Title: Binder with improved modular backstrip design
Inventor: DEUTSCH ANTON
IPC: B42F13/12
Filed: 1994-10-18
Abstract: Binders with improved modular backstrip design are a comprehensive improvement of the binders described in WO 92/15 461. These binders retain the already established advantages but substantially improve and expand the potential usage. The binders can now be opened both front and back, and the modular backstrip (2) can also be, for example, color selected. These aims are accomplished by designing the modular backstrip (2) as a separate component that is not permanently attached to either side part (1). Furthermore, it is now also possible to get by with just one standard side part, even when the modular backstrip is narrow. This aim is accomplished by arranging the insertion members (5) on the side parts (1) not symmetrically, but laterally offset from one another, with corresponding recesses (3) in the flanks of the modular backstrip opposite them. As a result, the insertion members (5) in a narrow modular backstrip (2) are likewise laterally offset but placed side by side. If more than two insertion pins (10) are used per binder, it is even possible to add or remove suitably punched data carriers at any point in the already existing stack. This aim of the invention is achieved through the reciprocal arrangement at the desired intervals of the insertion pins (10) and their corresponding insertion holes (9) in the side parts (1). The stack above the desired location is lifted off, whereupon the data carriers are secured in the given order by the insertion pins (10) mounted on the upper side part (1) and extending through the stack from above.

Title: Milling cutter with at least one tooth, in particular for milling ophtalmic lens
Inventor: MOREAU JACQUES
IPC: B23C5/16
Filed: 1996-05-08
Abstract: The tool has at least one tooth (20) projecting at a distance from its axis of rotation, and a counter-tooth (30) in front of it to act as a breaker for the chippings produced during milling. The countertooth is in the shape of a flange lying parallel to the front face (22) of the tooth, and has an outer edge of similar height to the tooth or slightly below it. The counter-tooth has an aperture (34) through it and is set at a distance of between 2.5 and 3.5 mm from the milling tooth. The tooth's outer edge is curved in shape, with a semi-circular central section, and the hole in the counter-tooth is circular and has a diameter of 5.5 mm in the flange's rear face.

Title: Hydrolyzed silane emulsions and their use as surface coatings
Inventor: HALLING ROBERT ALLEN
IPC: C07F7/18
Filed: 1995-03-03
Abstract: Novel and highly reactive hydrolyzed silane emulsions are achieved by emulsifying a hydrolyzable  alkoxysilane (e.g., perfluoroalkylethyltris(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)silane,      2-perfluoroalkylethyltris(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)silane, 2-perfluoroalkylethyltris(polyoxyethyleneglycolmonomethylether)silane or the like) in water in the presence of an effective amount of an emulsifier of sufficiently high HLB value (preferably 14 or greater) to simultaneously retain said hydrolyzable alkoxysilane compound in a substantially totally hydrolyzed state and inhibit said resulting hydrolyzed alkoxysilane compound from self-condensation. Such reactive emulsions containing fluorocarbon silanes are useful to produce durable coatings that impart oil and water repellency to substrates having siliceous, cellulosic or proteinaceous surfaces.
Patent CA-2182918-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACDONALD MICHAEL S
IPC: F24F13/24
Filed: 1996-08-08
Abstract: An attenuator (10) for reducing sound in an HVAC system (13) has an inlet mouth (45) and a tube (67) downstream of the inlet mouth (45).  In the improvement, the inlet mouth (45) defines a surface of revolution (45a) formed by rotating a segment of an ellipse about the attenuator long axis (57) and at a fixed distance therefrom.  The new attenuator (10) has an air flow transition chamber (39) which permits air flow to "normalize" after air enters the attenuator (10) at its inlet end (23) but before such air enters the inlet mouth (45).  The attenuator (10) also has a baffle (79) between the entry portion (43) and the outlet end (29) and positioned to occlude the enclosed cavity (75) between the interior tube (67) and the outer housing (37).  The attenuator (10) thereby more effectively attenuates sound in the third octave band.  Optionally, the attenuator (10) (either alone or in combination with a VAV terminal unit (11)) has exterior insulation (85) for preventing moisture condensation and further reducing objectionable sound.

Abstract: A cable tray assembly including a pulling mechanism is described herein. The cable tray assembly includes a tray member defining a predetermined path and mounted in the ceiling of a building to support a plurality of cables extending from a dedicated room to a plurality of workstations. The pulling mechanism includes a pulling rope defining a closed circuit and mounted to the tray member through pulleys for longitudinal movements along said predetermined path. The pulling rope is provided with a cable securing element to which cables to be installed from the dedicated room to the workstations may be attached.          Longitudinal movements of the pulling rope along the predetermined path will therefore displace the cable securing element and the cables attached to it from the dedicated room towards the workstation.

Abstract: To test coiled tubing, at least one test is performed on a coiled tubing that has been used, such as in an oil or gas well.  Performing such test includes obtaining a specific output data event (e.g., a nondestructive evaluation test readout) for the used coiled tubing.   The specific output data event is compared with a predetermined sequence of output data events (e.g., a collection of data defining a "lifeline" for the coiled tubing)  for determining where the sequence and the specific output data event correspond. A coiled tubing status indication is generated in response to where the specific output data event corresponds with the sequence as a measure of a point in the useful life of the used coiled tubing.
