Title: Heat-recoverable devices.
Inventor: LANGLAND GEORGE RAYMOND
IPC: F16L13/00
Filed: 1987-04-09
Abstract: Hollow heat-shrinkable conductive polymer devices, particularly coupling members (2) for joining polymeric pipes (3, 4), have end sections (12, 13) of increased wall thickness so that, when current is passed through the device, the end sections are heated to a lower temperature. This avoids overheating (and consequent weakening) of that part of the pipe which is enclosed by the end section of the device.

Title: Giant particle and single crystal of chromium and production thereof
IPC: C30B13/00
Filed: 1990-09-28
Abstract: A giant particle and a single crystal of chromium are produced by sintering Cr containing 0.0002-0.1 wt.% in terms of their oxides of Ti, Al, Si and/or Ca and optionally 0.01-3 wt.% of Co and heat-treating it. The sintered chromium can be given a desired shape before the heat-treatment. The sintering can be carried out for 10 mins. or longer under pressure (1000 atm or higher) at a temp. between 1200 deg. C and the m.pt. of Cr. The shaping is carried out by hot-rolling, moulding, or pressing. The temp. of hot-rolling is 700 deg. C or lower and the rolling percentage is 30-90%. The heat-treatment (sec. crystallisation) is carried out at 1300-1860 deg. C (the m.pt. of Cr) for pref. 30 mins. or longer. However, when Cr contains Co, which functions as a catalyst, the heat-treatment is carried out at 1300 deg. C.

Title: Method and apparatus for overcoming turbo lag.
Inventor: HALIMI EDWARD M
IPC: F02B37/11
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the time response of a turbo-compressor assisted internal combustion engine wherein the turbo-compressor is driven by an electric motor at a speed somewhat less than its full-load operating speed until such time as the turbo-compressor is driven at a higher speed by an exhaust gas turbine. The electric motor is provided to maintain the minimum rotational speed of the turbo-compressor when the engine load is low so that the turbo-compressor is ready for prompt response when driven by increasing exhaust gas as a result of additional load demand on the internal combustion engine.

A bridge width at both ends of the slot is set to be greater than the greater one of a width capable of being punched out and a width allowed from a mechanical strength due to a centrifugal force between the width capable of being punched out, a width allowed from the number of passing magnetic fluxes and the width allowed from the mechanical strength due to the centrifugal force. Further, at least one connecting portion of gap is provided to each magnetic pole so as to laminate the steel sheets. The bridge width at both end of the slot is set to be smaller than a width from the outside portion of the permanent magnet for the field to the outside edge of the magnetic pole.

Patent EP-0832173-A4 (EP)
Title: Anti-seize thread compound
Inventor: OLDIGES DONALD A
IPC: C10M171/00
Filed: 1996-04-30
Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of nonmetallic, finely divided polymeric or natural fibers in anti-seize thread compound formulations for use on rotary shouldered, oilfield tubular good or tapered threaded connections. The addition of such fibers into formulas that do not contain metallic powders or flakes (typically utilized to provide the anti-galling properties) provides a measurable improvement in the galling and seize resistance properties. Therefore, the incorporation of such fibers provides a film strength improvement in environmentally responsible thread compound compositions, which previously would not provide the level of galling resistance to perform in severe applications such as oilfield directional or geothermal drilling.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une composition aqueuse micellaire qui comporte un dérivé de chitosane ayant, en tant que groupe hydrophile, des groupes alkyle(C1-5) carboxy et en tant que groupe hydrophobe, incorporé à la solution, des groupes alkyle C9-21 ou acyle C9-21 aliphatiques, ainsi qu'un médicament hydrophobe. L'invention concerne également un procédé de solubilisation d'un médicament hydrophobe qui consiste à ajouter le dérivé de chitosane décrit ci-dessus conjointement avec le médicament hydrophobe à un solvant aqueux de façon à former une composition aqueuse micellaire. Ainsi, des médicaments qui sont insolubles dans l'eau et sont de ce fait difficilement injectables par des procédés classiques, peuvent être incorporés à des injections. On peut en outre s'attendre à ce qu'un effet promoteur d'absorption soit exercé sur des médicaments possédant une faible solubilité dans des préparations destinées à l'administration par voie orale, etc.
