Inventor: LEE ZONG TANG
IPC: F24F7/06
Filed: 1997-09-03
Abstract: The present invention is a system of geometric guides and baffles for directing and diffusing the external air drawn from a fan blower before distributing the flow evenly to the outlet of a fain filter unit. This arrangement not only reduces the turbulence within a fan filter unit but also maintains the particle count of air drawn through the same system. Furthermore, the present invention is implemented in dimensions substantially similar to that of the fan blower. As such, the present invention minimises noise of a fan filter unit even in confined clean room facility.

Abstract: Linerless labels (16, 17) are manually dispensed by mounting a roll
(13) of the labels for take-off from a stationery shaft (20) supported in a
frame (24). A polygonal-cross-section foam core (28) is provided between
the shaft and the label roll to provide a brake drag effect to prevent excess
label unwind. The non-adhesive face (14) of the labels passes from the roll
(13) around a freely rotating guide roller (34) also mounted in the frame and
having a non-stick surface which ensures consistent wrap of the labels and
on scuffing of the non-adhesive face as the labels are dispensed. The labels
pass from the guide roller to a smooth, arcuate tear surface (37) having no
force concentrating structure. The tear surface preferably is the exterior
surface of the cylinder or tube (40), also mounted to the frame.

Abstract: Method and system for routing a PAGING message of a
mobile terminated call set-up from a public land mobile
network (PLMN) to a mobile station (MS) located within a
location area (LA) of an office communication system
(OS), a mobile switching centre (MSC) communicating with
office communication systems via gateways (GW). In order

connected to the MSC;   deleting the PAGING messages in the gateways (GW) of
those office communication systems to which the present
location area (LA) of the addressed subscriber does not
belong;   exploiting the location area identity information
included in the transmitted PAGING message in the gateway
(GW), to which the present location area (LA) of the
addressed subscriber belongs, for forwarding the PAGING
message to the addressed mobile subscriber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a matrix switch for optical fibers, exhibiting slides (S1(n)) arranged in lines, to each of which an input optical fiber (LWL1(n)) is fixed, and slides (S2(m))arranged in columns to each of which an output optical fiber (LWL2(m)) is fixed. The slides with the optical fibers are arranged on two planes in such a way that the input optical fibers can be optically coupled to the output optical fibers by displacing the output and input slides. A device (1) with stops (2) arranged in lines and columns is provided to position the slides (S1(n)), (S2(m)) to which the input or output optical fibers (LWL1(n)), (LWL1(n)) are fixed. Said positioning device (1) enables the advancement of the output slides (S2(m)) to be limited in such a way that the output slides are secured in an exact position in which the input optical fibers can be coupled to the output optical fibers. The input and/or output slides are fitted with stops which are arranged in such a way that the input or output slides are secured in a position in which the input are exactly aligned with the output optical fibers. The matrix switch for optical fibers has a simple, compact design. It enables high-precision optical fiber connection involving relatively low switching times.

Abstract: A method of making an aggregate comprising at least a carbon phase and a silicon-containing species phase is disclosed. The method involves introducing a first feedstock into a first stage (9) of a multi-stage reactor, and introducing a second feedstock into the reactor at a location (10) downstream of the first stage. The first and second feedstock comprise a carbon black-yielding feedstock, and at least one feedstock also comprises a silicon-containing compound. The reactor is operated at a sufficient temperature to decompose the silicon-containing compound and to pyrolize the carbon black-yielding feedstock. An additional method is disclosed which involves making an aggregate comprising a carbon phase and a silicon-containing species phase using multi-stage reactor having at least three stages for introducing a feedstock, wherein at least one of the feedstocks comprises a carbon black-yielding feedstock and wherein at least one of the feedstocks comprises a silicon-containing compound. Besides producing the aggregate comprising a carbon phase and a silicon-containing species phase, silica and/or carbon black may also result from the processes of the present invention. A further method is disclosed which involves making an aggregate comprising a carbon phase and a metal-containing species phase using a multi-stage reactor having at least two stages for introducing feedstocks, wherein at least one of the feedstocks comprises a carbon black-yielding feedstock and where at least one of the feedstocks comprises a metal-containing compound. The aggregates of the present invention when incorporated into elastomeric compositions preferably lead to improved wet skid resistance and rolling resistance properties.

IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: A method of reducing isobaric interferences by transmitting ions from an ion source through an ion transmission device, typically a quadrupole collision cell, and then into an analyzing mass spectrometer, in which the collision cell is operated with a pass band which rejects intermediate ions which would otherwise tend to react to form isobaric interferences. Preferably ammonia is used as a reaction gas in the collision cell. Depending on the chemistry involved, the collision cell may be operated to set the low mass cutoff at an appropriate level, or more usually, the pass band will have both high and low mass cutoffs determined by applying both RF and DC to the collision cell. The collision cell may also be operated with a pass band to transmit ions into a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, thus limiting the mass range of ions entering the TOF and thereby improving the duty cycle of the TOF.
