Title: Clamp for a retail display apparatus
Inventor: MIHAILOFF JERROLD
IPC: A47F5/00
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: A clamp for use on a retail or commercial display device is provided wherein a rod is slidingly received in a channel and selectively positionable therein by an position locking member. A hook plate attached to a display element, such as shelving, hanger rods, etc. has hooks for engaging a bolt mounted to the rod. A knob on the bolt is tightened to clamp the hook plate between the rod, or the post, and the inner face of the knob.

Title: Standoff compensation for nuclear measurements
Inventor: MICKAEL MEDHAT W
IPC: G01V5/12
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: A nuclear logging-while-drilling measuring systems, and the correction of the formation property measurements for adverse effects of instrument standoff from the borehole wall, is disclosed. Detector responses for one or more downhole detectors are sampled and recorded over a time segment. The response samples are then sorted by magnitude, and a running integral of the sorted samples as a function of time is performed over the time segment. Linear segments are then fitted to the running integral, wherein each straight line segment is a function of one or more formation properties, and also a function of the standoff distance of the detector from the borehole wall. Segments are then combined to obtain a measure of one or more formation properties of interest, where the adverse effects of borehole standoff are minimized. Standoff magnitude is also obtained. No independent caliper of the borehole is required to perform the standoff correction.

Title: Block interleaving for turbo coding
Inventor: WANG RUI R
IPC: H03M13/27
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: An interleaves receives incoming data frames of size N. The interleaves indexes the elements of the frame with an N1 × N2 index array. The interleaves then effectively rearranges (permutes) the data by permuting the rows of the index array. The interleaves employs the equation I(j,k) = I(j,(.alpha.j k + .beta.j)modP) to permute the columns (indexed by k) of each row (indexed by j.) P is at least equal to N2, .beta.j is a constant which may be different for each row, and each .alpha.j is a relative prime number relative to P. After permuting, the interleaver outputs the data in a different order than received (e.g., receives sequentially row by row, outputs sequentially each column by column).

Abstract: Selon cette invention, un récipient pour boissons (10) comprend un élément de base à enfoncements (16) qui délimite une cavité externe allongée (20). Afin d'obtenir une boîte boissons autochauffante on remplit la cavité avec de la chaux vive et on l'obture avec un couvercle (30) qui contient de l'eau. Si l'on ouvre le couvercle (30) en renversant la boîte boissons, l'eau submerge la chaux vive et provoque une réaction exothermique. Afin que l'on puisse prouver que le couvercle (30) a été actionné afin de provoquer l'autochauffage, la surface interne d'un capuchon (34) a été colorée ou recouverte d'un motif bien visible. Le matériau d'une partie du couvercle (30) est transparent, et l'eau utilisée est de couleur; par exemple, l'eau peut être rouge et la surface du couvercle (34) bleue. A l'état initial, si le récipient est plein et n'a pas été actionné, le couvercle sera de couleur rouge. Après le fonctionnement, pendant lequel l'eau s'écoule en sortant, le couvercle sera bleu. Ainsi, on peut immédiatement voir si le couvercle a été utilisé.

Title: Hybrid thermionic energy converter and method
Inventor: KUCHEROV YAN
IPC: H01L35/30
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: The present invention embodies a solid state thermionic energy converter and is directed to a method and apparatus (10, 104, 108) for conversion of thermal energy to electrical energy, and electrical energy to refrigeration. The present invention maintains a thermal separation between an emitter (12) and a collector (16) through a fractional surface contact (13, 42, 44) of decreasing cross-sectional area towards the point of contact. The fractional surface contacts (13, 42, 44) may be associated with the emitter (12), a barrier (14), or the collector (16). Maintaining a thermal separation between the emitter (12) and the collector (16) provides for ballistic electron transport through the barrier (14) and reduces the transport of electrons through thermal conductivity. Hence, the efficiency is increased through the collection of ballistic electrons and the reduction of thermal conductivity electrons which cannot be collected. The inventive principle works for hole conductivity, as well as for electrons.
