Patent EP-1060720-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NIELSEN STEVEN JAMES
IPC: B31B17/00
Filed: 1995-08-21
Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for forming a curl on an end of the
applicator. The apparatus includes first and second members.
The first member is capable of holding the tubular member and
has an external shoulder beyond which the first end of the
tubular member extends a set amount. The second member is co-axially
aligned with and is engageable with the first end of
the tubular member. The second member includes a pilot which
is sized to be inserted into the first end of the tubular
member. The second member also includes a sleeve which
surrounds the pilot and cooperates with the external shoulder
when the second member engages the first end of the tubular
member to form a curling chamber. The second member further
includes a curling element positioned between the pilot and the
sleeve which is capable of contacting the first end of the
tubular member. The apparatus further includes means for
rotating one of the members and means for moving the members
into engagement. As the members engage, the curling element
contacts the first end of the tubular member and forms a curl
thereon within the confines of the curling chamber.

Abstract: In an image distortion correcting device of the present
invention, an arithmetic section sequentially captures an image
signal of a screen composed of a plurality of lines by an image
pickup camera and writes it in a memory, obtains a shift amount
necessary for each pixel on the basis of a map stored in a ROM,
and reads out an image signal corresponding to each line of an output
image from the memory in accordance with this shift amount and
sequentially outputs it to a display.

Abstract: A continuous ink jet printing system using asymmetrical heating of
the fluid in which the nozzle bore (46, 76, 78) of the printhead preferably has a
non-circular opening. The nozzle bore (46, 76, 78) has reflection symmetry about

Abstract: A marine pipeline installation technique that allows the
required length of pipeline (11) to be welded and assembled
onshore, with the full pipeline length then being towed for
installation. A series of buoyancy balls (18) or cylindrical
tanks are attached to the pipeline (11) at selected intervals.
The skin of the balls (18) or tanks is fabricated from a soft,
strong material. A flexible hose (20) in fluid communication
with each buoyancy ball (18) or tank is in fluid communication
at each end with a storage tank that contains a buoyancy agent.

IPC: G01R31/58

Abstract: A method and apparatus are used for locating cable breaks and resistive
faults in cables, including fibre optic cables. The conductive shield or armour of the
cable is divided into sections, usually at a splice. A step function voltage is applied
to one end of the conductive shield. Remote sensors at the end of each section
monitor the voltage and current as a function of time and at steady state. The
measured data are encoded as current pulses and transmitted along the armour to
the end of the cable. A computer at the cable end calculates from the measured
voltages and currents the capacitance of each section of the shield. A broken
section is identified by comparing the calculated and original capacitances of the
sections and the distance along the broken section to the break is calculated from
the calculated and original capacitances of the broken section. Resistive faults in
the cable are located by calculating a fault resistance of each section of the shield
from the measured steady state voltages and currents. A section containing a
resistive fault is identified from the magnitude of the calculated fault resistance and
the distance to the resistive fault is calculated from the measured steady state
voltages and currents of the faulted section.

Abstract: A self-aligining connection assembly is provided for aligning a pair
of optical components (14,16) adjacent to one another. The assembly
includes a stepped silicon substrate (12) having a first surface (18)
vertically offset from a second surface (22). At least one rib (24,32)
with angled walls (26,34) extends from the first and second surfaces
such that a first supporting portion (38,40) thereof is substantially
parallel to a central plane of the substrate. A first optical component

the rib proximate the first surface of the substrate. A second optical
component (16) which is larger than the first optical component and has
a channel formed therein, engages the first supporting portion of the
rib proximate the second surface (22) of the substrate. Although the
first and second optical components have different heights relative to
their core waveguides, due to the stepped configuration of the
substrate, the core waveguides of the first and second optical
components align.

IPC: G06F17/30

Abstract: The present invention allows content to be transferred with source
equipment retaining the content. 
     Content is transferred to destination equipment while at the same
time it is retained on the source equipment. This allows the content
to be used on both source and destination equipment in contrast to the
usual move operation in which content is removed from the source
equipment and used only on the destination equipment. While content
is under transferred control, the source equipment cannot transfer the
control of the content to any third equipment. Thus, the content is
held only on the two pieces of equipment: the source equipment and
destination equipment. In this respect, content control transfer
differs from the first-generation duplication which can produce
multiple duplicates (first-generation) from the original content. 
     Also, content control transfer differs from one-time duplication in
that content control can be transferred to third equipment if the content
is returned from the source equipment.
