Title: Process for the non-galvanic tin plating of copper or copper alloys
Inventor: BELL JANE
IPC: B05D7/14
Filed: 2000-11-09
Abstract: The invention describes a process for non-galvanic tin plating of copper and copper alloys by precipitation of tin from methanesulphonic acid and tin-containing electrolytes, containing a complexing agent. In describing a process by which a durable tin layer which can be soldered is created, which, at the same time, prevents liberation of the base material, this invention discloses that the electrolytes have at least one foreign metal added to form a diffusion barrier in the tin layer.

Title: Pipeline systems
Inventor: FRANK KERSHAW CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B08B9/055
Filed: 1988-06-07
Abstract: A pipeline pig for pigging a fluid transportation pipeline, especially one in which a cable or other line is permanently deployed, comprises on a central tubular shaft (10,24) an array of radial-bristle planar brushes (12,14) which are spaced apart in planes normal to the axis of the shaft (10,24) by spacers (16), and in some cases by groups of sail cloth diaphragms (18) secured between spacers (20). The brush bristles (22) comprise resilient plastics filaments (preferably nylon) coated with an abrasive material such as carborundum, and have a radial length such that when the pig is inserted in a pipeline, the bristles are deflected and curved rearwardly so that a substantial part of each bristle lies in contact with the internal surface of the pipeline. The leading end of the pig may comprise a deflector cone (50) to facilitate passage of the pig past a cable deployed in a pipeline. The sail cloth diaphragms (18) may be provided with radially extending pleats (62).

Title: Code excited linear predictive vocoder and method of operation
IPC: G10L19/04
Filed: 1988-06-24
Abstract: Apparatus (101-112) for encoding speech uses an improved code excited linear predictive (CELP) encoder (102, 103, 104, 106, 107) using a recursive computational unit. In response to a target excitation vector that models a present frame of speech, the computational unit utilizes a finite impulse response linear predictive coding (LPC) filter and an overlapping codebook to determine a candidate excitation vector from the codebook that matches the target excitation vector after searching the entire codebook for the best match. For each candidate excitation vector accessed from the overlapping codebook, only one sample of the accessed vector and one sample of the previously accessed vector must have arithmetic operations performed on them to evaluate the new vector rather than all of the samples as is normal for CELP methods. For increased performance, a stochastically excited linear predictive (SELP) encoder (105, 107) is used in series with adaptive CELP encoder. The SELP encoder is responsive to the difference between the target excitation vector and the best matched candidate excitation vector to search its own overlapping codebook in a recursive manner to determine a candidate excitation vector that provides the best match. Both of the best matched candidate vectors are used in speech synthesis.

Title: Automated method and apparatus for hydrating soft contact lenses
Inventor: KEENE DARREN SCOTT
IPC: B29C33/04
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: An automated means for hydrating a molded hydrophilic contact lens is provided in which a first robotic assembly removes a plurality of contact lens molds from a production line carrier, each of the lens molds having a contact lens adhered therein. The first robotic assembly transports the molds to a first staging area where the lens molds are sandwiched between a lens mold carrier and a top chamber plate to form a first hydration carrier. A first rotary transfer device then hands the first hydration carrier to a second robotic assembly which immerses the first hydration carrier in a hydration bath to hydrate the lens and to release the lens from the lens mold. While the lens is immersed in the hydration bath, each lens is transferred from its respective mold to a lens transfer means found within the top chamber plate. After a predetermined period of time, the second robotic assembly removes the first hydration carrier from the hydration bath and hands the hydration carrier off to a second rotary transfer device which rotates the first hydration carrier and aligns it for transfer to a third robotic assembly. The third robotic assembly then carries the top chamber plate and contact lenses through a series of steps in which the lens mold carrier and lens molds are removed from the top chamber plate. The lenses carried on the lens transfer means are then flushed and transported for assembly with a hydration base member to form a second hydration carrier for processing the lens in subsequent extraction stations. The second hydration carrier is then transported through a plurality of flushing or extraction stations wherein fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chambers at each hydration station to flush leachable substances from the hydration chamber. At each flushing station, fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chamber to remove previously extracted impurities and the products of hydrolysis. A final robotic dis-assembly device separates the top chamber plate and lens transfer means from the hydration base member, to provide fully hydrated lenses in a concave lens holding means ready for transfer to inspection and packaging stations.
