Title: Composite abrasive wheels
Inventor: HSU SHYIGUEI
IPC: C08G18/10
Filed: 1993-11-08
Granted: 1995-03-16
Abstract: The invention describes a polyurethane having a softening temperature above 65 DEG C and being formed by the reaction, in the presence of a curing agent, of an isocyanate-terminated polymer with an hydroxyl-containing organic compound in proportions to provide a -NCO/-OH ratio of at least 1.5 to yield a crosslinked polyurethane comprising isocyanurate and/or oxazolidone structures.

Granted: 1999-05-27
Abstract: A method and a sealable, sterilizable vessel for detecting the presence of microorganisms in a specimen, the vessel containing a liquid culture medium and a sensor with an indicator medium therein. A gas permeable membrane with a gas impermeable removable seal thereon are provided in a wall of the vessel. If the microorganism to be detected is an anaerobic organism, then the gas impermeable seal is left in place. If the microorganism to be detected is an aerobic organism, then the gas impermeable seal is removed so as to allow the passage of oxygen into the vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the gas permeable membrane allows the passage of oxygen into the vessel while at least partly restricting the passage of carbon dioxide to outside of the vessel. Changes in the indicator medium resulting from a change in gas production (CO2, NH2, H2S, etc.), volatile acid production or pH concentration in the medium, are detected from outside the vessel.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US98/02634 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 9, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 9, 1999 PCT Filed Feb. 10, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/34633 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 13, 1998A solid phase peptide synthesis reactor system and method of operating the reactor are provided. The reactor system includes a basket rotatable about an axis within a housing and a receiver which delivers fluid to, and collects fluid from, the housing. The basket has a perforate side wall against which a resin cake for the peptide synthesis is formed. The reactor and receiver form a loop or circuit through which solutions are circulated. The circulation of the solutions prevents the reactor from flooding so that the basket will not be submerged in solution and allows for the use of less liquid. Thus greater amino acid concentrations may be used. The method includes forming a resin cake of uniform depth on the wall of the spinning basket and spraying the solutions against the resin cake while spinning the basket. The solutions will pass through the resin cake and drain to the receiver to be circulated or recycled through the system or discharged from the system. Before a subsequent solution is introduced into the reactor system, the prior solution is purged from the system to help control exposure time of the peptide to the solutions.

Title: A method and apparatus for reeling a wound web roll
Inventor: ADAMSKI BRIAN C
IPC: B65H18/26
Filed: 1994-04-28
Granted: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reeling a traveling web, such as paper produced on a paper-making machine, includes a pair of spaced, horizontally disposed rails for supporting one or more reel spools. One of the reel spools is rotated to bring it up to machine speed. A support drum is moved translationally substantially vertically from beneath the rotating reel spool to engage it along a nip line of contact. The on-coming web is directed into the nip of the rotatably driven reel spool to begin the web reeling process to build a wound web roll. The support drum remains in contact with the wound web roll building upon the reel spool continuously until the desired wound web roll diameter is attained. The reel spool/wound web roll is maintained under the control, or influence, of three forces at all times during the formation of the wound web roll: 1) torque from a drive attached to the reel spool, 2) nip pressure from the support drum, 3) web tension of the web coming onto the driven reel spool. The support drum preferably partially supports the wound web roll at all times during the reeling process, and the wound web roll remains horizontal on the support rails at all times as the wound web roll is formed.
