Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of preparing metal fluoride crystals that are
suitable for making optical elements that can be used in below 200 nm lithographic
equipment and processes. In accordance with the invention, metal fluoride particles,
substantially all of which have a size of 1 mm or greater, are treated with an oxygen
scavenger material just prior to being melted and used to grow a metal fluoride single
crystal. In one embodiment of the invention a metal fluoride raw material is treated with an
oxygen scavenger to remove oxygen containing impurities, liquefied and cooled to form a
premelt material. The premelt material is then broken into particles having a range of sizes
and separated by sieving or other separation methods known in the art into at least a group
of particles substantially all of which have a size of 1 mm or larger and a group of particles
having a size of less than 1 mm. The 1 mm and larger material is used to grow metal
fluoride single crystals having improved transmission properties in the rage 120-220nm. 
The less than 1 mm material can be recycled. Particles of 1 mm or greater prepared by other
methods known in the art can also be used in practicing the invention.

Title: PROCESSING DIFFERENT SIZE PACKET HEADERS FOR A PACKET−BASED CONVERSATIONAL SERVICE IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
Inventor: BERGENLID LARS HERBERT
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-02-07
Abstract: The capacity and coverage of a packet-based conversational service in a mobile communications system is increased by efficiently provisioning resources for packets that have different length headers transported over the radio interface during the period over which the service is provided. A radio bearer or connection is established between a mobile radio and a radio network to support a packet-based conversational service. The radio bearer or connection is normally configured with radio resources to deliver a particular quality of service assuming that the packet headers will be highly compressed. The length of packets to be transmitted via the radio bearer is checked. Those packets which are longer because of less header compression are detected. Processing is performed to minimize or reduce that impact on system capacity or coverage when the detected packets are transmitted over the radio bearer or connection.

Abstract: An interior trim panel, such as a headliner, formed by a substrate composed of a fibrous or porous batt material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The substrate includes a first, back side and second, front side. In order to increase the strength of the substrate, dimples or impressions are formed in the back side of the substrate and corresponding projections are formed extending from the opposite front side by simultaneously compressing both sides of the fibrous batt material. A structural layer of material is then attached to the substrate, preferably to the projections of the substrate, resulting in an 'I-beam' structure that further enhances the strength of the interior trim panel. In another embodiment, a second layer of fibrous or porous batt material may be placed between the projections before fixedly attaching the structural layer of material to the substrate.

Abstract: A pipe coupling ( 11 ) comprises a tubular casing ( 12 ) and a sealing gasket ( 13 ), which fit over the ends of the pipes to be coupled. The casing ( 12 ) is formed from a strip of rolled steel into a cylindrical shape, with a longitudinal gap ( 14 ). The free ends of the strip, which forms the casing, are bent outwardly to form radially projecting flange ( 15 ) along opposite edges of the longitudinal gap ( 14 ). The outer ends of the flanges ( 15 ) are bent back at right angles to form stiffening flanges ( 16 ) along the longitudinal outer edges of the flanges ( 15 ). A bridging member ( 18 ) fits inside the casing so as to span the longitudinal gap. Tensioning screw bolts ( 25 ) pass through reinforcing plate's ( 20 ) and the flange ( 15 ). A hexagonal nut ( 34 ) is threaded onto the end of each screw bolt. The nuts fit into the channel but are prevented from turning. The heads ( 35 ) of the bolts have a hexagonal recess to take an Allen key so that they can be tightened to clamp the coupling around the pipe ends.
