Title: Veneer sorting apparatus
Inventor: MCKAY DARYL GORDON
IPC: B65H29/58
Filed: 1994-11-04
Granted: 1998-08-18
Abstract: Veneer sorting apparatus for sorting a moving stream of arbitrarily ordered full width,  random width, fishtail and trash veneer pieces in response to a signal representative of a characteristic such as width.   Each piece is deflected into an appropriate output path: one path contains  substantially only full width pieces,  a second path contains substantially only trash pieces, and a third path contains  substantially only fishtail  and random width veneer pieces.   A first vacuum source is coupled to  a  first  series  of vacuum ports positioned closely proximate to and spaced transversely across the moving stream.  Vacuum applied through the ports initially draws all the pieces toward the full width output path. Dampers responsive to the characteristic signal temporar-ily decouple the vacuum ports from the vacuum source upon detection of a trash piece, allowing the trash to fall away from the full width output path.   To further assist in trash removal, an air jet responsive to the characteristic signal is provided adjacent the first vacuum ports to blow trash pieces into the trash output path;  and,  a first pivotable finger downstream of the vacuum ports responds to the signal by deflecting trash into the trash output path. A second pivotable finger downstream of the first finger responds to the signal by deflecting fishtail and random width pieces into the fishtail and random width output path.

Abstract: A compressor (1) driven by motor (3) sends to a nasal mask (4) a breathable gas at a low positive relative pressure. The motor (3) is controlled in order to maintain the pressure in the delivery pipe (2) of the compressor (1) substantially equal to a set point (P c), independently of the inspiration and expiration of the patient. A computer (16) receives on an input (14) a motor speed signal (3) as a parameter representative of the respiratory activity of the patient. When the analysis of the motor speed variations reveals a hypopnoea, the computer increases the pressure set point (P c). When the analysis of the motor speed variations reveals an absence of hypopnoea during a predetermined period of time, the computer reduces the pressure set point (P c) by a predetermined amount.  Utilization in order to optimize the pressure applied to the patient while taking into account the different phases of sleep, the evolution of the disease, etc.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that allows different likelihoods of call completion during very heavy call loading conditions to be supplied to different customers.  Customers are assigned to different levels of service and these levels of service are used to manage call completion in throughout the telecommunication network during very heavy call loading periods.  Thus, a securities broker may have a higher likelihood of completing a call near the close of a trading session than the average telephone customer.  However, each caller may be offered an opportunity to immediately increase his or her level of service and thus likelihood of completing a call to the highest available level if a call is not completed at the caller's lower level of service.

Title: Process for separating methanol and methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate
Inventor: MIYAZAKI SEIJI
IPC: C07C67/54

Granted: 2006-05-23
Abstract: A distillation process is used to separate methanol from a mixture of methanol with methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, as well as from a mixture of methanol and water with methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate with the use of an azeotropic solvent, which forms an azeotropic mixture with methanol. In distilling such a mixture by the use of a distillation column: (1) part of the condensate of vapors distilled over from the top of the distillation column top is returned to the top of the column; (2) the remaining condensate is separated into two layers; (3) the upper layer essentially composed of an azeotropic solvent from the two separated layers is fed to an intermediate portion of the distillation column; (4) the lower layer essentially composed of methanol from the above two separated layers is withdrawn from the distillation system; and (5) methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, or else, methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate and water, are recovered from the bottom of the column.      Water may be added to the remaining condensate at the time of separation into two layers. The amount of water added is 0.1-10 times the weight of methanol.

Title: Method of amplification using intermediate renaturation step
Inventor: BACKUS JOHN W
IPC: C12Q1/686
Filed: 1995-06-21
Granted: 2007-05-22
Abstract: A method for amplification and detection of a low copy target nucleic acid includes coamplification of a high copy target nucleic acid. After a number of conventional amplification cycles which include a denaturation step, several cycles are carried out during which the denatured products are renatured for a brief period of time. This intermediate step in later cycles of the amplification process reduces the effective concentration of the high copy target nucleic acid available for amplification in later cycles, thereby making more DNA polymerase available for amplification of the low copy target nucleic acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to a rotary internal combustion -engine including three same type compressors with a com-mon axis. Among these compressors, two lateral compressors with passages and cooperated gas blades to control the in-take of mixture or air, the first com-presses the mixture, the third condenses the fresh air, the second intermediate compressor is used as a power unit. In operation, the compressed mixture by the first compressor enters the second compressor, and is ignited to make power, then the fresh air condensed by third compressor is supplied into second compressor to assist the secondary com-bustion. The secondary combustion im-proves the emission and output of the en-gine, the cylinderical structure makes low noise, less vibration, and easy manu-facture.

Granted: 2001-01-23
Abstract: In  order  to  achieve  a  structure  of  a high-temperature fuel cell system (1) which is of particularly simple design, and a particularly low power requirement for the compressor (70) on the air side, provision is made according to the invention that at least one high-temperature  fuel  cell  stack  (4,  14)  arranged  in  a container (2) is a partition or forms part of a partition which separates an air entry space (18), into which the air inlets of the high-temperature fuel cells open, and an air exit space (16), into which the air outlets of the high-temperature fuel cells open,  from one another in gas-tight fashion in the container (2). Preferably, at least one location in this partition is provided at which the air (22) situated in the air exit space (16) can be recirculated at least partially into the air entry space by means of the air (16) flowing into the air entry space (16). The effect achieved by this is that the compressor compresses   cold,   relatively   dense   air,   and   a recirculation of the hot air (22) in the container (2) can be carried out without the use of moving parts.        The invention is in principle applicable in the case of all high-temperature fuel cell systems.

Abstract: A process and a device are described for production of a dial by imprinting a blank with an imprint which enable cost-effective production of very high quality even with small quantities. Data entered via an input device are delivered to a data management device, which positions the dial pattern on a printing master defined by the data entered. If a pattern is not stored in memory, a new pattern is requested from a design device and delivered to the data management device, which enters the printing master into an output device. The output device generates the printing master according to drawing data and outputs it to a printer which creates a prefixed toner image on a carrier sheet. The blank to be imprinted and the carrier sheet with the toner image mirror-inverted to the imprint are introduced into a press and the blank is aligned in a predefined position and the carrier sheet is aligned in a predefined position corresponding to the position of the blank. By softening the toner image and pressing the toner image onto the blank, the toner image is transferred from the carrier sheet to the blank and forms, together with the blank, a dial provided with the imprint. Then, the carrier sheet may be removed from the transferred toner image and the dial removed from the press. The press may be designed as a flat press, a roller press, or a combination of the two.
