Title: Shoe insole for diabetics
Inventor: SEITER HANS
IPC: A43B7/22
Filed: 2003-04-10
Abstract: A shoe insole ( 111 ) for diabetics is provided with a sole base body ( 136 ), a sole covering layer ( 137 ) and with a number of cushion-like layers ( 112, 113, 114, 115, 116 ) distributed over the surface of the sole. The cushion-like layers consist of at least one first cushion-like layer ( 112 ) in the forefoot joint area, a second cushion-like layer ( 113 ) in the midfoot/tarsus transition area, and of a third cushion-like layer ( 114 ) in the midfoot/heal transition area. These cushion-like layers serving to assist venous blood draining are each subdivided into individual plateau-like areas ( 118 to 127 ) that are adjacent in the transversal direction of the sole surface ( 117 ) while being separated from one another. The top side of the cushion-like layers also covered by the sole covering layer ( 137 ) is raised relative to the level of the top side of the sole base body ( 136 ). The aim of the invention is to provide a shoe insole of the aforementioned type that, while providing a lasting assistance of arterial inflow into the foot or foot sole area, has a continuing positive influence on the foot or foot sole areas endangered by a diabetic metabolic condition. To this end, at least one indentation ( 161, 162 ) is provided between the first cushion-like layer ( 112 ) in the forefoot joint area and the second cushion-like layer ( 113 ) in the midfoot/tarsus transition area. Said indentation serves to relieve the pressure on the midfoot bone capitulum(s) and emanates from the top side of the sole base body ( 136 ).

Title: Chipper knife
Inventor: BILLER SVEN-OLOV
IPC: B27L11/00
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: The block comprises a flat or cone-shaped plate with cutting blades (2) mounted on it so that one end of the blade cutting edge (6) is closer to the block rotation axis than the other end. The cutting edge is bordered by a timber guide surface and a chip guide surface (13), the timber guide surface having an angle relative to its rotation plane which varies over its length, so that the largest angle is at the end of the cutting edge closest to the rotation axis and the angle then reduces in the outwards direction. The chip guide surface also has an angle relative to its rotation plane which varies over its length, so that the angle at the end of the cutting edge closest to the rotation axis increases in the outwards direction, ensuring that the cutting edge angle between the timber and chip guide surfaces remains essentially constant over the entire length of the cutting edge.

Title: Method and apparatus for packaging hot melt adhesives using a mold placed into a carrier
Inventor: ALPER MARK D
IPC: B31B50/00
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: A dual component molding assembly for packaging hot melt adhesives wherein a mold, preferably in the form of an open top pan, includes a cavity which is lined with a thin film of plastic material. The mold has openings formed therein which communicate with the cavity to facilitate vacuum forming of the film to the cavity's interior surface. The second component is a carrier for the mold and is also preferably in the form of an open top pan. The carrier also includes a cavity for receiving the mold, and functions not only to support the mold when nested therein, but also to act as a heat sink to effectively and rapidly remove, dissipate or absorb the heat from molten adhesive dispensed into the mold. After filling the mold with a mass of adhesive, the exposed open top surface of the adhesive is covered with a second layer of thin film of plastic material which is then sealed to the first film lining the interior of the mold. After cooling, the packaged adhesive is cut adjacent the seal to form individual adhesive blocks for further processing.

Title: Method for catalytically dehydrating hydrocarbons
Inventor: MENZEL JOHANNES
IPC: C07C5/48
Filed: 2003-10-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing unsaturated hydrocarbons. According to said method, in a first step, a hydrocarbon, especially a mixture which contains alkanes, essentially no water, and can contain water vapour, is continuously guided through a first catalyst bed provided with standard dehydration conditions. Liquid water, water vapour and a gas containing oxygen are then added to the reaction mixture obtained in the first step and, in a second step, the reaction mixture obtained is then continuously guided through another catalyst bed for oxidising hydrogen and for further dehydrating hydrocarbons. The first catalyst bed can be heated and the heating in the first step is then preferably regulated in such a way that an essentially isothermic operating mode is created.
