Abstract: A resonator can provide good loss characteristics by effectively suppressing power losses due to an edge effect.      In addition, a filter, a duplexer, and a communication device incorporating the resonator are formed. In the resonator, a plurality of spiral lines are disposed on a surface of a dielectric substrate in such a manner that the two ends of the lines are aligned on the perimeter around a central point on the substrate so that the lines do not cross each other. With this arrangement, the edge portions of the spiral lines are substantially canceled, by which power losses due to the edge effect can be effectively suppressed.

Patent CA-2302117-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCUERO ALBERTO M
IPC: E01C3/06
Filed: 2000-03-27
Abstract: A geocomposite system for increasing the service life of roads, bridges, or the like, includes a geocomposite layer having a geomembrane disposed between two geotextile backings, a structural layer for supporting the geocomposite layer, and a base layer formed on top of the geocomposite layer. The geomembrane is impermeable and the geotextile backings are sufficiently porous to provide a wicking action of moisture or liquid laterally along the geomembrane and out of the geocomposite system to prevent moisture or liquid damage. The geomembrane prevents the intrusion of liquids including deicing salts into the structural layers of roads, bridges, or the like abating deterioration in the structural layers such as corrosion of reinforcing steel. The geocomposite layer is bonded to and conforms to the structural layer, thus reducing reflective, shrinkage and fatigue cracking and increasing the structural capacity of the road or bridge.  Preferably, the geomembrane is an extruded polyvinylchloride web and the geotextile backings are fabricated of a mat of non-woven polyester fibers. The geotextile backings are heat coupled to the geomembrane, preferably using a calendaring process. The geocomposite layer is also bonded to the base layer. In the related method, the geocomposite system is constructed by fabricating the geocomposite layer, applying a tack coat to the structural layer, placing the geocomposite layer with the geotextile backing down on the prepared structural layer, rolling the geocomposite to provide conformity with the structural layer, applying a tack coat to the other geotextile backing and forming and bonding the base layer on the geocomposite layer.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of making slide-zippered reclosable packages on horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machines and horizontal form-vertical-fill-seal (HVFS) machines. In an embodiment of the present invention, a chain of packages is formed, filled and sealed on an HFFS machine or the like. A pair of opposing film extensions are provided on each package. As the chain of packages is indexed forwardly, a reclosable zipper is inserted between the film extensions of the leading package and sealed thereto. A slider is then inserted on to the reclosable zipper of the leading package and the completed leading package is cut from the chain. In a second embodiment packages having reclosable zippers are output from an HFFS machine or the like, either individually or in a chain. A slider is then inserted on to the zipper of each package in turn. Still further in a third embodiment packages are formed, filled and sealed on an HFFS machine or the like. During package formation, a reclosable zipper is sealed to each package and then a slider is inserted on to the zipper. Still further, in a fourth embodiment packages are formed, filled and sealed on horizontal form-vertical fill-seal (HVFS) machine or the like. During package formation, a reclosable zipper is sealed to each package and a slider is inserted on to each zipper, either before or after zipper sealing.

Title: Contaminant recovery system and method
Inventor: SUTHERLAND GEORGE
IPC: C02F1/44
Filed: 1995-06-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a system for separating oil and other immiscible contaminants from a liquid body containing the contaminants such as a water body. The system includes the use of a plurality of microporous hollow fibers (16, 18) which may be arranged in any number of arrangements such as bundles, intersecting arrangements, divergent patterns or in a mat-like arrangement or a combination of the foregoing. The hollow fibers are in communication with a source of suction (28) in order to draw the contaminant via the pores into the fibers for subsequent storage in a suitable container (20, 22). By incorporating acceptable means of density control a substantial amount of the hollow fiber surface area may be exposed to the contaminant thus increasing the extraction efficiency of the contaminant from the water body. The unit optionally may be self-contained. This system provides a substantial advantage over existing arrangements in that extraction efficiency is greatly enhanced in any number of environments.
