Title: Ethylene copolymer compositions suitable for viscosity index improvers and lubricant compositions
Inventor: SCHAUDER JEAN-ROCH
IPC: C10M133/52
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: The present invention provides processes for making a bimodal solid polymer composition suitable for use as a viscosity index improver. Ethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer are polymerized in the presence of a metallocene catalyst to form first and second copolymers, in series or parallel reactors, which are combined to form an intimate blend of relatively high and relatively low ethylene content copolymers in the solvent use. The composition can be further grafted and derivatized to provide a viscosity index improver, the composition being produced directly with the correct viscosity, without the need for additional blending, shearing or masticating steps.

Title: Difference frequency impedance transformation circuits and methods for providingsame in power amplifier systems
Inventor: MUHLBAUER TERESA ANNE
IPC: H03H7/38
Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: Difference frequency impedance transformation circuits for power amplifiers can change the impedance presented to an input of a power amplifier at a frequency that is a function of a difference between the receive and transmit frequency ranges. The difference frequency impedance transformation circuit may, therefore, reduce the noise at the difference frequency which may otherwise be mixed with the transmit frequencies to produce noise in the receive frequency range. In particular, difference frequency impedance transformation circuits can include a first circuit that conducts the first signals to an input of the power amplifier. A second circuit is electrically coupled to the input of the power amplifier and changes the impedance presented to the input of the power amplifier at the difference frequency. Related power amplifier systems, wireless user terminals, and methods are also disclosed.

Title: Spectral drift and correction technique for hyperspectral imaging systems
Inventor: GORIN BRIAN ALLEN
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2001-07-26
Abstract: A method for determining magnitude and direction of spectral channel drift for several consecutive spectral regions over a wide spectral range. According to the method of the present invention, in-field testing of a spectral filter sequentially irradiated by two blackbody sources is performed to generate a response function of the spectral filter. The response function is ensemble averaged to reduce any noise. Background radiance is then removed to produce a smoothed spectral transmittance function of the spectral filter. The first derivative function of the smoothed spectral transmittance function is determined. The first derivative function is separated into spectral band regions having +/- N pixels on either side of the function minima. The value of N is selected to optimize the detection algorithm sensitivity to change while extending the limit of spectral shift magnitude. The sum of the differences between the first derivative function and a reference spectral derivative function is determined. The difference result is applied to a look-up table to determine magnitude and direction of spectral drift for each of the separated spectral band regions. Use of the present invention can provide information on spectral distortion or spectral smile for 2-D focal plane arrays used for hyperspectral imaging.

Abstract: Le support porte-règle décrit comprend un clip central (6) et un support (7) placé de part et d'autre et au-dessous du clip. Les surfaces opposées de ces deux éléments sont espacées de façon à définir un espace libre pour une règle (2) qui peut ainsi coulisser entre eux et être maintenue fermement. Le clip central (6) et le support (7) comportent sur leurs extrémités libres des parties saillantes désaxées, destinées à exercer sur la règle (2) une pression vers le bas à l'arrière du support porte-règle et vers le haut à l'avant, maintenant ainsi la règle (2) fermement dans une position de travail désirée. Le dessus (1) du support porte-règle est plaqué sur la règle (2) par la force exercée par le clip (6) et le support porte-règle s'étend le long de l'axe longitudinal de la règle (2). Le bord arrière (4) du support porte-règle s'étend sur toute la longueur du support et descend sensiblement à angle droit depuis la surface supérieure (1). Le bord arrière (4) sert de butée pour la règle (2) lors du coulissement de celle-ci entre le clip central (6) et le support (7) et sert également à incliner la règle (2) vers le haut selon un angle de 15° environ par rapport à la surface de travail (5). Cette inclinaison place la règle (2) en contact avec la surface de travail (5) par l'arête frontale de la règle, dans l'unique but d'assurer une meilleure adhérence à la surface. Sont également prévus deux supports terminaux (8) au-dessous de la surface supérieure (1), un à chaque extrémité. Les surfaces opposées des supports terminaux et de la surface supérieure sont espacés pour définir un espace libre permettant à la règle (2) de passer entre elles. Les deux supports terminaux (8) soutiennent l'arête arrière de la règle (2) lorsque l'arête frontale est appliquée sur la surface de travail (5). Le bord avant du support porte-règle s'étend sur toute la longueur du support porte-règle et monte sensiblement à angle droit depuis la surface supérieure (1), servant ainsi de protection pour les doigts de l'utilisateur lorsque la règle (2) et le support porte-règle sont utilisés comme support guide-lame à couper droit.

Abstract: COOKING APPARATUS                             ABSTRACT       A cooking  apparatus  is  described  for  cooking  food on sticks  or  skewers.    A  elongated  cooking  channel includes a bottom  section  in which fuel is located, and opposed side walls arranged  to  support  transverse  food  sticks  or skewers.  The elongation  of  the  cooking channel causes an air flow along the length  of the channel.  A smoke channel is located at one end of the  cooking  channel  and discharges upwardly smoke entrained in the  air  flow  along  the  cooking  channel.   The height of the opposed  side  walls  is  sufficient  to  leave at least half the height  of the cooking channel open for the flow of air and smoke and  the  transverse  food  sticks or skewers co-operate with the side walls  to  effectively form a flue for passage of smoke and heated  gases.    The  cooking channel has an inlet end partially closed  by a lower end wall having a height generally equal to or slightly  exceeding  the recommended depth of fuel in the cooking section  but terminating before the top edges of the opposed side walls  whereby  air  is  drawn into the inlet end of the end wall and  between  the  opposed  side  walls.    The  smoke channel is comprised  by  a  continuation  of  the  cooking channel which is turned  upwardly  to  the  horizontal  at between 15° and 45°.  A ledge extends along each of the side walls to support a grill.
