Title: Suspension bridge cable wrap and application method
Inventor: MATHEY STEPHEN G
IPC: E01D19/16
Filed: 1995-01-12
Abstract: An encapsulated cable for a suspension bridge or a cable-stayed bridge, the cable (10) being encapsulated by a wrap (16) which is formed by spirally winding a flexible strand (5) of a synthetic rubber tightly therearound. The strand is wound with each wind thereof overlapping one-half the width of the preceding wind, thereby forming a uniform thickness, double layer wrap.      After the spiral winding step the wrap is heated to heat seal the superimposed layers to one another to thereby seal the seam formed therebetween and shrink the wrap into tight engagement with the cable. The strand, specifically the outermost layer of a laminated multiple layer strand, is precolored with a suitable colorant to eliminate the need for after painting the wrap to obtain a suitable color match between it and adjacent portions of the bridge structure. A joint between the cable and an annular opening in a support member (14) through which it passes is sealed before the spiral wrapping step by positioning an elastomeric annular member (20) around the cable in engagement with the cable and the support member, tightly circumscribing the annular member with a synthetic rubber sleeve (26) to ensure that its engagement with the support member and the cable is sealing engagement, and then by performing the cable spiral wrapping step beginning at the support member to cover the synthetic rubber sleeve as well as the portion of the cable extending therebeyond.

Abstract: In the case of recording computer data, e.g., into clusters 16 to 27 of the data recording area, the range of clusters 16 to 27 is ensured as an available range in management table (parts table) of U-TOC. For example, onto parts table of No. 02h, such computer data is recorded as a segment in which cluster 16 is caused to be start address and cluster 27 is caused to be end address. For the purpose of carrying out management of recording state of computer data, FAT (File Allocation Table) is separately provided. At this table, management of recording states of clusters 16 to 27 is carried out.        Thus, computer data can be recorded onto mini-disc for recording audio data.

Title: Anti-reverse sliding motion mechanism
Inventor: HWU CHYN-HERNG
IPC: A63C7/00
Filed: 1995-01-30
Abstract: The present invention provides for an anti-reverse sliding motion mechanism which comprises a pair of carriers having a plurality of movable sliding plates disposed therein. As each carrier carrying the plurality of sliding plates subject to a thrust in opposite direction, the sliding plates extend and move to be in perpendicular to the carrier, thereby producing an anti-thrust resistance force which serves as a opposite force for moving forward. When the carrier is subject to a forward pushing force, the anti-reverse sliding plates move to present a horizontal smooth surface which serves as a sliding surface. By the alternating action of the pair of carriers, a forward driving force is obtained as a result of the combination of anti-reverse and sliding actions.

Abstract: Generally  stated,  the  present  invention  provides  a  distinctive absorbent article which includes a backsheet layer and an absorbent retention portion which is superposed on the backsheet layer.   The retention portion has a length and a width, and has laterally opposed side edges thereof and longitudinally opposed end edges thereof.  A surge management portion is located adjacent a bodyside surface of the retention portion.   The surge management portion is constructed to temporarily  hold  received  liquid  and  release  the  liquid  to  the retention portion.  The surge management portion has a width, opposed side edges thereof and opposed end edges thereof, and has a length thereof which is less than the length of the retention portion.  The end edges of the surge management portion are located longitudinally inboard from the end edges of the retention portion.  A porous topsheet layer  is disposed  in  facing relation with the backsheet  layer to sandwich the retention portion and the surge management portion between the backsheet layer and the topsheet layer.  The topsheet layer has marginal regions thereof attached to marginal regions of the backsheet layer.   The attached marginal regions of the topsheet and backsheet layers are located laterally outboard of the side edge regions of the surge management portion.  A surfactant material is applied to a medial section of the topsheet layer to provide a greater wettability of the medial section, as compared to a remainder of the topsheet layer.  The medial section has a width which is substantially not more than the width of the surge management portion.
