Abstract: An inexpensive, yet beautiful retaining wall may be formed with architecturally pleasing, coordinating or matching materials such as marble, granite, stone, metal or the like.  Architecturally pleasing, thin decorative facing panels are attached to retaining wall blocks which have hollow spaces to be filled with gravel or the like. The retaining wall is formed from several rows of such retaining wall blocks with the blocks in an upper row stacked upon the blocks in an adjacent lower row below the upper row and with the bottom edges of the upper row blocks being supported on adjacent lower row blocks. Decorative facing panels are provided which are substantially smaller in size than the retaining wall blocks and include a rear face attached to the front face of the blocks to change the outward appearance of the front faces of the blocks.  The retaining wall blocks are made of masonry material or a plastic material. Reinforcing ribs are formed in the walls of the hollow plastic blocks to add strength and rigidity while reducing the amount of plastic needed for the blocks.  A keyway and key are formed in the front faces of the blocks and rear faces of the decorative facing panels for securing the decorative facing panels flush against the front faces of the blocks and an adhesive may also be used to attach the facing panels to the blocks.  To hold the blocks against shifting laterally, depending tabs on the upper blocks in the retaining wall may be inserted into receiving spaces in the underlying blocks on the wall.

Abstract: The lithographic affinity characteristics of a material, such as a polymer, are affected - and thereby selectively modulated - through implantation of one or more metallic materials, typically in the form of ion s and/or atoms (or molecules). The desired characteristics are achieved by bulk chemical modification of the material rather than by texturing or deposition of a new surface layer. In the case of a polymer system, for example, the metal impregnates the matrix, penetrating t o an observable depth without substantial surface accumulation.

Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: A method is provided for the use of borates in the recausticization of alkali- containing liquors such as those produced in the chemical and semi-chemical pulping of wood and in the oxidation and bleaching of wood pulp. Sodium hydroxide is regenerated from sodium carbonate-containing smelts in such pulp processes by autocausticization through the addition of limited amounts of borate. Autocausticization may be carried out at boron to carbonate molar ratios below 2:1 and at sodium to boron molar ratios exceeding 3:1, resulting in high reaction efficiency. Partial autocausticization using borate may also be combined with conventional lime recausticization for the regeneration of sodium hydroxide from sodium carbonate-containing smelts.

Abstract: A packer for sealing a space downhole in a well. The packer comprises a deformable sheath (16) having a body (22) and first and second ends (18, 20) for defining an interior volume (24) proximate a tool surface (12). A material located within the interior volume (24) is deformable, when the sheath second end (20) is moved toward the sheath first end (18), t o move the deformable sheath (16) into the downhole space. The sheath (16) can function as a seali ng element or a backup element, and can be applied to different structures and tool configurations downhole in a wellbore (32). For example, the packer can be applied to plugs, to through tubing mandrels, and to other well tools in open hole or cased wellbore configurations.

Title: Equipment for the process of continuously feeding packaging material
Inventor: MATHEYKA THOMAS
IPC: B65B9/06
Filed: 1999-12-08
Granted: 2006-01-24
Abstract: In order to produce bags from continuously run film tubes, heated pairs of tools are used, the carriers of which rotate around an axis in such a manner, that they are pressed against each other at the distance of the bag length, acting on the film tube. During the duration of the process the tools run synchronously with the flow of the material. In order to achieve a higher throughput the number of tools used can be raised according to this invention, maintaining the same sealing time by mounting the tools (6,16) correspondingly their carriers (1,11) via cranks (2,12) on drive shafts (3,13 correspondingly 4,14) in a cantilevered manner, i.e. freely sticking out. Through this tools on opposing sides can mesh and be run independently from each other.

Title: Robotic end effector with counter-rotating fingers
Inventor: GRAMS ROBERT S
IPC: B25J15/10
Filed: 2000-03-14
Granted: 2008-09-09
Abstract: An improved end effector for use with a robot includes a pair of carriages.  Each carriage supports a pair of fingers and at least one actuator. Each actuator is interconnected with the associated pair of fingers to counter-rotate the fingers.  One or both of the carriages is movable toward the other carriage to engage trays on a conveyor system with the fingers. The robot moves the end effector between the conveyor system and shipping containers for shipping the trays. Because the pairs of fingers counter-rotate, the friction forces between each finger and the tray is offset by the friction forces between the other finger in the pair and the tray.  The improved end effector thereby maintains trays substantially in the desired stacking orientation within the shipping container. Preferably, an actuator is provided for each finger. A change-out mechanism may also be provided to facilitate replacing the fingers.

Abstract: A chain such as that used in a fork lift truck carriage lifting mechanism has a plurality of interleaved link assemblies each having a pair of outer link plates and a plurality of intermediate link plates. The outer link plate has a strength less than that of any intermediate link plate when measured in an unassembled state. The reduced strength may be achieved by a reduction in thickness or head area of the link plate. The outer link plates may have a stiffness of 60 % to 90 % of the average stiffness across the chain and a first group of intermediate link plates of certain chain configurations have a stiffness of 70 % to 90 %  of the average stiffness of the chain. The invention provides for a chain in which the load is more evenly shared between link plates and allows a single composite chain to be replaced by two smaller chains without loss of toad capacity.

Title: Method and system for providing enhanced caller identification
Inventor: BRADY ROBIN DENISE
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1999-07-21
Granted: 2004-09-21
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for providing enhanced caller identification information to a called party. At step (110), the system determines whether or not standard caller identification information associated with a calling party can be provided to the called party. The system preferably determines whether the standard caller identification information is unavailable, incomplete or has been blocked. When the system determines that the standard caller identification information cannot be provided, the system transmits a request for audible caller identification information to the calling party at step (120).    If the calling party provides the requested audible caller identification information, the audible caller identification information is transmitted to the called party at step (130). The called party is thus provided with information about the calling party that can assist the called party in deciding whether or not to answer the call.
