Title: Container end wall
Inventor: CLAYDON PAUL CHARLES
IPC: B65D/
Filed: 1993-07-14
Abstract: An end wall for a can body has a central panel 7 surrounded by a conventional expansion ring 8 which is connected to an inner wall 16 of a channel portion 5 by a deformable annulus 17, 18 so that when subjected to high pressure during thermal processing of a closed can having this end wall, the deformable annulus changes shape to permanently increase the container volume while the central panel 7 is only temporarily deformed. The deformable annulus protects the side wall and ends of the can from excessive pressure so thinner container materials may be used. The deformable annulus may comprise a flat ledge 17 and a concave annular bead 18. Alternatively, the deformable annulus may consist of a frustoconical portion (30, Figure 10), optionally provided with hollow stiffening beads, (31, Figure 11). The end wall may be integrally formed with the can body or may be seamed to the body, (Figure 12). The end wall is formed by a press tool comprising an upper tool, with a sleeve and central pad, and a lower tool, with an annular die surrounding a punch, (Figure 9). The can may be used for pet food.

Title: Thermo-chemical de-waxing of hydrocarbon transmission conduits
Inventor: KHALIL CARLOS NAGIB
IPC: B08B9/02
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: A process for the thermo-chemical de-waxing of hydro-carbon transmission comprises assessment of the conduit internal effective volume, and the use of a numerical simulation for calculating the required amount of treatment fluid, which comprises a water-in-oil emulsion made by combining two separate emulsions containing ammonium chloride and sodium nitrate. The reactants are pumped to the required position where they generate nitrogen and heat, which fluidizes the paraffin deposit which is later driven off by cleaning beds. The percentage of paraffin removed is determined by assessing the final internal effective volume. <IMAGE>

Title: A steam wetness optical probe
Inventor: ROSS MICHAEL MCLEAN
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 1994-09-14
Abstract: An optical probe for the measurement of the wetness of steam in a model steam turbine. The probe is required to capture optical extinction spectra for the measurement of wetness due to line droplets down to 0.05 microns. The probe comprises a chamber 5 which can be open and closed to the steam environment and which has a beam of light transmitted through it in the two cases when it is open to steam and when it is purged of steam. The optical path is folded by employing a quartz corner reflector 9 at the remote end and cassegrain projection and reception optics 7 at the near end. A substantial path length is thus obtained without an unduly long probe. The steam chamber is closed by flat optical surfaces so simplifying any cleaning that may be necessary. Light is conveyed from the lamp 19 to the chamber 5 and then to the spectrometer 23 by means of optical fibres 15 and 17 respectively. <IMAGE>

Title: Collision avoidance in satellite communication system
Inventor: NAWATA HIZURU
IPC: H04B7/195
Filed: 1995-05-26
Abstract: In a communication system for transmitting and receiving burst signal between a round-trip satellite 101..103 and a ground station 104..107, upon transmission of a transmitting burst signal from the round-trip satellite, a standard time upon transmission is added to the transmitting burst signal. In the ground station (see figure 2), the time data added to the transmitting burst data is extracted and compared with the standard time upon reception to derive a transmission delay period. The transmission timing of a burst signal to be transmitted from the own station is controlled depending upon the transmission delay period. By this, even when a distance between the ground station and the round-trip satellite is varied, overlapping of the burst signals in the time slots on the same time axis can be successfully avoided. Also, a guard time can be shortened to contribute for improvement of the transmission efficiency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 954,894. Counting apparatus. RONEO NEOPOST Ltd. Aug. 3, 1961 [Sept. 26, 1960], No. 32947/60. Heading G4D. In a totalizer the tens transfer mechanism comprises a tooth positively movable from an inoperative into an operative position by the action of a cam surface on a member which is actuated when a transfer from one digit wheel to another is necessary. When transfer is required a striker B, attached to the digit wheel A, contacts a pin F of a transfer plate G, slidably mounted on shafts T, T 1 , pushing the plate into the path of a swinging tooth H. A cam face J on the plate G deflects the tooth H so that it comes into line with a pinion N, intermeshed with the pinion P, of the next higher order digit wheel A 1 . A cam 0 restores the plate G to its normal position when tooth H has moved the pinion N on by one digit and a cam plate R on the transfer plate G then retains the tooth H in inoperative position. The teeth H, H 1  &c. are in staggered relationship around the axis of housings L.
