Title: An apparatus for orienting and positioning an elongate object for dispensing
Inventor: BUNCE MARTIN
IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 1997-06-23
Granted: 2001-09-20
Abstract: Apparatus for orienting elongate objects, for example capsules of medicament (8), comprises a passage (9) for receiving an individual capsule in a preferred orientation, a container (12) for holding a bulk supply of capsules, and a ramp surface (13) which directs a capsule towards the passage (9) when the device is positioned such that the passage extends vertically downwardly from the container. It has been found that by appropriate choice of ramp angle, passage diameter and container diameter there is a high probability that a single capsule will be loaded into the dispensing passage when the apparatus is inverted to place the dispensing passage below the bulk supply. The apparatus is particularly useful in a dry medicament dispensing apparatus comprising, in addition to the orienting apparatus, a chamber (7) for receiving capsules from the dispensing passage (9), means for piercing the ends of the capsule, and a mouthpiece (M) for drawing air through the capsule to entrain the medicament. <IMAGE>

Title: Papermaking machine in which the paper web is supported in the draw between the press and dryer section
Inventor: GULYA THOMAS G
IPC: D21F3/04
Filed: 1989-06-07
Granted: 1992-01-23
Abstract: The invention is directed to a papermaking machine in which the wet paper web (5) is supported by the press section felt (6) as it is transferred from the press section (1) to the dryer section (2) of the machine, thereby preventing sagging and possible breakage of the web. According to the invention, the felt (6) is mounted for endless travel and passing around at least a first (9) of said dryer rolls, said felt being unsupported over a substantial distance extending between said press rolls (3, 4) and said first dryer roll (9) and said web being carried on the upper surface of the felt as said felt travels through said distance. As the wet paper web is supported in the draw, sagging and possible breaking of the web is prevented in this area. As thee tendency for breakage is minimized, product loss is minimized and downtime of the machine is correspondingly decreased.

Title: Intermediate storage of facsimile data
Inventor: FELLERER JOSEF
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1985-07-05
Granted: 1987-04-30
Abstract: Facsimile data signal trains are transmitted from an originating station of Group 2 or Group 3 to a destination station Group 2 or Group 3 by way of an intermediate station. The scan line frequency of the facsimile data signal trains of the second group thereby amounts to n lines/second and m picture elements/line of the originals scanned whose information content is to be transmitted by facsimile data signal trains of Group 3. In the intermediate station, data signal trains of Group 2 are converted into data signal trains of Group 3 before intermediate storage and are subsequently intermediately stored, whereas data signal trains of Group 3 are intermediately stored without conversion. The data signal trains of Group 2 received in the intermediate station are converted into data signal trains of Group 3 before they are intermediately stored by demodulation, scanning with a frequency T2=mxn Hertz and coding of the samples according to a redundancy-reducing source code method.

Title: Vinyl acetate catalyst preparation method
Inventor: COLLING PHILIP M
IPC: C07C69/15
Filed: 1993-10-08
Granted: 1995-04-27
Abstract: A method of preparing a catalyst particularly useful in the reaction of ethylene, oxygen and acetic acid in the vapor phase to form vinyl acetate comprises impregnating a porous support with water soluble salts of palladium and gold, fixing the palladium and gold on the support as water insoluble compounds by contacting the salt-impregnated support with a reactive solution in two separate fixing stages wherein the treated support is dried and allowed to stand prior to treatment in the second stage to precipitate the insoluble compounds on the support and reducing the insoluble compounds to free palladium and gold. The catalysts prepared in this manner have been shown to provide improvement with respect to reduced selectivity to CO2 during the vinyl acetate forming reaction.

IPC: A61K31/16
Filed: 1986-07-07
Granted: 1990-08-09
Abstract: Processes for preparing 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid as well as esters and amides thereof involves initially preparing the acid by reacting 1-decyne with 1,4-dihalo-2-butyne in the presence of a strong base to form 1-halo-2,5-tetradecadiyne which is then reacted with 5-hexynoic acid so as to form 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid.
