Granted: 1992-11-10
Abstract: FOUR-WAY AIRFLOW INDUCED DRAFT CROSSFLOW COOLING TOWER         Abstract of the Disclosure A crossflow cooling tower has a number of fill  structure  sections  which  are  arranged  at equally spaced intervals around the entire perimeter of a central plenum that receives generally horizon-tal currents of air simultaneously from all of the fill structure sections and causes the air to be discharged in an upwardly direction out of the tower.  In one embodiment, the tower is provided with four upright fill structure sections disposed in a square arrangement in horizontal view, and a number of the towers may be located adjacent each other in a side-by-side diamond-like arrangement so that each air inlet face of each tower readily communicates with the atmosphere.   Both the hot water distribution basin and the cold water dis-tribution basin are formed as integrally molded, one-piece components,  and four upright air baffle corner supports carry the weight of adjacent fill structure sections as well as the load presented by the overhead hot water basin, thereby minimizing the need for additional supporting members, bracing or casings to provide necessary structural integrity.

Title: Trunked communication system with nationwide roaming capability
Inventor: COMROE RICHARD A
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1988-12-15
Granted: 1991-04-02
Abstract: TRUNKED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH   NATIONWIDE ROAMING CAPABILITY            Abstract Selected regional trunking systems are equipped with telephone interconnect capability and provided with local computers (106), which communicate with a national hub computer (110).  At each selected trunking system, several IDs are reserved as "roaming IDs" to be temporarily assigned to roaming subscribers (112).  When a subscriber determines that it has roamed into a new trunked system, it requests a roaming ID.  A roaming ID is assigned and transmitted to the subscriber, which thereafter operates within the new trunked system using its roaming ID.  The roaming assignment is also transmitted to the national hub computer (110) so that interconnect calls may be appropriately properly forwarded.  The roaming subscriber (112) continues to operate under the assigned roaming ID until it roams out of the range of the current system and into yet another trunked system.  In this way, the subscribers may roam from system to system.

Title: Underwater acoustic animal guidance system
Inventor: LOEFFELMAN PAUL H
IPC: A01M29/16
Filed: 1989-09-08
Granted: 1995-03-28
Abstract: A system and method for developing acoustic underwater stimuli for guiding aquatic animals such as fish, to or from an underwater area.   Fish captured from the underwater area are placed in a sound recording chamber and their sounds recorded.   The spectrum of the recorded sound is analyzed and is used to vary a primary sound spectrum in accordance with predominate frequencies contained therein to create a sound believed to have the most efficient guidance effect on the fish since the fish are believed to be most responsive to sounds produced by the fish themselves.   The captured fish are then placed in a behavior chamber preferably located in the underwater area.   The created sound or stimuli is applied to behavior chamber to determine its effect on the fish contained therein and may be modified to arrive at the most effective sound.   This sound then is applied to the underwater area and measured to ensure that it has been properly applied.

Title: Coincidence arbitration in a flow cytometry sorting system
Inventor: AUER ROBERT E
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1989-09-28
Granted: 1994-08-30
Abstract: ABSTRACT     A coincidence arbitration system for a sorting cytometer which detects and sorts particles using a flow chamber and a stream of droplets.  Those droplets containing selected particles are sorted by selectively applying a charge thereto and passing the droplets through deflection plates.  After detection, the particle data is delayed and analyzed to make sort decisions.  The delay is for a period of one and one fourth droplet time periods less than the time the  particle is formed into a droplet. At the time the command is issued creating the charge on the droplet to be formed, the coincidence arbitration circuit looks four quarter droplet times ahead and behind of the event to determine whether a coincidence is occurring, and if so, whether the coincidence is with a similar type of particle or a different type of particle. Based on this information, appropriated sort or no-sort commands are issued.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A controlled stream of liquid cryogen is delivered from a system comprising:  a) a source of liquid cryogen at a substantially constant pressure, remote from the outlet;  b) a conduit connecting the liquid cryogen source to the outlet; c) means to maintain cryogen flowing through the conduit sub-cooled at all points along the conduit (i.e., at any given point in the conduit, the cryogen's equilibrium vapor pressure is below the pressure experienced at that point in the conduit), and to deliver the cryogen to the outlet at a temperature equal to or below its boiling point at atmospheric pressure; and d) a flow-rate control restriction, positioned in the conduit.  By maintaining the cryogen sub-cooled, the flow is kept substantially (at least about 95% by volume) liquid. Therefore, the flow in the conduit is controlled reliably as to pressure, flow rate, and size. Specifically, the rate at which liquid cryogen is delivered at the outlet is controlled by the cross-sectional area of the flow-control restriction, and severe flashing at the outlet is avoided.

Abstract: A display for use in conjunction with a copier. The disclosed display comprises two microprocessors for controllably displaying information on a display panel of a xerographic copier. A first microprocessor is primarily responsible for energizing alphanumeric elements to either send messages to the copier user or to prompt the user to interact with the copier. A second display is a liquid crystal display wherein selectively energizable liquid crystal elements corresponding to copier components can be rendered visible under the control of the second microprocessor. An overlay pattern can be placed above the liquid crystal display to present to the user in outline form the copier architecture with which he is interacting. This overlay can be changed as the copier configuration is changed. The electronics for controlling the display of alphanumeric allows the utilization of different fonts and/or different languages. This flexibility allows the copier to prompt, and/or display information regarding copier status in various languages without a redesign of the display unit.

Abstract: A process for the optical resolution of racemic 1,4-dihydropyridines, containing isothioureido groups. Salification of racemic isothioureas with optically active acids produces diasteroisomeric mixtures of isothiouronium salts, that, using conventional techniques, are separated in the individual components to give optically pure isothioureides of 1,4-dihydropyridines and salts thereof with conventional acids. Said optically pure 1,4-dihydropyridines can then be subjected to desulphuration and to different transformations to give other enantiomerically pure and therapeutically useful 1,4-dihydropyridines.
