Title: Thermal barrier for hot glue adhesive dispenser
Inventor: HUBBARD TIMOTHY M
IPC: B05C5/00
Filed: 1995-04-18
Abstract: THERMAL BARRIER FOR HOT GLUE ADHESIVE DISPENSER                 Abstract of the Disclosure An apparatus  (10)  for dispensing hot melt adhesives includes an air gap (100) in the body (16) of the dispenser (10).  The apparatus (10) includes a heater (80), a temperature sensing device (RTD) (82) and adhesive passageway (84) located within the body (16) of the dispenser (10).  The dispenser (10) delivers heated adhesive to a gun body (12) where it is applied to a substrate.  The air gap (100) is interposed between the heater (80) and the adhesive passageway (84) and directs a majority of the heat generated by the heater (80) toward the gun body (12) and toward regions of the apparatus (10) needing additional heating.   The air gap  (100)  enables a desired temperature  gradient  within  the  dispenser  (100)  to  be maintained and prevents localized heating or cooling, thus decreasing the possibility that the adhesive will coagulate and plug the dispenser (10).

IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1994-11-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating geography-altering machinery such as a track-type tractor, road grader, paver or the like relative to a work site to alter the geography of the site toward a desired condition. A first digital three-dimensional model (104) of the desired site geography, and a second digital three-dimensional model (106) of the actual site geography are stored in a digital data storage facility (126). The machine (10) is equipped with a position receiver to determine in three-dimensional space the location of the machine (10) relative to the site (12). A dynamic database (400) receives the machine position information, determines the difference between the first and second site models (104, 106) and generates representational signals of that difference for directing the operation of the machine (10) to bring the actual site geography into conformity with the desired site geography. In one embodiment, the signals representing the machine position and the difference between the first and second site models (104, 106) used to generate an operator display (108) which is updated in real time. Alternately, the signals representing the difference between the first and second site models (104, 106) can be supplied to automatic machine controls (128) for autonomous or semi-autonomous operation of the machine (10).

Title: Integrated process for epoxidation
Inventor: JUBIN JOHN C JR
IPC: B01J29/035
Filed: 1996-01-02
Abstract: Epoxides are produced by an integrated process involving molecular oxygen oxidation of a secondary alcohol, separation of the ketone by-product, and epoxidation of an olefin in the presence of a titanium silicalite catalyst and a diluent, wherein a crude alcohol stream obtained by removing epoxide from the epoxidation product mixture serves as the diluent.

Title: Hmg2 promoter expression system and post-harvest production of gene products in plants and plant cell cultures
Inventor: CRAMER CAROLE L
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 1994-08-02
Abstract: The promoter elements of plant HMG2 HMGR genes are described.  The HMG2 promoter elements are responsive  to pathogen-infection, pest-infestation, wounding, or elicitor or chemical treatments.  The HMG2 elements are also active in specialized tissues of the plant including pollen and mature fruits. HMG2 promoter elements and HMG2-derived promoters can be advantageously used to drive the expression of disease and pest resistance genes, whereby transgenic plants containing such gene constructs would be resistant to the targeted disease and pest.  In particular, the HMG2 gene expression system can be utilized in developing nematode resistant plants. HMG2 promoter elements and HMG2-derived promoters can also be advantageously used to drive the post-harvest expression of desired gene products in plants, wherein the expression of the desired gene product is deferred until the expression is induced by mechanical wounding and/or elicitor treatment of all plant tissue shortly before, during or shortly after harvesting the plant.  Further, HMG2 promoter elements and HMG2-derived promoters can also be advantageously used to drive the expression of desired gene products in plant cell cultures, wherein the expression of the desired gene product is deferred until the expression is induced by mechanical wounding or elicitor treatment.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A blow box for use beneath a pair of carrier rolls or a roll winder for a web. The blow box disposed beneath the carrier rolls has first and second side walls generally sealed respectively at each of the carrier rolls. The paper web passesbeneath one of the carrier rolls and up between the rolls. The web may tear and the paper web then drops into the blow box. A connecting wall on the blow box between the side walls thereof and above the base receives the paper falling thereon rather than the paper falling into the blow box. The connecting wall may be inclined to direct the falling paper toward a side wall where and opening is provided enabling the moving of the paper. The connecting wall may be perforated and the air flow into the blow box is beneath the perforated wall so that the air flow through the wall cooperates in moving the falling paper along the connecting wall. As a result, the waste paper can be removed quickly and easily.

IPC: G01N27/08
Filed: 1996-11-04
Abstract: Pour mesurer le diamètre des inclusions en suspension dans le métal en fusion, p articulièrement l'aluminium et ses alliages, on se sert d'un appareil appelé LiMCA II. Ce type d'appareil ut ilise un tube non conducteur au bout duquel il y a un orifice de diamètre connu. En plongeant le bout du tube compren ant l'orifice dans le métal en fusion et en réduisant la pression interne du tube, cela force le métal en fusio n à pénétrer à l'intérieur du tube en passant par l'orifice. Un courant passe entre deux électrodes situées à l'intéri eur et à l'extérieur du tube et le métal en fusion sert à relier les deux électrodes. Chaque fois qu'une particule ou une bulle de gaz passe par l'orifice, il se produit une augmentation de la résistance, d'où une augmentation du voltage. On observe un pic de voltage dû au fait que la particule ou la bulle de gaz passe rapidement à travers l'orifice pu is le voltage de base est rétabli. Dans la présente invention, en soudant ou en collant à l'extérieur du tube une e xtension autour de l'orifice, cela permet d'éliminer les bulles de gaz avant qu'elles ne soient entraînées par le métal en fusion et interprétées comme des particules solides. On peu donc procéder aux mesures sans craindre d'a voir des résultats erronés. Cela ouvre un champ d'utilisation plus grand à l'appareil LiMCA II.
