Title: Injection molded shaped charge liner
Inventor: HETZ AVIGDOR
IPC: F42B1/032
Filed: 2006-08-22
Abstract: A shaped charge liner formed by injection molding, where the liner components include powdered metal and organic binder. The liner components are blended then processed within an injection molding device and urged from the molding device into a mold where a liner shape is formed. The liner shape is debinded, both mechanically and chemically. Mechanical debinding involves heating and chemical debinding comprises treating the liner shape with a solution to dissolve and remove the binder components. The process of forming the shaped charge liner does not include sintering. The present process can also use "green products" formed by the injection molding device that are not debinded. A shaped charge case can also be formed using the present method. The added step of sintering can be applied to the process of forming the shaped charge case.

Title: Multicarrier modulation system with cyclic delay diversity
Inventor: MANTRAVADI ASHOK
IPC: H04W88/10
Filed: 2005-06-03
Abstract: Techniques to transmit data with cyclic delay diversity and pilot staggering are described. For cyclic delay diversity, OFDM symbols having different cyclic delay durations are generated. The cyclic delay durations for the OFDM  symbols may be selected to be time varying with respect to the cyclic delay durations for OFDM symbols transmitted by a neighboring base station. An FDM  pilot is generated and multiplexed on multiple sets of subbands in different symbol periods. Waveforms for a second radio technology (e.g., W-CDMA) may be generated for data to be transmitted with this radio technology. The OFDM  symbols are multiplexed onto time slots used for OFDM, and the waveforms for the second radio technology are multiplexed onto time slots used for this radio technology. One or multiple modulated signals may be generated based on the multiplexed OFDM symbols and waveforms. Each modulated signal is transmitted from a respective antenna.

Title: Apparatus and method for fabricating cathode collectors for lithium/oxyhalide electrochemical cells
Inventor: WOODNORTH DOUGLAS
IPC: H01M4/485

Patent CA-2574244-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UTTLEY DENNIS
IPC: E21B43/18
Filed: 2007-01-09
Abstract: The method of the present invention employs a subsurface production pump to displace hydrocarbon fluid, including any and all accompanying ground water and/or earthen contaminants, from the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir depth of an oil well to surface storage and handling facilities via the subsurface production tubing, wellhead and surface flow line. As the subsurface production pump operates, compressed gas, or a mixture of compressed gases of sufficient volume and force is fed into the lower end of the subsurface production tubing in proximity to, or at a point above the subsurface production pump to mix into the hydrocarbon production fluid column.  The resultant and considerably reduced density of the subsurface hydrocarbon production fluid column provides a reduction of subsurface production pump loading with all types of subsurface production pumps, and an improvement of sucker rod fall time when sucker rod activated subsurface plunger pumps are employed. Due to the additional cubic volume of the injected compressed gas, the increased hydrocarbon production fluid and gas velocity within the subsurface production tubing and the surface flow line improves hydrocarbon fluid shear from the conduit walls and sucker rod surfaces, and prevents earthen contaminants such as sand, clay, shale, coal or other rock fragments, from precipitating, accumulating and blocking the flow of hydrocarbon production fluid within the subsurface production tubing and the surface flow line.

Title: Technology agnostic qos support in a multi-mode environment
Inventor: VEEREPALLI SIVARAMAKRISHNA
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2005-08-08
Abstract: A generic quality of service (QoS) model that is not dependent on network technology is used to support QoS for communication networks utilizing different network technologies. The generic QoS model may include a superset of all QoS parameters for all network technologies being supported, e.g., 3GPP  and 3GPP2. An application at a device may specify QoS for a traffic flow based on the generic QoS parameters in the superset. The generic QoS parameters may be converted to QoS parameters that are specific to a serving network. The converted QoS parameters are exchanged with the serving network and are used while exchanging traffic with the serving network.

Title: Films or structural exterior materials using coating composition having self-cleaning property and preparation method thereof
Inventor: KIM JUNG-HOON
IPC: C09D7/12
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: Disclosed is a coating composition comprising: (a) hydroxy group-containing inorganic particles having an average particle diameter of between 5 and 30 nm; (b) hydroxy group- containing inorganic particles having an average particle diameter of between 0.2 and 5 D; (c) an organosilane compound represented by the formula of R n Si(OR') 4-n (wherein R is a C1-C8 aminoalkyl group, glycidoxyalkyl group or isocyanatoalkyl group; R'is a C1-C6 lower alkyl group; and n is an integer of between 0 and 3); and (d) a solvent. A method for preparing the above coating composition, a substrate such as film or structural exterior material, having excellent self-cleaning property and staining resistance by using the above coating composition and methods for producing the same are also disclosed. The coating composition using hydroxy group-containing inorganic particles can improve the initial hydrophilicity of conventional coating agents. Additionally, the coating composition can form a hydrophilic coating layer having a contact angle with water of 30~or less by using two kinds of inorganic particles having a different particles diameter.  Particularly, the coating composition uses an organic solvent having erosive property to a substrate to be coated and a low boiling point, and thus can be applied to a conventional production line for structural exterior materials without adding a separate coating line. Therefore, the coating composition can provide structural materials having hydrophilicity, excellent self-cleaning property and long service life, when coated on substrates such as vinyl sidings.
