Title: Concrete cross sleeper system
Inventor: FASTERDING GUENTER
IPC: E01B1/00
Filed: 1987-06-05
Granted: 1990-05-31
Abstract: Modern D.C.-tractioned trains and track circuit signal systems as well as high load trains need a special track construction. A new concrete cross sleeper system is provided for high load and high velocity tracks as well as for urban rapid transit systems comprising rails and sleepers having center part, connected to bar shaped ends and having reinforcing means. On the bar shaped ends two rail seats for each rail are positioned having elastic, electrically non-conducting plastic pads. The rails are fastened onto the rail seat by special tension means clamping the foot of the rail and fixed into plugs in the sleepers. This feature allows a triple point fixing of the rail at each sleeper end. Tracks on asphalt pavement may be secured by anchor device of the general type as sold under the trademark NELSON. The new track construction decreases the intermittent load of the rail/sleeper system and avoids trouble in track circuit signal systems existing in normally used prestressed concrete sleepers (FIG. 1).

Title: Liquefracture handpiece
Inventor: SUSSMAN GLENN
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2000-09-18
Granted: 2003-10-30
Abstract: A surgical handpiece having two coaxial tubes or channels mounted within a body. The first tube is used for aspiration and is smaller in diameter than the second tube so as to create an annular passage between the first and second tube. The annular passage communicates with a pumping chamber formed between two electrodes. The pumping chamber works by boiling a small volume of the surgical fluid. As the fluid boils, it expands rapidly, thereby propelling the liquid downstream of the pumping chamber out of the annular passage. The distal end of the annular gap is sealed by sealing together the distal ends of the first and second tube and a plurality or orifices or ports may be formed near the seal. As the expanding gas is propelled down the annular gap, the gas/liquid stream is forced out of the distal orifices in a controlled and directed manner.

Title: Support rack for pipette tips
Inventor: TAGGART THOMAS
IPC: B01L9/06
Filed: 1998-10-13
Granted: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A support is provided that is useful with a pipette tip holder for pipette tips. The support has a bottom member and a pair of opposed side walls that extend from the bottom member at least a distance (d). The bottom member and side walls form a cavity. Each side wall defines a slot. The slots are in a facing relationship and extend along a support plane that is parallel to and spaced from the bottom member the distance (d). The slot ends are open on one side so as to receive the pipette tip holder when slidingly inserted into the slots. The side walls preferably include an aligning member adjacent to the open slot end so that the pipette tip holder is aligned in the slots when slid in. Thus, the support supports the pipette tips and pipette tip holder during the pipette tip removal process and resists inadvertent dislodging and lifting of the tips and holder as the tips are removed.

IPC: C22C29/12
Filed: 1987-09-14
Abstract: A method is provided for producing a self-supporting ceramic body comprising a polycrystalline material comprised of the oxidation reaction product of a parent metal (10) and having therein one or more channels which inversely replicate the geometry of a configured fugitive metal (6). The method includes providing an assembly of the configured fugitive metal (6) and the parent metal (10), optionally including a bed of permeable filler (4), and heating the assembly to form a body of molten parent metal. The molten parent metal is oxidized under selected conditions to grow the polycrystalline material to engulf the configured fugitive metal (6) (and to infiltrate the filler (4), if the filler (4) is present) and to cause the fugitive metal (6) to disperse into the engulfing polycrystalline material thereby leaving behind as the one or more channels the space formerly occupied by the configured fugitive metal (6). The method provides self-supporting ceramic bodies having therein one or more channels inversely replicating the shape of the configured fugitive metal (6).

Title: Gauge for measuring adhesive strength of paints - has angled knife blade with calibrated spring tension adjustable by movable collar
IPC: G01N3/00
Filed: 1969-11-07
Abstract: The gauge is for measuring the adhesion strength of paints and coatings and comprises an aluminium holder (1) with angled pressure pad (2) which allows the gauge to move over the surface under test. The holder has an inner cylinder in which moves a piston (8) to which is attached a hardened knife blade (10) with 80 [deg.] cutting profile. The piston and blade are held against a stop at the outer end of the tube by a coil spring (5). The piston axis is at an angle of approx. 10 [deg.] to the surface of the test material. The spring tension may be increased by moving an adjustable collar (11) further down the tube to compress the spring. The setting at which the knife blade causes the paint layer to be peeled when the gauge is pushed forward over the surface, can be read off a scale (13) on the handle.

Title: Reducing refractory wear in electric smelt- - ing furnaces
Inventor: KOCKS FRIEDRICH DR-ING
IPC: C21B13/12
Filed: 1969-12-02
Abstract: Refractory wear at the slag line of an electric furnace is minimised by imparting a swirling motion to the melt to carry the slag away from the furnace wall towards the electrodes at the centre. The motion may be induced by induction coils outside the furnace or by the injection of a reducing or inert gas through porous plugs in the bottom. The rotary motion speeds up reactions between slag and melt and is partic. designed for use when smelting iron ore.

Abstract: Subgingival plaque samples can be analyzed for the presence of the trypsin substrate N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-2-naphthylamide (BANA) in order to make a clinical diagnosis of periodontal disease. The solid phase test utilizes enzyme sensitive reagents adsorbed separately onto two elements. The sample is added to one element, the second element contacted therewith and water is added to initiate the reaction. The resulting analysis is complete within thirty minutes. Positive tests indicating periodontal disease-causing organisms are determined by a color change on the element containing the Fast Black K salt color developer. The test provides a stable, readable, permanent record which can be included in the patient's dental records.

Abstract: Encoded data is reversely reproduced by decoding each picture only once and using only as many frame memory sections as are needed in a normal playback operation. A picture header detector (34) detects a picture header from data read out from a video code buffer (10) to identify the type of picture. The picture type information controls a picture data selecting circuit (35) for selecting frames of I and P pictures equal in number to the number of frame memory sections in a frame memory bank (16). The selected frames are supplied to an inverse VLC circuit (11) to be decoded, starting at the head of a GOP with an I picture. The decoded I and P pictures are stored in the frame memory bank (16) and transmitted to a display unit (18), starting with the temporally most recent picture and reading backward.

Patent JP-2673490-B2 (JP)
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 1994-02-14
Granted: 1997-11-05
Abstract: Known optical noise sources are equipped with a light source and an interference filter, optically coupled thereto and based on path length difference, for generating an optical composition signal. If the spectrum of a photodiode to be illuminated with the optical composition signal is to be as flat as possible, said path length difference must be considerably greater than the coherence length of the light source which in present practice leads to disadvantageously large path length differences. By feeding, according to the invention, a noise signal to the light source, the coherence length of the light source decreases, as a result of which it is sufficient to use considerably smaller path length differences. <IMAGE>
