Title: Dual-mode satellite/cellular phone with a frequency synthesizer
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H03L7/23
Filed: 1995-09-01
Abstract: A radio telephone which is capable of switching between operating through a land-based cellular network and an orbiting satellite system is disclosed. First antenna and radio frequency circuits receive transmitted signals from the land-based network and form first conditioned signals for subsequent numerical decoding. Second antenna and radio frequency circuits receive transmitted signals from the orbiting satellite system and form second condition signals for subsequent numerical decoding. Numerical decoders process either the first condition signals or the second conditioned signals to provide an automatic frequency control signal. Reference frequency oscillators controlled by the automatic frequency control signal provide a reference frequency signal. Radio frequency synthesizers using the reference frequency signal and having a first output at a first programmable frequency connected to the first radio frequency circuits determine reception of a channel frequency of the land-based network and a second output at a second programmable frequency connected to the second radio frequency circuits determines reception of a channel frequency of the orbiting satellite system.

Title: Sampling and Measuring Device with Calibrating Piston
Inventor: KING JAMES D
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 1995-09-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for sampling and measuring a physical property of a product in a container (11). The container (11) has an aperture (11a) in its bottom surface, to which a sampling tube (13) is affixed. A piston (14) moves back and forth in the sampling tube (13), thereby withdrawing and replacing samples of product via the aperture (11a). While a sample is in the sampling tube (13), a sensor (15) senses a measured value of the physical property of interest. The piston (14) has a calibration layer (14a) that is made from a material having a property that is similar to that of the product with respect to the property of interest. For calibration, the piston (14) is positioned so that the sensor (15) senses a measured value that can be compared to a reference value to determine if the sensor output is properly calibrated.

Inventor: BENNER ROLF
IPC: H05K7/18
Filed: 1995-11-02
Abstract: A frame for a switchgear cabinet is made up of frame members and corner joints. The corner joints are provided with plug-in rods in sockets and are joined to the frame members. The frame members are designed as open hollow sections that are bent several times, are symmetrical to their diagonal and open in the area of their inner sides. The section sides of the frame member continuing beyong its outer perpendicular section sides are bent inwards several times to form sockets for the plug-in rods of a corner joint. The resulting sockets provide at least two points of contact with the insert plugin rods spanning more than 180·. This yields a frame with hollow sections that are easy to manufacture, with low expenditures for parts and assembly.

Title: Electromagnetic clutch and engine control
Inventor: REICHLINGER GARY
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1997-05-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for bringing the driven load of an internal combustion engine into motion by controlling the throttle or fuel delivery system of the engine and supplying a series of voltages to an electromagnetic clutch in a clutch engagement cycle. The throttle is set to a position or the fuel flow is regulated such that a specified torque output is produced by the engine. A detection means designates the time at which this output torque has been achieved. At this time, as designated by the detection means, a series of voltages is output to the clutch comprising a first voltage or voltage sequence to ensure engagement of the clutch, a second lower voltage to rapidly reduce holding torque to induce clutch plate slippage, a third voltage to maintain a desired rate of slippage, and a fourth voltage, preferably the rated voltage of the clutch, to lock the clutch plates together.

Title: Bed dickee
Inventor: HUNTER KELLY ANN
IPC: A61B46/00
Filed: 1997-09-26
Abstract: Many medical treatment tables/beds have a hole for the patient's face which is used when lying face down (prone) (refer to page 5). The hole enables the patients face, head and neck to be positioned comfortably and allows for breathing. These beds are used by physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports/athletic therapists, massage therapists, etc. The hole is sometimes referred to as a face hole. Due to the contour of the bed at the face hole, it is difficult to maintain patient hygiene between the patient's face and the bed. This invention, named the BED DICKEE, is a cloth liner which is positioned over the face hole of a medical treatment table. The rectangular base has an oval hole in the centre with an inner ring attached that inserts down into the face hole. It is replaced with a clean liner for each patient using the bed face hole.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des adhésifs en dispersion aqueuse de polyuréthannes anioniques ayant une résistance élevée à la chaleur et une température d'activation basse, même lorsqu'ils sont employés sans adjonction d'un agent de réticulation. Le polyuréthanne est le produit de réaction d'un prépolymère de polyuréthanne se terminant par un isocyanate et d'eau. Le prépolymère de polyuréthanne est le produit de réaction d'un composant polyol et d'un composant diisocyanate, le premier comprenant: un polyol de polyester sulfoné, un acide hydroxy carboxylique ayant pour formule: (HO) ¿x?R(COOH)¿y?, dans laquelle (R) représente un radical d'hydrocarbure droit ou ramifié contenant de 1 à 12 atomes de carbone, et x et y représentent des nombres de 1 à 3 et, en variante, un diol aliphatique de faible poids moléculaire, allant de 60 à 400, un polyol non sulfoné, le composant diisocyanate étant choisi dans le groupe constitué par les diisocyanates aromatiques, le diisocyanate d'isophérone, le diisocyanate d'hexaméthylène et des mélanges de ces composés. Les dispersions sont préparées par mélange du prépolymère et d'eau à une température d'au moins 60 ·C, pendant un temps suffisant pour faire réagir entièrement les groupes isocyanate dans une réaction d'auto-extension du prépolymère avec de l'eau, au moins 30 minutes dans un cas typique. Les dispersions selon l'invention donnent des liaisons adhésives plus fortes que les dispersions de prépolymères identiques allongées avec un agent d'allongement de chaînes diamine, au lieu de l'eau, après dispersion. La composition adhésive peut aussi être modifiée de manière à inclure un polymère ou copolymère dispersé d'un monomère éthyléniquement non saturé. Les compositions de ce genre peuvent être obtenues en préparant le polyuréthanne sulfoné en présence d'un monomère éthyléniquement non saturé et en soumettant ensuite le mélange à une polymérisation radicalaire.
