Title: Process and device for the parallel processing of molten and fritted glass in glass wool manufacture
Inventor: CHRISTODOULOPOULOS FOTIS
IPC: C03B19/02
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: A glass manufacturing process has the following steps: molten glass is generated in the melting end of a glass melting furnace (10), the molten glass is drawn into fibres in a first fibre production device (12), batches of fritted glass are intermittently withdrawn through the outlet of the melting end and inductively molten in a melting device (16), and the molten glass produced in the melting device is drawn into fibres in a second (18) or in the first fibre production device (12). The fritted glass is introduced into a melting container that can be inductively heated and is made of a non-metallic, high temperature-resistant and good conductive material, is heated up to a temperature above its softening temperature and is transferred into a second melting container made of a non-conductive refractory material. The disclosed device has a melting container (18) made of graphite and partially surrounded by an induction coil (22).

Inventor: LOTFI YOUNES J
IPC: H03K19/0175
Filed: 1996-07-11
Abstract: An output buffer is disclosed for an integrated circuit having a varying number of simultaneously switching outputs. As fewer outputs on the integrated circuit are simultaneously switching, the ouput conductance of certain logic gates within each of the output buffers on the integrated circuit is increased by sharing intermediate nodes (PUCOM, PDCOM) between each of the output buffers. Consequently, the speed of the output buffer increases as fewer of the outputs simultaneously switch and internally generated noiseis small. Conversely, as additional outputs simultaneously switch, the output conductance of certain logic gates within the output buffer is decreased, resulting in reduced speed of the output buffers and a corresponding reduction in internally generated noise.

Abstract: Système et procédé permettant à un utilisateur à distance de conserver une présence virtuelle dans le bureau d'une société et de se comporter de la même façon que s'il était physiquement présent dans ce bureau. Le téléphone de l'utilisateur à distance remplit une fonction de poste professionnel privé (PBX) et cet utilisateur peut envoyer et recevoir des télécopies et du courrier électronique, posséder un accès à Internet et conserver son raccordement aux réseaux locaux comme s'il était présent dans le bureau. Le système informatique à distance comprend un ensemble individuel de travail à distance ou dispositif de communication et l'ordinateur à distance exécute un logiciel de présence virtuelle. Le bureau de la société comprend un serveur de présence virtuelle relié au poste professionnel privé (PBX) de la société et, également, à son réseau local. Ce serveur exécute un logiciel permettant à l'utilisateur à distance de conserver une présence virtuelle au bureau. Il établit d'abord une présence virtuelle au niveau du bureau, y compris les informations d'identification et de sécurité. Une fois que l'utilisateur à distance est raccordé, le serveur de présence virtuelle donne l'instruction au PBX du bureau d'acheminer automatiquement tous ses appels. De ce fait, un collaborateur ou un tiers qui téléphone à l'utilisateur au bureau de la société, ou lui envoie une télécopie ou du courrier électronique, ne sait pas qu'il n'est pas présent physiquement dans le bureau, mais qu'il se trouve à un emplacement situé à distance. L'invention concerne également des procédés permettant d'annuler et de rétablir la présence virtuelle, afin de limiter les coûts des messages.

Abstract: Weight loss was noted in nude mice treated with cerulenin, a non-competitive inhibitor of FAS. Sustained reduction of adipocyte mass in humans without toxicity would significantly impact disease prevention worldwide. Aside from psychological and self-esteem improvement, weight loss via reduction of adipocyte mass may: (1) ameliorate hyperglycemia associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus thereby reducing diabetic complications such as arterial disease, blindness, cataracts, etc., (2) reduce hypertension, (3) reduce risk of coronary artery vascular disease and stroke, and (4) reduce the risk of other complications of massive obesity such as osteoarthritis, surgical complications, etc. There is also potential use in livestock and poultry to reduce the saturated fat content of meat products. Therefore FAS inhibitors are disclosed herein as novel agents for weight reduction. A family of compounds ( gamma -substituted- alpha -methylene- beta -carboxy- gamma -butyrolactones) whose synthesis was based on the cerulenin motif is shown herein to inhibit fatty acid synthesis, inhibit growth in certain susceptible tumor cells, and induce weight loss.

invention more specifically discloses a catalyst
system which is particularly useful for polymerizing
1,3-butadiene monomer into cis-1,4-polybutadiene, said
catalyst system being comprised of (a) an organocobalt
compound, (b) a trialkylaluminum compound and (c)
hexafluoro-2-propanol. The subject invention further
discloses a process for synthesizing
cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber which comprises
polymerizing 1,3-butadiene in the presence of (a) an
organocobalt compound, (b) a trialkylaluminum compound
and (c) hexafluoro-2-propanol.

Abstract: A device for injecting a non-oxidising gas into a furnace incorporates a graphite heating element (12) for heating a cylindrical enclosure (14) incorporating an inlet orifice (24) and an outlet orifice (26). The furnace is used for heating a lengthy object, a part of which is found in the cylindrical enclosure (14) between the inlet orifice (24) and the outlet orifice (26). The object and the furnace are displaced relative to each other according to the axial direction of the furnace. The injection device comprises two annular conduits for the passage of the non-oxidising gas, the conduits of each of the annuli being inclined at the same angle with respect to the axial direction of the furnace, and this angle being different for the annuli of the conduits, in a manner such that the non-oxidising gas is injected according to two gas curtains in the form of a cone. The gas is directed towards the summit of the cone and in the direction of withdrawal from the cylindrical enclosure (14), in a manner that prevents any air entering into the cylindrical enclosure (14) able to provoke the combustion of the graphite of the heating element.
