IPC: C08G77/06
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: A process is disclosed for manufacturing high number average molecular weight polysiloxane copolymers by interfacial polymerization. These polysiloxanes contain phenylmethyl siloxane blocks and dimethyl siloxane blocks, alternately polymerized together to form an (A m B n ) x  type copolymer. Our interfacial polymerization process is fast, proceeds smoothly at room temperature and is not reversible, i.e., no cyclic siloxane species are generated. The polysiloxanes are formed as thermoplastic elastomers suitable for use as sealants, fillers and films.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer is formed from a thermoplastic polymer such as a polyester, polycarbonate, or combinations thereof or a polyamide, which polymer is melt blended with an acrylic rubber. The acrylic rubber desirably has from about 0.5 to about 5 mole percent repeat units from halogen (desirably chlorine) containing monomer. Subsequently the acrylic rubber is crosslinked with 2,5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole or a derivative thereof. Such a thermoplastic elastomer may have a compression set less than 50% making it useful in applications involving continuous use under compression.

Abstract: A media server system including a media server coupled through a SCSI bus to one or
more MPEG decoder boxes. Each of the MPEG decoder boxes includes a plurality of data
channels and is adapted to receive encoded MPEG data from the computer system. The
computer system generates data transfers to the respective MPEG decoder boxes for transfer on
the selected channels. The computer system is configurable according to various file storage
formats, including file systems which prepend a header comprising channel information to the
video data, and file systems which do not prepend a header comprising channel information to
the video data. According to the present invention, the computer system assigns a first SCSI
logical unit number, preferably LUN 0, to a SCSI bus data transfer if the data being transferred
includes a header comprising channel information. The computer system assigns a SCSI logical
unit number which corresponds to the destination channel if the data transfer does not include a
header including channel information. Each of the MPEG decoder boxes examines received data
from the computer system and uses the SCSI logical unit number comprised in the data to
determine the channel. If the LUN is 0, the MPEG decoder box examines the header in the
received data and determines the channel from the header. If the LUN is other than 0, the MPEG
decoder box determines the channel based on the LUN number. Therefore, the present invention
allows the MPEG decoder box to operate with different file systems.

Abstract: A run flat pneumatic tire is reinforced by a thin annular composite band
imbedded in the crown portion of the tire in combination with a plurality of radial
cords or plies in its sidewalls which have freedom in shear with respect to one
another. The band is formed by a plurality of layers of material strips wherein each
strip is wound in a helical pattern, with adjacent strips being wound at reverse
angles to each other. Each layer is formed under sufficient pressure and at an
elevated temperature whereby the band is prestressed in tension which decreases
the maximum stress at the footprint area of the tire. The invention furthermore
incorporates the method of imparting the prestress on the annular band during its
manufacture.

Abstract: A data communications system includes a standard tele-communications
apparatus (1) arranged to transport analogue signals in a form of Adaptive Differential
Pulse Code Modulated (ADPCM) digital signals generated from Pulse Code
Modulated (PCM) digital signals representative of the analogue signals. A mapping
data processor (13) coupled to a source (14) of digital data and to an ADPCM encoder
(3) of the standard telecommunications apparatus (1), generates PCM coded symbols
representative of the digital data in accordance with a predetermined mapping
function. An unmapping data processor (15) connected to an ADPCM to PCM
decoder (10) of the apparatus (1) operates to re-generate the digital data from
communicated PCM signals. The mapping and unmapping data processes are
arranged in combination with the PCM and ADPCM encoding and decoding
operations to provide a substantial increase in a rate of data communication, with
respect to a data rate which would be achieved if the digital data were to be converted
into analogue signals and fed to a PCM encoder of the standard telecommunications
equipment.

Abstract: Cash dispensing patterns at an ATM are evaluated to
facilitate maintaining a cash dispenser (18) of the ATM with
sufficient cash. The amount of cash dispensed during a
particular transaction at the ATM is determined. The time
at which the cash was dispensed is also determined. An
actual dispense pattern is then determined which is based
upon the amount of cash dispensed and the time at which the
cash was dispensed. The actual dispense pattern is compared
with a predicted dispense pattern stored in a memory (34).
Based upon the results of this comparison, a real-time
signal is generated which is indicative of when the cash
dispenser (18) should be replenished.

Abstract: A mis-insertion preventive rib 15 which will fit in the
front opening that is formed in the magnetic tape cassette is
provided at the storage part 3 which constitutes the magnetic
tape cassette storage case 1 and, to facilitate visual and
palpable recognition, the height H1 of the lateral wall part 13
which is formed at the outer circumferential part of the
storage part 3 is designed so as to be smaller than the height
H2 of the mis-insertion preventive rib 15 so as not to be
supported between the lateral walls 13 but to protrude from the
lateral wall part 13 when the magnetic tape cassette is
inserted incorrectly. Therefore, at the time to store the
magnetic tape cassette in the storage case, if the
mis-insertion preventive rib does not fit in the front opening,
the insertion in the incorrect direction can be checked
visually by the entire magnetic cassette protruding from the
lateral walls. Since the magnetic tape cassette which protrude
from the lateral wall part is not supported between the lateral
walls, the lid part is difficult to be closed even if tried and
thus the incorrect mounting state is quickly recognized.

Abstract: To judge with certainty whether the condition of
attachment of each metal terminal is proper, a method and
apparatus are provided in which a thinned distal end
portion of a lance check pin having guide portions
contacts an inner surface of a lance flexing space. The
lance check pin, when inserted into the lance flexing
space, is kept in a proper posture by the guide portions.
Therefore, misjudgment of the terminal position is
avoided. In addition, to eliminate the need for a
retainer, there is provided a method and apparatus in
which metal terminal-inserting jigs are inserted into a
connector, so that pressing portions of the jigs are
inserted into cavities through insertion holes of a
connector housing. Metal terminals disposed in an
improperly-inserted position are pushed by distal ends of
pressing portions of the jig, and are moved to a properly-inserted
position where the metal terminal is held against
withdrawal by the engagement portion of a lance. The jigs
are reusable, thereby reducing the number of the parts.
Even if the metal terminal is disposed in an improperly-inserted
position, the metal terminal need not be removed
reinserted, and reinspected.
