Title: Photoconductive cell
IPC: H01L31/08
Filed: 1989-03-02
Granted: 1993-10-06
Abstract: A photoconductive cell comprises a photodetector section, which is composed of an aggregation of tetrapod-like zinc oxide whiskers (4). Each whisker consists of a core and needle-shaped crystals extending in four different directions from the core. Since this novel tetrapod-like zinc oxide whisker (4) consists of single-crystal zinc oxide, it suffers less deterioration. In addition, the single-crystal material is transparent, and has a high porosity. Therefore light tends to enter deep portions of the cell so that it exhibits high sensitivity.

Title: Sound-absorbant roller shutter slat of aluminium or aluminium alloy and its method of production
IPC: E06B9/165
Filed: 1990-06-15
Granted: 1992-11-25
Abstract: 2.1 In the actuation of a roller shutter, more or less substantial generation of noise inevitably takes place, in particular in the case of metal roller shutter slats. The new roller shutter slat is intended to reduce this generation of noise. The new method is intended to permit simple and economic manufacture of such roller shutter slats. 2.2 According to the invention, the walls of a metal roller shutter slat are provided with coatings of different layer weights. The correspondingly asymmetrical distribution of weight on the walls results in damping of the vibrations of the entire system, and hence in a significant reduction of the generation of noise. According to the proposed method for manufacturing such a roller shutter slat, an aluminium strip is initially provided with a plurality of adjacent longitudinal layers of different layer weights. The coated strip is divided into longitudinal slivers with at least two adjoining layers. The slivers obtained are converted to the roller shutter slats according to the invention by conventional roll forming. 2.3 Sound-adsorbent roller shutter slats and their manufacture. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1994-07-13
Abstract: A method and device for determining the presence of an analyte in a sample suspected of containing the analyte is disclosed. The method involves contacting a test solution containing the sample and a first member of a specific binding pair with an end portion of a strip of bibulous material capable of being traversed by the test solution through capillary action. The first member of a specific binding pair is capable of binding the analyte. The strip contains a second member of a specific binding pair integral therewith for concentrating and non-diffusively binding the first sbp member at a small situs on the strip separated from the end portion of the strip. The detectible signal is produced in relation to the presence of the analyte in the test solution. The test solution passes through the situs as the test solution traverses the bibulous material. After the test solution has been allowed to traverse at least a portion of the strip, the strip is contacted with a developer solution containing members of a signal producing system in a manner that provides contact of the developer solution with the small situs following its contact with the test solution. The strip is then contacted with any remaining members of the signal producing system. The detectible signal produced at the situs is then compared with the signal detectible at a portion of the strip other than the situs to determine the analyte in the sample. In one embodiment of the invention the signal produced at the small situs has a sharp-edged distinctive pattern that provides a sharp contrast to the signal produced at adjacent sites on the strip when analyte is present in the test solution.

Abstract: An electromagnetic relay comprising a fixed end terminal piece including a main part (17e), a narrowed portion (17b) extending there from, and a relatively broader mounting portion (17a) formed at a free end of the narrowed portion and carrying a fixed contact (18) thereon. Since a strong magnetic field in generated by the concentration of electric current in the narrowed portion, and an electric arc generated across the contacts is subjected to a corresponding electromagnetic force according to Fleming's left-hand rule, the arc is either eliminated or deflected from the shortest path between the two contacts, and the welding together of the two contacts is effectively prevented. Also, the durability of the contacts is substantially improved through deflection or elimination of the arc.

Abstract: Disclosed are improved handles (200) applicable to a wide variety of apparatuses, equipment and devices found in industry, commerce, in the home, or for exercise or recreational purposes. The improved handle (200) may be fashioned integrally with the apparatus or as a retrofit attachment therefor. In using the handle (200), the person's hand is inserted through an opening (204) and into a chamber (203) formed between the inner and outer walls (201,202) of the handle (200). The palm of the person's hand substantially rests on the convex inner surface (206) of an inner wall (201) of the handle (200), while the back of the person's hand substantially confronts the concave inner surface (207) of the outer wall (202). With this arrangement, the user's hand is maintained substantially in a curved natural "at rest" position, rather than being tightly closed, so that a forceful grip is no longer necessary. As a result, the human effort and energy required to manipulate or control the associated apparatus, equipment or device is substantially reduced, thereby substantially reducing the fatigue normally associated therewith. Moreover, in certain applications (such as portable power tools (246)) the handles (200) provide an enhanced safety feature.

Title: Method and apparatus for contacting solid particles and fluid
IPC: C10G11/18
Filed: 1990-07-11
Granted: 1993-09-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for contacting solid particles and fluid. A liquid is sprayed as liquid droplets from the discharge tip of a nozzle (50) into hot solid particles passing upwardly in a vertical pipe (23). A venturi is formed in the pipe, and the venturi has an entrance portion which is upwardly convergent to the throat and an exit portion which is upwardly divergent from the throat. The tip of the nozzle (50) is so located relative to the venturi that liquid droplets commence vaporization, due to heat transfer from the hot solid particles, no further upstream (relative to the direction of movement of solid particles up the pipe (23)) then the throat of the venturi thereby resulting in a high degree of turbulence which causes good mixing of particles and vapour downstream of the venturi throat. The particles-vapour mixture leaving the exit portion of the venturi is well mixed and particles are substantially uniformly mixed with vapour in radial planes of the pipe (23) downstream of the venturi. The energy of the droplets entering the pipe (23) from the nozzle (50) is shared with particles upstream of the throat and accelerates them to higher velocities in the pipe (23). The method and apparatus may be employed for mixing a hydrocarbon feed with hot active craking catalyst particles in a catalytic cracking unit or process to reduce yields of light gas and coke and to increase yields of more valuable hydrocarbon products.
