Abstract: Thread split inserts (12,14) used in injection molding bottle preforms of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Each insert (12,14) has a curved inner surface (36). A pair of inserts are mounted in the mold facing each other so the inner surfaces combine to form an opening (46) therethrough. The opening provides the portion of the cavity which forms the neck portion (18) of the preform. Each of the thread split inserts (12,14) has an enclosed conduit (50) through which cooling fluid circulates to improve cooling and reduce molding cycle time. The cooling fluid conduit (50) has three curved portions (60,64,68) which extend around the curved inner surface (36). Two of the curved portions (60,68) extend in one plane (70) and the other curved portion (64) of the cooling fluid conduit extends in a second parallel plane (72).

Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer which maintains a database management system. Data packets are sent from the remote units by an RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. Direct sequence spread spectrum modulation is used for the RF link. The remote hand-held units initiate an exchange using RF transmission to and from the base stations, receiving only during a rigid time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate communication to the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange.

Abstract: The present invention is a wobble plate pump (28) typically used in a reverse osmosis water purification system. The pump (28) has a piston (74) that is coupled to a wobble plate (64) by a rocker arm (66). The piston (74) has a stem which snaps into a corresponding sleeve of a diaphragm (72). The diaphragm (72) is attached to the rocker arm (66) and extends across the inner diameter of the pump (28) to provide an inner pump seal. The piston stem and diaphragm sleeve extend through an access opening in a diaphragm support plate (56). The access opening of the wobble plate (64) has an inner lip defined by a first relatively small radius near the center of the pump and a second relatively larger radius at the outer portion of the pump. The dual radiuses allow the piston (74) to symmetrically reciprocate about a surface of the diaphragm support plate (56) without inducing excessive stresses in the diaphragm (72). The symmetrical reciprocating motion maximizes the compression ratio of the pump (28). The piston (74) reciprocates within a pump chamber (76) defined by a manifold plate (54). The manifold plate (54) has outlet passages (86) located in a top portion of the chamber, so that when the pump is mounted in a horizontal position any air collected in the top portion of the chamber will be pushed through the passages. The manifold plate (54) also has an air bleed passage that allows entrapped air to escape the pump chamber when the pump is mounted in a vertical, motor up, position. The assembly has a mounting bracket which dampens the resonant audible frequency created by the pump motor and a desiccant that is located with a breather port of the motor.

Abstract: A device (2) for measuring the tension of a belt (4) including a support (6) to releasably hold the belt (4), an hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement (30), a threaded shaft (38) and a second hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement (22). The two arrangements (30, 22) are connected by an inextensible tube (32). The arrangement (30) is controlled by rotating the shaft (38) and exerts pressure on the arrangement (22) which in turn exerts pressure on the belt (4) through the hemispherical head (30). When the tension of the belt (4) is being measured the shaft (38) is tightened to a predetermined volume to eliminate air bubbles. The shaft (38) is then rotated through 360° which moves the hemispherical head (30) by a known amount against the belt (4). The tension of the belt (4) can be determined from the reading on the pressure gauge (40).

Abstract: In a compression system, three-dimensional geometry is first represented as a generalized triangle mesh, a data structure that allows each instance of a vertex in a linear stream to specify an average of two triangles. Individual positions, colors, and normals are quantized, preferably quantizing normals using a novel translation to non-rectilinear representation. A variable length compression is applied to individual positions, colors, and normals. The quantized values are then delta-compression encoded between neighbors, followed by a modified Huffman compression for positions and colors. A table-based approach is used for normals. Decompression reverses this process. The decompressed stream of triangle data may then be passed to a traditional rendering pipeline, where it is processed in full floating point accuracy.
