Title: Improved faucet with floating seal member
Inventor: STROBEL JOHN M
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 2007-02-21
Granted: 2012-08-23
Abstract: A liquid dispensing faucet including a flow control lever engaging a sealing member within an internal cavity of a faucet body. The sealing member is held within the faucet body in an oversized recess permitting liquid to flow about all sides of the sealing member when the flow control handle is placed in an open position and liquid flows through the faucet body. The faucet body may have a removable spout mounted at a second end of the body. An air inlet may be included within a flow path of the liquid downstream of the sealing member. This air inlet promotes the removal of residual liquid from the flow path when the flow lever is in a closed position and is positioned to discourage flow of the liquid through the air inlet when the flow lever is in an open position.

Granted: 2013-03-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a collision in random access channel (RACH) access transmissions are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits WTRU -dependent information (106) to confirm that a detected acquisition indicator (AI) (104) is intended to the WTRU. The WTRU - dependent information (106) may be transmitted separately after detecting the AI (104), may be transmitted along with a RACH preamble (102), or may be sent in an E-RACH message (110). The WTRU -dependent information (106) may be a random number, a sequence or scrambling code randomly selected from a pre- determined set of sequences or scrambling codes. Alternatively, the WTRU- dependent information (106) may be a pre -configured identifier, or information derived from the pre -configured identifier. Alternatively, after detecting an AI (104), the WTRU may randomly select an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) resource from a set of E-DCH resources associated with an RACH resource used for transmission of the RACH preamble (102) and transmit an E-RACH message (110) using the selected E-DCH resource.

Title: Optical fiber bragg grating with improved hydrogen resistance
Inventor: HOMA DANIEL S
IPC: G02B6/124
Filed: 2008-12-16
Granted: 2014-07-24
Abstract: Hydrogen-induced losses in germanium-doped fibers is significantly reduced by increasing the concentration of oxygen in the core region of the glass. The increase in oxygen functions to 'heal' the germanium-deficient defects, thus substantially reducing the sites where hydrogen bonding can intrude. Advantageously, the presence of the excess oxygen does not compromise the ability to create UV-induced gratings in the fiber's core area. Indeed, the stability of the glass has been found to increase even further during UV radiation. Thus, an FBG structure suitable for use in harsh, high temperature environments can be formed.

Abstract: A system and method for decontaminating water and generating water vapor includes introducing contaminated water in to a vessel. The water is moved through a series of rotating trays alternately separated by stationary baffles so as to swirl and heat the water to effect the vaporization thereof to produce a vapor having at least some of the contaminants separated therefrom. The vapor is removed from the vessel for condensing apart from the separated contaminants and the remaining water. The vapor may be passed through a turbine connected to an electric generator. Sensors in a controller may be employed to adjust the speed of rotation of the trays or water input into the vessel in response to the sensed conditions. The treated water may be recirculated and reprocessed through the vessel to increase the purification thereof.
