Title: Combined microwave popcorn popper, popcorn container, popcorn kernel separator, seed sifter and microwave food steamer
Inventor: ROSENAU DEAN W
IPC: H05B6/80
Filed: 1994-09-19
Abstract: This  is an invention that  is used to pop popcorn in a microwave oven, separates the unpopped or partially popped popcorn kernels from the popped popcorn kernels, is a container to eat the popped popcorn from, serves as a seed sifter for a plurality of different sized seeds and can be used to steam food in the microwave. The invention consists of a large main body container in which the popcorn can be popped within, a lid that fits over the said container, that should be in place when cooking the popcorn in the microwave oven; a bottom of the main body container that has a multitude of open slots, of specified width and length, that allow unpopped popcorn kernels, partially popped popcorn kernels or seeds to pass through. A slot cover, that slides into two guide tracks at the underside of the said bottom, that covers the slot openings. There are a multitude of slot covers whose purpose are to restrict the size of the slot openings in said bottom. A smaller base container fastens to the bottom of the large main body container by means  of  a  threaded  clockwise  fastener,  that  is  attached permanently to the base of the main body container. The fastener has a slot cover opening in its side, in which the slot covers slide through, into the guide tracks, covering or restricting the slot openings.  When using the invention to steam food in the microwave the base container is filled with water, when the water heats up while microwaving, steam passes through the slot openings, steaming the food. All these elements combine to result in seedless popcorn, a method of separating a multitude of seeds from their associated matter and a method of steaming food in the microwave.

Filed: 1995-01-18
Abstract: Pour préparer des solutions de polymère contenant de grandes quantités de particules solides dont une partie au moins est constituées par des matériaux à surface spécifique ou capacité d'absorption d'huile élevées, on cobroie tout d'abord le mélange de particules dans un solvant non polaire. On sèche le mélange cobroyé jusqu'à l'obtention d'une poudre sèche de particules réagglomérées, qu'on disperse dans une solution comportant un polymère et éventuellement un sel. Des quantités élevées de particules solides peuvent ainsi être dispersées tout en maintenant de bonnes propriétés rhéologiques de la solution et une faible porosité des films obtenus par épandage de cette solution. Ce procédé peut être utilisé pour fabriquer des films minces d'électrode positive pour les accumulateurs a électrolyte polymère (ACEP) et plus généralement dans l'industrie des peintures et des bandes magnétiques.

IPC: A61C5/11
Filed: 1995-03-10
Abstract: A kit, a tool, and a method of use for securely retaining a dental restoration on a prepared tooth stub having a top surface and a bore extending therein.  The kit comprises plural dental posts of varying sizes and a tool.   Each dental post includes an enlarged head and a shank.  The shank is an elongated member having a first longitudinal axis arranged to be fixedly secured within the stub's bore so that the post's enlarged head extends beyond the stub's top surface.  The enlarged head has plural through passageways, e.g., a coronal passageway, and a transverse passageway that communicate with one another for receipt of a setable securement medium which flows therein and about the surface of the head to secure the dental restoration to the post.  The tool includes a handle portion and an opposed pair of free end tips.   Each free end tip is shaped to be inserted  and  frictionally  received  within  the  transverse passageway of selected ones of the dental posts of the kit to releasably mount the selected dental post on the tool.   The tool's handle portion is arranged to be grasped in the hand of a user to carry the post to the prepared stub and to insert its shank into the bore so that its enlarged head is located above the top surface of the tooth stub.   The tool can then be manipulated to release the frictional engagement between its free end tip and the dental post to enable the tool to be removed, leaving the dental post in place.  The dental restoration can then be secured to the post's enlarged head.

Title: Spherical mirror grazing incidence x-ray optics
Inventor: CASH WEBSTER C JR
IPC: G02B5/08
Filed: 1995-05-11
Abstract: An optical system for x-rays combines at least two spherical or near spherical mirrors for each dimension in  grazing incidence orientation to provide the functions of a lens in the x-ray region.  To focus x-ray radiation in both the X and the Y dimensions, one of the mirrors focusses the X dimension, a second mirror focusses the Y direction, a third mirror corrects the X dimension by removing comatic aberration and a fourth mirror corrects the Y dimension. Spherical aberration may also be removed for an even better focus.  The order of the mirrors is unimportant.
