Title: Multiple step conversion coating process
Inventor: SCHENZLE BERND
IPC: C23C22/36
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A process for the chemical pretreatment, before an organic coating, of composite
metal structures that contain aluminum or aluminum alloy portions together with zinc or
zinc alloy portions, and steel, galvanized steel and/or alloy-galvanized steel portions, such
that the phosphate level and the operating temperature of the zinc phosphate solution is
reduced, and the nitrite accelerator level of the solution is increased. The process of the
present invention reduces the sludge produced by the process, the temperature at which the
process operates, and the need for monitoring the process. Furthermore, the pretreatment
process of the present invention forms a conversion layer on all exposed metal surfaces
that is suitable as a corrosion-preventing paint substrate, especially before a cathodic
electro-dipcoating.

Abstract: A method of multiplexing a plurality of data flows (310) into a
single output (340) using hierarchical gating operations instead
of queues is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the
hierarchical multiplexing method comprises sequentially
processing a packet at each of a plurality of hierarchical
levels (350,351,352) by characterizing the flow at each hierarchical
level and either passing or discarding the packet. The
decision whether to pass or discard a packet is generally
made for each packet at one or more hierarchical levels
based on traffic parameters and the state of the system
such as congestion. In the preferred embodiment, a Three
Color Marker algorithm is used to characterize the flow and
mark packets subjecting to the discard decision. The
invention may be used by a router or multi-layer switch to
process multiple data flows in a hierarchical fashion
without hierarchical queues, thereby reducing processing
and memory requirements.

particularly useful in balancing X-ray and mammography systems having an
X-ray source (50) and detector (52) mounted to a rotational arm (44), includes
a linear actuator coupled to a drive mechanism which synchronizes the
activation of the linear actuator with the rotation of the arm (44) of the
mammography system. The drive mechanism can include intermeshed
gears, wheels or gears coupled together with a chain or belt, or other types of
synchronizing drives. The balancing mechanism reduces the amount of force
necessary to rotate the arm (44) and decreases the overall weight of the

Abstract: An internal, positive engagement lock locks a tool
(18), such as a hydraulic drilling jar, in the fully open
position when the tool (18) is racked back and when
tripping in and out of the hole close to the surface. A
lock mechanism (10) is spring biased into a locked position
that provides a positive engagement between two axially
translatable components, thus preventing any actuation of
the tool (18). As the tool (18) is run in the hole,
increasing hydrostatic pressure within the tool (18) will
cause the locking mechanism (10) to shift to a disengaged
position and the tool (18) will operate normally. The
spring-biased locking mechanism (10) will return to the
locked position as hydrostatic pressure decreases as the
tool (18) is retrieved to the surface.
