Title: Collapsible boat
Inventor: JESWINE WILLIAM W
IPC: B63B7/02
Filed: 1996-12-20
Granted: 2000-05-23
Abstract: A collapsible boat whose lateral hull walls are retractable to reduce the width of the boat is provided. Port side and starboard side lateral hull walls are pivotally connected along their lower edges to the central hull section of the boat. When extended, the lateral hull walls form a sloping hull wall extending upward and outward from the bottom of the central hull section. When retracted, the lateral hull walls pivot inward to reduce the width of the boat. Port side and starboard side braces are pivotally connected to the upper lateral edges of the central hull section for movement between an engaged position and a retracted position. In the engaged position, the braces connect to the lateral hull walls to keep them in their extended position. In the retracted position, the braces are pivoted inward to allow the hull walls to retract.

Abstract: One or more patches (30, 32) adhered to a bag (21) have a first-patch-overhang-region (34) and a second-patch-overhang-region (36), wherein at least a portion of said first-patch-overhang-region is adhered to said second-patch-overhang-region. The overhang regions are preferably present on separate patches (30, 32) adhered to the bag. The patches (30, 32) can extend completely around the bag, eliminating uncovered regions, thereby providing protection against puncture by a bone-in meat product packaged within the bag.     This "full width patch bag" has been discovered to be particularly beneficial in reducing punctures in the packaging of whole bone-in pork loins. Other bag embodiments without patch overhangs are also disclosed, for solving the bone puncture problem by providing alternative full width patch bags.

Title: Ultraviolet curable epoxidized alkyds
Inventor: JONES RAYMOND H
IPC: C08G63/553
Filed: 1996-02-06
Granted: 2002-04-30
Abstract: The epoxidation of alkyds containing anhydrides or diacids with cycloaliphatic unsaturation results in epoxy resins which cure rapidly in UV light to produce uniform films without the use of flow modifiers. The fatty acid portion of the alkyd functions as an internal plasticizer. Crosslinking occurs through oxirane rings in both the anhydride and fatty acid moieties of the alkyd to produce hard, but not brittle films. Excellent water resistance is obtained without thermal post curing.

Filed: 1996-12-12
Granted: 2005-05-24
Abstract: In a fiber optic coil arrangement for use in rotation sensors, for example, axial or radial errors can be reduced or substantially eliminated by negatively trimming the fiber optic coil. As a result of the negative trimming, a sufficient amount of the predictable truns of the optical fiber is removed from the fiber optic coil so as to interrupt the predetermined pattern with which the fiber optic coil is wound in order to thereby reduce axial or radial related errors which would have otherwise resulted. Alternatively, the fiber optic coil may be negatively trimmed by terminating winding of the fiber optic coil before the predetermined pattern of the fiber optic coil has been completed. The point at which winding is terminated may be selected so as to reduce axial or radial related errors to a desired level.
