Title: Method of manufacturing an electrofusion coupler
Inventor: BARFIELD MALCOLM RAYMOND
IPC: B29D23/00
Filed: 1995-04-13
Granted: 1998-03-26
Abstract: In the manufacture of an electrofusion coupler, a winding (2) of an electrical resistance heating wire is wound directly around a mandrel (10) which comprises two parts providing respective ends of the mandrel. The mandrel supports electrically conducting terminal elements (5,6) by means of supporting locations (11) on the mandrel parts which form an integral part of the mandrel. The resistance wire (2) wound around the mandrel is connected to the electrically conducting terminal elements (5,6). Subsequently a body of thermoplastics (1) is moulded around the mandrel to form the electrofusion coupler, and thereafter the mandrel parts are extracted axially from the electrofusion coupler from opposite ends, leaving the winding (2) and terminal elements (5,6) in place in the electrofusion coupler. In a variant, a thermoplastic preform (3) is manufactured having electrically conducting terminal plates (5) secured thereto, the preform having an electrical resistance heating wire (2) wound therearound and secured to said terminal plates. An outer thermoplastics jacket (1) is then moulded around the wound preform (3) and said terminal plates (5), with bores being formed in said outer jacket extending to holes in the terminal plates. Subsequently electrical terminals having screw-threaded shanks (9) are screwed into said bores and into electrical contact with said terminal plates (5). <IMAGE>

Inventor: MOENGEN HARALD K
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1997-04-17
Granted: 2000-09-14
Abstract: In a method for manipulation of a movable object displayed in a television picture, the distance between the object and fixed basic positions is detected at a time t together with the distance between the object and a television camera in a known position. The object's position is converted to a position X,Y in the television camera's picture plane, generating therein a synthetic object which overlays the movable object and represents it in the television picture. In a method for generating a synthetic track which represents the path of a movable object displayed in television pictures during a period theta, the path of the object is calculated on the basis of its detected positions, and these positions are used for generating a synthetic track which is displayed in a television picture in order to represent the path of the object in the period T.

Title: Card reader
Inventor: WONG YIU KONG
IPC: G06K13/06
Filed: 1996-03-13
Granted: 1999-02-18
Abstract: A card reader stores the energy imparted by a user inserting a card into a slot. When the card is fully inserted, a release mechanism is triggered and the stored energy moves a read head over a coded stripe. In the preferred embodiment, a torsion spring mounted on a carriage winds about an axle. The axle has a gear at one end which engages a rack fixed on the base of the reader. The gear and axle rotate as the carriage is moved relative to the reader, thereby winding the torsion spring and storing energy. A set of ratchet teeth mounted on the base prevents the return of the carriage before the card is fully inserted into the slot. The reader can also accommodate reading and writing to smart cards.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for producing active oxygen ions in the air for improved air quality, comprising at least one air ionizer and an electric transformer producing sufficient electrical high voltage for air ionization. The air ionizer is coupled to a sensor which detects the oxidizable gas content in the air (air pollution sensor).

Granted: 2002-03-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for in vitro creation of molecular libraries evolution of protein function. Particularly, it relates to variability and modification of protein function by shuffling polynucleotide sequence segments. A protein of desired characteristics can be obtained by incorporating variant peptide regions (variant motifs) into defined peptide regions (scaffold sequence). The variant motifs can be obtained from parent DNA which has been subjected to mutagenesis to create a plurality of differently mutated derivatives thereof or they can be obtained from in vivo sequences. These variant motifs can then be incorporated into a scaffold sequence and the resulting coded protein screened for desired characteristics. This method is ideally used for obtaining antibodies with desired characteristics by isolating individual CDR DNA sequences and incorporating them into a scaffold which may, for example, be from a totally different antibody. <IMAGE>

Title: Steam desuperheater
Inventor: FEISS ROY L
IPC: F22G5/12
Filed: 1993-12-13
Granted: 1998-07-09
Abstract: A desuperheater is disclosed which employs an acceleration orifice within a steam conduit to increase the velocity of steam flowing therethrough, creating a region of low pressure steam. A nozzle having an enclosed elliptical discharge orifice sprays small droplets of cooling water in a semi-elliptical hollow cone pattern directly into the region of low pressure steam flow. Evaporization of the cooling water into the steam is optimized allowing effective control of the steam temperature. Nozzle fouling and plugging is reduced because the droplet size created by the nozzle is small in comparison to the nozzle orifice.
