Title: Bubble maker.
Inventor: MESSINA GENE
IPC: A63H33/28
Filed: 1992-04-30
Abstract: A bubble maker comprises a support and a pair of separate bands connected to the support at first and second spaced-apart positions. The bands are adapted to extend substantially parallel and near to each other and also to flexed and stretched so as to form a gap of substantial size between the bands. A dispenser mounted on the support dispenses a bubble-forming solution near the first position, and a collector mounted on the support collects excess solution near the second position. Drawstrings mounted on the support engage the elastic bands at positions intermediate the first and second positions for separating the bands. A pump pumps solution from the collector to the dispenser. Accordingly, when the support is oriented with the first position above the second and solution is dispensed onto the bands, the bands are separated by the drawstrings, and a gentle air current is established relative to the bubble maker so that air passes between the separated bands, a portion of the solution forms a bubble and excess solution flows down to and is collected by the collector, from which it can be recirculated to the dispenser by the pump.

Title: Apparatus and methods for cutting soil and in situ construction of subsurface containment barriers.
Inventor: CARTER ERNEST E JR
IPC: E02F5/10
Filed: 1992-06-22
Abstract: An apparatus for cutting soil and constructing containment barriers, such as for constructing a subsurface containment walls or bassins for contaminated material, comprises a beam (4) pivoted to a support (6) on the surface for abutting an extended length of soil (2a). The beam (4) comprises a cutting means for creating a cutting action against the extended length of abutting soil. The cutting means is preferably a conduit containing a plurality of jet ports through which high pressure fluid is ejected to impact the soil to be cut. The conduit is preferably rapidly reciprocated. As cutting occurs, the beam (4) and the conduit pivot relative to the support to maintain the cutting apparatus adjacent the face of the soil (2a) to be cut. If the support is mobile, it can advance the cutting action by pulling the beam and conduit beyond the sector through which the beam (4) and conduit can pivot. A method of cutting soil comprises generating cutting action along an extended locus of soil, and advancing the cutting action along a descending locus of the soil (2a) in response to gravity.

Abstract: Genetically engineered cells are provided which can serve as universal donor cells in such applications as reconstruction of vascular linings or the administration of therapeutic agents. The cells include a DNA sequence which is expressed by the cell and which codes for a protein having complement inhibitory activity and which provides protection against complement-based lysis, i.e. hyperacute rejection. In addition, the cell's natural genome is changed so that proteins encoded by the class I or class II major histocompatability complex genes do not appear on the cell's surface. In this way, attack by T-cells is avoided. Optionally the cells can include a self-destruction mechanism so that they can be removed from the host when no longer needed.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, on prépare une composition de procatalyseur particulaire destinée à la polymérisation d'oléfines en faisant réagir les particules porteuses composées d'un complexe MgCl2-C2H5OH avec du TiCl4. Lorsque ce procédé est appliqué à une échelle pilote, il a été remarqué que la composition de procatalyseur obtenue produisait un polymère oléfinique, dont la partie composée d'un matériau finement divisé était trop importante et pouvait en provoquer la détérioration. Ceci était dû au fait que les particules de la composition de procatalyseur s'étaient décomposées en un matériau finement divisé au cours de la synthèse, la structure de ce matériau étant alors reproduite, au cours de la polymérisation, dans la structure du polymère par le phénomène dit de répétition. Selon l'invention, il a été remarqué, de façon imprévue, que le fractionnement des particules porteuses n'était pas le résultat d'une contrainte mécanique, par exemple, mais était dû au fait que, lorsque les particules porteuses réagissent avec le TiCl4, une libération importante de chlorure d'hydrogène est initialement provoquée par la réaction qui fractionne les particules porteuses. Celles-ci peuvent, selon l'invention, demeurer intactes au cours de la réaction dans la mesure où l'on répartit la libération du chlorure d'hydrogène, dans la réaction ou à partir de la réaction, à une vitesse molaire ne dépassant pas cinq fois la valeur de la vitesse molaire moyenne de la libération. L'on effectue ceci, entre autres, en ajoutant les réactifs avec une lenteur inhabituelle, à des températures et des vitesses de chauffage plus basses, en intensifiant l'agitation, en utilisant une surpression et/ou en amenant un gaz inerte diluant dans le mélange de réaction.

Abstract: Means for dispensing simultaneously two liquids held in respective flexible containers (2,24), one within the other, comprise concentric tubular passages (16,38) for flows of the liquids from their containers when pressure is applied to the outer container. The inner passage has a narrow elongate form and terminates within the outer passage a final exit section of which provides a common conduit for both flows. A reduced liquid pressure is produced at the inner passage termination by having a tapered upstream end (52) of said conduit overlapping said termination and the conduit is configured to inhibit mixing of the flows along its length. The two liquids are thus dispensed in a single stream in which an, eg. coloured, flow from the inner passage is visible in the core of the stream. By adjusting the position of said conduit taper (52) relative to the inner passage termination it is possible to vary the proportions of the two components in the flow.

Abstract: A thermal ink jet pen including a main ink storage compartment wherein a block of foam (48) is completely sealed off from the surrounding ambient. The pen further includes an ink delivery section (20) which is fluidically coupled at one end to the ink storage compartment and has a thin film printhead (26) mounted on an outer surface (22) thereof. The above main ink storage compartment includes a pair of flexible major side walls (44, 46) which begin to collapse as ink and air are drawn out of the pen during an ink jet printing operation. As this happens, and the collapsible side walls (44, 46) are forced into the opposite surfaces of the compressed foam block (48), and the inherent spring force of the foam block produces an equal and opposite force in equilibrium with these side walls (44, 46) within the ink storage compartment. This equilibrium condition operates to stabilize the negative backpressure within the ink storage compartment at a relatively constant value and prevents the pen from drooling ink.

Abstract: The process for neutralising ultimate waste or residues is characterised in that it consists in mixing a solution of magnesium chloride with magnesium oxide before a stage of mixing with the ultimate waste or residues, the final product having a pH of between 5 and 7 before solidification. The magnesium chloride solution employed is titrated between 20 and 40 %; magnesium oxide is present in quantities of between 6 and 33 % of the final mass of the product. A pasty substance is obtained which solidifies without loss in mass within a few hours at ambient temperature. This neutralising process requires only a small energy input; it can be carried out at ambient temperature, for example for the treatment of residues from scrubbing of incinerator fumes.
