Title: Systems and methods for passive pressure-compensation for acoustic transducers
Inventor: POZZO WILLIAM M
IPC: H04R1/28
Filed: 2000-03-10
Granted: 2003-08-28
Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention can equalize the pressure between an interior cavity and an environment exterior to the interior cavity, while providing for acoustic isolation between the two environments so that acoustic energy propagating through one environment does not cause acoustic vibrations in the other environment. In one application, these pressure compensation systems are employed to equalize the pressure on either side of a moving coil projector, thereby reducing the deleterious effect that a pressure differential across the moving coil projector can have on the operation of the moving coil projector and reducing the likelihood that propagating acoustic energy can result in phase cancellation that reduces the acoustic performance of the moving coil projector.

Title: Control process for twin-roll continuous casting
Inventor: FELLUS GILLES
IPC: B22D11/20
Filed: 1995-12-28
Granted: 1998-02-12
Abstract: A method is claimed for the regulation of continuous casting between rolls. During casting the separation force (RSF) of the rolls is measured and the position of the bearings of at least one of the rolls is acted on in order to increase or diminish the inter-axial distance between the rolls. In order to maintain this separation force essentially constant a table of force values ( DELTA RSF) is predefined, framing a desired nominal force (RSFo) and position of the bearings are acted on more sharply when the measured force is outside the table of values than when it is within the extreme values in the table.

Title: Stacker-reclaimer
Inventor: EVANS DAVID ARTHUR
IPC: B65G65/20
Filed: 1985-04-10
Granted: 1988-09-22
Abstract: A stacker-reclaimer has a luffing and slewing mounting (2, 4) supporting a boom structure with a main, forwardly extending boom (14) having material-conveying means running along it, and a rearwardly extending tail boom (22) with a counterbalance weight (34) depending from its rear end. The tail boom is at a higher level than the main boom to provide clearance of a feeder conveyor (26) to the material-conveying means. The counterbalance weight is attached by a pivot (30) on the tail boom and is displaceable about the pivot by a control cable (36) attached to a non-luffing part (40) of the luffing and slewing mounting forwards of the luffing axis (6) whereby the weight is displaced forwards in relation to the pivot in upward luffing movements of the boom structure. This compensates for the rearward displacement of the rear end of the tail boom in such movements, and reduces the maximum overturning moment to be resisted in the working luffing range.

Title: Embedding and encapsulation of controlled release particles
Inventor: LENGERICH BERNHARD H VAN
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 1997-10-27
Granted: 2002-02-14
Abstract: Controlled release, discrete, solid particles which contain an encapsulated and/or embedded component such as a heat sensitive destruction or readily oxidizable pharnaceutically, biologically, or nutritionally active component are continuously produced without substantial destruction of the matrix or encapsulant. A release-rate controlling component is incorporated into the matrix to control the rate of release the encapsulant from the particles. the additional component may be a hydrophobic component or a high water binding capacity component for extending the release time. The plasticizable matrix material, such as starch, is admixed with at least one plasticizer, such as water, and at least one release-rate controlling component under low shear mixing conditions to plasticize the plasticizable material without substantially destroying the at least one plasticizable material and to obtain a substantially homogeneous plasticized mass. The plasticizer content is substantially reduced and the temperature of the plasticized mass is substantially reduced prior to admixing the plasticized mass with the encapsulant to avoid substantial destruction of the encapsulant and to obtain a formable, extrudable mixture. The mixture is extruded though a die without substantial or essentially no expansion and cut into discrete, relatively dense particles. Release properties may also be controlled by precoating the encapsulant and/or coating the extruded particles with a film-forming component.

Title: Spray
Inventor: GILAD YIGAL
IPC: B05B3/00
Filed: 1979-10-17
Granted: 1983-04-28
Abstract: A spray or atomizing nozzle for any agricultural, industrial or other purpose, comprises a vortex chamber (8), an outward-flaring outlet orifice (12) and a movable spray-control body (14). The spray-control body, in the non-operative state of the nozzle, rests on the flaring rim of the outlet orifice, while in the operative state the spray-control body, being impacted by the liquid issuing from the outlet orifice, is slightly lifted off the flaring rim of the outlet orifice, facilitates deflection of the impacting liquid outwards and produces a droplet spraying effect. Due to the negative-pressure zone created in the vortex chamber, the spray control body is maintained floating in a position of equilibrium at a close distance from the orifice rim, whereby the droplet-size spectrum of the spray is controlled.

Title: Plastic closure and method of manufacture
Inventor: SCHELLENBACH FRANK
IPC: B29C45/16
Filed: 1990-04-11
Granted: 1992-08-06
Abstract: An injection core for two-component injection moulding, in particular of plastic stoppers for bottles and similar containers, solves the problem caused by the fact that injection cores in a single piece can only be moved with difficulty, if at all, a predetermined distance away from the first injected body, because of the design of the latter, in order to create a gap for injecting the second body. The injection core is composed of a first (1) and of a second (2) partial cores. The first partial core can be moved a predetermined distance (A, A') away from the first injected body after injecting the first substance, and the second substance can then be injected in the gap thus obtained in order to form the second injected body.
