Title: Air aspirator-mixer
Inventor: KORZENIOWSKI JAN A
IPC: B01F25/70
Filed: 2001-12-11
Abstract: A venturi device is provided for aeration of wastewaters containing suspended solids. It has a non-obstructive design which prevents attachment or accumulation of suspended solids, and promotes even air distribution for efficient aspiration of air and mixing of air and wastewater. The device has provisions for adjustment of the venturi throat size, for protection of the throat from wearing out, for enhancing air and wastewater mixing capabilities, and for flushing of the solids accumulated in the air entrance. In particular, the device has a venturi having a constricting inlet portion for receiving a carrier fluid, an expanding outlet portion and a throat therebetween. A plurality of apertures circumferentially spaced about the expanding outlet portion immediately downstream of the throat introduce an aspirated medium into the venturi. A spiral mixer may be provided upstream and/or downstream of the venturi, and ports provide instrument or flushing connections. A conical liner may be provided in the inlet portion.

Title: Optical fiber, dispersion compensator using the same, and optical transmission system
Inventor: YAGI TAKESHI
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2001-12-21
Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fiber having a compensation function of the dispersion characteristic of an optical transmission line in S-band, and preferably has a filter function for cutting off wavelengths exceeding S-band.      The optical fiber of the present invention has three-layered glass layers having different compositions between neighboring layers. When the maximum relative refractive index difference of a first glass layer (1) formed at the innermost of the optical fiber to a third glass layer (3) (standard layer) is represented by .DELTA.1, and the minimum relative refractive index difference of a second glass layer (2) as a second layer from the innermost of the optical fiber to the standard layer is by.DELTA.2, the following inequalities are satisfied: :  1.0%<=.DELTA.1<=3.0%, and -1.0%<=.DELTA.2<=-0.4%. The dispersion value at the set wavelength of the S-band is set to-8ps/nm/km For example, the value achieved by dividing the dispersion by the dispersion slope is equal to a positive value less than 300, and the transmission loss at the wavelength of 1520nm is set to be larger than the transmission loss at the wavelength of 1500nm by 1dB or more.

Title: Water borne film-forming compositions
Inventor: JIRATUMNUKUL NANTANA
IPC: C09D7/47
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a film-forming composition comprising a particulate polymer or emulsified liquid pre-polymer, water and a coalescent aid comprising an ester having the formula RCOOX wherein R  and X are independent lyhydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl, and at least one of R and X contain at least two unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. The coalescent aid helps lower the minimum film formation temperature of low glass transition temperature coatings and high glass transition temperature coatings and allows optimum film formation at ambient temperatures. The coalescent aid of this coating composition is not volatile like conventional coalescent aids but rather remains part of the film and air oxidizes to cure the film.  This coating composition also exhibits properties of adhesion and gloss superior to that of coating compositions containing conventional coalescent aids. Additionally, this coalescent aid can be made from natural or synthetic oils.

Title: Implant syringe
Inventor: KNEER ROLAND
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: An implant syringe comprises a guide sleeve which has seated therein a syringe needle arrangement composed of a syringe needle, a needle holder, a grip member and a preparation receiving member. Said syringe needle arrangement is blocked in an initial state by two spring arms that are cut out from the guide sleeve and obliquely project inwards such that they rest on a rear wall of the syringe needle arrangement. When the plunger of the implant syringe is pushed forwards to advance the preparation up to the head end of the syringe, a sleeve which is connected to the plunger abuts on the spring arms and bends them outwards, whereby the syringe needle arrangement can be retracted. The two operations are carried out without changing the position of the hand, thereby simplifying the handling of the implant syringe.
