Title: Method for multiple utilisation of a copper wire,which is used in a first utilisation as wire electrode for electrical resistance seam welding
IPC: B23K11/30
Filed: 1985-04-24
Abstract: The copper wires employed for electrical resistance seam welding of tinned sheet metal with the help of wire electrodes until now had to be taken back to the smelter as old metal after a few applications. The additional operating costs associated with this were until now unavoidable for long seam resistance welding of tinned sheet metal since multiple uses or applications of the copper wire for resistance seam welding have proven to be impossible in spite of years of research. The problem of these additional operating costs can be solved such that new copper wires with a reduced diameter can be directly drawn from the copper wire employed as wire electrodes for resistance seam welding after their use in welding. These wires then, for example, can be used as signal conductors or as windings. The properties of these wires are totally in accord with copper wires that are directly drawn from new copper. By this process, the additional operating costs mentioned above are substantially reduced and in many cases are even totally eliminated.

Title: Conversational bearer negotiation
Inventor: SOUTULA JANNE
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2003-02-15
Granted: 2005-05-25
Abstract: A method of setting up a session between peer user terminals of a communication system, wherein at least one of the user terminals is a dual-mode terminal having access to both an IP-based packet-switched access network and a circuit-switched access network, and the session extends at least in part across the circuit-switched access network. One of the user terminals initiates the session by sending Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling to a SIP server over the IP-based network. The SIP server sends a notification to a gateway server to establish one or more conversational bearers. The gateway server then sends a callback telephone number to the dual-mode terminal. The dual-mode terminal then calls the callback number to establish a circuit-switched session with the gateway server.

Title: Semiconductor light-emitting device and video display adopting it
Inventor: YAMASAKI FUTOSHI
IPC: G03B21/14
Filed: 2005-03-30
Granted: 2006-08-16
Abstract: An LED technology is adapted to a video display in order to ensure high image quality. A semiconductor light-emitting device having a flip-chip structure is adopted as a light source. Polarized light of white light or of each of red, green, and blue light waves, of which one polarized light component is converted to become consistent with the other component, is radiated from the light source. In the semiconductor light-emitting device, a light transmissive substrate or a quarter-wave phase difference plate that turns the direction of polarization, and a reflective sheet polarizer that reflects one of P-polarized light and S-polarized light and transmits the other polarized light are disposed on the light-emitting side of an LED chip light emitter formed on a reflecting electrode. The direction of polarization of polarized light reflected from the reflective sheet polarizer or reflecting electrode is turned by the substrate or quarter-wave phase difference plate so that it will be aligned with the direction of polarization of the other polarized light. The resultant polarized light is transmitted by the reflective sheet polarizer and then radiated from the semiconductor light-emitting device.

Title: Flow box
Inventor: EYNON DAVID LESLIE
IPC: D21F1/02
Filed: 1982-07-02
Granted: 1984-09-19
Abstract: The flow box comprises an explosion chamber, having a base wall, top wall and two side walls. An outlet at the bottom of one side wall communicates with a slice chamber extending parallel to the base wall, and the number of inlet pipes connect the explosion chamber to a distribution chamber. The inlet pipes communicate with two rows of openings in the top wall of the explosion chamber and have an axial direction directed towards the base wall. A fist deflector has an upper surface which extends across the axial direction of the pipes of a first row of openings to form a divergent passage with the top wall. A second deflector extends from the other side wall across the axial direction of the pipes of the second row of openings. The second deflector has an upper surface forming a convergent flow passage with at least a part of the lower surface of the first deflector. - The flow box or head box is used to supply paper stock to a forming wire during the papermaking process. It provides a more uniform distribution of the stock across the width of the wire giving reduced variation of basis weight of the final web in the cross-direction.

Granted: 1985-12-18
Abstract: A flotation cell for removal of solid particles contained in a liquid has, upstream of its inlet, a mixing chamber providing a passage through which the liquid passes to the cell inlet and in which the liquid is charged with air or other gas to form bubbles therein. This chamber is provided with at least one pair of opposed, converging walls extending across the passage to form opposite faces of a liquid flow path to a restricted gap between these walls at their greatest convergence, and so arranged that substantially all the liquid flowing through the chamber is forced to pass through such a flow path. Gas injection means provides a flow of gas under super-atmospheric pressure into the liquid flowing between these walls in the vicinity of the restricted gap between them to form bubbles in the liquid distributed across the path of flow.

Title: Process and apparatus for suction extraction particularly for use in the production of aluminium
Inventor: DUPRAT GEORGES
IPC: C25C3/06
Filed: 1985-05-01
Granted: 1987-07-29
Abstract: A process for automatically going into the mode for increased suction extraction of the gases emitted by the tanks of series for the production of aluminium by igneous electrolysis using the Hall-Heroult process, each tank being closed around its periphery by a plurality of removable covers which are disposed in substantially sealed relationship with each other and between each thereof and their support means on the periphery of the tank, the gases being collected over each tank by at least one duct connected to a centralized suction extraction system. The temperature of the gases in the duct is continuously measured. Opening of at least one cover gives rise to an abrupt drop in temperature, which makes it possible to put the system into the increased suction extraction mode, which will be automatically stopped when, all the covers being closed again, the temperature of the gases will substantially resume its initial value. The power required for the suction system is thus substantially reduced.
