Abstract: A method and apparatus for installing a pipe casing underground without a trench for distances up to 400 feet with pipe casing up to 168 inches in diameter. The system uses a modified high energy piling hammer to mobilize the energy to drive the casings or tubings that make up the instant tunnel. An example of a piling hammer used in the present invention is the IHC Hydrohammer line of models in between the S-90 and S-280. Specific models planned to be used in this invention, depending on diameter and length requirements and type of soil in the planned alignment, are the Models S-90, S-150, S-280, S-400 and S-500. The present invention's Hydrohammers are needed to be held against the casing pipe to be driven with a force equal to the reactional force of the hammer during recharging of the hammer's system. A special helmet and cutting head increase operational capabilities.

Abstract: A backflushable filtering apparatus for a molten material, particularly for a plastic melt, comprises a housing ( 1 ) in which a sieving arrangement ( 17 ) is provided which includes at least two sieving sections ( 16 ) separated from one another. The melt to be filtered is supplied to the sieving sections ( 16 ) through at least one distributor ( 3 ). The distributor ( 3 ) includes at least one control body ( 9 ) for backflushing which is moveable within a housing ( 53 ) that is provided with an inlet opening ( 4 ) for the material to be filtered. The control body ( 9 ), in a filtering position, unblocks the influx of material to be filtered to all sieving sections ( 16 ) through connection channels ( 23 ). However, in a backflushing position, the control body ( 9 ) interrupts the influx of material to the filtering section ( 16 ) to be backflushed and interconnects the connection channel ( 23 ) of the sieving section ( 16 ) flushed back with a discharge channel ( 28 ) located in the control body ( 9 ). At least the majority of the circumference of the control body ( 9 ) is surrounded by a distribution space ( 7 ) for the material to be filtered which is situated within its housing ( 53 ). The distribution space ( 7 ) is connectable through the connection channels ( 23 ) to all sieving sections ( 16 ) in communication with the distributor ( 3 ). Guiding channels ( 6 ) lead from the inlet opening ( 4 ) to the regions of the two front ends ( 61, 62 ) of the distribution space ( 7 ). These front ends ( 61, 62 ) are situated in the region of the outermost connection channels ( 23 ) or outside the region of all connection channels ( 23 ). The discharge channel ( 28 ), which leads away from the control body ( 9 ), may be caused to communicate with the connection channel ( 23 ) of the respective sieving section ( 16 ) to be flushed back through a flush back channel ( 27 ) of at least one cross-piece ( 14 ) of the control body ( 9 ) which overbridges the distribution space ( 7 ).

Abstract: An airbag deployment sensor stores a quantity of tape which is drawn out of a cartridge during airbag deployment by one end of the tape which is attached to the inside surface of an airbag. To facilitate assembly of an airbag system, the cartridge is designed with a key for locking the tape against premature extraction from the cartridge during the assembly process. The cartridge is used in combination with a mounting bracket which assures that the tape is free to be extracted from the cartridge once the cartridge is mounted to the bracket because, either the cartridge cannot be mounted to the bracket with the key in place, or the mounting bracket causes the key to move to a non-locking position.

Abstract: A tilting tree, spinning cones process is employed to map n-dimensional array data originally in markup language, to an n-dimension table suitable for use by COBOL application programs. Mapping is performed without scanning the result array for an empty slot. This allows the result array slots to be pre-loaded with state data. During mapping, the hierarchical nature of the markup language n-dimensional data is represented in two-dimensions using an inverted tree structure having cones for each array level. The tree is tilted to bring a member of a given level into contact with one of the axes of the tree graph, followed by spinning appropriate cones to bring a certain member of that level into contact with the same axis. This results in the ability to use a one-dimensional mapping array. The dimension offset on the mapping axis can then be used as an index value into the mapped array output for storage or retrieval of element data.

Abstract: A reflective liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display comprises a transparent substrate, a reflective substrate, and liquid crystal fluid between the substrates. The LCOS display further comprises a matrix of pixels, arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, wherein an intersection of a row and a column defines a position of a pixel in the matrix. The LCOS display has tilt angles sufficient to overcome disclinations due to fringe fields, and, at the same time, achieves high contrast. The surface azimuthal direction of the molecules of the liquid crystal fluid is either substantially parallel or perpendicular to the direction of polarization of incoming incident linearly polarized light. Light leakage is minimal because the effective birefringence as seen by the incoming incident linearly polarized light is substantially zero and does not depend on the pretilt of the molecules of the liquid crystal fluid. Between the transparent substrate and the reflective substrate, the twist of the molecules of the liquid crystal fluid may vary from about 0 degrees to about 90 degrees when in the “OFF” state.
