Title: Low density reinforced reaction injection moulding
Inventor: BROWN BARI W
IPC: C08G18/50
Filed: 1997-06-19
Abstract: A low-density rigid polyurethane reinforced reaction injection molding (RRIM) has flaked glass dispersed as a filler component in a matrix made by reacting one or more polyisocyanates with a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol composition containing hydroxyl functional tertiary amine polyether polyols, a blowing agent, a polyurethane/isocyanate-promoting catalyst and optionally surfactants, chain extenders, and stabilizers. The flaked glass comprises at least 20 weight percent of the filler component, which comprises up to 20 weight percent of the total composition, and the molding has a specific gravity of less than 1.0 and a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of 4.0 x 10<SP>-5</SP> or less. Parts made from the RRIM are a low-cost alternative to glass fiber reinforced low density parts and exhibit not only a relatively low coefficient of linear thermal expansion but also relatively high temperature deflection properties as compared to RRIM parts made with other known fillers.

Title: Impeller for a hair dryer or accessory
Inventor: HERZOG KARL
IPC: F01D5/03
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: An impeller 1 for a hair dryer or a hair dryer accessory device, such as a pulsator with a pulsator screen 4, includes an impeller blade 6 by means of which the impeller 1 is adapted to be set in rotation about an axis 3 by a current of air. The impeller blade 6 possesses variable aerodynamic properties (effective surface) which is variable in response to the rotational frequency of the impeller blade 6. In particular the free end 7 of the impeller blade 6 is of an elastic configuration, causing it to be bent more or less severely under the action of centrifugal force thus enabling the rotational frequency of the impeller (1) to be maintained at an approximately constant value. The impeller may comprise two propelling blades (15,16,) (fig. 4) and a brake blade (17), the latter having an elastic free end stetchable under centrifugal loading. Alternatively a single impeller blade (25, figs. 8-11)(36, figs. 13-14) has a propelling zone or part (27,38) and an elastic braking zone or part (28,39).

Title: Signal transmission and reception
Inventor: OKITA RYOJI
IPC: H04L27/227
Filed: 1997-10-16
Abstract: Transmission apparatus applied as a modem connected to a private branch exchange discriminates coordinates of an analog signal inputted thereto on a two-dimensional coordinate plane and transmits the signal, whose coordinates have been discriminated, as a digital signal. The transmission apparatus includes a frequency shifting section (202A) for performing frequency shifting for the inputted analog signal so that a tone signal of a single frequency may be a dc signal, and a coordinate discrimination section (202B) for discriminating coordinates on the two-dimensional coordinate plane of the analog signal for which the frequency shifting by the frequency shifting section (202A) has been performed. A single tone signal is transmitted without suffering from deterioration of the S/N ratio.

Title: User identification for set-top box
Inventor: CHEONG SEONG-HAK
IPC: H04N21/4415
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: The face of a service user is matched with a subscriber model in a video-on-demand system. Transmitted service information is provided to a matched user through a descrambling control of a set-top box. The subscriber's face is extracted from an image signal of the subscriber authorized to utilize the information provided from a service provider. The characteristics of the extracted face are extracted using a luminosity of the image signal and stored as model data. The characteristics of the user's face are also extracted from the image signal of the service user, which is inputted through a camera 100. Matching of the two extracted characteristics is checked. When the user matches the subscriber model, descrambling of the transmitted image information is implemented by the set-top box.

Title: System and method for creating or editing mutimedia presentation
Inventor: HOLDEN IAN GRAHAM
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: Provided are a method and a system for reducing re-rendering time for multimedia presentations following changes to input media components or to presentation-defining script information. The method involves automatically segmenting the presentation, determining which segments have changed as a result of changes to input media components or to script information such as frame location (time) or screen position, and then controlling subsequent rendering such that only changed segments are re-rendered. Animations are composited separately from still graphics and the segmentation and rendering is performed separately for each media type. Automated segmenting and determining of which parts of a presentation need re-rendering reduces rendering time and so speeds development while avoiding the effort and scope for human error of performing the same steps manually.

Title: Restraining means
Inventor: KATO HISANORI
IPC: A44B18/00
Filed: 1998-04-07
Abstract: A restraining member 4 comprises a hook 14 and strap 12 formed from hook and loop members. The restraining means 4 bridges a gap between two poles 6, 8 of a pallet. An arrangement of support members within the hook 4 ensures that no excess tension is felt by welded regions 34 of the strap 12. This provides the advantage that the strap 12 is unlikely to snap when a large tension is placed along the strap 12, working in such a way that the support members urge together the strap portions where the strap end is welded back on itself, or where the main strap is under tension the tension in the welded region is reduced by the support members.

Title: Replacement wall tie
Inventor: FORD GERALD
IPC: E04G23/02
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A wall tie comprises an elongate rigid member (2), at both ends of which expansion elements (12,28) are mounted. In use, holes are drilled in the leafs of the wall and the wall tie inserted into the holes so that the expansion elements lie inside the holes. The expansion elements are then actuated in sequence from an unexpanded state to an expanded state by use of a tool which moves an expansion control element to secure the expansion elements to the interior of the holes. This is achieved by turning a nut (32) with the tool which causes the first expansion element (12) to expand before subsequent expansion of the second expansion element (28). A drip ring (4) is also provided on the elongate rigid member.
