Title: Apparatus and method for fractionating slurry and method of producing plasterboard
Inventor: YAMAJI YUKIO
IPC: B28C5/08
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for fractionating gypsum slurry which can surely control the density of the gypsum slurry fractionated from the mixer (fractionated slurry), which can restrict change of the flow rate of the fractionated slurry, and which can reduce the consumption of foam or foaming agent. The fractionation apparatus (30) fractionates the gypsum slurry from a mixer (4) for mixing calcined gypsum and water. The mixer has a hollow connector section (50), which allows the gypsum slurry to flow from a mixing area inside of the mixer into a chute section (5), and the chute section (5) discharging the inflow of gypsum slurry through its slurry discharge port onto a gypsum board liner paper. The fractionation apparatus has a slurry fractionation port (33) opening to the chute section or the hollow connector section, and causes a part of the gypsum slurry in the chute or hollow connector section to be delivered to a slurry delivery conduit (11,13,19).

Abstract: Fire support of amphibic operations is important in order to meet existing military requirements for the use of military ships in coastal areas. Hitherto, guns used on ships had an amunition calibre of 127 mm (maximum) an d a range of 15-18 kms. The aim of the invention is to integrate the tower (3) and the weaponry (15) of a large-calibre land gun (1), preferably the gun (1 ) of a tank howitzer i.e.155mm, on a ship (2). The gun (1) can be integrated i n the form of a module into an existing deck structure of the ship (1). Shock- absorbing bearing elements (5) are used inbetween the deck (7) and the slewi ng rim (12) of the tower to enable the existing steel structure of the ship (2) to resist increased recoil forces. The large-calibre ship gun can transport different types of ammunition and carrier projectiles over a distance of mor e than 40 kms into the target area. By using land gun technology, e.g. the weaponry (15) of 155 mm tank howitzers, said guns (1) are no longer affected by ship-based disruptions.

Abstract: A device and a method for laterally steering a streamer cable towed underwater behind a seismic survey vessel. The device includes a cable-steering assembly rotatably attached to a streamer cable. The assembly includes a body to which one or more wings are mounted. The wings are arranged to pivot about pivot axes. The assembly is ballasted so that the pivot axes of the wings are largely in a vertical plane. A conventional cable-leveling bird is converted to one version of a cable-steering device by ballasting to maintain the pivot axes of the bird's wings largely vertical. With an orientation sensor for sensing the orientation of tile wings, the cable-steering device adjusts the angle of the wings to provide a sideward component of force to steer the streamer.

Abstract: In a rotational lawn mower it sometimes uses a mulching blade known to have a single cutting edge. The invention provides an improve mulching lawn mower blade, to mulch in a faster time frame. The multi-edge blade includes more than one cutting edge on either ends of the blade, where the forward most edges on either end acts as the regular grass cutter to cut in the same plane as the mower blade horizontal rotation. The second and third edges are created by cutting the flat surface of the blade at two places on either ends, where the two cutting edges thus created are bent up at an angle in separate rotational planes. The cuts made on the flat surface is done at an angle to the perpendicular to produce a sharp leading edge, these two additional edges cuts the grass clippings into smaller pieces.

Abstract: A sliding window based data estimation is performed. An error is introduced in the data estimation to the communication modeling the relationship between the transmitted and received signals. To compensate for an error in the estimated data, the data that was estimated in a previous sliding window step (58) or terms that would otherwise be truncated as noise are used. These techniques (50, 52, 54, 56. 58, 60, 62 and 64) allow for data to be truncated prior to further processing reducing the data of the window.

Title: Device and method for low pressure compresssion and valve for use in the system
Inventor: BEN DROR AMIT
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to compression devices and, more particularly to a method using air flow to close the exhaust valve in each sleeve, allows air to fill the sleeve to a pretuned pressure, and finally deflating the sleeve by letting the air flow through the outlet valve. This creates a pressure gradient and a pneumatic cycle means that facilitates the massaging movement on the limb towards direction of the heart. The magnetic force in valves is uniquely adapted for controlling low-pressure compression.  A magnetically adjustable valve is adapted for use in a compression device to control and regulate low to very low pressures and comprising of a movable magnetic part and a metal part, defining an air gap there between. A self-powered device causes the magnetic part and the metal part to move away from each other and control the air access and pressure in the valve body, while creating a gradient of decreasing pressure, the highest pressure being in the first air chamber to the lowest pressure in the last air chamber.
