Title: Method and apparatus for making grids from fibers.
Inventor: HUNT JOHN FRANK
IPC: B27N3/08
Filed: 1992-06-05
Abstract: Method and apparatus to form grids of open cells from fibers, especially wood fibers and fibers from waste paper and mixed waste materials. The invention utilizes a screen carrying a plurality of elastomeric pads of predetermined sizes arranged thereon in predetermined spaced relation to each other. The fiber is deposited between the pads but not above the pads. The deposited fibers and the pads are compressed normal to the screen, which causes the fiber in the spaces between the pads to be consolidated both normal and parallel to the screen, resulting in a open grid having cells of the shape of the pads. Numerous variations are provided including several continuous production embodiments. The invention uses state of the art technology for virtually all aspects.

Title: Method and apparatus for modifying relocatable object code files and monitoring programs
Inventor: HASTINGS REED
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1992-06-05
Abstract: An object code expansion program inserts new instructions and data between preexisting instructions and date of an object code file; offsets are modified to reflect new positions of the preexisting instructions and data. For each item of preexisting object code (instructions or data), the following steps are performed: making a new code block comprising any desired new instructions and the item, and storing it as new object code; tracking the location of the item and the new code block within the new object code; and tracking items that contain inter-item offsets. Then, each inter-item offset is updated using the new location of the item or new code block, as required. Finally, offsets in symbol tables and relocation structures are updated with the new location of the item.

Title: Thermal transfer ink composition, thermal transfer ink ribbon, sheet for thermal transfer, and thermal transfer method.
Inventor: ITO KENGO SONY CORPORATION
IPC: B41M5/392
Filed: 1993-12-14
Abstract: A thermal transfer ink composition using a basic dye (cationic dye). The composition contains a basic dye and an organic polymer, and the basic dye is dispersed or dissolved in the organic polymer with a solubilizer having compatibility with both the dye and the polymer. The solubilizer is an amphipathic compound, and preferably has an HLB value of at least 7. When an ink layer containing this composition is formed on a support member, a thermal transfer ink ribbon is obtained. A sheet for thermal transfer used has an acceptor layer containing an interlayer compound substituted by an ion exchangeable with the basic dye and a binder resin. The ion exchangeable with the basic dye may consist of an organic ion, such as an organic onium ion. The ink layer of the thermal transfer ink ribbon and the acceptor layer of the sheet for thermal transfer are laminated face-to-face, and this laminate is heated to transfer the basic dye contained in the ink layer to the acceptor layer.

Title: Natural gas vehicle fuel vapor delivery system.
Inventor: MCINTOSH GLEN ELVIS
IPC: F17C9/02
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: A natural gas vehicle fuel delivery system regulates the pressure of LNG which is vaporized and delivered to an engine. The system employs dual regulator valves (34/31 and 32/33) responsive to the gas phase pressure of the storage tank (10A/10B) to either directly couple vapor produced from a heat exchanger (61/63) to an engine combustion system, or to divert that vapor through another heat exchanger (62A/62B) contained within the tank (10A/10B) itself. This additional heat exchanger (62A/62B) maintains the pressure within the tank (10A/10B) at the desired level despite heavy fuel demands of the engine. The system functions independent of liquid level in the storage tank (10A/10B). When multiple LNG storage tanks (10A, 10B) are used, they are coupled in parallel so that they both produce gas and are concurrently regulated in the gas phase portion. A pressure initializing structure and process are also provided.
Patent EP-0698307-A4 (EP)
Title: Diode pumped slab laser
Inventor: RICHARDS JAMES
IPC: H01S3/06
Filed: 1994-04-21
Abstract: This invention relates to a diode pumped slab laser in the form of a slab (1) where two opposite faces (2, 3) are adapted to receive pumping radiation with the faces being cut at the Brewsters angle at one end (6, 7) to provide entrance/exit faces for the lasing radiation. The laser radiation beam follows a zig-zag path in the slab (1) and is contained within the slab by total internal reflection. The laser slab (1) is contained within an optical cavity which results in the laser beam completing a double zig-zag beam path. The design results in good pump/mode matching, mitigates thermally induced birefringence problems, overcomes amplified spontaneous emission problems, requires no coatings or curved surfaces, and is easy and relatively inexpensive to make. The slab (1) can be used within both Quasi-CW and CW modes.

Patent EP-0839419-A4 (EP)
Inventor: HAUSER STEPHEN A
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1996-07-18
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système de gestion de ressources telles que des tampons et des largeurs de bandes qui sont attribués à des entités concurrentes (100, 102, 104) réparties sur deux niveaux ou plus (niveau 0...niveau N) dans un réseau de télécommunications. Le système offre un outil d'affectation de ressources destinées à être utilisées par des entités individuelles dont chacune peut se voir attribuer une variable de garantie de minimum (302) et une variable de garantie de maximum (306). Lorsqu'une entité (304) demande des ressources, le système détermine dans quelle mesure elle utilise son affectation minimale de garantie de ressources définie par la variable de garantie de minimum (302); si ce n'est pas le cas, le système lui (304) attribue une unité de ressource. Le système peut également permettre à une entité demanderesse d'utiliser des unités de ressources additionnelles dépassant l'affectation de ressources spécifiée par sa variable de garantie de minimum, à condition que des unités de ressources soient disponibles. Si l'entité demanderesse a atteint son affectation minimale de garantie de ressources, mais n'a pas atteint son maximum d'affectation de ressources spécifié par la variable de garantie de maximum (306), et qu'aucun niveau intermédiaire n'a utilisé son affectation de ressources maximale autorisée (312), une unité de ressource lui est attribuée.

Abstract: To provide a closing block of the frame wherein the lens can be tightly fixed to the rim without rattling and the installing/removing of the lens can be easily operated even if the process precision of the outer shape of the lens is worse. The locking part 10 provided to the lower end portion 3c of the rim 3 is loosely inserted to the loose insert groove 9f of the locking part 9 that is fixed to the upper end portion 3b of the rim 3, and the locking part 10 is urged toward the upper end portion 3b of the rim 3 by the elastic part 11 that is provided between the bottom wall plate 9d of the locking part 9 and the locking part 10. By the urging force the lens 2 to be inserted to the rim 3 is certainly fixed to the rim 3. Moreover, because the inner shape of the rim 3 is expanded by pulling out the cut 3a of the rim 3 and is shrunk via the elastic part 11 by releasing the cut 3a, the lens 2 can be exchanged without using an exclusive screwdriver. Therefore, the closing block of the frame wherein the lens can be certainly fixed to the rim and the installing/removing of the lens can be easy is obtained. <IMAGE>
