Title: Polyoxyalkylene monoethers with reduced water affinity
Inventor: MCDANIEL KENNETH G
IPC: C11D1/72
Filed: 1998-03-20
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: Oleophilic polyoxyalkylene monoethers having reduced water affinity are disclosed. The monoethers have a hydrocarbyl residue, a polyoxyalkylene moiety, and a hydroxyl end group. The monoethers contain les s than about 6 mole percent of alkoxylated unsaturates, and preferably less than about 5 mole percent of polyoxyalkylene diols. The monoethers offer substantial advantages for fuel compositions, particularly reduced water affinity. By using deposit-control additives base d on the monoethers, formulators can offer better fuels for cleaner engines.

Title: Calcium phosphopeptide complexes
Inventor: REYNOLDS ERIC C
IPC: A23G4/00
Filed: 1998-03-13
Granted: 2011-05-03
Abstract: Phosphopeptides containing the Ser(P) cluster sequence motif Ser(P)-Ser(P)-Ser(P)-Glu-Glu- can stabilise their own weight in amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) [Ca3(PO4)1.87(HPO4)0.2xH2O] and amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (ACFP) [Ca8(PO4)5 F x H2O]. The amorphous phases stabilised by the phosphopeptides are an excellent delivery vehicle to co-localise Ca, F, and phosphate at the tooth surface in a slow-release amorphous form producing superior anticaries efficacy. These amorphous phases stabilised by the phosphopeptides also have utility as dietary supplements to increase calcium bioavailability and to help prevent diseases associated with calcium deficiencies.

Title: Currency recycling automated banking machine media gate
Inventor: OWENS MARK
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1998-11-19
Granted: 2002-10-22
Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) identifies and stores documents such as currency bills deposited by a user. The machine then selectively recovers su ch documents from storage areas and dispenses them to other users. The machine includes a central transport (70) in which documents which are deposited are  oriented and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in recycling canisters (92, 94, 96, 98) when a user subsequently requests a dispense of documents. Documents are selectively picked from the storage are as and delivered to the customer. Media gates (116, 118, 120, 122) are used to selectively direct documents between remote transport segments (108, 110, 11 2, 114) and canister delivery transports (124, 126, 128, 130). The media gates operate by selectively directing documents through an intersection (421) in engagement with transversely offset belt flights (396, 422). A diverter memb er (430) selectively deforms the belt flights of the remote transport segment s o as to guide documents to and from an associated canister delivery transport.

Granted: 2003-07-29
Abstract: The present invention provides an adaptive microwave oven capable of entering an operation mode which avoids interference with a communication device either upon detection of a communication from a communication device (e.g., a cordless telephone) operating in a microwave frequency range, or upon receipt of a command indicating the operation of a microwave device such as a cordless telephone through a suitable network (e.g., a piconet using BLUETOOTH.TM. Technology). In one embodiment, a cooking mode of a microwave oven is paused (or significantly reduced) to best avoid interference with microwave signals between a remote handset and a matching base unit of a cordless telephone. The activity of microwave communications within the vicinity of the adaptive microwave oven can be determined, e.g., using a passive cordless telephone receiver which detects communication activity in the microwave range, or using direct communications from the cordless telephone using a suitable wireless network, e.g., a piconet using BLUETOOTH.TM. Technology. In another embodiment, the frequency of an adaptive microwave oven capable of generating microwave energy at any of a plurality of microwave frequency ranges is controlled in accordance with the microwave frequency used by an electronic device (e.g., a cordless telephone) in the vicinity of the adaptive microwave oven. In this embodiment, a cordless telephone receiver can provide a controller for the adaptive microwave oven with passively detected information regarding the frequency of communication traffic in the vicinity of the microwave oven, or a wireless network can be used to provide frequency information directly between the relevant electronic device (e.g., cordless telephone) and the adaptive microwave oven.

Abstract: A Coriolis mass flow sensor includes a flow sensor tube, a drive device situated relative to the flow sensor tube so as to cause the flow sensor tube to vibrate, and pick off sensors situated relative to the flow sensor tube so as to measure the twist in the flow sensor tube due to Coriolis force. A capacitive pick off sensor is disclosed that includes at least one conductive plate connectable to a first voltage potential and adapted to be situated adjacent the flow sensor tube which is connected to a second voltage potential. The conductive plate is positioned relative to the flow sensor tube so as to define a gap therebetween. The capacitance between the conductive plate and the flow sensor tube varies due to the relative motion of the conductive plate and the flow sensor tube when the flow sensor tube is vibrated. Electromagnetic, electrostatic, acoustic, and/or piezoelectric drives may be used to vibrate the flow sensor tube. The Coriolis mass flow controller may further include an integrated flow control device adapted to receive fluid from the flow sensor tube and provide flow control.

Abstract: Rotary shaft axial elongation measuring method and device enable an accurate measuring of a rotary shaft axial elongation regardless of sizes of the elongation. Grooves (10, 12), arranged mutually opposing in a turned V shape along axial direction, are provided in a rotational surface of a rotary shaft (1), axial elongation of which is to be measured.      A sensor (14) is arranged opposing the rotational surface of the rotary shaft (1). The sensor (14) generates pulses upon passing of the grooves (10, 12) following rotation of the rotary shaft (1). As a circumferential interval between the grooves (10, 12) differs according to the axial directional position of the rotary shaft (1), if the positions of the grooves (10, 12) at the position of the sensor (14) change due to the axial elongation, interval of the pulses generated by the sensor (14) changes. Thus, by the change in the pulse generation interval, the axial elongation is measured.
