Title: Injection molding filter
Inventor: NEUMAN CLAYTON L
IPC: B29C45/24
Filed: 1987-08-07
Granted: 1990-10-04
Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for filtering melted plastic used in an injection molding system. The apparatus consists of a housing (12) having an inlet (18) and outlet with a cylindrical inner chamber (21) disposed in alignment therebetween, and a tubular filter element (13) threadably mounted in the internal housing. To avoid loosening of the filter element (13), a plurality of spiral surfaces (34, 42) are formed in the filter element (13) that are exposed to the pressurized flow of melted plastic, generating a resultant force that tends to screw the filter element (13) tighter onto its threaded mount (22). The threaded mount (22) is at the inlet end of the tubular element (27), causing it to extend in cantilever fashion axially into the internal chamber (21) and toward the outlet. This creates an annular discharge passage around the filter element (13) that is unobstructed, permitting the filtered plastic to converge smoothly into the outlet.

Inventor: BERCOVICI SERGE
IPC: B22D11/16
Filed: 1982-01-18
Granted: 1985-08-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling and regulating operational parameters of a machine for continuously casting bands between cylinders, allowing adhesion to be avoided. This method comprises considering as parameters the torque exerted on one or other of the cylinders for moving the band on and comprises permanently comparing the frequency of the variations in the torque measurement with a reference frequency. When the variation frequency is greater than the reference frequency, the casting speed of the machine is reduced and/or the lubricant flow rate is increased until the variation frequency is again lower than the reference frequency. The speed of the casting machine is then increased as long as the variation frequency remains below the reference frequency.

Title: Handling and sorting system
Inventor: REX MICHAEL PAUL
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 1982-08-25
Granted: 1986-08-21
Abstract: Mechanised mail sorting offices require packets to be sorted according to destination into one of many bags. A typical mechanised system includes a loading mechanism for transferring packets from stationary input pockets onto a continuously moving sequence of containers which pass all destinations in turn and unload as required. The system according to the invention consists of a number of separate self powered single trolleys (TL) which run on a tracking network. Each trolley (TL) is adapted to be programmed with the route to be taken to the destination of the packet(s) loaded into it. The trolley (TL) co-operates with en-route track-side signposts (TSB) enabling steering means (SM) in the form of a guide arm at the front of the trolley (TL) to guide the trolley around the tracking network to and from its required destination for unloading its package into a bag. Programming is done by operators at induction stations (ISA, ISB, ISC and ISD) at sidings in the tracking network while the trolleys are stationary.

Title: Modulation of drug loading in multivesicular liposomes
Inventor: YE QIANG
IPC: A61P9/00
Filed: 1998-09-08
Granted: 2001-12-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making liposomes, for example multivesicular liposomes (MVLs), containing one or more biologically active agents, wherein the loading of the active agents into the liposomes is modulated by adjusting the osmolarity of the aqueous component into which the agents are dissolved prior to encapsulation. To increase the loading of the active agent, the osmolarity of the aqueous component is reduced, and to decrease the loading of the active agent, the osmolarity of the aqueous component is increased. In the making of MVLs, the process involves dissolving the active agent and an optional osmotic excipient in a first aqueous component encapsulated within the liposomes. For any given concentration of drug, the osmolarity of the first aqueous component can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the concentration or molecular weight of the osmotic excipients used therein. The rate of release of the active agent into the surrounding environment in which the liposomes are introduced can be simultaneously controlled by incorporating into the lipid component used in the formulation at least one long chain amphipathic lipid. For example, the amphipathic lipid can have from about 13 to about 28 carbons in its carbon chain. Use of the long chain amphipathic lipid in the lipid component is particularly helpful in controlling the release rate and encapsulation efficiency for high drug load formulations.

Filed: 1994-02-17
Granted: 2001-12-25
Abstract: PURPOSE:To make the size of the entire vibration generator small and to make the weight light by forming a mount hole to which a motor shaft is inserted to an eccentric position and selecting a thickness of the mount hole in the axial line direction so as to be thicker gradually from the axial line toward its gravity center. CONSTITUTION:A mount hole 11 to which motor shaft is inserted is formed to an eccentric position of a vibrator 10. Then the thickness of the mount hole 11 in the axial line C is selected continuously from the axial line C toward the gravity center of the vibrator 10 in a concaved circular arc. The gravity center is offset remarkably toward an outer circumference in the vibrator 10 as above. Since the distance between the gravity center and the axial line C is much increased, a large vibration is obtained when the vibrator 10 is rotated. As a result, the entire vibrator is made light in its weight.

Granted: 1997-06-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the sheet run in the region of lay marks in sheet offset printing machines. To ensure that the sheet at the lay marks has as much stabilisation time as possible for self-alignment, it is proposed according to the invention to select the sampling point for sheet scanning at the lay marks in dependence on the condition of the machine (pressure on, pressure off). In both the pressure-on position and the pressure-off position, the sampling point (angular value of a constant speed shaft) is set sufficiently late for the elements which release or lock the sheet run and switch the printing mechanism cylinders on and off to be still actuable. Switching between these sampling points occurs automatically.

Abstract: Known systems based on pyramidal video-coding and video-decoding code and decode with insufficient efficiency. By feeding back, in each layer of the coding system, the data processing means present in the layer via memory means, only so-called difference pictures are coded, which increases the efficiency considerably. The decoding system should then similarly be provided with fed-back memory means and, as a result, normally attains a very complex scope, which is avoided, however, if in the coding system coupling between two adjacent layers takes place in the highest layer thereof with two different points of the feedback loop. <IMAGE>
