Title: Magnetorheological polymer gels
Inventor: FUCHS ALAN
IPC: H01F1/44
Filed: 2001-02-20
Abstract: Magnetorheological materials are provided comprising magnetic particles, a polymeric gel and a carrier material.  The polymerization of the gel is preferentially accomplished in the presence of the magnetic particles and the carrier material.  Mag-netorheological materials are provided having a selected off-state viscosity and a selected on-state apparent viscosity. The method of preparing these magnetorheological materials is also provided. The carrier material, the polymeric gel and the magnetic particles are selected so that the resulting magnetorheological material has the desired off-state viscosity and on-state apparent viscosity. These materials have good dispersion characteristics, reduced settling, superior off-state viscosity and superior apparent viscosity in the presence of a magnetic field.

Title: Disc recording medium, disc drive apparatus, and reproduction method
Inventor: SENSHU SUSUMU
IPC: G11B7/007
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: First data representing user data and third data use the same error correction codes. The first data has a first error correction block structure and the third data has a second error correction block structure. That is to say, the first data and the third data have their respective error correction block structures proper for them. In particular, the recording density of the third data is made less dense than the recording density of the first data, and the number of correction codes in the first error-correction block is set at a multiple of m whereas the number of correction codes in the second error-correction block is set at n/m times the number of correction codes in the first error-correction block so that a data-piece count in the second error-correction block is also n/m times a data-piece count in the first error-correction block. As a result, it is possible to provide a good technique of recording shipping-time information onto a high-recording-density disc.

Abstract: A complete seamless honeycomb structure, comprising a coresheet (103) of cell between two facesheets (H1, H2), either in the form of a flat or curved panel. This structure is extruded in a direction perpendicular to the direction of axes of the cells from all combinations of extrudable and mutually fusible materials (142, 143) and completed in one technological sequence without welding, chemical bonding, gluing and the like assembly operations. The method of manufacturing is characterized by continuously extruding a coresheet (103) which is continually deformed in the direction perpendicular to the extrusion into a coresheet (103). Then, simultaneously and continuously extruding facesheets (H1, H2) and joining them to the coresheet (103), by fusion bonding, while adjoining materials in the zones of connection are still in their mutually fusible state thereby forming a seamless honeycomb structure.

IPC: C09K8/565
Filed: 2001-04-23
Abstract: Herein is described a fluid that is useful in consolidating a formation without the use of a gravel pack and screen. In particular, the fluid is useful in consolidating heterogeneous formations where the permeability is not uniform over the total formation thickness, e.g. a formation having at least a first layer and a second layer, wherein the permeability of the first layer is greater than that of the second layer. The fluid comprises at least one of a resin, a curing agent, and a surfactant, wherein the fluid is self-diverting.  Optionally, a catalyst or other additives, such as an oil wetting agent, can be used. Fluids of the present invention are self-diverting, i.e. in a formation comprising at least a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer has a higher permeability than the second layer, the depth of penetration of the fluid into the second layer will be greater than that predicted from the permeability ratio (the ratio of the permeability of the first layer to that of the second layer). Self-diversion can be achieved by structuring the fluid by incorporation of another phase, either liquid or gas, or by using an additive in the fluid. Also disclosed are methods for using such a fluid to consolidate a formation, especially a heterogeneous formation.

Patent CA-2411765-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MUFFOLETTO BARRY
IPC: H01G9/022
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a water based electrolyte used in a hybrid-type capacitor. The hybrid-type capacitor has an electrolytic anode and an electrochemical cathode. The difference resides in the electrolyte for this type of capacitor. The electrolyte has water, a water soluble inorganic and/or organic acid and/or salt, and a water soluble nitro-aromatic compound. Such a hybrid capacitor (1) improves energy density by significantly reducing volume of the separator and cathod material often used in conventional electrolytic capacitors and (2) has an electrochemical cathode that undergoes an electrochemical reduction without generating gassing. For example, ruthenium oxide, RuO2, is reduced to ruthenium hydroxide, Ru(OH)2, when passing a cathodic current. However, the present invention discovered that without the present electrolyte, the RuO2 cathode does generate gassing if it is sufficiently depleted. The gassing degrades capacitor performance and even casuse failure, which is decreased with the present electrolyte solution.

Inventor: BRAMONO DEWI
IPC: F23C5/02
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for combusting a fuel and air mixture within a combustion chamber, particularly a combustion chamber of a gaseous fuel fired water heater. A pressure relief void is intentionally formed so that a combustion chamber forms communication with a surrounding environment through means other than the exhaust flue and/or a fuel and/or air inlet. During ignition, the pressure relief void allows pre-combustion fluid within the combustion chamber to escape through both the pressure relief void and the exhaust flue. The pressure relief void reduces or eliminates undesirable noise associated with start-up and operation of conventional water heater combustion chambers with premixed burner systems. The pressure relief void of this invention is preferably sized large enough to relieve an ignition pressure pulse from the combustion chamber upon ignition and yet is sized small enough to prevent a combustion flame from passing through the pressure relief void during ignition and/or operational combustion. The water heater may include two burner assemblies, each which can be easily attached or detached, for quick installation and easy maintenance.
