Title: Method and apparatus for synchronizing signals
Inventor: KUPNICKI RICHARD A
IPC: H04N5/073
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing unrelated reference signals originating from two or more sources at different locations, which signals may be in different signal formats and/or subject to different delays at the receiving station. A master generator having an absolute time input from a highly stable time source generates a master reference signal having a frequency that is a common multiple of the frequencies of the unrelated reference signals. A counter is implemented from an arbitrary initial time point and the time elapsed from the initial time point to a synchronizing event is periodically encoded into the master reference signal as time code data. A slave generator associated with each information signal is genlocked to the master reference signal, and the time code data is encoded into the slave reference outputs. Each synchronizing event is thus associated with time code data specifying the absolute time of the synchronizing event, which can be inserted into an upstream position in the slave reference output associated with the information signal. Thus, two signals originating from different locations can be precisely synchronized so that transmission from one source to the other is synchronous and signal timings are known in advance.

Title: Steamer gas oven
Inventor: ABIDOR ALEXANDER
IPC: A47J27/04
Filed: 1998-07-14
Abstract: A gas powered, pressureless steam cooker has a connector tube for ingress of steam into the cooking compartment so that entry of a low temperature, wet steam can be minimized. The connector tube has a small diameter to constrain the entry of steam into the cooker compartment until it has reached a minimum velocity. A water reservoir is located alongside the oven compartment to the rear of the cooker and an integrated heat exchange tube and firebox are located in the tank. This tube is generally U-shaped, a lower horizontal leg opening at a mouth outside the water reservoir. An inshot burner fires into the lower horizontal leg and combustion gas flow through the U tube giving up heat to water in the reservoir. Additional heat exchange surface may be provided by channels through an upper leg of the U-tube from side to side. Flow of combustion gases may be optimized by the shape of the U-tube and at least a deflecting surface between a vertical web of the U and the upper leg of the U.

Title: Dual stage rotary screw pump tool and method of pump flushing
Inventor: CARRIERE KENT J
IPC: F04C2/107
Filed: 1998-08-07
Abstract: A rotary pump coupling device is used for flushing dual rotary screw pumps. The device is in the form of a tubular housing having a first set of apertures and a pair of subs for connecting the device to the stators of upper and lower pumps of an oil production string. Within the housing is a sleeve having a second set of apertures. The sleeve is slidable between an open position when the first and second set of apertures communicate and a closed position when the first and second set of apertures do not communicate. Fingers extend from a top and bottom end of the sleeve. Protrusions extending radially outward from the fingers are received in respective upper and lower annular recesses along an inner face of the housing in open or closed positions. Camming faces on the protrusions disengage the protrusions from the upper and lower recesses when the sleeve is displaced from the open or closed positions. A collar mounted on a drive shaft connecting the upper and lower pumps engages shoulders on an inner face of the sleeve for displacing the sleeve between open or closed positions.

Abstract: A control jacket (10) houses a line, such as a fiber optic ribbon cable or other conductor, and limits the amont of bending and twisting movement of the line. The jacket (10) preferably includes a multi-dimensional matrix (20) of engagement elements (30) separated by a plurality of gaps and connected by an underlying web structure. As the jacket (10) is bent or twisted, adjacent engagement elements (30) move together into engagement with each other, limiting the bend radius or twist angle of the jacket (10), and thus of the fiber optic ribbon cable or other protected line. The jacket (10) preferably includes at least one fastening mechanism (100), allowing the control jacket (10) to be opened along its length for easy insertion and removal of the line as needed. Multiple jackets can be placed end-to-end along the line, to create a composite jacket of any desired length.

Filed: 1997-05-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to monoclonal antibody H11 and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to the antigen recognized by H11, the C-antigen. The C-antigen is found specifically on neoplastic cells and not on normal cells. Also disclosed are polynucleotide and polypeptide derivatives based on H11, including single chain V region molecules and fusion proteins, and various pharmaceutical compositions. When administered to an individual, the H11 antibody is effective in diagnosing, localizing, and/or treating neoplasias. The invention further provides methods for treating a neoplastic disease, particularly melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, soft tissue sarcoma, and small cell lung carcinoma. Patients who are in remission as a result of traditional modes of cancer therapy may be treated with a composition of this invention in hopes of reducing the risk of recurrence.  Patients may also be treated concurrently with the antibodies and traditional anti-neoplastic agents.
