount. Alternatively, the dispensed amount may be determined in accordance with one or more "balance management rules". The gaming device in turn dispenses the dispensed amount, for example, by dispensing an amount of currency, transferring the dispensed amount to an account or adjusting a balance of a remote gaming device. The balance is adjusted by the dispensed amount, and this adjusted balance is available for initiating a subsequent play of the gaming device.

LREP FRM Skjerven Morrill MacPherson LLP FR2 Ogonowsky; Brian D. ABST PAL A system of linked gaming machines has each of the linked gaming machines connected to a common controller. In a normal mode of play, each of the linked gaming machines operates like a conventional machine where the generation of certain combinations of symbols provide awards to the individual players whose machines generate such combinations. In addition to this normal mode of play, a bonus feature is added where the generation of combinations of bonus symbols is used by a central controller to build up a pooled bonus value based upon the values of the combinations of bonus symbols generated by all the linked gaming machines. When a player hits a combination which causes the accumulated bonus value to meet or exceed a predetermined value, a bonus award is given to the player which caused the threshold to be exceeded.

These mutually independent programs are run in parallel. The speed at which the program advances differs for each character. A character representing the player is endowed with the highest speed of advance, and this character is given the highest priority in parallel processing as well. Interaction among characters is realized by communication among the programs, and an order of priority is assigned to communication among programs. As a result, the game is provided with a greater sense of surprise and the program game is easier to create.

ABST PAL A clutch for a two-mass flywheel of an internal combustion engine includes a first half-coupling and a second-half coupling. Both half-couplings are, within the bounds provided, torsionally twistable relative to the other. The half-couplings are connected to each other through elastic clutch elements. Side-disks form an inner, leakproof compartment containing a center disk. In the radially outer regions of the compartment resides at least one displacement chamber that is capable of being filled and which has a throttle orifice. The displacement chamber is bound circumferentially by two first tappets which are part of one half-coupling, as well as by a second tappet which is part of the other half-coupling. The second tappet divides the displacement chamber into two sectional chambers. At least one of the tappets includes a stationary tappet piece and a movable tappet piece which is movable in circumferential direction and delimits the respective partial chamber. The tappet piece which is movable in circumferential direction pushes against the force of a spring. The area between the two tappet pieces forms a third damping chamber.
