Abstract: Disclosed in this invention are novel asphaltic compositions and the method of making same. The compositions are made by combining an asphalt that contains sulfonate or sulfonic acid groups, a polymer preferably of butyl rubbers, styrene-butadiene linear diblock polymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene linear or radial triblock polymer and EPDM that has been sulfonated, and mixtures thereof, and a basic neutralizing agent that contains cations having a valence from +1 to +3. The amount of polymer is an amount less than 7 wt.% of total polymer-asphalt composition that is sufficient to produce an asphaltic composition having a viscosity at 135°C in the range of from about 150 cPs to about 2000 cPs or from about 3000 cPs to about 8000 cPs. The novel asphaltic compositions have improved viscoelasticity, softening point, and storage stability. The compositions can be used as binders in road paving applications.

Inventor: SHIRLEY ARTHUR I
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 1993-05-13
Abstract: A fuel gas, typically methane, is produced from a coal seam penetrated by an injection well and a gas production well by first introducing liquefied or gaseous carbon dioxide through the injection well into the coal seam and subsequently introducing a weakly adsorbable gas, for example nitrogen, through the injection well and into the coal seam. As the weakly adsorbable gas passes through the coal seam, it forces the carbon dioxide through the seam. If the carbon dioxide is in liquefied form, it evaporates as it moves through the seam, and the carbon dioxide gas desorbs methane from the coal and sweeps it toward the production well. The methane is withdrawn from the seam through the production well.

Abstract: An electric vehicle is powered by a source (4) of electric power such as a battery carried onboard the vehicle. The traction motor (6) of the vehicle is an electric motor to which at least one driven wheel (8) is coupled. The vehicle further includes powered steering means (10) for steering the vehicle and an electric actuator (12) for actuating the powered steering means (10). Sensing means (14) are provided for sensing a non-zero voltage of at least a pre-determined polarity across the windings of the traction motor (6). When this non-zero voltage is sensed, operation of the electric actuator (12), and hence the powered steering (10), is enabled. Thus, when the vehicle is stationary so that the powered steering means (10) is not required to be operational, the electric actuator (12) for actuating the powered steering means (10) is disabled.

Abstract: A locking device ensures that a plug part (1) is held with high tensile strength in a socket part (3). The locking device has at least one detent pawl (5) which can be locked behind a detent element (6) when the plug part is completely inserted.

Abstract: Un élément de fixation étalonné, tel qu'un boulon (10), possède un trou (18) s'étendant à partir d'une face terminale (16) et pouvant recevoir une goupille de repère (30). L'ensemble boulon (10) et goupille de repère (30) est préréglé, ce qu'on obtient en appliquant une charge de traction prédéterminée sur le boulon, en insérant la goupille de repère (30) dans le trou (18) et en la faisant tourner jusqu'à ce que son extrémité (34) vienne en contact avec l'extrémité interne du trou (18). Une marque (28) est ensuite faite sur la face terminale (16) du boulon (10) au niveau de l'indicateur (40). La goupille de repère (30) est alors retirée du trou (18) et la force de traction relâchée. Le boulon est ensuite expédié à l'utilisateur avec la goupille de repère (30). Lorsqu'on utilise le boulon, on réinsère la goupille de repère (30) dans le trou (18) et on la visse jusqu'à ce que son extrémité vienne en contact avec l'extrémité interne du trou. Lorsqu'on a serré le boulon, provoquant l'allongement de la tige (12) du boulon (10), et par conséquent l'allongement du trou (18), on peut vérifier la charge du boulon en faisant tourner régulièrement la goupille de repère (30) afin de maintenir un contact entre l'extrémité de la goupille et l'extrémité interne du trou jusqu'à ce que l'indicateur (40) atteigne la marque (28) située sur la face terminale (16) du boulon, indiquant que la charge prédéterminée a été atteinte.

Abstract: L'invention a pour objectif de réduire l'astigmatisme, d'assurer un pouvoir réfringent uniforme, d'empêcher des irrégularités de réflexion dues à l'existence d'une pluralité de plans réfringents, et de réduire la taille d'un système de lentilles dans un appareil de correction de puissance visuelle du type à foyer variable dans lequel une pluralité de lentilles optiques sont superposées de manière que leurs méridiens principaux coïncident mutuellement, et dont le pouvoir réfringent change lors d'un mouvement de glissement relatif dans le sens du plan de superposition le long des méridiens. Le degré d'astigmatisme de la lentille se présentant sous la forme d'une seule substance constituant l'appareil de correction de pouvoir visuel du type à foyer variable est établi de manière que lorsque le degré est exprimé par des lignes de contour ayant un écart de dioptrie arbitraire, chaque ligne de contour est parallèle au méridien et décrit une ligne droite, le degré du pouvoir réfrigent est rectangulaire par rapport au méridien et il décrit une ligne droite. Cette structure peut éliminer l'astigmatisme, le pouvoir réfringent dans la région où les lentilles des lunettes se superposent mutuellement devient constant, et l'on obtient une lentille pour lunettes ayant un rendement optique équivalent à celui d'une lentille monofocale.

Title: Folding frame for children's or dolls' prams.
Inventor: KLAUBE HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: B62B7/10
Filed: 1993-04-28
Abstract: Folding frames for children's or dolls' prams essentially have two front and two rear stays crossed scissors-fashion which are secured to bearing stays. The variable lower pivot points of the front and rear stays, however, lead to a highly unstable system also subject to mechanical stresses, while the crossing point of the front and rear stays results in reductions in their cross-section. A solution to this problem is found in that the stays (1, 2) are hinged on immovable pivot points (7) on connecting stays (10) in the lower region and in the central region there is, at the crossing point of the stays (1, 2), a connecting component (4) having a bush (6) arranged to be movable along one of the two stays (1, 2), the bush (6) being connected to a pivot (5) in the central region of the other stay (1, 2).

Title: Systems with increased information rates using embedded sample modulation and predistortion equalization
Inventor: NEWHALL EDMUNDE EUGENE
IPC: H04B3/14
Filed: 1993-07-09
Abstract: A system is described which achieves an increased rate of transmission by transmitting multiple symbols in one symbol time. The information in the overlapping symbols can be recovered if the symbol used for transmission is chosen so that a subset of the samples representing the symbol has an inverse. The construction of suitable symbols is illustrated. Effective operation of the system depends on equalization which will recover the baseband signal shape. Methods of equalization are depicted which are suitable for use with this system including equalization realized by predistorting the signal at the transmitter so that it arrives at the receiver undistorted. The invention is applied to baseband and passband systems and the application of predistortion equalization to the fading passband channel is described.
