Granted: 2009-08-18
Abstract: There are provided internally cross-linked, stable polymeric materials, in the form of substantially spherical particles, each particle consisting essentially of a single macromolecule. They have the unusual property of being soluble or dispersible in a liquid medium without significantly increasing the viscosity of the medium, rendering them potentially useful in imaging applications such as ink jet printers. They can be prepared by dissolving polymeric material in a solvent system to form a solution of the polymeric material at a concentration therein of less than the critical concentration for the polymer, causing the polymeric material to contract into an approximately spheroidal conformation in solution, cross-linking the polymeric material in solution in said spheroidal conformation so assumed, and recovering stable, cross-linked approximately spheroidal polymeric particles from the solution.

Title: Method for transmitting data in the access area
Inventor: BEYER GUNTER
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2001-07-11
Granted: 2011-10-25
Abstract: In state of the art baseband methods, the range in the access area decreases with increasing transmission speed. When a limit is reached with a predetermined distance and a selected speed, it is no longer possible to change over to an even greater speed. Otherwise, the synchronism between the transmitter and receiver is lost. The invention resolves this deficiency by combining the features of broadband technology with an acknowledged message exchange by means of which the parameters can be controlled between the transmitter and the receiver.

Title: Process for preparing aqueous dispersions of hybrid polyurethane particles
Inventor: BEDRI ERDEM
IPC: C08G18/40
Filed: 2001-11-02
Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: Dispersions of hybrid polyurethane particles are made using miniemulsion techniques. An isocyanate-terminated prepolymer and a monomer are mixed and dispersed in an aqueous phase to form a dispersion of droplets. All droplets are polymerized and chain-extended in one step to form hybrid particles containing a polyurethane and a polymer of the monomer. This process provides a simple method of making hybrid particles, in which particle size and the number of particles is controlled in the mixing step. The hybrid particles often have a coreshell morphology, with the polyurethan being concentrated in the shell and the polymer being concentrated in the center of the particle.

Abstract: A virtual address bar user interface control is presented. The virtual address bar includes a plurality of interactive segments, each segment corresponding to a predetermined filter for selecting content in a computer file system. Collectively, the interactive segments represent a virtual address for selecting content. Selecting an interactive segment in the virtual address bar causes those segments subsequent to the selected segment to be removed from the virtual address bar. A user may select a peer filter for a segment to replace that segment's current filter and removes those segments subsequent to the updated segment. The virtual address bar can be selectively configured to operate as a conventional address bar, and reconfigured to operate as a virtual address bar. Additional filter segments are added to the end of the existing filter segments. Those existing filter segments that conflict with the added segment are removed from the virtual address bar.

Abstract: A carriage with a front end and a rear end can be stowed in a truck box or truck platform, and deployed to a position on the ground behind the truck by providing a lift apparatus having a transfer arm with one end pivoted with respect to the truck and the other end pivoted to the front end of the carriage. Guides are mounted on the lift apparatus to guide the carriage during movement. The carriage has wheels adjacent the rear end, and a powered mechanism, typically hydraulic, is adapted to move the transfer arm between its two extreme positions. As the transfer arm begins to move away from the position in which the carriage is stowed in the truck, the front end of the carriage lifts upwardly while the carriage moves rearwardly, supported and guided by roller guides, until the wheels at the rear end of the carriage contact the surface on which the truck is standing. This causes the carriage to disengage from the roller guides and eventually the carriage comes to a stop resting on the surface. The current invention is designed for use in boxes of limited length. To establish as small a footprint as possible, the lift apparatus is configured with a folding transfer arm and a retractable guide means.

Title: Sound processing system with degraded signal optimization
Inventor: EID BRADLEY F
IPC: H04S3/00
Filed: 2003-07-30
Granted: 2012-02-21
Abstract: A sound processing system adaptively mixes active matrix decoding and passive matrix processing of incoming audio signals. Mixed output signals are generated with active matrix decoding where the audio signals are stereo. Mixed output signals are generated with passive matrix processing where the audio signals are monaural. The sound processing system reduces the degree of active matrix decoding in the mixed output signals where the incoming audio signals are stereo and monaural. The sound processing system also generates virtual stereo signals from incoming audio signals having monaural signals. Mixed output signals are generated of the virtual stereo signals using active matrix decoding.

Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: A reflector for reflecting light from an elongate light source (10A) into th e input end of a light guide (22A) having a diameter "D". The light source is inserted through the narrow end of a collimating reflector (16A) which has a wide end diameter exceeding "D", through which light is emitted into the guide. The wide end (34) of an output reflector (28) is circumjacent the collimating reflector's wide end. The output reflector's narrow end (36) is circumjacent the light guide's input end. The wide end (30) of an input reflector (26) is circumjacent the collimating reflector's narrow end. The reflectors are cylindrically symmetrical about axis (27). Light passing from the light source to the collimating reflector is reflected, producing an output beam whose width varies as a function of distance along the axis. The light guide's input end is positioned along the axis to minimize the output beam's width.
