Title: Savons produits a partir d'acides gras a base d'huile de colza laurique
Inventor: BASU HEMENDRA
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 1997-01-17
Granted: 2001-10-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions de savon préparées à base d'huile de colza laurique saponifiée. Ces huiles ressemblent aux huiles de colza traditionnelles, à la différence qu'elles présentent des taux d'acide laurique et d'acide myristique en poids supérieurs aux pourcentages en poids de ces mêmes acides gras présents dans l'huile de colza traditionnelle. Les huiles de colza laurique sont produites, de préférence, in vivo, par des plantes modifiées génétiquement. Ces plantes donnent des graines qui accumulent, de préférence, les huiles avec 12:0 d'acides gras. Ces huiles de colza laurique sont utilisées comme huiles de substitution ou remplacement des huiles de noix de coco dans la fabrication des savons. Les compositions de savon ainsi obtenues présentent des caractéristiques de moussage et de douceur améliorées par rapport aux savons fabriqués à partir de l'huile de noix de coco.

Title: Off-line teaching method
Inventor: AOKI SHINJI
IPC: G05B19/42
Filed: 1998-06-26
Granted: 2002-12-10
Abstract: Disclosed is an off-line teaching method for correcting a robot model to be used in an off-line teaching system.          Multi-point multi-attitude teaching capable of obtaining the best correcting calculation result of those obtained with a logical robot model as a correction objective is performed by using an off-line teaching apparatus (steps S1 to S5).          Teaching data obtained in the steps S1 to S5 is downloaded from the off-line teaching apparatus to an actual robot as a correction objective (step S6).  Subsequently, the teaching data is revised on the basis of a difference between an actual target point and an operation point of the actual robot based on the teaching data (step S7). After that, teaching data obtained after the revision is uploaded to the off-line teaching apparatus (step S8) to estimate and calculate a correction amount by using the uploaded data (step S9).  Accordingly, it is possible to stably obtain teaching data usable to accurately estimate the correction amount, and it is possible to decrease the number of working steps based on the use of the actual robot.

Title: Automated measurements and visualization system
Inventor: CORBY NELSON RAYMOND JR
IPC: G01B5/14
Filed: 1999-03-18
Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: Graphical representations of a machine structure desired to be measured are pre-stored in a video storage device. A user selects dimensions of the machine to be measured through a manual input device. The preferred viewpoints for this measurement are determined by a image creation device. These viewpoints are provided to video storage device to create an image of the machine structure showing the dimension to be measured. An instructional video overlay device receives an indication from the manual input device of the dimension to be measured. It then provides a graphical overlay of a preferred tool to be used and shows its preferred positioning and use on the machine image from image creation device. These are merged by a video merge device and displayed to a user on a display device. The users then selects the tool, positions, and uses it as instructed. When activated by the user, the tool directly provides measurement information to a control device which stores the information, reducing human error. In an alternative embodiment, audio instruction may be added and synchronized with the video instruction.

Inventor: JENKINS DAVID
IPC: B60Q1/26
Filed: 1998-08-07
Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: A system for redirecting and/or redistributing light from one or more light sources to provide lighting design flexibility and to accommodate lighting packaging restrictions. The system employs a unit cell approach whereby one or more light sources, preferably light-emitting diodes, are coupled with an optics structure. A  plurality of unit cells, which may be of either a lensing or light pipe variety, can be coupled in a variety of arrangements to achieve the desired light distribution and intensity patterns. The lensing unit cells employ a lensing structure whereby light incident upon the unit cell is transmitted directly therethrough, typically after having been reconditioned in some fashion. Light pipe unit cells include a light transmitting structure that redirects and redistributes light incident thereupon, typically by employing light coupling optics and redirecting facets formed on a surface of the structure. The system is particularly advantageously adapted to vehicle signal lamp applications.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de produire de l'orthohydrogène et/ou du parahydrogène. Ce dispositif comprend un récipient contenant de l'eau et au moins une paire d'électrodes faiblement espacée disposées dans le récipient et immergées dans l'eau. Une première source d'énergie envoie aux électrodes un premier signal pulsé spécifique. Si on désire également produire du parahydrogène on peut un enroulement dans le récipient de façon à l'immerger dans l'eau. Lorsqu'on déconnecte la seconde source d'énergie de l'enroulement au moyen du commutateur et que seules les électrodes reçoivent un signal pulsé, on produit de l'orthohydrogène. Lorsqu'on connecte la seconde source d'énergie à l'enroulement et que les électrodes et la bobine reçoivent tous deux des signaux pulsés, les premiers et les seconde signaux pulsés peuvent être réglés de manière à produire du parahydrogène. Le récipient est auto-pressurisé et l'eau contenue dans le récipient ne nécessite pas de catalyseur chimique pour produire efficacement de l'orthohydrogène et/ou du parahydrogène. Ce procédé ne s'accompagne ni de production de chaleur ni de formation de bulles sur les électrodes.
