Patent BR-9913058-A (BR)
Inventor: BRANDT PATRICIA JO ANDOLINO
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: The present invention provides novel "patch in a bottle" technology in which a fluid composition, e.g., an aerosol spray, is applied onto a surface as a fluid, but then dries to form a covering element, such as a patch, having a tack free outer surface covering an underlying adhesive that helps adhere the patch to the substrate. The fluid compositions have a unique chemical formulation that allows such composite patches to form in situ. Specifically, the fluid compositions include a tacky component, such as an adhesive, and a film-forming, non-tacky component. The non-tacky and tacky components are selected to be immiscible with each other so that the components undergo phase separation as the fluid composition dries.

Title: Electrical cable gland
Inventor: LACKINGER FRANZ
IPC: H02G/
Filed: 2001-05-11
Abstract: A cable gland (1) having an armour clamp assembly is provided wherein the clamp assembly comprises an armour clamping cone (4) and a cooperating clamping ring (5). The armour clamping cone and clamping ring each have a first cooperating conical clamping surface (11, 12) of substantially conventional and relatively small cone angle and a second cooperating clamping surface (14, 15) which diverges outwardly from the first conical surface at the larger diameter end of the first clamping surface. The second cooperating clamping surfaces (14, 15) are adapted to clamp between them armouring (16) of relatively small thickness whilst the first cooperating clamping surfaces are adapted to clamp between them armouring (13) of relatively larger thickness. The invention makes use of the fact that relatively thick armouring (13) such as relatively stiff longitudinally extending wires must be clamped to withstand substantial tensile whilst the thinner armouring (16) such as relatively fine braided wires and metal tape can be effectively clamped between the second clamping surfaces (14, 15) to provide good electrical contact between the clamping surfaces and the armouring. It is not generally required of a cable gland to withstand substantial tensile force in the case of the less robust and relatively thin armouring.

Title: A method for estimating a change in the amount of oxidants stored in the catalyst of an exhaust system.
Inventor: LEWIS DONALD JAMES
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A method of estimating a change in the amount of oxidants stored in the catalyst of an exhaust system comprises determining an amount of oxidants available for being stored in a catalyst 52, estimating current amount of oxidants stored in the catalyst, determining the amount of oxidants required to oxidise by-products being produced by the engine at a given engine air/fuel ratio and then estimating an amount of oxidants which are retained or released by the catalyst over a period of time based on the amount of oxidants available for being stored and the amount of oxidants required to oxidise by-products being produced by the engine in that time period. The estimation of the amount of oxidants which are retained or released by the catalyst may be further based on a flow rate of oxidants in an exhaust manifold 48 of the exhaust system and a storage volume of the catalyst, on the temperature or degree of degradation of the catalyst. The by products may be reductants such as hydrocarbons. The estimated total of oxidants stored may be compared with a measured amount of oxidants stored. The exhaust system may comprise an exhaust gas sensor [EGO] 53 downstream of the catalyst. Also claimed is a system for deriving an air/fuel adjustment employing an oxidant set-point generator responsive to at least one engine operating parameter and a target oxidant level, a current oxidant level generator and an oxidant level/capacity controller. The current oxidant level generator may estimate an amount of oxidants which are retained or released by the catalyst over a period of time and the amount of oxidants required to oxidise by-products being produced by the engine in that time period.
