Title: Shopping cart receiver alarm system
Inventor: MACINTYRE DANIEL C
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 1993-10-13
Abstract: A shopping cart receiver alarm system includes an RF transmitter for transmitting an RF signal having at least a minimum signal strength within a boundary that is generally defined by the outermost contours of a store parking lot. A receiver assembly responsive to the RF signal is housed within the handle of a shopping cart. The receiver assembly includes a self-contained power supply, an RF receiver for receiving the RF signal and for providing an output signal indicating a loss of RF signal strength. The receiver assembly further includes a timing circuit and an audible alarm responsive to an alarm signal generated by the timing circuit. The alarm signal controls the audible alarm according to a selectable alarm timing sequence that is initiated by the output signal of the RF receiver.      According to the alarm timing sequence, the timing circuit activates the audible alarm for a first period of time, inactivates the audible alarm for a selectable grace period of time to encourage return of the shopping cart, and, if the shopping cart is not returned, the audible alarm is thereafter continuously activated. The audible alarm is immediately inactivated at any time during the alarm timing sequence if the shopping cart is returned within the boundary.

Title: Ion beam gun
Inventor: AHONEN ROBERT G
IPC: H01J27/16
Filed: 1992-12-11
Abstract: The present invention discloses an ion beam gun wherein the ions are produced by radio-frequency excitation. A plasma is created in a vessel (100), or chamber, by ionizing gas molecules by means of a coil (230) about the outside of the vessel. The coil (230) receives radio-frequency energy which ionizes the gas molecules. The inside of the vessel contains an anode (242, 244) and resonator (250) to assist in shaping and containing the plasma. The resonator (250) acts as an internal electrode to produce eddy currents generated by the radio-frequency energy to enhance the plasma. A  multi-apertured screen grid (260) also helps contain and shape the plasma within the chamber while a multi-apertured accelerator grid (262) is used to extract the ions from the ion beam gun.

Title: Top entry flow control valve with two sets of orifices
Inventor: WOODS JOHN B
IPC: F16K27/04
Filed: 1994-04-29
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A top entry flow control valve having a body with an inlet port, an outlet port and an access opening.  The body has a cavity connected with the access opening and communicating with the inlet port and outlet port to allow fluid flow through the valve body.   A pair of discs with orifices are positioned within the cavity to control flow into the outlet port by rotating one of the discs to change the degree of alignment between the disc orifices.          A sleeve, a wear sleeve and a rotatable cylinder are located within the cavity to control flow from the inlet port.  The sleeve and the cylinder both have side walls with a set orifices.  One disc is secured within the open end of the rotatable cylinder and the other disc is secured to the wear sleeve.  By rotating the cylinder, the alignments of the sleeve orifices with the cylinder orifices and of the orifices of the two discs are changed to control flow through the valve.  A cover is removably attached over the access opening and secures the sleeve, the cylinder, the wear sleeve and the discs in the cavity.  The cylinder and wear sleeve have sets of flanges or threads which cooperate to allow the cylinder and wear sleeve to be installed into and removed from the valve body separately or together.  The valve may also be constructed without the sleeve.

Title: Pressure resistant reinforcing means for containers for materials to be microwave heated
Inventor: BENNETT JONATHAN P
IPC: G01N1/44
Filed: 1994-05-11
Abstract: Containers for materials which are to be microwave heated, such as in digesting or extracting operations, are made of thermo-plastic material, such as a fluoropolymer, e.g., TEFLON® PFA, that is strengthened by reinforcing means that may be a fiber reinforced thermoplastic of high tensile strength, such as polyetherimide, e.g., ULTEM®, with reinforcing continuous fibers in a matrix of such thermo- plastic, which fibers are preferably of glass or other heat resistant and microwave transmissive material. The containers may be strengthened by incorporating the fiber reinforced thermoplastic in a wall. or walls of the container or by inserting the container into a reinforcement, which is a sleeve or collar of the reinforced thermo-plastic. In both such constructions the reinforcing means protects the container against peripheral or radial failure due to pressure that is generated by the microwave heating of the container contents. Also described are processes for manufacturing the described reinforcing means and for utilizing containers proteoted by such means.

Title: Apparatus and methods for detecting imbalance
Inventor: SCOURTES GEORGE
IPC: G01M1/22
Filed: 1994-06-15
Abstract: APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING IMBALANCE              ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION         An internal combustion engine having a rotary crankshaft and pistons reciprocable in cylinders is tested for imbalance by suspending the engine from above to preclude vertical displacement of the engine and clamping the engine horizontally to preclude horizontal displacement thereof.  Force sensors act on the engine to detect both vertical and horizontal forces imposed on the engine in response to rotation of the crankshaft by a crankshaft driver and resulting reciprocation of the pistons at speeds sufficient to cause the imposition of horizontal and vertical forces on the engine by a moving, unbalanced mass.  The forces may be measured and oriented to enable the imbalance to be corrected.  The cylinders are evacuated during rotation of the crankshaft to avoid the imposition of loads on the moving parts of the engine during the test.  Changes in torque due to changes in the speed of rotation of the crankshaft may be detected by load cells which are responsive to rocking movements of the crankshaft driver.
