Title: Focused coupon system
Inventor: DE LAPA JAMES P
IPC: G06Q20/20
Filed: 1993-06-14
Abstract: FOCUSED COUPON SYSTEM               ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A merchandising system for generating and redeeming product discount coupons prints coupons for a selected consumer from a group of consumers by selecting particular coupons from a group of coupons to provide to the selected consumer and printing the coupons.  Both the consumer and coupon identifications are encoded on the coupon in machine-readable form whereby the machine-readable code may be read at a point-of-sale terminal using a code reading apparatus. The portion of the read code corresponding to the consumer identification is replaced with a generic code to provide a substitute code.  The substitute code is applied to a look-up table in order to determine coupon parameters related to the coupon identification.  The entire machine-readable code may also be captured and uploaded to a central database for determining the coupon identification and consumer identification in order to update the database of consumers and coupons.  In this manner, coupons redeemed by a consumer may be used in selecting future coupons for that consumer.          The system may provide for coupon redemption by providing sufficient information to a manufacturer in order to generate a rebate to the retailer.

Abstract: LOAD-DISTRIBUTING PLATFORM TRANSPORT APPARATUS   ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         The invention provides a load-distributing platform transport apparatus comprising a housing, a platform disposed in the housing and movable in the first direction, a capstan rotatably mounted to the housing and an endless cable guidably coupled to the housing and wound about the capstan to move therewith.  The cable is configured to have four segments generally parallel and movable in the same direction simultaneously, the platform being fastened to each of the four segments.  Means for rotating the capstan, such as an electric motor, are provided.  When the capstan is rotated, it translates the endless cable such that each of the four segments moves in a desired direction thereby moving the platform.  By providing an endless cable to which the platform is attached at four separate points, no part of the platform can move in a particular direction without the remaining points of attachment also moving.

Title: Method and apparatus for cutting circular patterns from generally flat, irregular shaped solids material
Inventor: VINCENT JACQUES
IPC: B23Q27/00
Filed: 1993-09-01
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE   Conventional methods of producing circular patterns from generallly flat, irregular shaped solids are often time consuming and the accuracy of the finished product dependant upon the skills of the workman carrying out the method. An alternative and fast and efficient method wherein re-peatability of accuracy is readily achieved, makes use of a jig comprised of an elongate, generally rectangular support frame, which frame is mounted at one end to a work surface and at the other end to a cutting tool table such as is common with shaper or router tools. A flat platform is slidably mounted on the upper side of the support frame with movement of the platform along the length of the support frame controlled by the action of a lead screw threadably inserted into the underside of the platform at one end, supportively mounted through an end of the support frame at the other end and terminated in a hand wheel whereby rotation of the lead screw in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction is achieved. As the screw is rotated a corresponding horizontal move-ment of the platform upon the support frame is obtained. A flat, irregular shaped solid is drilled at the approximate center point of the desired finished circle and placed over a mandrel shaft vertically threaded into the platform. The platform, carrying the solid is advanced toward the cutting tool and the solid horizontally rotated about the platform against the cutting action of the tool. The platform is incrementally advanced toward the cutting tool until the desired diameter of the finished circle is obtained.

Title: Sole construction for a sport shoe
Inventor: ROMO REIMA J
IPC: A43B13/18
Filed: 1993-09-30
Abstract: ABSTRACT    A sole construction for a sports shoe including a wear sole and a resilient layer arranged between the upper of the shoe and the wear sole.   The resilient layer is made of a substantially homogeneous material having a substantially constant hardness.          Perforations are formed in the resilient layer in the areas of the heel portion and the foot arch portion.  The perforations extend through the resilient layer from the upper to the wear sole so as to produce the desired properties of resilience and attenuation and the  desired  support  effect  in  the  sole  construction.    The perforated area in relation to the area of the resilient layer, is at a maximum in the area of the rear part of the heel portion so as to make the elasticity and the attenuation of the sole construction maximal in this area.  When moving from the area of the rear part of the heel portion forwards toward the area of the foot arch portion, the perforated area becomes smaller and the non-perforated area becomes accordingly larger so as to increase the support effect of the sole construction.

Title: Process and arrangement for the differential modulation of signals in a multi-channel transmission system
Inventor: MUELLER ANDREAS
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 1992-04-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a digital modulation process and an arrangement for a multi-channel transmission system in which the data flow is distributed over a plurality of sub-carriers lying close together in the frequency range. Neighbouring sub-carriers are interlinked in such a way that the data on two adjacent sub-carriers are transmitted in phase difference. If such a frequency-differential modulation is coupled to a prior art differential modulation in which data symbols on a sub-carrier following one another in time are transmitted in phase difference, a markedly better transmission quality is obtained in the signals in the radio channels.

Title: Magnesium oxychloride cement compositions and methods for manufacture and use
Inventor: ALLEY RUSSELL I
IPC: C04B28/32
Filed: 1991-04-02
Abstract: Magnesium oxychloride cement compostions, products, and uses thereof, are provided by mixing a magnesium oxide com-position, a magnesium chloride brine solution, and aggregate particles. The cement compositions are adapted for use in repairing damaged concrete surfaces, casting both functional and decorative forms, and coating surfaces with stucco. The addition of a small amount of acid may be added to the cement composition to promote a more complete cementing reaction. The resulting ce-ment product exhibits substantially increased strength and water resistance.  Brine from the Great Salt Lake is a preferable source of the magnesium chloride brine solution. Brine from the Great Salt Lake, which contains various mineral impurities, results in a cement composition substantially stronger than cement produced from a pure magnesium chloride brine solution.

IPC: A61N5/073
Filed: 1992-11-20
Abstract: An improved device, which uses cold red and infra-red radiation for the photodynamic stimulation of cells, specially cells of human tissue. The described improved device produces a constant energy radiation by help of semiconductor- and/or laser - diodes, which furthermore radiate light in more separate wavelengths due to a special operation mode. With help of sensors the advanced controller-system is able to test the patients for the needed radiation doses in order to avoid over-stimulation. Furthermore the radiation openings in the applicators are advantageable covered of a polarisation filter, whereby the absorption of the irradiated tissue is increased. The basic equipment consists of a moveable stand, with which machine-applicators are connected with a joint-arm. The machine-applicators are invented for the treatment of large area tissues, for example, the back of humans. The stand freely moveable on wheels consists of a control mechanism, whereby the different needed data for therapy can be adjusted and switched ON and OFF. The moveable stand is also connected with a hand-applicator designed for the treatment of small tissue-areas, e.g. acupuncture points. Another version of hand-applicator is especially invented for dental treatment, whereby the head-piece of the hand-applicator can be connected with an expander containing an optical fiber. 16~
