Title: Process for thermal treatment of waste material, especially refuse, and rotary drum furnace for carrying out the process
Inventor: RUEEGG HANS
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 1995-08-11
Abstract: Waste material (16), esp. refuse, is thermally treated by being conveyed through the drum (30) of a rotary kiln (1) and subjected to a gaseous oxidant (26) which forms flames (28) with the volatile constituents (27) of the waste above the material. The heat thus generated leads to the release of further volatile constituents. The solids sepd. from the volatiles are recovered as refuse-coke, and the volatile constituents are recovered as a combustible gas. Also claimed is an appts. having a rotary kiln with a lance (18) for the oxidant projecting into it, whereby the lance has outlets for the oxidant along its entire length.

Title: Apparatus and method for testing for holes in a prophylactic device
Inventor: SISBARRO FREDERICK P
IPC: A61F6/04
Filed: 1995-06-27
Abstract: Condoms and other sheaths are tested for holes by drawing the sheath over a hollow porous mandrel having smaller openings at its head end than in the rest of its body, providing a difference between the pressure within the mandrel and the pressure outside the condom, and comparing the rate of change of pressure within the mandrel with the rate of change of a reference pressure. The mandrel is shaped such that powder particles in the inner surface of the condom are moved toward the head of the mandrel where the smaller openings are when a condom is drawn onto it, for substantially preventing the powder from clogging the larger pores below the head region of the mandrel.

IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: When a vehicle is in a braking state, an oscillating
device such as a pump (40) applies oscillation to a seal member
(105) in a wheel cylinder. In detail, oscillation is applied
to the seal member (105) via brake fluid due to brake fluid
pressure pulsation caused by pumping operation of the pump
(40). As a result, since the seal member (105) has a kinetic
friction characteristic, a responsiveness from supplying brake
fluid to the wheel cylinder to the movement of the piston (102)
disposed in the wheel cylinder can be improved. Accordingly,
optimal brake force can be applied to the wheel.

IPC: H04L69/14

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for bidirectionally
coupling a first satellite communication system to a second
satellite communication system, wherein the first and
second systems operate with different protocols. In a
presently preferred embodiment of this invention the first
system uses a spread spectrum (SS), code division multiple
access (CDMA) technique wherein the satellites serve as
simple 'bent pipe' repeaters for relaying communications
between a user and a gateway. The second satellite
communication system may be any other type of system having
at least one characteristic that precludes direct
communication between the first and the second systems. In
an exemplary embodiment the second system uses a time
division multiple access (TDMA) technique, and furthermore
enables direct satellite-to-satellite communication links.
A ground-based protocol conversion unit (70) is positioned
for receiving a communication from a satellite of either
the first or the second system, and includes circuitry for
converting the transmission into a transmission that is
suitable for transmission into the other system. For
example, a SS-CDMA transmission is received from the first
system, is translated into a TDMA format, and is
transmitted into the second system. The communication may
then be relayed between at least two satellites of the
second system before being transmitted to a ground station
of the second system for connection to the local public
switched telephone network (PSTN). A hybrid communication
system in accordance with this invention is formed by
placing the protocol converter between two dissimilar
satellite-based communication systems, thereby linking the
two dissimilar systems for bidirectional voice and/or data
communications.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved process for producing
plastic containers with excellent resistance to permeation by solvents such as
hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon fuels, and hydrocarbon fuels with organic additives including
lower alkanols and ethers consistently and reliably. The process is related to a
treatment of plastic containers in a controlled manner with fluorine containing gases
while blow molding them. In the process of the present invention, an article of
manufacture, a container , is formed and subjected to fluorination by exposure to a
fluorination gas. After the fluorination, the container is quenched by exposing the
container to a fluorine reactive gas to react with the fluorine, thereby converting the
fluorine to a less reactive gas.

Abstract: A method and a system are provided for improved mail networking. A
call transfer condition is first detected. A call transfer condition occurs
immediately before a call is transferred to a first mail messaging system (56).
Communication then occurs between local call processor (20) and remote call

common protocol of both the second mail messaging system (16) and the first
mail messaging system (56). If a common protocol is supported, the call is
transferred to local voice mail system (16). The user (12) then provides a
message which is received by the second mail messaging system (16). This
message is automatically forwarded to the first mail messaging system (56) at
a later time.

Abstract: An air conditioner having an improved humidifying
portion to humidify air in a room is provided. The
humidifying portion includes a humidifying member (2)
having hygroscopicity and gas permeability, a first air
flow passage (T 0 , T 1 ) for taking in air from the room,
passing the air through the humidifying member (2), allowing
the humidifying member (2) to absorb moisture included in the
air for drying, and letting out the air outdoors, and a
second air flow passage (T 0 , T 2 ) for taking in air from the
room, passing the air through the humidifying member (2) while
heating the air (11), allowing the moisture absorbed by the
humidifying member (2) to evaporate and humidify the air and
letting out the air into the room. Thus, only a single air
intake opening for humidifying indoor air is necessary on
the indoor side, the structure of the air conditioner can
be simplified and compact, which makes easier the
attachment. If the air conditioner is apart from the
outdoors, outdoor air does not have to be taken in, the
blowing load and the noise level can be reduced, and
reduced power consumption is required compared to a
conventional device.

Abstract: The invention is embodied in a method of processing a
semiconductor workpiece in a plasma reactor chamber,
including supplying a polymer and etchant precursor gas
containing at least carbon and fluorine into the chamber at
a first flow rate sufficient of itself to maintain a gas
pressure in the chamber in a low pressure range below about
20mT, supplying a relatively non-reactive gas into the
chamber at second flow rate sufficient about one half or
more of the total gas flow rate into the chamber, in
combination with the first flow rate of the precursor gas,
to maintain the gas pressure in the chamber in a high
pressure range above 20mT, and applying plasma source power
into the chamber to form a high ion density plasma having an
ion density in excess of 10 10  ions per cubic centimeter. In
one application of the invention, the workpiece includes an
oxygen-containing overlayer to be etched by the process and
a non-oxygen-containing underlayer to be protected from
etching, the precursor gas dissociating in the plasma into
fluorine-containing etchant species which etch the oxygen-containing
layer and carbon-containing polymer species which
accumulate on the non-oxygen-containing underlayer.
Alternatively, the high pressure range may be defined as a
pressure at which the skin depth of the inductive field
exceeds 1/10 of the gap between the inductive antenna and
the workpiece.
