Title: Method of producing prestressed diamond composite films by chemical vapor deposition and articles produced therefrom
Inventor: ANTHONY THOMAS RICHARD
IPC: C23C16/27
Filed: 1992-12-18
Abstract: A method for producing prestressed diamond composite articles having a reinforcing member therein comprises introducing a mixture of a carbon compound such as methane, and hydrogen into a conventional CVD chamber containing the reinforcing member centrally positioned between banks of filaments to substantially symmetrically deposit a diamond layer on the reinforcing member which has a thermal coefficient of expansion equal to or greater than that of diamond. After a desired thickness of diamond layer is deposited on the reinforcing member, the composite is cooled and the reinforcing member contracts more than the diamond layer with the result that the diamond layer is prestressed by the compressive stresses provided by the thermal contraction of the reinforcing member. Additionally, since the reinforcing member is centrally disposed within the diamond article bending moments which are typically present in a conventionally made diamond article are absent. Thus, a crack free and distortion free diamond composite article having an improved structural strength is produced. <IMAGE>

Filed: 2000-09-29
Granted: 2002-05-29
Abstract: A file specifying a "donut" of dynamic, hierarchical, shared user-profile information is maintained. The donut contains a user-profile, or acts as a key to a data repository containing such a user-profile, and the donut specifies user-profile information such as user characteristics, viewing preferences, hobbies, and spending habits. The donut may be stored in a network server or in a user's machine which is connectible to the network. The donut is accessed by browser programs, associated web server programs, and other applications for use in routing content to the user associated with the donut. The donut implements a dynamic store of user profile-data which may be exchanged between the user and the server. This enables, for example, advertising to be tailored to the user based on the users responses to specific questions and/or on the user profile. <IMAGE>

Title: An adapative fuel strategy for a hybrid electric vehicle
Inventor: KOTRE STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2001-12-07
Granted: 2004-11-17
Abstract: This invention is a method and system for a hybrid electric vehicle adaptive fuel strategy to quickly mature an adaptive fuel table. The strategy adaptively alters the amount of fuel delivered to an internal combustion engine to optimize engine efficiency and emissions using engine sensors. Before the adaptive fuel strategy is permitted, an engine "on" idle arbitration logic requires the HEV to be in idle conditions, with normal battery state of charge, normal vacuum in the climate control and brake system reservoir; and, the vapor canister not needing purging. The strategy orders the engine throttle to sweep different airflow regions of the engine to adapt cells within the adaptive fuel table. In the preferred configuration, a generator attached to the vehicle drive train, adds and subtracts torque to maintain constant engine speed during the throttle sweeps.

Title: Dispensing systems
Inventor: SPENCER JEFFREY WILLIAM
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 1998-07-13
Granted: 2000-03-01
Abstract: A dispensing system for flowable material comprises a container having a cover 2 through which is mounted a pump 8. A stiff feed tube 3 extends from the pump 8 down to the foot of the container. A follower plate 5 which fits around the feed tube 3 and is slidable down inside the container, lies on top of the material M in the container and assists in clearing material from the container as dispensing proceeds. In order to help prime the pump 8 and avoid the follower plate 5 losing contact with the surface of the material M after container filling, e.g. on shrinkage of a warmed material, a spacer 100 is fitted between the top of the container and the follower plate 5 so that the follower plate 5 is forced down in the container on assembly. This also urges material up inside the feed tube 3 to assist pump priming.
