Patent EP-0512671-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HARTLE RONALD J
IPC: B05D1/04
Filed: 1992-02-28
Abstract: An electrostatic repulsion device (10) is provided in an electrostatic spray paint booth having a grounded ceiling and conveyor (26) to improve transfer efficiency in applying the paint to a workpiece (22) and maintain a safe working environment without requiring protective fencing between an operator and the application equipment (10,12). The device (10) includes a length of electrical cable (96) having a central resistive conductor (98) and an insulation layer (100). The cable (96) is designed to produce low electrical capacitance in operation when connected to a high voltage source (46). Conductive members or pins (114) are mounted along the cable (96) through the insulation (100,104) to contact the conductor (98). The conductive members or pins (114) are arranged parallel to the spray path (30) in two longitudinal groups, with the first set being diametrically opposed to the second set. Each conductive member or pin (114) has a discharge end that is substantially flush with the outside surface of the insulation (104) of the electrical cable (96). The device (10) is transversely mounted with respect to a spray path (30) of charged, atomized paint particles dispensed from a non-conductive, rotary atomizer or low capacitance spray gun (12), so that an electrostatic field from the first set of conductive members repels the atomized, charged paint particles away from the grounded ceiling and conveyor (26) of the paint booth towards a workpiece (22). The electrostatic field produced by the second set of conductive members (114) bleeds accumulated charge from the low electrical capacitance repulsion device (10) before a high energy spark or discharge can occur whenever a grounded operator or object comes into proximity with the device (10). This safety feature eliminates the need for protective fencing and interlocks within the spray booth.

Abstract: A rotational surgical instrument (10) including a working head (12) connected to a rotatable, pencil-like handle (11). The handle includes a casing (13) with distal and proximal end caps (19,20), an elongated outer member (14) extending into the casing, and an actuation link (16) extending from the distal end cap through the casing and elongated member to the working head. An actuating mechanism (17) is positioned distally from the distal end cap about the proximal portion of the elongated member for slideably actuating the working head between open and closed positions. A compression spring (43) is included in the passageway of the casing around the actuation link between the proximal end cap and the proximal end of the elongated member to return the working head to the nonactuated position. Keyed surfaces (47,49) are included within the passageway of the casing and attached to the distal end of the casing and the proximal end of the elongated member for preventing rotation of the elongated member with respect to the casing and actuation link. A spring (21) is also positioned between the distal end cap and the actuating mechanism for varying the combined tension of the two springs for operating the handle. The variable tension spring is varied by rotating a knob of the actuating mechanism which adjusts the distance from the distal end cap.

Abstract: Redispersible polymer powders made by core-shell polymers having an alkali-soluble emulsion polymer shell and an aqueous-insoluble emulsion polymer core wherein the core and the shell polymers are chemically grafted by utilizing a polyfunctional compound are described. The core-shell polymers are produced by a two-stage sequential emulsion polymerization process in which an alkali-insoluble emulsion polymer core is polymerized in the presence of an alkali-solubilized emulsion polymer. When the core-shell polymer powders of this invention are employed as a cement modifier, improvements in the powder physical properties and cement mortar properties are realized.

Abstract: A phase-shifting mask (9), having plateau (12) and trench (14) surfaces located on a major surface of the mask, has a defect in the form of an indentation region (21) located on a plateau (or trench) surface. The mask is repaired with respect to the defect by spinning on the major surface of the mask a planarization layer (22) for which dry-etching conditions exist at which this planarization layer anisotropically etches at the same rate as that of the mask substrate material (10)--e.g., quartz. Then the portion ( u ) of the planarization layer overlying the defect is dry-etched under those conditions, using in one embodiment a patterned protective masking layer (23), such as chrome, having an aperture overlying the defect. This aperture need not be precisely laterally aligned with the defect (unless the defect extends to an edge of the plateau surface). The etching is continued until it reaches a depth H beneath the level of the plateau (or trench) surface that is equivalent to a phase shift of 2 nπ radian, where  n  is an integer (preferably unity).

Title: Apparatus and method for reclaiming useful oil products from waste oil
Inventor: SHURTLEFF EDWARD CALTON
IPC: C10M175/00
Filed: 1992-06-10
Abstract: Apparatus for reclaiming a useful oil product has an evaporation chamber, including an inlet for the waste oil, and an outlet for the vaporized oil, as a useful oil product. Burners are provided for heating the evaporation chamber to vaporize oil from the waste oil. A pump and a float arrangement are provided for monitoring the level of waste oil in the evaporation chamber, and for pumping additional waste oil into the chamber to maintain the waste oil at a desired level. Continuous operation of the apparatus results in a build up of solid wastes, e.g. heavy metals, in the chamber. After a period of operation, the burners are turned off, and the chamber opened, to enable the solid residue to be removed from the chamber. The vaporized oil can be condensed and collected.

Abstract: A method for positioning a read head substantially at a center line of a track of recorded data. Error correction information is provided in recorded data on the track, preferably in conjunction with blocks. A length of the track over which error correction information will be accumulated is defined, such as over a given number of the blocks. At a starting position of the read head, a number of errors is counted which occurs over said defined length. If the number of errors counted exceeds a preset maximum, repositioning the head to a new position, and again counting a number of errors which occur over the defined length, and determining if the number of errors still exceeds the preset maximum. The repositioning is performed until the number of errors over the given length no longer exceeds the preset maximum, the preset maximum being chosen so that when the preset maximum is no longer exceeded, the read head then substantially overlies the center line of the track where a minimized number of read errors occurs.
