Title: Tamper resistant fastener
Inventor: YOUNG LINDA
IPC: F16B23/00
Filed: 2000-07-21
Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: A tamper resistant fastener, which can only be rotated with a specific key, is described. The fastener includes a head for rotation about a vertical axis. The head is provided with the least two cutouts (24) in the head of the fastener spaced away from the vertical axis, the cutouts having a discontinuous sidewall (25). The side wall of each of the cutouts has a first generally vertical engaging surface (23) for engagement by a mating member on a specific key (30) for clockwise rotation of the head about the vertical axis and a second generally vertical engaging surface (29) for engagement by the mating member on the specific key for counter clockwise rotation of the head about vertical axis. The side wall of the cutout is interrupted adjacent the second engaging surface to prevent engagement by a tool other than the specific key and thereby prevent rotation of the fastener in a counter clockwise direction by a tool other than the specific key.

Title: Titanium dioxide pigments, method for production thereof and resin composition comprising the same
Inventor: AKAMATU TOSHIHIKO
IPC: C08K9/02
Filed: 2000-09-07
Granted: 2008-10-28
Abstract: The titanium dioxide pigment of the present invention comprises titanium dioxide particles, the coating layer containing the aluminum phosphate compound and the coating layer containing the hydrolyzate of the organosilane compound, on the surface of the particles, in which a difference in water content between 100°C and 300°C, determined by the Karl Fischer method, is not greater than 1500 ppm, and is thus excellent in light fastness, hydrophobicity and dispersibility. In particular, the titanium dioxide pigment of the invention is extremely advantageous as a colorant for plastics, which requires light fastness (resistance to discoloration) lacing resistance and dispersibility, to a high degree.

Granted: 2011-06-28
Abstract: A system and method for image compression utilizing adaptively sized blocks and sub-blocks of discrete cosine transform coefficient data is presented. A block size assignment element in the encoder selects the block or sub-block of an input block of pixels to be processed. The selection is based on the variance of pixel values. Blocks with variances larger than a threshold are subdivided, while blocks with variances smaller than a threshold are not subdivided. A transform element transforms the pixel values of the selected blocks into the frequency domain. The frequency domain values may then be quantized, serialized, and variable length coded in preparation for transmission.

Granted: 2010-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a lift installation (20) comprising a lift cage (21), a lift shaft (22) and a drive unit (25), the lift cage (21) being moveably installed in the lift shaft (22) and controlled by the drive unit (25) in such a way that it (21) can stop at various positions in the lift shaft (22). Said lift shaft (22) is provided with a detection device (29) for detecting whether a person is in a critical area (32, 33) of the lift shaft (22) or whether the person is about to arrive into one such area. The detection device (29) is connected to the drive unit (25) in such a way that the lift installation (20) can be switched into a special operating mode if a person is in the critical area (32, 33) or about to arrive into the same. The drive unit (25) comprises a special control device (30) which, when the lift installation is in the special operating mode, stops the lift cage (21) before it arrives in the critical area (32, 33). To this end, the detection device (29) and the special control device (30) are designed in an operationally-safe manner in order to prevent the lift cage (2l) from entering the critical area (32, 33). When the lift installation is in the special operating mode, the special control device (30) enables the lift cage (21) to be operated in an undisturbed manner in an area outside the critical area (32, 33).

Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A method of forming a unitary, composite structural member, and a member formed in accordance with the process. The process involves stitching a plurality of warp knit panel sections together to generally form a plurality of independent panel sections. The sections are placed within the dies of a molding tool such that a rib portion of each section aligns. Inflatable bladders are then slipped into voids formed in between the various panel sections of the assembly. The bladders are inflated to hold the panel sections in the shape of the final product and to hold the rib portions in contact with one another. Resin is then infused into the panels that make up the assembly. The assembly is then cured. When the panels are removed from the molding tool a unitary, complexly shaped, composite structural member is formed. The invention provides the advantage of not requiring any subsequent manufacturing step such as bonding or mechanical fastening of two or more sub-panels in order to form the finished structural part.
