Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH95/00120 Sec. 371 Date May 8, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 8, 1996 PCT Filed May 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/00171 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 4, 1996Closure caps with anti-tamper strips (3) are used to visually display initial opening of a container to the public. The possibility of opening such a container without evidence should be prevented as far as possible. The possibility of stretching the anti-tamper strip (3), in order to then manipulate it past the bead on the container mouth, is here countered by an additional security ring (7). This security ring (7) is arranged coaxially to the actual anti-tamper ring (3). It is connected to the anti-tamper ring and mainly surrounds the lower area (5) of said anti-tamper ring. Access to the actual anti-tamper ring is considerably hindered as a result. In a preferred embodiment, the security ring possesses weakened zones (10) that break during manipulation, so that the interference will be visibly displayed to the outside.

Title: Hydrogen-selective silica based membrane
Inventor: OYAMA S TED
IPC: C01B3/50
Filed: 2000-01-31
Granted: 2003-10-16
Abstract: A new type of silica-modified membrane has been developed by the high-temperature, atmospheric-pressure CVD of Vycor glass. The new membrane, Nanosil, showed unprecedented selectivity to hydrogen (100%), without loss of permeability compared to the porous Vycor precursor. The membrane also showed high stability under hydrothermal conditions over prolonged time. The suitability of a Rh/Al2O3 catalyst for the methane reforming with carbon dioxide was also demonstrated. The limitations imposed by thermodynamics on methane conversion have been circumvented by the use of membranes to preferentially remove hydrogen during reaction. The shortcoming of the Knudsen mode of diffusion was overcome by the development of the modified porous glass membrane.

Title: Control system for an air conditioning/refrigeration system
Inventor: POWELL JAMES W
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 1993-02-12
Granted: 1996-06-20
Abstract: A microprocessor-based air conditioning/refrigeration control system adapted for use with a variable speed compressor measures acceleration of the compressor and the temperature or pressure of the refrigerant exiting therefrom, determines the rate of change of the temperature or pressure of the refrigerant, and decreases acceleration of the compressor if the rate of change of the temperature or pressure of the working fluid indicates surging of the compressor. Superheat of the refrigerant is maintained at a first predefined level while the compressor is operating at constant speed and is increased to a second, higher predefined level while the compressor is accelerating. The system is able to diagnose deterioration of the compressor by measuring and comparing power input to the compressor and rate of change of temperature or pressure of the refrigerant at the compressor between initial and subsequent periods, and differentiate between deterioration of a drive component or a pressurizing component of the compressor.

Title: Optical receiver including a current limiter
Inventor: GAUTHIER CLAUDE
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 1989-12-21
Granted: 1992-03-12
Abstract: A current limiter circuit receiving an input current having a non-zero DC component whose value lies in a wide range of current values, and delivering a limited output current whose value lies in a narrower range of current values. The limiter comprises a series connection of a first asymmetrical conductivity element followed by a second asymmetrical conductivity element which is followed in turn by a resistive element, the series connection extending between two poles of a voltage source so that a bias current flows through the asymmetrical conductivity elements and makes them conductive. The input current is applied to the common point between the two asymmetrical conductivity elements and the current-limited output is taken from the common point between the second asymmetrical conductivity element and the resistive element. The direction of the input current flow is such that it splits into two fractions, with one of the fractions being subtracted from the bias current in the second asymmetrical conductivity element, while the other fraction is added to the bias current in the first asymmetrical conducitivity element, thereby increasing the dynamic resistance of the second asymmetrical conductivity element and reducing the dynamic resistance of the asymmetrical conductivity element, thus limiting the output current.
