Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite flexible
hose, preferably for use in automotive air conditioning
systems, with improved thermal resistance. The hose
consists of an innermost core layer, a friction rubber
layer, an intermediate reinforcement layer, and an external
cover layer. The innermost layer is a non-plasticized
polyamide mixed with a minor portion of polyolefin
corresponding to the main rubber constituent of the
friction coat layer. The friction coating is formed of a
rubber composite of two EPDM rubbers at a weight ratio of
50/50 and 75 parts by weight of carbon black. The
intermediate fibrous reinforcement layer is formed of
aramid. The external layer is an acrylate rubber
comprising a blend of two ethylene acrylates at a weight
ratio of 50/50 and 80 parts by weight of carbon black.

Abstract: The rim lip has an annular chamber(10) with an opening(24) forming a seat for the tire bead area(6). Axial movement of a clamping ring(12) with a bearing face clamps or releases the bead from a corresponding supporting surface of the rim(1). The clamping ring is held in position by a wire or cord ring(30) which engages with corresponding grooves(31,32) in the rim and clamping ring and prevents relative axial movement between these parts. Independent claims are made for:- (1) a method for attaching the tire on the rim in which the tire bead(6) is inserted into an annular opening(24) of a hollow chamber(10) in the rim lip and clamped by an axially moving clamping ring(12) held in position by inserting a wire or cord(30) into circumferential grooves(31,32) in both rim(1) and clamping ring(12); (2) a method for detaching a tire from a rim in which the wire or cord is removed first allowing the clamping ring and the tire to be dismantled from the rim. Preferred Features: The locking wire or cord is inserted into the circumferential grooves through an opening running from an outer surface of the rim or clamping ring into the grooves.

Abstract: An electrochemical device for separating oxygen from an oxygen-containing gas
comprises a plurality of planar ion-conductive solid electrolyte plates and electrically-conductive
gas-impermeable interconnects assembled in a multi-cell stack. Electrically-conductive
anode and cathode material is applied to opposite sides of each electrolyte
plate. A gas-tight anode seal is bonded between the anode side of each electrolyte
plate and the anode side of the adjacent interconnect. A regulating electrode, applied to
the anode side of each electrolyte plate between the anode seal and the edge of the
anode, eliminates anode seal failure by maintaining the 24-hour anode seal power
density below about 1.5 µW/cm 2 . A gas-tight seal is applied between the cathode sides
of each electrolyte plate and the adjacent interconnect such that the anode and cathode
seals are radially offset on opposite sides of the plate. The combination of regulating
electrodes and offset seals is particularly effective in eliminating anode seal failure.

Inventor: GRAVES ALAN FRANK
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1999-04-07
Abstract: An improved access system for use in a Fiber-In-The-Loop
(FITL) communications network is disclosed. The access
system comprises a host digital terminal (HDT) and a plurality
of subtending optical network units (ONUs). The digital signal
processing (DSP) functions traditionally executed by line
interface units (LIUs) within the ONUs are migrated to the HDT,
rendering the individual ONUs simpler, cheaper and more
reliable. This is made possible by the provision in each ONU
of an oversampling codec for sampling (and conversion) of
upstream and downstream data at a very high bit rate. The
large bandwidths of the data communicated between the ONUs and
the HDT are easily handled by the fiber optic medium
therebetween. In the HDT, DSP functions are executed by a
common pool, or bank, of DSP ASICs. Decimators are provided in
the HDT in order to properly format the data for processing by
the DSPs. Interpolators are provided in the HDT for creating a
high rate bit stream that can be easily converted to analog
format by a codec. A high degree of processing efficiency can
be achieved by reducing complex processing tasks to a sequence
of individual steps through the DSP bank and rerouting the
result of each step through the bank. Such "hair pinning" can
be performed in either the upstream (subscriber-to-core-network)
or downstream (core-network-to-subscriber) directions.
Optionally, decimators and interpolators can be provided in
the LIUs.

Abstract: A higher performance cutter for use in drilling, mining
and quarrying comprises an abrasive layer; a cemented carbide core bonded
to said abrasive layer; and a cemented carbide outer layer bonded to said
core; wherein the metal binder content of said core is less than the metal
binder content of said outer layer.. The carbide substrate of the PDC cutter
has improved adhesion of the diamond layer to the interface because of
maximizing the interface surface, a harder/stiffer center region to support
the diamond table, and a softer/tougher outer region to reduce the tendency
for cracking. The cutting action of this product can also be designed to
deploy a kerfing cutting action on the rock as the cutter develops a wear flat.
The transition from the diamond layer to the carbide can be accomplished
in a more symmetrical pattern that could be achieved through other
production methods. All interface surfaces can be produced with rounded
and curved surfaces such that there are no flat surfaces or straight lines
which would act as stress raisers.
