Patent EP-0911139-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHAD ROBERT D
IPC: B29C45/32
Filed: 1998-09-09
Abstract: A sprue bar assembly for a melt transfer system for stack molds comprises a sprue bar (260,268)
and a sprue bar sleeve (264,272), a sprue bar and drool restrictor (748) and sleeve or a
sprue bar and (260,268) drool restrictor (748).
For the assemblies with the sleeve, when the stack mold is opened, the sprue bar slides inside the
sprue bar sleeve which captures any leakage therefrom. When the mold is closed, the sprue bar
sweeps captured leakage out of the sleeve to an area outside the mold. As the bushing (276,280) at the end of
the sprue bar can contact the nozzle (308) of the injection machine at a point very close to the edge of the
fixed platen, the resulting minimum length of the sprue bar is reduced, reducing pressure losses
through the sprue bar and reducing the cost of the sprue bar. The sprue bar sleeve can be fabricated
from an insulating material to enhance the thermal characteristics of the sprue bar assembly and a
scraper can be provided on the sprue bar to improve removal of captured material from the sprue bar
sleeve. If a drool restrictor is provided within the bushing, the amount of drool from the sprue bar
when the bushing is not in engagement with the nozzle of the injection machine can also be reduced
and, in some circumstances, can eliminate the need for the sleeve.

Abstract: A turbine blade ( 18 ) for a gas turbine engine includes a machining
datum ( 60 ) that extends radially from a pocket ( 54 ) in the outer shroud
( 36 ) of the blade. The datum is spaced from a sidewall ( 64 ) of the pocket
so that the datum is peripherally continuous irrespective of whether the
blade is in a prefinished state or in a completely finished state. Because
the datum's peripheral continuity survives the original manufacturing
process, the datum is available for use in post-manufacturing inspection
and repair operations.

Abstract: A software visualization technique allows a software application or portfolio to be visually analyzed to determine the extent and depth of problems raised when converting an existing software application or portfolio to make application- or portfolio-wide revisions, such as those needed to respond to the year 2000 problem or the conversion to Euro currency. The software visualization technique first generates or inputs statistical data on a number of different software metrics and statistics about the conversion process, such as the data or currency dependent lines of program code, the types of affected code lines, and the sizes and complexities of the systems, subsystems and programs of a software application and of the applications forming a portfolio. These metrics and statistics are then used to alter the appearance of various views of the software application, systems, subsystems, programs individual lines of the programs generated by various visualization tools of the software visualization technique. By interacting with the various views, an analyst can quickly and cost-efficiently determine which portions of the application or portfolio need revision, and the optimal methods for implementing the revisions.

Abstract: An all-optical time-division demultiplexing circuit is designed to output all the channels of
time-division multiplexed signal pulses to different output ports simultaneously. A pulse
stream of time-division multiplexed signal pulses and linearly chirped control pulses
synchronized with the signal channels are input into an optical Kerr medium. The optical
Kerr medium provides locally cross-phase modulation to the control pulse, depending on the
presence or absence of the signal pulses of each signal channel. And the optical Kerr medium
modulates the power of the component frequencies υ 1 , υ 2 , .., υ N  of the control pulses in
accordance with each of the signal channel, by inducing the optical frequency shift to
compensate the control pulse chirp on the optical frequency axis. The Kerr medium outputs
a power modulated control light, which is separated in a wavelength-division demultiplexing
circuit into component frequencies υ 1 , υ 2 , .., υ N  of the control pulses which are to output to
respective ports of corresponding to individual signal channels.

Abstract: The method controls injection moulding equipment. Melt is introduced into a cavity (2) under control, by the injection unit (4). Internal cavity pressure (p) is measured and monitored. The novel feature is examination of one or more of the control parameters influencing the course of this pressure, following each cycle. These include injection speed, dwell pressure magnitude, dwell pressure interval and mould temperature. In this way, a control magnitude obtained, determines the need for readjustment of the relevant parameter. Any appropriate adjustment is then made.

Abstract: A method and system for automated silent call monitoring in an
automatic call distributor (ACD) environment includes configuring (34) a set of
call performance profiles which include voice data patterns which are
descriptive of voice data transmissions during an ACD call and which are
associated with substandard agent performance. Each voice data pattern
has a corresponding threshold which represents the maximum number of
detections tolerated in an ACD call prior to execution (50) of a notification
routine. A digital signal processor (22) (DSP) monitors (40) a first call
between an agent terminal (10) and a customer terminal (12) for the voice
data patterns and stores (42) detection data in memory (26) upon detecting of
one of the voice data patterns. A central processor unit (30) (CPU) compares
the number of detections of the voice patterns within predetermined time
intervals to the threshold numbers of detections represented in the thresholds
to determine (44) if any threshold has been exceeded. If no thresholds have
been exceeded, the DSP continues to monitor for the voice data patterns. If
a threshold has been exceeded, the CPU executes the notification routine
wherein a supervisor terminal (14) and the agent terminal are notified of the
exceeded threshold. A supervisor notification can include an option to
establish (52) a direct monitoring session for the first call and an option to
transfer (56) the first call to the supervisor terminal. An agent notification
preferably includes call performance analysis which provides suggestions for
improving call performance which are responsive to the detected voice data
patterns.

Abstract: The present invention discloses and claims a novel process for the heat
treatment of high denier filaments of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer.
Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of heat treated filaments of a
few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides. The process involves: (a)
heating of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to above its melting transition
temperature; (b) passing said molten polymer through an extrusion chamber equipped
with an extrusion capillary of an aspect ratio of greater than about 1 and less than
about 15 to form a filament; (c) winding the filament on to a bobbin at a low tension
and draw-down ratio of at least about 4; and (d) heat treating the filament directly on
the bobbin at suitable temperature and pressure conditions for a sufficient period of
time. The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature
essentially uniform molecular orientation across the cross-section. The heat-treated
filaments feature remarkably good tensile properties retaining at least 80 to 90 percent
of the properties expected of conventional low denier (5 to 10 dpf) filaments.
