Inventor: MATTES HENRI
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 1997-10-29
Abstract: A synthesis member (10) preferably comprises two elements: a crown (12) and a stem (14). The stem (14) includes a tag, such as a transponder (16), that is used to identify the synthesis member (10) and/or the synthetic history of the synthesis member (10) when used in automated synthesis of compound libraries containing large numbers (e.g. 1000 or more) compounds. The crown (12) provides the location at which compounds are synthesized. The combination of a crown (12) for use with compound synthesis and stem allows the tracking of individual synthesis member (10) from a library containing thousands of such synthesis members (10). Because each synthesis member (10) is individually tracked and can be logged into a database and/or process flow control system, the synthesis of several thousand individual compounds in conventional containers, such as round bottom flask is made possible using only traditional compound synthesis approaches.

Filed: 1997-12-03
Abstract: A vehicle seat mounting assembly (20) includes a locking device (34) mounted on an upper track (32) that moves relative to a lower track (30). The mounting device includes a plurality of locking pawls that engage one or more slots on the lower track so that the upper track, and the seat, are maintained in a fixed position relative to the lower track. The locking device includes a first release bracket (38) for disengaging the locking device and adjusting the position of the seat. Activation of the first release bracket (38) causes simultaneous movement of a seat position indicator (90). The seat position indicator remains stationary relative to the lower track in the event that a second release bracket (80) is used to disengage the locking device. When the second release bracket (80) is used, the position indicator (90) serves to provide for automatic repositioning of the seat into its last position before activation of the second release lever. The locking device further includes a plurality of locking pawls that are dimensioned and spaced in a preselected order corresponding to dimensions and spacings of slots in the lower track so that at least one of the locking pawls engages at least one slot in the lower track at all times that the locking device is in a locking position.

Title: Vehicle door locking system with separate power operated inner door and outer door locking mechanisms
Inventor: CETNAR ROMAN
IPC: E05B65/20
Filed: 1998-02-04
Abstract: A power-operated vehicle door locking assembly including separate inner and outer door locking mechanisms connected with a housing assembly and an electric motorized system oper-able to selectively move (1) the inner door lock-ing mechanism between an inoperative and an inner door locking position in response to inner manual electric motor energizing actuations and (2) the outer door locking mechanism between an inoperative and an outer door locking posi-tions in response to outer manual electric motor energizing actuations. The arrangement is such that an outer manual electric motor energizing actuation without a corresponding inner manual electric motor energizing actuation causes a door latching assembly when in a door latching posi-tion to be incapable of being moved into a door unlatching position by an outer door latch releas-ing mechanism while at the same time the door latching assembly is capable of being moved into the door unlatching position thereof by an inner door latch releasing mechanism.

Title: Printer mailboxing system with automatic variable capacity bins
Inventor: FERRARA JOSEPH J
IPC: B65H39/11
Filed: 1999-09-03
Abstract: In a mailboxing system in which the different numbers and types of printed sheets being printed by the different users of a shared users printer are separately stored in different assigned mailbox bins in an array of mailbox bins, there is provided a system for automatically changing the spacing between selected adjacent bins to provide selectably different sheet stacking capacities for different bins for the different numbers of printed sheets being stored in the respective bins of different users. With this system the bin capacity can also be automatically reduced when the sheets are removed from that bin. Greatly increased overall and individual bin sheet stacking capacity is thus provided for the same overall system size as compared to conventional fixed spacing bins. Also, many more print jobs can be stored in the same user-assigned bin instead of having to split up large print jobs into other, overflow, bins. A simple split (dual independently rotated sections) auger bin movement system can provide the automatic bin repositioning for the selectable variable bin capacity.

Title: Coin discrimination apparatus and method
Inventor: PARTLOW JOHN
IPC: G07D3/12
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: A coin discrimination apparatus and method is provided. Coins, preferably after cleaning, e.g. using a trommel (52), are singulated by a coin pickup assembly configured to reduce jamming. A coin rail (56) assists in providing separation between coins as they travel past a sensor (58). The sensor (58) provides an oscillating electromagnetic field generated on a single sensing core (212). The oscillating electromagnetic field is composed of one or more frequency components. The electromagnetic field interacts with a coin, and these interactions are monitored and used to classify the coin according to its physical properties. All frequency components of the magnetic field are phase-locked to a common reference frequency. The phase relationships between the various frequencies are fixed, and the interaction of each frequency component with the coins can be accurately determined without the need for complicated electrical filters.

Title: Apparatus and method of generating stock turbulence in a fourdrinier forming section
Inventor: PITT RICHARD E
IPC: D21F1/48
Filed: 1999-06-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus generates turbulence to deflocculate relatively thick stock layers carried in an open surface forming section of a papermaking machine at operating speeds of up to 400m/min, for products having a basis weight of at least 160gsm. A dewatering box provides vacuum assisted drainage, having a set of dewatering elements, each set including a lead-in element, at least one intermediate element, and a trailing element. The path of the forming fabric is deflected downwardly as it passes over the intermediate elements, which are inclined at an angle between 0° and 10° from a plane defined by fabric supporting surfaces on the lead-in and riser elements. The resultant turbulence and agitation deflocculates the stock and reduces sheet sealing. The apparatus can be used in combination with other known formation and drainage devices, located either upstream or downstream, to augment their performance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de polymérisation catalytique en phase gazeuse réalisé dans deux zones de polymérisation interconnectées, zones dans lesquelles on introduit un ou plusieurs monomères en présence d'un catalyseur, dans des conditions de polymérisation et zones à partir desquelles le polymère produit est déchargé. Les particules croissantes de polymère circulent dans une première zone de polymérisation dans des conditions de fluidisation rapide; elles quittent cette première zone pour pénétrer dans une seconde zone de polymérisation à travers de laquelle elles s'écoulent sous forme densifiée sous l'effet de la pesanteur; elles quittent la seconde zone et sont réintroduites dans la première zone de polymérisation, de façon à établir une circulation du polymère entre les deux zones de polymérisation. La présente invention est caractérisée en ce qu'un gaz, d'une composition différente de celle présente dans la première zone de polymérisation, est introduit dans la seconde zone de polymérisation, et en ce que l'on évite que les gaz présents dans la première zone de polymérisation soient introduits dans la seconde zone de polymérisation. Le procédé est particulièrement approprié pour obtenir des mélanges réalisés dans le réacteur de polymères oléfiniques de compositions différentes.

Title: High efficiency process for recovering sulfur from h2s-bearing gas
Inventor: LYNN SCOTT
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: Elemental sulfur is recovered from the H2S present in natural gas and other process gases in a reaction scheme that combines a liquid-phase reactor, a furnace and an SO2 absorber. The reactor reacts the H2S with SO2 using excess H2S in the liquid phase in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst, and the SO2 is supplied to the reactor by combusting the unreacted H2S in the furnace, recovering the SO2 from the combustion gas in an absorber and directing the recovered SO2 to the reactor. The reaction scheme produces no reaction products other than S and H2O.
