Abstract: The invention relates to processes for preparing bead polymers with an average particle size in the range from 1 to 40 µm, in which a polymerizable mix which comprises at least 50% by weight of (meth)acrylates is dispersed in an aqueous phase and polymerized. The dispersion, stabilized using an aluminium compound, is prepared at a shear rate >= 10 3 s -1.     The bead polymers prepared by the process of the invention are particularly suitable for producing mouldings with a matt surface. The bead polymers may moreover be used advantageously in PAMA plastisols, dental compositions, and for production of plastic moulds, in particular for the ceramics industry.

IPC: H04W60/04
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: A switching station etc., are provided. When a mobile station moves from an area of a switching station into an area of another switching station having a VLR which has accepted the maximum number of subscribers, the switching station registers subscriber location information about the mobile station in an HLR even through it cannot register the subscriber service information in its VLR. When a call origination signal is transmitted from the mobile station, the switching station performs call origination connection processing by acquiring the subscriber service information about the mobile station from the HLR. When call termination to the mobile station occurs, the switching station can perform call termination processing normally since the subscriber location information is correctly updated in the HLR. The switching station performs call termination processing by acquiring the subscriber service information from the HLR.

Title: Arc welding electrical shock protection circuit
Inventor: GREEN CHRISTOPHER L
IPC: B23K9/10
Filed: 2002-02-14
Abstract: The invention is an electronic device used to prevent electrical shock to users of arc welding equipment. The device utilizes the electrical power supplied by the welder, it has no internal power supply. The unit is designed with a high amperage SCR, connected between the welder and either the electrode holder or the work-piece. A control circuit is situated in parallel with the SCR and is used to control the SCR. The control circuit constantly monitors the status of the electrode. A high resistance between the electrode and the work-piece causes the unit to revert to an off condition preventing electrical power from reaching the electrode.  Upon striking the electrode against the work-piece, the control circuit detects the internal voltage drop that occurs within the control circuit and then outputs an appropriate signal to cause the unit to switch to an on condition. The predetermined resistance value is set to 40 ohms or less. This level of resistance is required to prevent electrical shock to a wet human body when the electrode and work-piece may be contacted simultaneously. A small ground wire is connected between the unit and the ground of the welder to provide an electrical ground for the control circuit. The welder must be a DC welder, either stationary or mobile, and it can be operated in either reverse polarity or straight polarity position.

Patent CA-2376683-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LODGE FRANCIS
IPC: G01S17/89
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: A fully automated package identification and measuring system (300), in which an onmidirectional holographic scanning tunnel (100) is used to read bar codes on packages entering the tunnel, while a package dimensioning subsystem (500, 600) is used to capture information about the package prior to entry into the tunnel. Mathematical models are created on a real-time basis for the geometry of the package and the position of the laser scanning beam used to read the bar code symbol thereon. The mathematical models are analyzed to determine if collected and queued package identification data is spatially and/or temporally correlated with package measurement data using vector-based ray-tracing methods, homogeneous transformations, and object-oriented decision logic so as to enable simultaneous tracking of multiple packages being transported through the scanning tunnel.

Patent CA-2383903-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HANSEN TORMOD
IPC: F41H11/16
Filed: 2000-08-29
Abstract: An apparatus, especially for clearing landmines, wherein there is arranged on a carrier machine (1) a flail unit (11) connected to an engine to power a flail rotor (12) equipped with chains and weights, which unit (11) comprises two flail arms (13) which at a first end support the flail rotor (12) and at a second end are made in the form of a frame (14), where the arms (13) are pivotally supported at a pivot point (17), so that when the flail rotor (12) is in operation the unit (11) will be maintained in a floating position relative to the surface of the terrain, which apparatus is equipped with a protective shield (15) between the flail rotor (12) and the carrier machine (1). The impacts of the chains and weights against the ground provide an uplift equal to the weight of the flail rotor (12), including the flail arms (13) up to the support point (17), and the protective shield (15) is arranged on the flail unit (11), preferably on the flail frame (14), so that it floats therewith and is thus capable of bending backwards when the unit (11) is raised or lowered as a consequence of, e.g., a detonation. The shield (15) is preferably arranged at an angle so that it inclines slightly forward. It is preferably pivotally supported and held under tension against a suitable force, e.g., by one or more springs (27). An optimal effect is obtained in order to ensure that mines found in an undulating terrain are detonated, whilst as a part of the detonation force is transmitted to the mine clearance apparatus as a downward force so that its position is stabilised. A second embodiment of the apparatus is especially intended to be capable for use also in clearing vegetation such as brush and scrub. In this version, the flail has a special support to allow it to sweep across the desired area with the rotor oriented in an optional angle plane.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser diode (1) and method are described, wherein the path o f the current through the device between the positive (12) and negative (14), conductors is controlled. Lateral spread of the gain current in the active region is prevented by implanting protons in areas of the active layer (10) flanking a desired gain region (24). The implanted regions (26) become less conductive, and prevent lateral spread of the gain current. The position of the implanted regions (26) can be selected so that the gain current only crosses a portion of the active layer (10) that supports desired lateral mod es of the laser light.
