Title: Siding panel tab and slot joint
Inventor: STEFFES STEPHEN W
IPC: E04F13/08
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: A panel for polypropylene injection molded siding, and for similar materials and/or uses, is mounted in lapped courses with panels attached at butt joints in a direction of elongation. Complementary tabs and slots at the panel ends can be engaged by end-to-end approach of the abutting panels. Additionally, openings for the tabs permit engagement from a position in which the panel ends are already overlapped, which reduces or eliminates the need for endwise assembly space.  The slots can be discontinuous on one or both sides, openings permitting lateral insertion of the tabs at gaps, whereupon movement of the tabs along the slots engages the joint. The panels can simulate wood siding and include a step between simulated courses. A gap is provided in the edge of the panel at the step, thus forming an opening for the tab to enter and move along the slot.

Inventor: WINIARSKI ROBERT
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2004-12-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for terminating an end of an optical cable is disclosed such that coaxial tubes of the cable and fibers therein are all prevented from moving relative to one another. For some embodiments, the coaxial tubes crimp together by a mechanical crimp that compresses the outer tube onto the inner tube without roller crimping. A fiber retention subassembly crimps to one of the coaxial tubes, and an adhesive fills the fiber retention subassembly, thereby fixing the fibers therein and isolating tension from the ends of the fibers that extend from the fiber retention subassembly. The ends of the fibers of the optical cable connect with fibers of another optical cable or device by a fusion splice. A splice cover holds and/or seals the spliced section and prevents relative movement between the optical cables or the optical cable and the device at the spliced section.

Title: Outlet device for a container or vessel
Inventor: RODD TIMOTHY
IPC: B05B9/04
Filed: 2003-08-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an outlet device and nozzle arrangement adapted to be fitted to a pressurised and non-pressurised vessels or containers respectively and to permit fluid present in said vessels or containers to be dispensed under pressure. Both the outlet device and the nozzle arrangement have bodies which define an inlet, an outlet and an internal fluid flow passageway through which fluid can flow from said inlet to said outlet. In addition, the bodies of the outlet device and the nozzle arrangement of the present invention additionally comprises a resiliently deformable wall member which defines an internal surface of fluid flow passageway and which is configured such that, when fluid is caused to flow through the outlet device/nozzle arrangement under pressure, the resiliently deformable wall undergoes a resilient deformation from an initial resilientl y- biased configuration in which the passageway is closed to a distended configuration whereby fluid can flow through the passageway and be dispensed through the outlet. Furthermore, the resiliently deformable wall is configur ed to revert to the initial resiliently biased configuration when the operation of the actuator means is ceased and thereby cause any fluid remaining in sai d portion of the passageway to be expelled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and several arrangements for determining signal degradations of an optical signal transmitted in a transmission signal in the presence of signal distortions, wherein at least one part of the optical signal is fed to an adaptive optical or electric filter at a place of measurement in the transmission system and is subsequently measured according to one or several quality parameters. A first measurement of the quality parameter is carried out by transparent adjustment of the adaptive filter and other measurements of the quality parameters are carried out with predefined transparency properties of the adaptive optical filter which respectively have an influence upon signal distortions. As a result it is possible to analyze or to separate signal-influencing effects or groups of effects. In another embodiment of the invention, the filter parameters of an optical/electric equalizer or filter structure, which are adjusted by said analysis, are described according to optimization of the signal quality.
