Abstract: A superabrasive tool such as a superabrasive
grindstone (101; 102), a superabrasive dresser (103; 104;
105) or a superabrasive lap surface plate (106) comprises
a base (20) of steel and a superabrasive layer (10) formed
on the base (20). The superabrasive layer (10) includes
superabrasive grains (11) consisting of diamond grains,
cubic boron nitride grains or the like and a holding layer
consisting of a nickel plating layer (16) and a bond layer
(17) or a brazing filler metal layer (18) holding the
superabrasive grains (11) and fixing the same onto the
base (20). Grooves (12) or holes (14) are formed on flat
surfaces (19) of the superabrasive grains (11) exposed
from the holding layer (16, 17; 18). The holding layer (16,
17; 18) holding and fixing the superabrasive grains (11)
so that the surfaces are partially exposed is formed on
the base (20). The grooves (12) or the holes (14) are
formed by irradiating the surfaces of the superabrasive
grains (11) exposed from the holding layer (16, 17; 18)
with a laser beam (50). Working of high accuracy can be
performed by forming the grooves (12) or the holes (14) on

Abstract: A novel filter passes thermoplastics to extruders and pressure injection moulding machines. It includes replaceable filter elements (4, 5) in carriers (2, 3) located in two side channels (8a, 9a; 8b, 9b) in the filter casing (1). These channels connect in parallel between the main inlet- and outlet channels (6, 7). The filter carriers are inserted or removed through casing bores. Ahead of the carriers, in the main inlet channel (6), a block valve (10) is set to pass the thermoplastic to both filter elements. It has alternative positions preventing flow from the main channel into either one of the side channels. In these positions, the appropriate dirty sieve side (S) is connected to a take-off channel. In the novel design, the blocking unit (10) comprises a bolt or spool crossing the main inlet channel and adjustable transversely to the flow direction. The through-flow path from the main inlet into the side channels passes a necking (12) formed into the outer circumference of the bolt (11).

Abstract: The invention is directed to making inorganic
materials consisting of a metal and a group 16 element
in the stoichiometric ratio of 2:3 from single source
precursors having the same 2:3 metal to heteroatom
stoichiometric ratio. 
     In particular, the invention discloses a process
for making aluminum oxide from single source precursors
that have an aluminum to oxygen ratio of 2:3. The
precursors are organoaluminum tetrametallic compounds
containing organooxy bridging groups and organo
terminal groups. As these compounds tend to be viscous
liquids or oils, they can be applied to a substrate
surface then pyrolyzed to eliminate the organic ligands
and produce aluminum oxide in situ, without using gas
phase deposition techniques.

Abstract: In order to improve carry to interference ratios on
the down link in mobile communications networks, it is
proposed to transmit on the down link in a beam steered at
the base station towards the mobile terminal. In order to
do that it is necessary to know in which direction the
mobile terminal is located. 
     There is disclosed a method of ascribing a direction
to the location of a mobile terminal from an antenna
array. 
     A sequence of symbols from each antenna 2 in the
array, is stored. The sequence contains a known training
sequence. The sequence is space processed iteratively so as
to produce the effect of the array having a major lobe in
its polar diagram at a plurality of different successive
directions. A set of crosscorrelation metrics is derived by
calculating a crosscorrelation metric for each direction
between the combined signals and the known training
sequence. The ratio is calculated of the crosscorrelation
metric for each direction to the power of the combined
signals for that direction to produce a set of direction
metrics. A direction is ascribed to the mobile terminal
using the direction metrics to determine which direction is
most likely.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light-absorbing contact lens (20) and process for preparing same. A contact lens (20) is tinted with colorants which provide desired spectral transmittance characteristics over the tinted portion (24) of the lens (20). The contact lens (20) provides transmittance of incident radiation having a wavelength from 500 to 700 nm which is variable and wavelength-dependent. The lens (20) also preferably filters out UV and blue light (wavelengths from 200 to about 500 nm). Various transmittance patterns for wavelengths from 500 to 700 nm are obtainable by appropriate choice of colorant combinations. The transmittance curve in this region and the colorants to achieve the desired transmittance characteristics are chosen to fill particular needs of the wearer; for example, limiting the transmittance of visible light in high intensity light environments. Lenses (20) according to the invention may provide unique benefits for use with particular applications such as sporting or recreational activities. Hard and soft contact lenses are shown as well as examples of specialized lenses for particular applications.
