Patent EP-0624171-A1 (EP)
Title: Thermoplastic elastomers.
Inventor: BITLER STEVEN P
IPC: A61K47/34
Filed: 1992-10-06
Abstract: A novel thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which comprises (i) polymeric A blocks in which there are side chains comprising crystallizable moieties having a melting point Tq, and (ii) at least one amorphous polymeric B block having a glass transition point, Tgs, which is less than (Tq - 10) DEG C. The relative proportions and molecular weights of the A and B blocks can be adjusted so as to produce desired physical properties with comparatively little change in Tq, which depends chiefly upon the nature of the crystallizable moieties, which may be for example n-alkyl groups containing 12 to 50 carbon atoms. The novel TPE's show a sharply reduced viscosity in the region of Tq, and can be melt-processed at temperatures close to Tq. The novel TPE's are useful in the form of compositions, shaped articles and assemblies which comprise one of the novel TPE's and a second component which is mixed with, or surrounded by, or surrounds or otherwise provides a substrate for, the TPE. Preferred second components are explosives and other energetic materials, pharmaceuticals, seeds, perfumes, deodorizers, pest control agents, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, biologically active materials, agrichemicals, and disinfectants. Second components can be released from such a composition or shaped article by a natural increase in the ambient temperature or by heating the composition or article to a temperature at least equal to Tq by means of heat which is (i) generated artificially or (ii) generated by a mammalian body and/or (iii) is conveyed artificially to the composition, article or assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for inspecting finish dimensions of and detecting finish defects on containers moving sequentially in a predetermined path. More than one container can be inspected simultaneously. The apparatus includes one or more inspection gauges suspended above the container path. A transport system is provided for aiding in moving containers through the gauges and simultaneously axially rotating the containers about a vertical axis. Rotation of the containers allows the inspection gauges to inspect the entire circumference of the containers at one or more levels on the container simultaneously. Defective containers are detected when the relative separation distance between the gauge plates of the inspection gauge falls outside predetermined limits. If a defective container is detected, a rejection assembly may be activated to physically remove the defective container from the container path. A suspension system permits transverse movement of the inspection gauges to accommodate non-concentric containers therethrough. The method of this invention includes inspecting containers using in the apparatus of this invention.

IPC: G11B7/20
Filed: 1993-06-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reading digital audio signals photographically recorded on a medium (such as motion picture film). If the medium has multiple, spatially separated digital and analog audio soundtracks, a photosensitive detector array is employed for each of the digital audio soundtrack areas, and a separate analog soundtrack read head is employed. Preferably, digital error code is recorded in a digital soundtrack area of the medium (with digital audio bits), and error detection and correction are performed on the recorded digital audio bits read from the medium. Preferably, the apparatus includes switching circuitry for substituting a corresponding analog audio signal for one or more corrupted digital soundtrack channels, when such digital soundtrack channels have an error rate which exceeds a selected threshold. Also preferably, the apparatus reads recorded digital audio information by projecting a laser beam (having a near infrared wavelength) on a row of a digital soundtrack area of a motion picture film, to modulate the beam as it passes through the row. The radiation transmitted through each digital soundtrack bit area is projected onto a spot in the detector plane that is substantially larger than the dimension of each individual detector which receives the spot. As the film translates continuously relative to the radiation source so that the projection of the spot translates relative to each receiving detector, the output of each receiving detector is integrated over the period during which a portion of the spot is projected thereon.

Abstract: An NOx absorbent (6, 6A) is installed in an exhaust conduit (4) of an internal combustion engine (2) capable of fuel combustion at lean air-fuel ratios. An oxygen concentration is repeatedly or continuously decreased by, for example, switching the air-fuel from the lean air-fuel ratio to a stoichiometric or rich air fuel ratio when the exhaust gas temperature is higher than 550°C or when NOx absorbent temperature is higher than 500°C. As a result, the SOx absorbed in the NOx absorbent (6, 6A) during lean air-fuel ratio, low temperature operation is released from the NOx absorbent (6, 6A), and the SOx-poisoned NOx absorbent is recovered.

Abstract: An adjustable gastric banding device (10) for regulating the size of a stoma opening in the stomach of a patient includes an elongate band (12) having a portion (12a) that encircles the stomach so as to limit the food intake by the digestive portion of the stomach. The device can be readily implanted and removed using laparoscopic procedures. A locking element (20) protruding from a location near the distal end of the encircling band portion (12a) is inserted into a slot (22) formed in a receiving segment (126) at an intermediate location along the encircling band portion (12a) so as to form a circle or loop of fixed diameter. The receiving segment (12b) has a thickness which is greater than the thickness of the encircling band portion (12a) and of the rear portion (12c) of the band. A movable bolt (30) secures the locking element (20) in the slot (22). The bolt (30) can be displaced remotely, thus releasing the locking element (20) and allowing easy laparoscopic removal of the banding device (10). The entire circumference of the stomach encircling band portion (12a) is covered by an expandable section (24) in contact with the surface of the stomach. The size of the stoma opening can be adjusted by injecting into or removing fluid from the expandable section (24).

Abstract: The sheet profile of a strip on the outlet side of a final stand coincides with a desired value without deforming the shape of the strip, by using a hot strip finish rolling mill having a number of rolling stands disposed sequentially. The rolling mill employs feedback control of upstream stands to reduce the error between a sheet profile measured by a sheet profile meter disposed at the outlet side of a selected stand and a desired sheet profile. The selected stand is the stand where the sheet thickness of the strip is at the percentage sheet crown critical sheet thickness. The sheet profile measured by the sheet profile meter is used to control the downstream stands using feed-forward control to make the sheet profile on the outlet side of the final stand coincide with the desired sheet profile.

Abstract: Armatures for dynamo-electric machines are balanced during manufacture by measuring the unbalance of the armature assembly prior to winding the coils on the armature. The numbers of turns of wire in at least some of the coils subsequently wound on the armature are then adjusted so that the unbalance of the resulting coils compensates for the unbalance of the armature prior to coil winding. Alternatively, one or more extra turns of wire that are short-circuited at the commutator may be added to help balance the armature. In addition, masses may be added to the armature to ensure that it is balanced dynamically as well as statically.
