Title: Integral resilient badge and sucker
Inventor: MORGAN GRANT KENNEDY
IPC: G09F7/12
Filed: 2000-03-07
Granted: 2003-12-04
Abstract: The invention provides a resilient, moulded figure, intended for fun and/or decoration, which can be temporarily stuck, by means of a sucker, to flat surfaces such as window panes, refrigerator doors, bathroom tiles, children's blackboards, etc., and aims to address particularly, with children's safety in mind, the security with which the sucker is attached to the figure.

Title: Method and apparatus for introducing controlled spin in optical fibers
Inventor: BLASZYK PAUL E
IPC: C03B37/12
Filed: 1997-07-03
Granted: 2001-11-29
Abstract: Optical fiber is provided with a periodically reversing spin while the fiber is pulled through a melt zone. A cooled region of the fiber downstream from the melt zone passes between a pair of opposed elements. The opposed elements are moved so that surface regions engaging the fiber move in opposite lateral directions relative to one another, thus spinning the fiber about its axis. The lateral movement of the engaged surface portions is periodically reversed to reverse the spin direction. The opposed elements may include belts or rollers, which can be tilted to orientations oblique to the longitudinal direction of the fiber.

IPC: D01D5/08
Filed: 1985-07-17
Granted: 1988-09-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus wherein there is provided a source (11) of fiber forming material, with said fiber forming material being pumped into a die (23) having a plurality of spinnerets about its periphery. The die (23) is rotated at a predetermined adjustable speed, whereby the liquid is expelled from the die (23) so as to form fibers (25). it is preferred that the fiber forming material be cooled as it is leaving the holes in the spinnerets during drawdown. The fibres (25) may be used to produce fabrics, fibrous tow and yarn through appropriate take-up systems. The pumping system (14) provides a pumping action whereby a volumetric quantity of liquid is forced into the rotational system independent of viscosity or the back pressure generated by the spinnerets and the manifold system of the spinning head, thus creating positive displacement feeding. Positive displacement feeding may be accomplished by the extruder alone or with an additional pump of the type generally employed for this purpose. A rotary union is provided for positive sealing purposes during the pressure feeding of the fiber forming material into the rotating die (23).

Title: Photoactive pyrite layer and process for making and using same
Inventor: TRIBUTSCH HELMUT
IPC: C30B25/02
Filed: 1985-07-23
Granted: 1988-07-14
Abstract: Photoactive pyrite layers, whose preparation and use represent a commercially highly interesting alternative to materials hitherto in common use. The semiconductor material chiefly used until now, e.g. for solar cells, is silicon. However, its costs of manufacture are too high to allow solar cells to be made at favorable cost. The significance of the disclosure and development of pyrite as a semiconductor material, especially for solar cells, lies in the fact that it is plentifully occurring and cheap, as well as environmentally compatible. Pyrite (iron pyrites, FeS2) can be used as a photoactive material in solar cells and in optoelectronic components. It is possible to use both naturally occurring pyrite, after a material treatment to improve the photosensitivity, as well as synthetically produced, single-crystal and polycrystalline pyrite.
