Title: Latent mercaptan stabilizers for improved weatherability of clear halogen-containing polymer compositions
Inventor: CONROY GARY M
IPC: C08K3/16
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: Stabilizer compositions useful for protecting clear polyvinyl chloride and other clear halogen-containing polymer compositions used in the manufacture of exterior weatherable products against discoloration and degradation caused by exposure to ultraviolet light and weathering in addition to heat comprising a latent mercaptan which degrades during processing of the composition at an elevated temperature to liberate a free mercaptan, in combination with a synergistic amount of a free phenyl salicylate compound. The latent mercaptan may be the sole heat stabilizer additive in the stabilizer composition, but the free mercaptan released during processing may also synergize the activity of organic-based or metal-based heat stabilizers such as metal salts and organometallic stabilizers such as organotin carboxylates and organotin mercaptides in the polymer composition. Clear polyvinyl chloride and other clear halogen-containing polymer compositions containing these compounds are also provided which exhibit improved ultraviolet light stability and weatherability without detracting from their thermal performance.

Title: Encoding/decoding additional symbols in a communications system
Inventor: BOTTOMLEY GREGORY E
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: Digital communication systems and methods combine block encoding and differential and/or amplitude modulation. For every codeword period, one or more additional bits can be transmitted by applying differential modulation and/or amplitude modulation to the codewords. In differential modulation, additional information may be sent by flipping or not flipping the sign of a codeword. In amplitude modulation, additional information may be sent by changing the amplitude of successive codewords. A combination of differential and amplitude encoding may also be used. Thus, the data rate can be increased without increasing the symbol transmission rate.

Title: Power-modulated laser devices
Inventor: BEARDEN ALAN J
IPC: G11B7/20
Filed: 1990-09-27
Abstract: Method and apparatus for measuring nanometer or picometer surface displacements in a target surface. A laser beam is directed against the target surface, and time-dependent variations in laser output power are measured. These variations, which are due to non-specular reflection of the incident beam by the target and reentry of the retroreflected light into the laser cavity, are used to determine time-dependent displacements at the target surface, based on a linear relationship between the measured power variations and surface displacements. The invention is useful for determining microscopic surface features of a surface, for high-density laser optical disc data storage and retrieval, and as an ultrasensitive transducer for sound or mechanical vibrations.

Title: Copolymers of polyaspartic acid and polycarboxylic acids and polyamines
Inventor: WOOD LOUIS L
IPC: C08G69/10
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: Copolymers of polyaspartic acid which are suitable for the inhibition of scale deposition were obtained by reacting maleic acid, an additional polycarboxylic acid and ammonia in a stoichiometric excess, at 120 DEG -350 DEG  C., preferably 180 DEG -300 DEG  C., to provide copolymers of polysuccinimide. In a second embodiment, a polyamine was added to the reaction mix. These intermediate polysuccinimide copolymers could then be converted to the salts of copolymers of polyaspartic acid by hydrolysis with a hydroxide. Such copolymers are useful in preventing deposition of scale from water and find applications in treating water. Other applications include scale prevention additives for detergents. In addition, such copolymers inhibit dental tartar and plaque formation.

Title: Propellant filling and sealing valve
Inventor: MIETZ RAYMOND E
IPC: B65D83/14
Filed: 1987-01-06
Abstract: A non-venting propellant filling and sealing valve (10) is seated in a propellant filling hole (14) in a bottom wall (11) of a container, and permits pressurization of a container through the hole and thereafter seals the container. The valve (10) includes an umbrella sealing portion (18), a stem portion (20) and shoulder portions (25a, 25b) in a collar (24) around the stem portion (20). The umbrella sealing portion is resilient and is adapted to separate from the interior surface (46) of the bottom wall (11) of the container during pressurization and then make a generally annular seal with this surface around the hole (14). The stem portion (20) positions the umbrella sealing portion (18) around the filling hole and both it and the collar (24) have axially extending grooves therein for con- - ducting pressurizing fluid to the interior of the container. The shoulder portions (25a, 25b) of the collar (24) bear against the outer surface (42) of the bottom wall (11) to prevent the valve (10) from being blown into the container during pressurization and cause the umbrella sealing portion (18) to engage the interior surface (46) of the bottom wall. When pressurization is completed, the source of fluid is removed and the pressure inside the container, being greater than ambient, causes the umbrella sealing portion (18) to form an annular, fluid- tight seal with the interior surface (46) around the filling hole (14).

Title: Telecommunication line circuit
Inventor: CHEA R C W
IPC: H04B3/03
Filed: 1981-08-19
Abstract: The transverse and longitudinal termination impedances of a subscriber line interface circuit may be independently controlled. The equivalent termination impedance of a subscriber line/trunk appearing to the central office can be adusted upward or downward from a lower resistance value, with longitudnal balance being determined by the matching of feed resistors. The circuit is implementable as a monolithic integrated circuit having low power dissipation, improved power bandwidth requirements, and lower voltage breakdown requirements for integrated circuits; all resulting in an improved telephone line interface circuit. Voltage or current feedback to synthesize the proper ac transverse termination impedance from a known dc resistance, is utilized the feed resistors in a telephone line circuit. The transverse and the longitudinal termination impedance are determined by choice of feed resistance value. The independent control of transverse impedance is achieveable as a result of the feedback circuitry being nonresponsive to longitudinal signal.

The component is produced by compressing powdered material in the interior of the sleeve by upper and lower punches. The upper punch is then removed and the sleeve is partially removed with the product from the die, by movement against the direction of the taper. The interior dimension of the sleeve increases elastically and the product is then removed from the sleeve by raising the lower punch.
