Abstract: An expansion apparatus for expanding a portion of a tubular comprises at least two expansion members adapted for selective deployment against a wall of a tubular. The expansion apparatus may be controlled to select a first expansion member to be deployed and the apparatus operated to expand a section of the tubular. The deployed expansion member may then be inactivated or retracted, such that the expansion member is no longer deployed against the wall of the tubular or is otherwise rendered inoperative, and a second expansion member can then be deployed and a further section of the tubular expanded.

Abstract: An ink cartridge of the present invention has a storage element, in which plural pieces of specific information relating to an ink cartridge are stored at specific addresses that respectively occupy minimum bits required for storage. Namely the storage capacities required for storing the respective pieces of specific is information are different from one another. For example, a piece of information on the year of manufacture is registered in a data length of 7 bits, a piece of information on the month of manufacture is registered in a data length of 4 bits, and a piece of information on the date of manufacture is registered in a data length of 5 bits. A piece of information on the time (hour) of manufacture is registered in a data length of 5 bits, and a piece of information on the time (minute ) of manufacture is registered in a data length of 6 bits. A piece of information on the validity term of ink is registered in a data length of 6 bits, and a piece of information on the after-unsealed validity term is registered in a data length of 5 bits. This arrangement enables the specific information relating to the ink cartridge, for example, pieces of information on the manufacture of the ink cartridge and those on remaining quantities of the respective inks, to be stored efficiently into the storage element, while reducing the manufacturing cost of the ink cartridge.

Title: Panneau antibruit en verre acrylique
Inventor: SCHOLA EGBERT
IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 2003-06-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un panneau en verre acrylique destiné à être employé en tant qu'élément antibruit non transparent dans des murs antibruit. Ledit panneau présente une taille de 2 x 2 m ou plus, et une épaisseur supérieure à 8 mm, de préférence supérieure à 12 mm. Des fils, des bandes, des grillages ou des réseaux réalisés dans un matériau incompatible avec le verre acrylique sont intégrés dans ledit verre acrylique afin de lier les éclats en cas de rupture des panneaux, et ledit panneau présente une teneur de 40 à 80 % en poids de charges par rapport à son poids total (sans tenir compte des fils, bandes, grillages ou réseaux intégrés). Lesdites charges sont de préférence des extendeurs en talc et dolomite de préférence mélangés à de l'hydroxyde d'aluminium. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication de tels panneaux. Les panneaux en verre acrylique selon l'invention, présentant une forte teneur en charges, constituent une alternative économique à d'autres matériaux non transparents, peuvent être aisément combinés à des panneaux antibruit en verre acrylique transparents, et permettent du fait de leur densité de surface élevée, un degré de réduction sonore suffisant, malgré une épaisseur réduite. Par ailleurs, lesdits panneaux permettent l'utilisation de systèmes liant les éclats, tels que des fils de nylon ou d'acier, et appartiennent à la classe B2 en matière de tenue au feu, même à la classe B1 lorsque de l'hydroxyde d'aluminium est employé en tant que charge.

Title: Radio positioning system wit interference reduction
Inventor: ROWE ROBERT WILLEM
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: The present invention sets out to overcome the hearability problem in CDMA  communications networks in which positioning services are provided, by using a separate sampling device (204, 205, 206) for each transmitter (201, 202, 203), which sends to the computing device (208) a representation of the signals transmitted only by that transmitter. A cross-correlation of the representation sent back by the mobile terminal (207) with the representation sent back by the sampling device in the brightest transmitter is performed in the computing device (208), and a blurred estimate of that brightest signal is subtracted from a blurred version of the representation sent back by the mobile terminal (207) in order to reduce its effect on the remaining signals as far as possible. The cross-correlation and subtraction steps are iterated until no useful signals remain to be extracted.

Title: Motorized locking mechanism
Inventor: NUNEZ PAUL
IPC: E05B47/06
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: A motorized locking mechanism for locking and unlocking a device having a hu b rotatable by a handle about a hub axis. A reversible motor turns a threaded spring screw to move a locking spring and vertically drive a connecting arm between ocked and unlocked positions. A locking slide is mounted on an end o f the connecting arm so that it can pivot parallel to the hub axis. As the mot or drives the connecting arm to the locked position, the locking slide moves in to interfering engagement with the hub to lock the device. The pivoting motion of the locking slide protects the locking mechanism, and particularly the connecting arm, against damaging forces that can be applied by the rotating hub through the locking slide. If the locking slide is temporarily prevented from moving into or out of locking engagement with the hub, the motor may still turn and the locking spring subsequently moves the locking slide in th e desired direction without the necessity of reactivating the motor.
