Patent EP-0717060-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BURKETT EUGENE J
IPC: C08G63/189
Filed: 1995-12-13
Abstract: This invention is a process for producing polyester copolymers, which employs an acid-based and an ester-based process. The ester-based process is used to manufacture a low molecular weight naphthalate-based polymer, and the acid-based process is used to manufacture phthalate-based oligomers. The low molecular weight naphthalate-based polymer is combined with the phthalate-based oligomers, or the raw materials used to form the phthalate-based oligomers, to form a random polyester copolymer. Specifically, the process may be used to manufacture, in an ester-based process, a low molecular weight polyethylene naphthalate polymer, which is then combined with polyethylene terephthalate oligomers produced in an acid-based process, and the acid-based process is then used to continue the polymerization reaction which results in the production of a random polyethylene terephthalate/naphthalate copolymer.

Abstract: An engine fuel system includes an accumulator chamber (10) in which fuel is stored at high pressure and a three way valve (12) having two settings in the first of which when a valve actuator (25) is energised fuel flows from the accumulator chamber (20) to a fuel injection nozzle (15) and in the second of which when the actuator is de-energised fuel flows from the supply line of the nozzle to a drain (20). The valve (12) includes a valve member (24) directly coupled to the actuator and controlling the flow of fuel from the accumulator chamber to the nozzle (15), and a valve element (27) which is resiliently coupled to the valve member (24) and controls the flow of fuel from the line to the drain (20). The valve member and valve element cooperate with respective seatings (23, 26) and when the actuator is de-energised the valve element can move away from its seating (26) against the action of the resilient coupling to allow a rapid reduction of fuel pressure in the line.

Abstract: Digital video transmission rate matching techniques are disclosed. A bit 
stream rate matching apparatus includes a bit rate increasing device and a bit rate 
reducing device (107). The bit rate increasing device converts a video bit stream 
having a first transmission rate to a video bit stream having a second transmission 
rate characterized in that the first transmission rate is less than the second 
transmission rate. The bit rate reducing device (107) converts a video bit stream 
(101) having the second transmission rate to a video bit stream having the first 
transmission rate. The bit stream rate matching apparatus is useful in the context of 
a multimedia conference where a first endpoint device employs the first transmission 
rate and a second endpoint device employs the second transmission rate.

Abstract: A branch device for use in an optical multiplex system allows three stations to be interconnected by a relatively small number of optical fibers. The branch device has WDM couplers each having a port A connected to a port C through a through path and to a port D through a cross path, and a port B connected to the port C through a cross path and to the port D through a through path. A signal light having a wavelength λ AB  in a through-path wavelength band, inputted from a cable end A, is transmitted through a through path in one of the WDM couplers to a cable end B. A signal light having a wavelength λ AC  in a cross-path wavelength band, inputted from the cable end A, is transmitted through a cross path in the WDM coupler to the B port thereof, and then transmitted through a cross path in another WDM coupler to a cable end C. Similarly, signal lights inputted from the other cable ends B, C are divided and transmitted through paths depending on their wavelengths. Stations can be connected to the branch device by transmission cables each comprising a single pair of optical fibers for bidirectional transmission of signal lights between the stations through the branch device. A repeater on each of the transmission cables may be of a single-system configuration for upstream and downstream transmission.

Abstract: A method of refining and manufacturing a fat and oil containing polyunsaturated fatty acids which prevents production of peculiar fishy smells when such a fat and oil is added to food materials and while it is stored by preventing oxidation of PUFA's and restraining conversion of odor-emanating precursors into odor-emanating substances. A fat and oil, such as a marine animal oil, containing polyunsaturated fatty acids with 18 or more carbon atoms and three or more double bonds such as EPA and DHA is alkali refined and bleached. The thus alkali refined and bleached fat and oil is refined by bringing 100 parts by weight of it into contact for 10 minutes or more at 5-80°C with not less than 0.1 part by weight of powdered or granulated diatomaceous earth formed by calcining with a flux added such as sodium carbonate or sodium chloride. The fat and oil thus obtained is filtered and deodorized by steam distillation under vacuum.

Abstract: In order to simplify a photographing operation when providing a texture original. image, and to remove a useless operation when extracting a necessary region from the texture original image, the necessary region is assigned in an original image, serving as a base for a texture, using characteristic points of a portion onto which the texture is to be mapped, and a quadrangle having a minimum area is extracted from among quadrangles enclosing the assigned region. An image enclosed by the extracted quadrangle is transformed into a rectangular image having a desired size, and the assigned region is transformed into a region in the rectangular image. The obtained rectangular image and data of the characteristic points for assigning the region are output as texture data. In order to automatically correlate the positions of points assigned in a polygon image with the positions of points assigned in the texture original image including a necessary texture image, respective vertices of the polygons of the displayed polygon image and corresponding points in the displayed texture original image are assigned. Thus, the texture image including the corresponding points is obtained, and position information of the corresponding points in the texture image is provided for the respective vertices assigned in the polygon image.

Formation of a distinctive visual pattern in the control zone indicates that the test was competently performed while formation or relative intensity of the visual pattern in the test zone indicates presence or absence of analyte in the test sample. The devices of the invention are particularly suited for assaying ligands in whole blood without prior separation of erythrocytes and other cells from the blood and without need to measure reflectance in the liquid phase. A method for performing the inventive assays is also disclosed.

The proximal end of the lead is connected to a pressure sensor, mounted either in the pacemaker header portion or within the hermetically sealed pacemaker can. The sensor signals are coupled to appropriate processing circuitry and are used for control of one or more pacing parameters, such as pacing rate. In a first embodiment, the pressure sensor is mounted within the pacemaker header portion, and the electrical sensor signals are connected through an electrical feed-through to the interior of the pacemaker can. In a second embodiment, the sensor signals are passed through a capillary feed-through from the proximal end of the lead which is secured in the header portion, to the interior of the pacemaker can where the pressure sensor is mounted; the capillary feed-through may also conduct sensed heart signals from the proximal end of the lead to within the pacemaker.

Abstract: A charging control system for use with a battery
charger for charging a battery array which is constituted
by battery cells includes charging control units
corresponding individually to the battery cells. Each unit
includes a voltage-regulator circuit for generating a
reference voltage corresponding to the fully charged
voltage of the battery cell and a comparator for comparing
the inter-electrode voltage of the battery cell with the
reference voltage. When the inter-electrode voltage has
reached the fully charged voltage, the comparator
cooperates with an amplifier to turn ON a field-effect
transistor of a bypass circuit of the unit, to thereby
divert the charging current from to the battery cell to the
bypass circuit. The amplifier receives a feedback voltage
indicating the bypass current and operates to keep the
bypass current constant, thereby preventing overcharging of
the battery cell.
