Title: Method of producing carbon fibrils
Inventor: TENNETT HOWARD G
IPC: C01B31/02
Filed: 1985-12-04
Granted: 1989-11-02
Abstract: This invention concerns an essentially cylindrical discrete carbon fibril characterized by a substantially constant diameter between about 3.5 and about 70 nanometers, e.g. between about 7 and 25 nanometers, length greater than about 102 times the diameter, an outer region of multiple essentially continuous layers of ordered carbon atoms and a distinct inner core region, each of the layers and core disposed substantially concentrically about the cylindrical axis of the fibril. Preferably the entire fibril is substantially free of thermal carbon overcoat. The invention further concerns a plurality of such fibrils. The fibril or plurality of fibrils of this invention may be produced by contacting for an appropriate period of time and at suitable pressure a suitable metal-containing particle with a suitable gaseous, carbon-containing compound, at a temperature between about 850 DEG  C. and 1200 DEG  C., the ratio on a dry weight basis of carbon-containing compound to metal containing particle being at least about 100:1. The fibrils are useful in composites having a matrix of e.g., an organic polymer, an inorganic polymer or a metal. In one embodiment the fibrils are incorporated into structural materials in a method of reinforcement. In other embodiments the fibrils may be used to enhance the electrical or thermal conductivity of a material, to increase the surface area of an electrode or capacitor plate, to provide a support for a catalyst, or to shield an object from electromagnetic radiation.

Title: Near infrared fluorescent contrast agent and fluorescence imaging
Inventor: MIWA NAOTO
IPC: C07D403/14
Filed: 1999-09-16
Granted: 2003-08-07
Abstract: A near infrared fluorescent contrast agent comprising a compound having three or more sulfonic acid groups in a molecule, and a method of fluorescence imaging comprising introducing the near infrared fluorescent contrast agent of the present invention into a living body, exposing the body to an excitation light, and detecting near infrared fluorescence from the contrast agent. The near infrared fluorescent contrast agent of the present invention is excited by an excitation light and emits near infrared fluorescence. This infrared fluorescence is superior in transmission through biological tissues. Thus, detection of lesions in the deep part of a living body has been made possible. In addition, the inventive contrast agent is superior in water solubility and low toxic, and therefore, it can be used safely.

Title: Process for the production of a large-calibre plastic pipe
IPC: B29C48/32
Filed: 1990-09-20
Granted: 1993-01-28
Abstract: Method of manufacturing a large-calibre plastic pipe, a hollow plastic profile of thermoplastic material which has a rectangular cross-section being extruded and close-together windings with adequate deformability being wound helically around the hollow plastic profile on a drum and, during the winding operation, the windings being welded to one another at the contact surfaces by means of a butt weld with axial pressure and heat being applied. The hollow plastic profile is shaped with an elongated, rectangular overall cross-section in an extrusion die as a multi-cell profile having profile outer walls and cell-forming cross-pieces. At the same time and/or thereafter, it is calibrated by internal cooling of the profile outer walls and of the cell-forming cross-pieces and provided with a dimensional strength which is stable up to a predetermined critical pressure. The calibrated and dimensionally stabilised multi-cell profile is again heated at the contact surfaces to the welding temperature of the thermoplastic material. The butt weld between the windings is welded under an axial pressure below the critical pressure for dimensional stability. - Extrusion dies for carrying out the method are also specified.

Title: Method and system for initiating idle handoff in a wireless communications system
Inventor: SHI YU
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-07-27
Granted: 2004-02-12
Abstract: A system and method for deciding whether to initiate an idle handoff in a wireless communications system is disclosed. A mobile station having an integrated chip and software instructions executed by that chip obtain samples at first and second times of the pilot signals radiated by first and second base stations. A determination is then made whether to initiate an idle handoff based upon a comparison of the total strengths of the second time samples and a position-weighting term with a design constant. The position-weighting term accounts for the change in position of the mobile station relative to the first and second base stations in between the first and second sample times. The position-weighting term may itself be weighted to account for the strength of the earliest arriving multipath component of the first and second pilots relative to the total strength of the first and second pilots.

Title: Multiple ply, alteration - inhibited stock for a match-the- hidden-indicia game
Inventor: GREIG WALTER G
IPC: A63F3/06
Filed: 1987-06-22
Granted: 1989-09-14
Abstract: Each unit of the stock for a match-the-hidden-indicia game includes a base sheet (12) printed on one face (14) with a visually ascertainable pattern of indicia (16), and a cover sheet (22) also printed on one face (25) with a visually ascertainable pattern of indicia (26), which may or may not match the pattern on the base sheet. The one face of the base sheet on at least a band including the pattern of indicia, is provided with a transparent coating of permanent adhesive (18), and a liner layer (20) is facially adhered thereto. The relative attraction of the permanent adhesive for the one surface of the base sheet and the liner layer is such that any attempt to remove the liner layer will substantially disrupt the one surface, thus giving evidence of an attempt to tamper with the pattern of indicia on the base sheet. The cover sheet (22) is temporarily facially bonded to the liner layer to base sheet (12) in such a way as to obscure the pattern of indicia on the base sheet from view until the temporary bonding (24) of the cover sheet to the liner layer is disrupted, e.g. by peeling or tearing it away.
