Title: Support de gant, grip glove
Inventor: GIROUX STEPHANE
IPC: A45F5/02
Filed: 1995-08-14
Abstract: << Dans un article servant au support d'un gant sportif (ex:golf,baseballe)lors d'un arrêt du jeu ou un temps mort, on saient que le gant lors de la pratique du sport en question devient détremper, humide dû à la transpiration de la main; le gant est enlevé et deposé dans la poche avant ou arrière du pantalon afin de faire respirer la main et assècher le gant et de réduire la transpiration au maximum pour améliorer le coup suivant. "La prise d'un baton est supérieur si le gant est sec ainsi que la main. Le support de gant devient essentiel pour assècher le gant dû au fait que le gant n'a pas a être refermer sur lui même et etre déposer dans un endroit sans aération "ex; poche fermée d'un pantalon" d'ou il garde son état humide,détremper. Donc le support de gant devient essentiel vu sa situation physique; le support de gant est fixé soit par la ceinture ou par une attache fixe au support si il n'y a pas de ceinture ex;jupe. Lorsque le gant est retiré dela main, le gant est fixé librement et ouvert au support situé à la taille en étant pas dans un espace fermé,mais bien aéré.

Title: Apparatus and method for isotopic ratio plasma mass spectrometry
Inventor: GRAY ALAN LYLE
IPC: H01J49/10
Filed: 1995-08-31
Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry which is particularly suitable for the determination of isotopic ratios.            In order to improve the precision of such determinations, the nozzle-skimmer type interface of the mass spectrometer is arranged so that the ratio ? x p1  is greater than 0.8 mB , where ds is the diameter of the orifice in the skimming member, s is the spacing between the sampling member and the skiming member, and p1 is the pressure in the region between the sampling and skimming members.  Although use of the invention slightly reduces the efficiency of the interface it results in more accurate isotopic ratio determinations.

Abstract: Communications systems and methods are directed to a novel communications platform which employs a TDM bus, a TDM bus controller, a passive Ethernet bus, and a centralized Ethernet hub to provide for the communication of data, voice, and/or video signals among a plurality of endpoint devices. The TDM bus controller provides aplurality of B-Channels on the TDM bus. The centralized Ethernet hub is coupled to the TDM bus controller via a control link. Each endpoint device is connected to at least one of the passive Ethernet bus and the TDM bus. The centralized Ethernet hub operates over the passive Ethernet bus to dynamically allocate one or more individual B-Channels of a single B-Channel set amongst a group of endpoint devices, such as telephoneequipment, video communications equipment processors, and/or computing devices. The centralized Ethernet hub provides a logical control channel to each endpoint device for call establishment. Each endpoint device is coupled to the logical control channel over at least one of a first path comprising the passive Ethernet bus and a second path comprising the TDM bus, the TDM bus controller, and the control link. The logical control channel executes B-channel seizure algorithms for establishment of communications to and from selected endpoint devices.

Title: Drop loop garment hanger
Inventor: ISENGA GORDON DALE
IPC: B29C70/84
Filed: 1996-01-09
Abstract: An injection molded plastic hanger including an upper hanger member and a lower hanger member having a loop segment by which to hang from the upper hanger member.  The loop segment is "closed" by the overlapping placement of two fingerlike segments extending from opposite ends of the loop.  The two segments are held together in the proper position by a thin film of plastic which is located between them.  The overlapping design of the fingerlike segments alleviates the formation of any weld lines within the loop segment which are substantially perpendicular to the tensile forces which are imposed upon the loop segment as the hanger is used as intended.

Inventor: SACHENHEIM RICHARD JOSEPH
IPC: A23F5/08
Filed: 1994-06-16
Abstract: Disclosed is the preparation of particulate coffee products with improved particle packing characteristics. Fine coffee particles having particle diameters of less than about 600 micrometers are compacted to a bulk density of from about 0.40 to about 0.70 gm/cc. The resulting coffee products have the isodensity and isobrew solid profiles as shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, where the bulk density and brew solid values for any ternary particle mixture represented on the graph increases with increased coffee fine fractions therein. The process can also be used to control or increase the bulk density of particulate coffee products thereby eliminating or reducing the need to rely upon roasting means to control bulk density. The compaction operation changes the particle morphology without rupturing the cell walls of the coffee.

IPC: B26B7/00
Filed: 1996-07-05
Abstract: A sickle knife apparatus comprises a plurality of knife guards carried on a fixed bar with each having a pair of fingers extending forwardly and defining upwardly facing ledger surfaces. A reciprocating knife bar slides across the knife guards and carries a plurality of triangular knife sections which slide over the ledger surfaces in a cutting action. Each finger has a rearwardly extending hold down arm portion connected to a nose of the finger and extending over each knife section to prevent upward movement of the knife section. The hold down arms include a plate having a bottom surface which engages a top surface of the knife sections with that plate being adjustable by a screw passing through the hold down arm into engagement with the top surface of the plate. The plate has a width sufficient to bridge the valley between the triangular knife sections so that the knife sections receive continual downward pressure from the plates as they reciprocate to maintain the proper cutting action with the ledger surfaces.
