Title: Process and apparatus for the electrogalvanic coating of metal items
Inventor: LANDO WALTER
IPC: C25D19/00
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: In a process for the electrogalvanic coating of metal items through a sequence of chemical or electrochemical treatment phases, each of said treatment phases includes the following steps: a) introducing the drum containing the items into a centrifuge; b) delivering a first chemical treatment liquid to the centrifuge; c) carrying out the treatment; d) draining said first chemical treatment liquid from the centrifuge; e) carrying out a centrifugation of the items to recover said liquid; f) delivering washing water to the centrifuge;  g) carrying out the washing; h) draining the washing water from the centrifuge; i) carrying out a centrifugation of the items to recover said water; j) transferring the drum to another station, or repeating the preceding steps with another chemical treatment liquid. Carrying out the washing subsequent to a chemical treatment phase in the same station where the treatment has been carried out allows to significantly reduce the number of stations, moreover the centrifugation subsequent to every treatment or washing allows to recover the liquids thus reducing the consumption thereof, as well as to prevent the problems of liquid carry-over from one station to another, which also prevents the environmental pollution. A plant that embodies said process consists of a sequence of aligned stations (A), with an automatic loading station at the inlet and an automatic unloading station at the outlet, in which the items to be treated are contained in perforated cylindrical drums (D) open at the top that are automatically moved from one station to another by means of carriages (C) that run on rails (B) extending above the stations along the whole length of the plant. The use of open drums (D), instead of the conventional barrels closed by a door, allows to carry out in a completely automatic way the loading and unloading of the items in the plant end stations with a great saving of labour force as well as with no risks to the health of the operators.

Abstract: A modified Family (11) xylanase enzyme comprising a sequence that introduces a functional consensus glycosylation site is provided. Non-limiting examples of introduced glycosylation sites include mutation of the amino acid at position (34, 131, 180, 182), or a combination thereof, to an asparagine.

Title: Procede et appareil d'ajustement dynamique des parametres de transmission des donnees et de commande de processus h-arq
Inventor: TERRY STEPHEN E
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2005-06-03
Abstract: Dans un système de communication sans fil comprenant une unité d'émission/réception sans fil (WTRU) qui transfère des données à un noeud B, les paramètres de transmission de données tels que le schéma de modulation et de codage (MCS) et la taille d'un ensemble bloc de transport (TBS) sont dynamiquement ajustés sur une base d'intervalle de temps de transmission (TTI) et les processus de requête de répétition automatique hybride (H-ARQ) utilisés pour commander le transfert de données entre le WTRU et le noeud B sont initiés et abandonnés, en fonction des besoins. Le WTRU envoie et retransmet les données au noeud B par le biais d'une voie spécialisée de liaison montante améliorée (EU) (E-DCH) en fonction des informations de récupération des données reçues en provenance du noeud B. Le WTRU place les données en files d'attente pour qu'elles soient transmises et détermine un état de transmission des données. L'état de transmission des données est déterminé comme étant une 'nouvelle transmission'', une 'transmission réussie'', une 'retransmission'' et une 'transmission recommencée''. Pour chaque TTI, le WTRU initie une transmission EU vers le noeud B qui identifie le processus H-ARQ assigné, la taille TBS et le MCS.

Title: Surface effect craft with lift control member
Inventor: MURPHY DAVID
IPC: B63B1/12
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a surface effect craft comprising a supporting deck structure having two pontoons mounted thereto in catamaran like fashion. A propulsion mechanism is mounted to a rear portion of the deck structure. A lift control member is disposed under the deck structure between the two pontoons. The lift control member is pivotally movable mounted to the front portion of the deck structure. A lift adjust mechanism pivotally moves the lift control member between a first position with the rear end of the lift control member being in close proximity to the surface and a second position with the rear end of the lift control member being in close proximity to the deck structure. Employment of the lift control member enables the craft to achieve surface effect at low speed and, furthermore, allows control of the aerodynamic lift in a wide range from maximum lift to negative lift. This substantially widens the range of surface conditions and speed the craft is operable, such as uneven ground, choppy water surfaces, snow, and ice.

Abstract: A rectangular container and cover are disclosed. The container and cover have complimentary latching feature. An inner cover skirt is offset inward toward the cover interior at each corner. The offset is sufficient to permit use of a moveable mold tooling to form each of the corners of the cover. This allows full formation of latching hooks extending around the entire interior of the skirt, such that when the cover is placed on the container the cover latching hooks engage with container latching ribs to secure the cover on the container. A tear strip is also disclosed, the removal of which leaves residual flaps at each sidewall intersection and at about the lateral center of each sidewall. A portion of the cover skirt remains affixed to the container when the tear strip is removed.
