Title: Attachment for a container
IPC: B65D53/02
Filed: 1992-10-01
Abstract: An attachment for a mouthed container, 
particularly one moulded from fibrous pulp material, 
comprises, in a preferred embodiment, an outer element 
(5) for placement externally of the mouth (60) of the 
container, a deformable member (6), e.g. a rubber seal, 
for placement internally of the mouth (60) of the 
container, and a cam-lever device (10, 12, 30) for 
deforming the deformable member (6) into sealing and/or 
gripping relationship with the outer element (5), 
wherein the mouth (60) of the container is sealed and/or 
gripped between the deformed member (6) and the outer 
element (5). In other embodiments the cam lever device 
which acts as the clamping mechanism is replaced by 
various clip arrangements or cooperating screw threads, 
which perform a similar clamping action. The attachment 
preferably includes a pouring spout (20) for dispensing 
a product contained in the container and a cap (50) to

Abstract: A locking device (10) is for locking a first member (12) to a 
second member (14). The first and second members are mounted on 
a pivot pin (16) of the locking device. A lever (26) has two cams 
(25) adjacent the pivot pin (16) between cam followers (22a,22b) 
and which retain each cam (25) in position. The lever (26) is 
movable between a locking position, in which each cam (25) urges 
the second member (14) towards the first member (12) to prevent 
relative rotation therebetween, and a release position (Fig. 2) in 
which the second member (14) is free to rotate about the pivot pin 
(16) relative to the first member (12). Such a locking device (10) is 
particularly suitable for use in releasably holding a bevel block (14) 
against a mounting block (12) of a chop saw or the like.

Abstract: Outline vectors representing an arrangement of 
pixels of a binary image obtained by a binary image 
obtaining unit are extracted by an outline extractor. 
From the extracted outline vector, isolated points are 
extracted. These isolated points are stored in an 
isolated point data generator 7 as information 
indicative of the position of isolated point. The 
outline vectors other than the isolated points are 
stored in the vector generator 3 as vector data. When a 
binary image is reproduced, the stored position 
information of the isolated points is developed to 
vector data by the isolated point data developer 8. 
Accordingly, since the isolated points are stored not in 
the form of outline vectors, but position information, 
the storage capacity for storing the outline vectors can 
be small. This construction is effective in halftone 
image in particular.

Title: Method of reclaiming used foundry sand.
Inventor: DAMM NORBERT ING
IPC: B22C5/00
Filed: 1994-05-26
Abstract: Used foundry sand is fed in batches to a rubbing apparatus which detaches the binder shell from the sand grain, is removed from the rubbing apparatus (19) by means of a conveying device into an intermediate container with a dust-removal device and is recirculated several times between the latter and the rubbing apparatus by means of a conveying device. To optimise process management, the rubbing (R), dust removal (E) and recirculation (U) steps of the process are combined to form a control module M and a plurality of control modules M1 to Mn are formed, these differing in the percentage of the nominal output of the individual stages (R), (E) and (U) of the process. The control modules M1 to Mn are stored in a control unit and the rubbing apparatus, the conveying device and the dust-removal device are driven by the control unit with a sequence of control modules selected in accordance with the quality of the used sand.

Abstract: This invention describes a process for
improvements in security for personal identification
documents, particularly for machine-readable
passports. An image of a personal identifier of a
holder of the document is stored as a highly-compressed
digital image in a magnetic medium
dispersed invisibly within the material of a visible
print forming part of the document or within the body
of the document itself. The document is then scanned
magnetically at the place where identification is
required and the stored image decompressed and
displayed. This provides confirmation that the holder
of the document is the person shown on the visible
image, that the document has not been tampered with,
and by checking the image code against a database,
that the document was originated by the proper
authority.

IPC: C08F4/642
Filed: 1993-06-22
Abstract: This invention is for a method for varying the melting points
and molecular weights of syndiotactic polyolefins by using
metallocene catalysts with substituents on the aryl rings of a
fluorene ligand in certain positions. Electron donating
substituents, for example, dialkylamino, halogen, and alkoxy
groups, when present on fluorene at C1, C2, C3 or C2 and C7 render
the catalyst less active and decrease the polymer molecular weight.
Electron donating substituents, such as alkyl, dialkylamino,
halogen or alkoxy, at C4 not only increased the catalyst efficiency
but also dramatically increased the polymer molecular weight.
Bulky hydrocarbyl substituents, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl
groups, at C2 and C7 increase the melting point. Bulky
substituents such as hydrocarbyl groups like alkyl, cycloalkyl,
aryl, alkoxy and dialkylamino groups etc., at C4/C5 decrease the
melting point. When multiple substituents are present on fluorene,
their effects are additive.

the melt when the growth plane, which can be exposed by stripping
