Abstract: A process for the production of a plastic product from at least first and second different thermoplastics includes providing an injection mold with a plurality of initial chambers that are separated from each other by a plurality of separating members and injecting the first thermoplastic into these chambers to fill same and thereby form a plurality of first thermoplastic elements. The separating members are then moved in the mold so as to form a secondary chamber having the plurality of first elements arranged therein and space to accommodate further thermoplastic material. The second thermoplastic material is then injected into the secondary chamber so that the first elements are joined with the second thermoplastic in order to produce the product. In the preferred process, the initial chambers are arranged in an alternating manner above and below a separation line defined by the inner end surfaces of the separating devices in their separating positions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a conical or domed ring light having a plurality of light sources arranged at a desired angle with respect to an optical axis. Some of the dimensions of the illumination apparatus are first determined and, then using the appropriate formulas, the remaining dimensions of the circuit board are calculated. Thereafter, the calculated dimensions are employed to cut, from a planar flexible circuit board, the desired arcuate section(s). The light sources are then installed at desired locations on a first surface of the flexible circuit board and are each coupled to a common electrical connector, having one or a plurality of power sources, to facilitate supplying electrical power to each one of the light sources. The circuit board is then folded into a conical or domed configuration, with the light sources facing inward, and each abutted end and lateral surfaces of the folded circuit board is suitably secured or fastened to one another to permanently retain the flexible circuit board in its folded state.

Title: Multichamber dispensing container
Inventor: CONNAN PATRICK ANDRE
IPC: B65D35/22
Filed: 1998-08-05
Abstract: A multichamber container such as a multichamber tube or multichamber pump can deliver the contained products in varying arrays by the use of container shoulders of different channel configurations. The container body remains the same with chamber dividing walls (12, 22, 32, 52) extending from the container base to the container shoulder. The container shoulder attachment to the container walls and to the chamber dividing walls can remain essentially the same. Within the shoulder, channels direct the flow of each product so that it has a number of arrays from an A/B/A sandwich to axial arrays to semiconcentric arrays to fully concentric arrays. The channels that are a part of the shoulder will direct the product from each chamber to be dispensed in a single stream or multiple streams. Also, the streams can be shaped to many different shapes by the shape and the arrangement of the channels in the shoulder.

Title: Method and device for fixing optical fibres
Inventor: ENGSTRAND JAN-AKE
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for aligning wave guides such as optical fibres on a carrier. In order to fix the wave guide such as optical fibres on a carrier made of e.g. silicon, adhesive and a lid have been used, wherein the optical fibres have been placed in grooves on the carrier and the adhesive supplied to capillaries between the optical fibres in the grooves on the carrier and the attached lid, whereby a fixation of the optical fibres on the carrier has been obtained. In order to improve the adhesive penetration and to minimise the risk for air bubbles being formed between the carrier and the lid the lid has been formed divided comprised of for example two ribs (14, 15) arranged in parallel. The ribs when fastened onto the carrier will form two short capillaries between the ribs and the carrier with the optical fibres whereby it becomes easier to introduce the adhesive between the ribs and the optical fibres on the carrier and the adhesive will be able to be ventilated better.

Title: Method for installing software components at a user-terminal, related devices and related software modules
Inventor: CHANTRAIN DOMINIQUE HELENA LUC
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and related devices for installing software components at a user-terminal of a plurality of user-terminals in a communications-network. This communications network further consists of a plurality of hosts and a plurality of network gateways. The user-terminal is connected to one of the network gateways.      The network gateway receives a connection request from a user-terminal to establish a connection between the user-terminal and one of the hosts and detects if the software components are available at the user-terminal. If the software components are not available, the network gateway sets the establishment of the connection between the user-terminal and the host in hold and subsequently establishes a connection between the user-terminal and a service provisioning network element that also is included in the communications network. The service provisioning network element downloads the software components to the user-terminal over a established connection between the user-terminal and the service provisioning network element. The network gateway resumes the establishment of the connection between the user-terminal and the host upon detection of the end of the download.
