Title: Cabinet for secure storage of gas bottles
Inventor: KINGSTON JUSTIN
IPC: A47B96/14
Filed: 2006-08-18
Abstract: A cabinet or box is made of a steel outer casing and is intended for the secure storage of differing sized gas bottles. Unauthorized internal access to the box and contents is prevented by a set of stocks which can be slid into position and are locked when the box is closed. If these stocks get removed forcibly, there is a secondary set of stocks, which are pinned at both sides of the box. A ratchet strap ensures that the bottle(s) cannot be lifted out from the top of the box and access is only obtainable through the door. The cabinet has captive hinges that prevent forcible entry via the door. The box is also made of stainless steel plates to prevent drilling at the lock point side.

Title: Micro-cavity measuring equipment and method based on double optical fibre coupling
Inventor: TAN JIUBIN
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 2006-07-19
Abstract: A micro-cavity measuring equipment based on double optical fiber coupling includes a sight and transmitter, a controller, and a length measuring device. The equipment detects small changes in the position of an object with respect to a probe from a moment when the sight and transmitter starts working to another moment when the sight and transmitter stops working. The controller has a program to automatically control the whole measuring process. The measuring equipment is characterized in that the sight and transmitter consists of a laser unit, a data collecting and processin unit, and a double optical fiber coupling unit with its ends of incident and effluent optical fibers fixe on a coupler. A micro-cavity measuring method based on double optical fiber coupling consists of th following steps: inserting the probe into the micro-cavity and moving it in the measuring direction; sending signals to the length measuring device by the sight and transmitter to cause the length measuring device to record the corresponding position of the probe when the probe is contact with the sides of the micro-cavity; and then calculating the dimensions of the micro-cavity.

Title: Non-woven fibrous sheet materials
IPC: D04H1/70

Abstract: 920,202. Agglutinated fibrous fabrics; wadding; finishing paper. MINNESOTA MINING & MANUFACTURING CO. March 24, 1959 [March 24, 1958], No. 10165/59. Classes 42 (2) and 96. [Also in Group IX] A non-woven fibrous sheet fabric having openings therethrough is made by pulling a fibrous web, which has been sized with a solution of a fibre-bonding agent such as an acrylate polymer latex, while subjecting it to the action of needles which penetrate the web and vibrate in the plane of the web in a direction transversely of the direction of pulling. The web may be formed by carding and pressing staple fibres e.g. viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, nylon, polyester, glass or hemp fibres or mixtures thereof, which are interlaced and randomly positioned, or the web may be a water-laid tissue paper formed of such fibres and at an intermediate, or dried and completed, stage of manufacture. The needled web may be dried, with or without calendering, cut into sheets or slit and wound into rolls and/or it may be coated e.g. with abrasive particles. As shown, a dry carded web 1 is fed through squeeze rolls 2, 3, the lower of which dips into a bath of binding solution. The damped and compressed web is drawn between driven, oppositely rotated, needle cylinders 5, 6, the needles or wire teeth (card clothing) of which intermesh sufficiently to pierce the web from both sides. Cylinder 5 oscillates along its axis and the cylinder 6 rotates at the same speed as cylinder 5 but is restrained from such oscillation. The fibres are displaced by the action of the needles to form an apertured structure in the web. The moving web is dried by rotating heated cylinders 8, 9, 10, beneath a forced draft ventilating hood 11 and the binder is set thereby.
