Title: Counting objects
Inventor: PEROZEK BARBARA L
IPC: G06M1/10
Filed: 1992-02-14
Abstract: An apparatus 10 for counting discrete objects of various sizes and shapes as they travel through the apparatus in a disorderly flow. The apparatus includes a sensor array (fig. 2 not shown 25a) which comprises a plurality of photodetectors (38 figure 5 not shown) arranged in a linear fashion. The discrete objects are passed over the sensor array. By utilizing the sensor array as a means for obtaining information about the discrete objects, the apparatus samples the sensor array at predetermined time intervals, examines the various contours of the images produced through the sampling and based upon predetermined criteria determines whether an image represents one or more objects. The main application is to dispensing tablets into containers, ensuring that the required number of tablets is dispensed accurately. Once one container is filled, the flow of tablets is diverted to fill a second container while the original, filled container is replaced with an empty one. <IMAGE>

Title: An electrical plug and other fused devices
Inventor: JONES IAN
IPC: H01R13/68
Filed: 1992-11-20
Abstract: A range of electrical plugs and fuses, each plug being adapted to fit the same form of socket having a fuse holder for receiving a fuse, the fuse holders, plugs, and fuses being of a size and/or shape such that only fuses of or up to the appropriate rating can be fitted to a given plug. This principle is also applicable to plugs fitted to an electrical device by the manufacturer. A simple example is a "13 amp" plug (Fig 2), i.e. one designed to fit a conventional square pin socket, designed for use with a device requiring a 5 amp fuse. In this case, the plug has a fuse holder (4) which is too small to receive a conventional 13 amp fuse (Fig 4) but large enough to receive the smaller size conventional 5 amp fuse (Fig 5). The principle is also applicable to other fused devices or to a fuse box housing a plurality of fuses of different ratings.

Title: Acid-anhydride esters as oil field corrosion inhibitors
Inventor: ALFORD JOHN A
IPC: C09K23/42
Filed: 1993-06-03
Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor with excellent film forming and film persistency characteristics may be produced by first reacting C18 unsaturated fatty acids with maleic anhydride or fumaric acid to produce the fatty acid Diels- Alder adduct or the fatty acid-ene reaction product. This adduct or reaction product is further reacted in a condensation or hydrolysation reaction with a polyalcohol to form an acid-anhydride ester corrosion inhibitor. The ester may be reacted with amines, metal hydroxides, metal oxides, ammonia, and combinations thereof to neutralize the ester. Surfactants may be added to tailor the inhibitor formulation to meet the specific needs of the user (i.e., the corrosion inhibitor may be formulated to produce an oil-soluble, highly water-dispersible corrosion inhibitor or an oil-dispersible, water-soluble corrosion inhibitor). Suitable carrier solvents may be employed where needed to effectively disperse the corrosion inhibitor formulation.

Title: Alphanumeric registration using keypad
Inventor: GAHANG GU-SU
IPC: H04M1/2748
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: A push button telephone with a numeric keypad 3 is used to enter alphanumeric characters. Alphanumeric characters are classified into group information and party information representative often arabic numerals, alphabetic capital letters, and alphabetic small letters. When two successive key strokes corresponding to the group and party information are made, an alphanumeric registration subroutine is executed, thereby storing a single alphanumeric character corresponding to the selected group and party in a predetermined register TEMP_ID. One of keys 0 - 9 is pressed first to select the group of characters marked thereon, then one of keys 0 - 6 is pressed to select one of the characters corresponding to the first key viz the numeral, first second or third capital letter (if any) or corresponding first second or third small letter. Accordingly, a user can easily register information such as a telephone number and/or an identification code. The present invention is widely applicable to e.g. facsimile machines, high performance telephones, voice mailing systems (VMS) and audio response systems (ARS). <IMAGE>
