Title: Cleaning the inside surface of ducts with solid carbon dioxide
Inventor: HORRIDGE GRAHAM
IPC: B24C1/00
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: A method of cleaning the inside surface of duct 2 by the application of granular carbon dioxide under pressure to the surface 2. Preferably the method employs a trolley 9 that can move along the duct 1, the trolley 9 mounting a rotatable nozzle 10 for application of the carbon dioxide. The nozzle 10 may be interchangeable and/or adjustable to after its distance from the inside surface of the duct 2. The carbon dioxide may be used in particular to remove grease deposits from kitchen extraction ducts etc.. The grease is hardened by the low temperature of the carbon dioxide and then dislodged by abrasive action of the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide sublimes, leaving no residue while the dislodged grease is easily extracted by methods such as suction or sweeping.

Title: Cuttings disposal system
Inventor: DIETZEN GARY HUGH
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of collecting drill cuttings recovered from a borehole drillng installation, said drill cuttings being substantially free from any well drilling fluid. The method comprises suctioning the drill cuttings 255 with a suction line 22 having an intake end portion (fig 6, 23) disposed in said drill cuttings, and transmitting them via the suction line to a valved hopper 231, that has an interior 232. A vacuum is maintained within the interior of the valved hopper, for substantially continuous suctioning of cuttings thereinto. Substantially continuous discharging of drill cuttings from the valved hopper into a plurality of holding tanks (fig 5, 252) is facilitated by the valve members 238 at the base of the hopper. Opening of said valve members is assisted by a hydraulically powered plunger 244 which operates periodically to force the cuttings through outlet 236 and into said holding tanks. Cuttings discharge from the valved hopper 231 may be interrupted momentarily, by means of the hopper valve, while cuttings discharge is transferred from one holding tank to another holding tank.

Title: Text-to-speech converter
Inventor: RONCA DAVID RANDALL
IPC: G10L13/04
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: A text-to-speech converter includes a text-to-text engine 202 receiving source text 203 converting the source text into speech data. A read mechanism 204 reads speech data from the text-to-speech engine 202 and writes the speech data to a buffer 206. A throttle mechanism 208 reads speech data from the buffer 206 and conveys the speech data to a playback operation 210. The throttle mechanism 208 triggers the read mechanism 204 to read data from the text-to-speech engine 202 and writes the speech data to the buffer 206 so that unread speech data in the buffer remains ahead of speech data read by the throttle mechanism by at least a predetermined amount. A similar throttling system (400), Fig.9 (not shown), throttles data from an audio or video source to a PC equipped with a desktop voice/video application over a limited bandwidth network such as the Internet or a PSTN. Application is to voice messaging systems.

Title: Paper feed in an electrophotographic printer
Inventor: LYDEGRAF CURT N VAN
IPC: G03G21/00
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: An electrophotographic printer (10) with modular scanner/copier (30) attached has a paper exit system for collating convenience copies separate from the printed pages from a host device's job, for example, a computer word-processing job. The exit system includes a first paper path and a second paper path joining at a junction (52), with a rotating member (42) that operates in the junction (52) to direct the paper to the first path or to the second path, either by contacting and turning the paper or by allowing the paper to proceed unobstructed. Preferably, one of the paths is a generally horizontal path (50), for allowing printed/copied papers to stack horizontally on a table surface or tray. Preferably, one of the paths is a generally vertical path (54), for allowing the papers to accumulate in a generally vertical storage slot. The rotating member (42) is controlled by an interrupt/queuing logic system and a mechanical switch (40) that automatically rotates the rotating member (42) when an interrupting convenience copy is started, so that the convenience copies will travel to the opposite path and housing port from those being used for the current, host's job. Once the interrupting job is done, the logic system again automatically switches the rotating member (42) back to its original position. A manual handle may also be used to move the rotating member (42) to a preferred position, so that the corresponding path and port may be used until an interrupting job is started. The paper exit system is preferably used with a modular scanner (30) that snaps or slides onto the outside of the printer (10) between, and not covering, the printer's two output ports.

Title: Elevated temperature dimensionally stable impact modified polyester with low gas permeability
Inventor: DALGEWICZ EDWARD J
IPC: B29C51/00
Filed: 1993-02-03
Abstract: Polyester composition with improved impact properties, improved oxygen permeability and improved dimensional skrinkage during heating. Impact modifiers are dissolved into a molten polyester to form a eutectic alloy. On slow cooling, the eutectic alloy of the invention freezes to form a mixture of particles of the impact modifier embedded in a matrix of the polyester. By controlling the solidification of the melt, the size and distribution of the precipitates from the melt can be controlled, which allows control of the mechanical properties. The precipitation can also be controlled either by homogenous nucleation or by heterogeneous nucleation through the addition of a nucleating agent or the introduction of a suitable surface for nucleation. The invention also provides a process of manufacturing the above polyester, an article comprising this polyester and a process for making this article. The crystalline polyester article is useful as a container for microwavable, ovenable and/or frozen foods, and has improved gas barrier properties, impact strength, and post-mold dimensional stability between -60  DEG C and 200  DEG C.
