Title: Clip/frame a new bridge
Inventor: CHAI WEIZHEN
IPC: G02C5/02
Filed: 2002-07-29
Abstract: To a pair of glasses people now wear, the frames are connected with the bridge by soldering for almost all the types. It's the same structure for a pair of clip of sun-glasses. As the high temperature of soldering would destroy the surface of electroplating, it is almost impossible to make a clip or frame by a small company without the capability to do the plating. This invention would avoid the procedure of soldering so that small company could make a clip or frame by the plated material available.        The following parts mainly comprise of this new frame/clip: (1)bridge with screwthread (2)bridge holder with screwthread (3)frame When assembling this new frame/clip, the assembler could finish connecting the two frames and the bridge simply by screwing the bridge into the bridge holders.

Title: Vehicle hydraulic system monitoring system and method
Inventor: EISELE EDWIN LEE
IPC: F16H61/00
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring a vehicle hydraulic system having a plurality of hydraulic function elements. The hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump for supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid to the plurality of hydraulic function elements via a corresponding plurality of hydraulic element control valves, an electronic control unit for controlling the element control valves.

Abstract: This invention relates to preparation and use of nanocomposites comprised of an elastomer matrix which contains a dispersion therein of at least partially exfoliated platelets of an intercalated, multilayered, water swellable clay (e.g.  montmorillonite clay). The exfoliated platelets are derived from such intercalated clay formed by an in situ cation exchange phenomenon between cationically exchangeable ions within the galleries between the layers of the multilayered clay with a pre-formed latex of cationic (positively charged) elastomer particles. Said positively charged latex elastomer particles may be prepared by free radical emulsion polymerization using:   (A) a non-polymerizable cationic surfactant, and/or (B) a polymerizable cationic surfactant.   Optionally, an additional cationic charge may be incorporated onto the cationic elastomer latex particles through the use and in the presence of:   (C) a polymerizable comonomer bearing a cationic charge, (D) a free radical generating polymerization initiator bearing a cationic charge, and/or (E) a free radical chain transfer agent bearing a cationic charge.        Such free radical induced emulsion polymerizations are exclusive of a thermoplastic polymer latex and are exclusive of the presence of an anionic surfactant. Rubber composites can be prepared by blending such nanocomposite with additional elastomer(s), additional reinforcing fillers) and/or a coupling agent. The invention further relates to the preparation of articles of manufacture, including tires, having at least one component comprised of said nanocomposite or said rubber composite.  Such a tire component may be selected from, for example, tire tread and tire innerliner.
