Title: Lensed tapered optical waveguide
Inventor: LI KENNETH K
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 2002-05-28
Abstract: An optical coupling element for use in large numerical aperture collecting and condensing systems. The optical coupling element includes a curved surface such as a lens at the output of a tapered light pipe (TLP). The TLP in combination with the curved surface alters the divergence angle and the area of the light exiting the curved surface. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source is collected and focused onto a target by positioning the source of electromagnetic radiation substantially at a first focal point of a primary reflector so that the primary reflector produces rays of radiation reflected from the primary reflector that converge at a second focal point of the secondary reflector. The optical coupling element is positioned so that its input end is substantially proximate with the second focal point of the secondary reflector. The converging rays of radiation reflected from the secondary reflector pass through input end and are transmitted towards the curved surface, where their divergence angle and area are adjusted.

Title: Capillary mixer with adjustable reaction chamber volume for mass spectrometry
Inventor: WILSON DEREK J
IPC: G01N1/38
Filed: 2004-02-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a capillary mixer for mixing first and second reactant solutions to form a mixed solution prior to delivering the mixed solution to an ion source of a mass spectrometer. The mixer comprises: a pair of concentric capillaries consisting of: an outer capillary connected at a distal end to an inlet of the ion source and being connected at a proximal end to a source of the second reactant solution; and an inner capillary within the outer capillary, thereby forming an annular intercapillary space between the outer and inner capillaries, wherein: the inner capillary is connected at a proximal end to a source of the first reactant solution and has an opening at or near a distal end, is slidably sealed to the outer capillary at or near the proximal end of the outer capillary and is movable back and forth within the outer capillary, whereby the first reactant solution is delivered through the inner capillary and the second solution is delivered through the intercapillary space; and the first and second reactant solutions get mixed to form the mixed solution in a mixing region within the intercapillary space into which the first reactant solution is expelled through the opening. Because the inner capillary is movable, the reaction chamber volume is adjustable. As a result, both spectral and kinetic modes of operation can be conducted by using the same mixer.

Inventor: TOM ANDY
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: Tools for expanding downhole tubulars into each other or in open hole are disclosed. One embodiment uses a movable cone (50) biased by Bellville washers to move longitudinally against such bias and allow collets (40) to move radially in or out to a predetermined maximum diameter. A release system allows collet retraction to avoid hang up on removal. In an alternate embodiment, more suitable for open hole applications, pressurized gas pushes a movable cone longitudinally against the collets. A stationary cone is on the opposite side of the collets from the movable cone. The collet rides out or in between the cones and raises the gas pressure when forced in. A pressure actuated release allows the lower cone to shift downwardly to allow the collets to retract for removal.

Title: Methode de fabrication de baton de baseball en bois a densite variable
Inventor: GAUTHIER FRANCIS
IPC: A63B59/52
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: La méthode de fabrication permet de varier la densité du bois du bâton de baseball afin de lui donner des propriétés spéciales. La torréfaction du bois ainsi que le séchage du bois permettent d'obtenir un e densité moindre du bois que le bois non séché ou torréfier. La méthode consiste à usiner le bois avant de le faire sécher ou chauffer de façon à ce que la partie qui doit être plus dense soit constitué d'une couche plus épaisse de bois par rapport à la dimension fini que les autres parties. Le séchage conventionnel peut être utilisé dans la présente invention de même que les procédés de chauffage du bois à haute température. Lors du séchage ou du chauffage à haute température du bois, l'eau ainsi que les résines son t évacuées en périphérie du bois en premier. Lorsque le séchage continue c'est le centre d u bois qui est séché ou chauffé. De cette façon en surdimensionnement les parties devant être plus dense avan t le séchage ou la torréfaction du bois, il est possible de varier la densité d'une partie du bâton de baseball par rapport à une autre.
