Title: Vacuum cleaner head
Inventor: SCHUPP ANDREAS
IPC: A47L9/06
Filed: 1997-02-04
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head, for attachment directly to a vacuum cleaner body having a central longitudinal axis, has exposed bristles with remote ends on a plane off-set by about 70 DEG  to the central axis. The bristles 14 and IS extend along opposing sides of a lower surface of the head in strips at either side of a channel 18 through which dust and debris gathered up by the bristles passes into the vacuum body. The off-set plane means that when the body is held directly or by a handle, a natural comfortable sweeping action, with the handle axis at about 20 DEG  to the vertical, keeps both strips of bristle in contact with the swept surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Removal of oil and chloride from oil contaminated material
Inventor: ROBERTS BRIAN G
IPC: B09C1/02
Filed: 1999-12-13
Abstract: A method for chemically removing hydrocarbons from oil contaminated material is described. The method comprises contacting the material containing the oil with a combinations of surfactants in an oil carrier similar to or identical to the oil to be removed. This process avoids the use of water. Therefore the process does not compromise the quality of the oil by having water as a contaminant and thus eliminating the possibility of oil contaminated water getting into the environment. In certain examples, when the process is used to remove oil from land based well bore cuttings, the processed well bore cuttings contain high levels of chlorides, which is an environmental problem. In such examples the method also includes contacting the well bore cuttings with a solution of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate in water to reduce the chloride concentration. An apparatus designed for this purpose is also described.

Title: Method for resolution of stereoisomers in multiphase and extractive membrane reactors
Inventor: MATSON STEPHEN L
IPC: C12N11/08
Filed: 1988-03-31
Abstract: This invention relates to novel methods for facilitating the enzymatic resolution of racemic mixtures of esters, which are derivatized with groups which enhance the esters' aqueous solubility, in an extractive member reactor where the enzyme is placed alternatively either (1) in the aqueous phase, (2) in association with the membrane, or (3) in the aqueous phase and in association with the membrane, wherein the aqueous ester phase is contacted with one side of the membrane, and where an organic extractive phase is contacted with the other side of the membrane, wherein the extractive phase serves to remove the resolving reaction product. Of particular significance regarding this invention is its use of water soluble esters that are derivatized with groups which enhance their aqueous solubility and their reactivity with enzymatic resolving methods which are mediated in an aqueous environment. Novel methods were utilized to prepare these esters, for use in this invention's methods for enzymatically resolving the racemic mixtures of the esters, to produce the separate chiral isomers of the racemic mixture. The importance of the resolution of the separate chiral isomers of the racemic mixtures resides in the isolation of the isomers which frequently have different biological activities.

Filed: 1995-05-03
Abstract: A convolutional interleaver and addressing scheme are provided. Up to B consecutive symbols containing errors can be interleaved such that they are separated from each other by at least N intervening symbols. Memory, such as RAM, is configured to provide (B-1) cells of increasing size for storing symbols from a data stream. A first one of the cells (CELL 1) has M storage locations adapted to store M symbols. Each successive one of the cells (CELL 2; CELL 3) has M more storage locations than the immediately preceding cell for storing M more symbols than the immediately preceding cell, where M=N/B. The cells are successively addressed to write a next symbol from the stream into a next write symbol location in a currently addressed cell and to read a symbol from the location of the currently addressed cell immediately following the next write symbol location. The locations are accessed in a first revolving manner such that the last location in a cell is followed by the first location in that cell. The cells are addressed in a second revolving manner such that the (B-1)th cell is followed by the first cell, or vice versa. An intervening transfer stage can be provided within the RAM between the (B-1)th cell and the first cell to directly transfer the next symbol to the interleaver output. Each consecutive symbol from the stream is written into a next consecutive one of the cells. A deinterleaver is provided having the same structure.
