Title: Pad and sheet tacking ironing board cover
Inventor: MATTESKY HENRY
IPC: D06F83/00
Filed: 1994-09-23
Abstract: A cover for an ironing board has a sheet and a stretchable pad. The sheet has a front nose, a back and an underside and is shaped to cover the ironing board. This sheet has a marginal draw string for marginally securing the sheet to the ironing board.  The stretchable pad has a shape complimenting the sheet. This pad is tacked to the underside of the sheet at a pair of spaced locations at the front nose and the back to partially allow the pad to slide relative to the sheet.  Thus the pad can settle wrinkle-free on the ironing board with a degree of independence from the cover, and without a full barrier between the sheet and the pad.

Title: Lignin in wood composites
Inventor: ASH JACOB
IPC: C08L97/00
Filed: 1993-04-09
Abstract: Novel adhesives for wood composites are described. The adhesives comprise a novel combination of an organosolv lignin and a phenol-formaldehyde resin in a weight ratio of from about 0.5:99.5 to about 70:30 based on phenolic solids in said phenol-formaldehyde resin. The adhesives further comprise a modifier which improves the performance of the adhesive. Adhesives comprising an organosolv lignin and a liquid phenol-formaldehyde resin are also described. The organosolv lignin solution is comprised in either an alkaline solution or in a dispersion. Adhesives wherein the organosolv lignin is phenolated or methylolated prior to incorporation with the phenol-formaldehyde resin are also described. Wood composites such as plywood, waferboard, oriented strandboard, particleboard, wallboard and molded products were manufactured using the adhesives of the invention. Results of board testing demonstrate that the wood composites of the invention are competitive with wood composites manufactured using commercial adhesives.

Patent CA-2136420-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGATA MANABU
IPC: C08L101/00
Filed: 1993-05-10
Abstract: ABSTRACT      The present invention is concerned with a high water-absorbent resin composition, produced by forming a composite by fusing or fixing a thermoplastic resin onto a surface of a high water-absorbent resin via an adhesive binder or directly, wherein the composition comprises from 1 to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin, based on 100 parts by weight of the high water-absorbent resin.    When the high water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention is used, it is possible to securely adhere a high water-absorbent resin to a fibrous base material, so that a water-absorbent material which stably retains the high water-absorbent resin even after absorbing water can be obtained.  Accordingly, the base materials, such as fibrous base materials, can retain more amount of high water-absorbent resin than those of conventional water-absorbent materials.  Thus, it is possible to provide water-absorbent composites suitable for various applications, including hygienic materials, such as paper diapers and sanitary napkins, and agricultural, horticultural, food, and other industrial materials.

Title: Measurement of stand-off distance and drilling fluid sound speed while drilling
Inventor: WARNER KEVIN L
IPC: E21B47/08
Filed: 1994-11-29
Abstract: An MWD measuring apparatus and technique using a single transducer mounted on an MWD drill collar near a tubular member, such as an upset or stabilizer blade.      The minimum stand-off is the radial difference between the MWD drill collar and the tubular member when the drillstring is side-walled against the borehole wall.      Control apparatus connected to the transducer determines elapsed time for each pulse transmitted towards and reflected from the borehole wall. A plurality of round-trip transit time (RTT) values are measured and the results statistically analyzed to identify and verify the RTT min value corresponding to the minimum stand-off distance. The RTT values may be analyzed directly or using histogram techniques. Once determined, the sound speed of the drilling fluid is calculated as twice the radial difference between the MWD collar and stabilizer blade or upset divided by the RTT min value. Also, the sound speed is used to calculate the stand-off distance corresponding to other RTT values, if desired.

Title: Test for periodontitis and susceptibility thereto
Inventor: WILLIAMS DAVID M
IPC: C12Q1/02
Filed: 1993-05-27
Abstract: Periodontitis and susceptibility thereto is tested by measuring the change in morphology of a sample of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the patient at a predetermined time after incubation thereof with supernatant from a virulent strain of Porphyromonas gingivalis and comparing the result with that from a sam-ple of PMNs from a healthy patient. Since loss of polarisation corresponds to a loss of actin which is bound by phalloidin, the change can be measured by observing adecrease in fluorescence of fluorescently labelled phalloidin in the sample. In seri-ous cases there is a complete loss of fluorescence.

Abstract: La scie circulaire comprend un disque porteur et une pluralité de dents de scie se fixant à l'horizontal sur les faces du disque en bordure de sa périphérie externe et s'étendant à intervalle régulier autour du disque porteur. Chacune des dents a la forme d'une plaque mince pourvue d'au moins deux pointes tranchantes disposées à égale distance de l'axe central de la dent. Chacune des dents est fixée et bloquée sur le disque de façon à ce qu'au moins une pointe tranchante s'avance en saillie de la bordure périphérique et de façon à ce qu'il lui soit impossible de tourner autour de son axe central.  Cette scie circulaire a l'avantage de permettre  de  modifier  facilement  la  position  d'une  ou plusieurs dents de scie en cas de bris d'une des pointes tranchantes. La position des dents peut être modifiée par simple démontage et rotation de la dent de scie autour  de son axe central, de manière à ce qu'une autre de ses pointes tranchantes non brisée se trouve en saillie de la bordure périphérique. La dent est ensuite rebloquée et à ce moment l'opération de sciage peut se poursuivre. Cette scie avec des  dents  multi-pointes  ajustables  permet  donc  un remplacement rapide de ses dents endommagées et cela, à un coût raisonnable.

Title: A method of raising objects from the sea b
Inventor: STANGROOM JAMES E
IPC: B63C7/10
Filed: 1992-07-22
Abstract: A flexible envelope, of fabric, plastic sheet or similar material, is made buyoant by being filled with water of lower salinity than the surrounding medium, and used to lift loads underwater. The lift can be generated in situ by pumping water into the enve-lope after it has been attached to the load through a hose from the surface, and reduced by either releasing the water from within the envelope or pumping it back to the surface again. By combining these two operations, the lift can be exactly controlled. Sever-al envelopes can be used to lift a single load, and the load itself can be made up of small objects placed in a suitable container by other means. The envelopes may be towed into position, or may be provided with their own means of propulsion.
