Title: Child-proof package for pharmaceutical products
Inventor: FILION DANIEL
IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 2002-03-04
Abstract: A form of child-proof package for tablets and similar pharmaceutical products, features a blister pack with at least one blister which is closed off by a push-through type foil lid, the blister serving the purpose of accommodating the tablets. For the purpose of removing the tablets, the push-through type foil lid of the blister pack lies against a wall part and with respect to that can be displaced by sliding from a closed position to an open position so that, when in the open position, the blister with the tablets lie in line with openings in the wall part and the tablets can be pushed through the openings. The blister pack is arranged between a rear wall part and a front part, and the wall part with the openings lies between the rear wall part and the foil lid. The blisters can be displaced by sliding from the closed position to the open position into opening slits and the openings in the inner wall part are covered over by a tear-off strip which is arranged in the rear wall part and can be separated from it along a line of weakness forming a longitudinal slit.

Title: Technique for split knowledge backup and recovery of a cryptographic key
Inventor: FREY LORENZ R
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: In a secure cryptographic environment, a private key in a private/public key cryptographic scheme needs to be backed up and recovered in case of a loss or corruption of the private key. To back up the private key, multiple key segments are generated based on the private key which are distributed to a corresponding number of trusted individuals, each of whom has knowledge of only his or her key segment. The key can be restored (629) only when all of the trusted individuals provide the respective key segments, based on which the original private key is reconstructed (629). In addition, each trusted individual is uniquely identifiable by a personal identification number. Advantageously, the private key, which is secret, can be backed up and restored (629) without any individual having knowledge of the full key.

Title: Zoned aircraft de-icing system and method
Inventor: DUDMAN RICHARD L
IPC: H05B3/00
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: An electrothermal zoned de-icing system for an aircraft employs a heat-conducting tape bonded to the leading edge of an aircraft structure subject to an impinging airstream during flight.      The heat-conducting tape has a spanwise parting strip area, and first and second ice accumulation and shedding zones (132, 134). The tape comprises a non-metallic electrical and heat-conducting layer consisting of flexible expanded graphite foil laminated to an outer heat-conducting layer, in which the thickness of the flexible expanded graphite foil layer in the parting strip area is always greater than the thickness of the foil layer in either of the ice accumulation and shedding zones. Therefor, the parting strip area has a decreased electrical resistance, a greater flow of current, and becomes hotter than the zones in which the foil layer is thinner. Because the flexible expanded graphite foil is a monolithic structure that may be shaped, sculptured or layered to form different thicknesses in different areas, only a single control mechanism for a single set of electric terminals is necessary to produce temperature differentials in the parting strip and ice accumulation and shedding zones for a cycled zoned de-icing system.

IPC: B02C19/00
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A method of producing an aqueous solution of water-soluble polyacrylamide (PAM) with a concentration of at least about 5 grams per liter includes the steps of providing a monovalent or divalent cation salt solution, and preferably a calcium salt solution, and adding water-soluble PAM particles to the salt solution such that the PAM particles are essentially all dissolved within about 10 seconds. The PAM particles are characterized by a particle size that is about -100 mesh and consisting essentially of molecules having a molecular weight of at least about 15 million a.u. Preferably, the small PAM  particles are produced by a mill that produces bulk quantities of small dry, flowable PAM particles from lager commercial grade particles. Small PAM  particles produced in such a mill are essentially all soluble in plain water within about 10 seconds. After solution, the polymer concentrate can be diluted with water to make stock solutions of the polymer for some purposes.  For other purposes the concentrate can be injected directly into irrigation systems. Effectiveness of the water-soluble polyacrylamide as a soil conditioner is considerably increased by co-use with a calcium salt, gypsum, fertilizer salts, or a combination of these salts, in addition to the increased ease of making solutions.

Title: On-line sensor for colloidal substances
Inventor: GARVER THEODORE M
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 2002-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining and controlling a property of colloidal substances that undergo at least one of a temperature dependent phase transition and a temperature dependent adsorption-desorption process is disclosed. The colloidal particles are characterized by performing successive measurements of light attenuation or emission by a colloidal mixture at two or more temperatures and at one or more wavelength. The difference or ratio of the measurements at two or more temperatures provides a measure of the colloidal stability with respect to temperature. The amount of certain organic colloids that are unstable to temperature variation may be determined from the magnitude of the measurement change. This method may be specifically applied to determining the tackiness and propensity to deposit of colloidal pitch or wood resin in pulp or paper process water as an indication of the effectiveness of a chemical control program. In this context a feedback signal may be provided for use by a process controller to achieve improved process control.
