Title: Impeller containment system
Inventor: EBDEN CLIVE
IPC: F02C7/00
Filed: 1999-12-03
Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an impeller containment system for containing the burst of an impeller or the burst of impeller fragments from an impeller hub. The containment system utilizes a catcher (60, 62) extending from the shroud back plate (34) adjacent the impeller, which engages the snagger (50, 52) formed as a unitary part of the impeller. The catcher (60, 62) and snagger (50, 52) cooperate to restrain a burst impeller or impeller fragments to their shortest radial distance from their point of burst. The system also includes a shroud (32), which circumferentially surrounds the impeller, and a diffuser (70), which circumferentially surrounds the radial tip portions of the impeller.

Abstract: An Ethernet Metropolitan Area Network (10) provides connectivity to one or more customer premises (16 1, 16 2, 16 3) to packet-bases services, such as ATM, Frame Relay, or IP while advantageously providing a mechanism for assuring security and regulation of customer traffic. Upon receipt of each customer-generated information frame (20), an ingress Multi-Service Platform (MSP)(122) "tags" the frame with a customer descriptor (22') that specifically identifies the recipient customer. In practice, the MSP tags each frame by overwriting the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) identifier (22) with the routing descriptor. Using the customer descriptor in each frame, a recipient Provider Edge Router (PER)(18) or ATM switch can map the information as appropriate to direct the information to the specific customer. In addition, the customer descriptor (22') may also include Quality of Service (QoS) allowing the recipient Provider Edge Router (PER)(18) or ATM switch to vary the QoS level accordingly.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une émulsion fine à consistance aqueuse comprenant un système pseudo-émulsifiant non phospholipidique et non éthoxylé. Ce système présente une composition chimique comprenant au moins une fraction hydrophobe et au moins une fraction polaire, ces fractions présentant une asymétrie de dimension, de forme et/ou de disposition planaire l'une par rapport à l'autre. On prépare cette émulsion par homogénéisation à haute pression d'une émulsion huile-eau brute contenant le pseudo-émulsifiant. Ces émulsions ne requièrent que peu voire pas du tout d'émulsifiant traditionnel pour conserver leur stabilité et sont particulièrement utiles pour la préparation d'émulsions multiples.

Title: Method for making dutched cocoa
Inventor: TROUT RICHARD B
IPC: A23G1/00
Filed: 2001-05-01
Granted: 2010-09-28
Abstract: A method for making dutched cocoa involves first removing a considerable portion of the fat from a cocoa mass to form a reduced fat cocoa mass with less than 8 % fat by weight, then alkalizing the reduced fat cocoa to form dutched cocoa. With this sequence of steps, the formation of soaps is minimized because the soaps are formed by a reaction between the alkalizing agents and cocoa fat. Thus, the taste of the cocoa powder is improved, as well as its flowability, especially when the cocoa undergoes harsh alkalizing conditions, as is required for applications requiring very dark cocoa.

Title: Wood adhesives based on isocyanate-terminated prepolymers
Inventor: MECKEL WALTER
IPC: C09J175/00
Filed: 2001-12-03
Granted: 2011-08-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a one-component wood adhesive, especially for the adhesive bonding of load-bearing components, based on isocyanate-terminated prepolymers. The adhesive possesses an improved water resistance. It has now been found that fillers based on polyadducts of, for example, toluene diisocyanates and hydrazine hydrate (polyhydrazodicarboxamides) make a positive contribution to the wet strength of wood. Since hydrazodicarboxamide structures are suitable for the formation of hydrogen bonds, the more likely expectation would have been of a certain hydrophility and hence poorer wet strengths. The present invention provides for the use of adhesives based on isocyanate-terminated prepolymers having an isocyanate content of 8 to 20% by weight, comprising: (a) at least one organic polyisocyanate; (b) at least one organic polyhydroxyl compound in the form of a dispersion comprising reaction products of: (i) organic polyisocyanates, with (ii) primary or secondary amino-containing polyamines, hydrazines or hydrazides, in a (iii) polyether containing at least two hydroxyl groups and having a molecular weight range from 500 to 12 000; and (c) if desired, auxiliaries and additives, for adhesively bonding wood substrates.

Abstract: The motor according to the present invention consists of a piston (1), cylinder (2), connecting rod (3), connecting rod rotary bolt gear wheel (4), connecting rod rotary bolt (5), crank shaft (6), crank shaft bolt (7), double faced gear wheel (9) and other gear wheels (10, 11, 12). As the connecting rod (3) is moved by the connecting rod rotary bolt gear wheel (4) that moves together with the connecting rod rotary bolt (5), without being directly dependent on the movement of the crank shaft bolt (7) although the connecting rod (3) is connected to the crank shaft (6) and to the piston (1); the crank shaft (6) moves independently of the connecting rod (3). This povides the difference between the travel path of the piston (1) between the lower and upper dead points, and the rotational diameter of the crank shaft bolt (7). In this case, the connecting rod (3) makes an elliptical movement on the crank shaft bolt (7) instead of a circular movement.
