Title: Vinyl chloride polymerization process and product
Inventor: FITZPATRICK STEPHEN T
IPC: C08F2/18
Filed: 1984-06-22
Granted: 1987-05-07
Abstract: @ A polyvinyl chloride having high bulk density and enhanced plasticizer absorption is produced by suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer and comonomers wherein the initial suspension of ingredients is formed such that the oil phase droplets formed in the suspension are compositionally equivalent with respect to initiator, and the level of suspending agent and agitation are chosen to substantially preclude agglomeration of resin particles throughout the reaction, thereby producing resin wherein the resin grain size distribution results directly from the oil phase droplet distribution created at the start of the reaction. Seed particles of resin are introduced to the reaction mixture priorto establishing the final particle distribution. The seed particles can be formed by polymerizing a monomer such as vinyl chloride and mixtures of vinyl chloride and copolymerizable monomers in the presence of a polymeric dispersing agent, and optionally a low boiling solvent which is a nonsolvent for the resin being produced. The result of the process of the invention is a polyvinyl chloride polymer or copolymer that has high bulk density and enhanced plasticizer absorption. A further benefit of the process is that resin deposition on the interior surfaces of the reactor is essentially eliminated.

Filed: 1993-03-08
Granted: 1995-05-25
Abstract: A coffee oil, intended to be brought into contact either with a frost consisting of carbon dioxide, water and coffee flavours, or with the residual aqueous phase laden with flavours which is obtained after sublimation of the carbon dioxide present in the frost, is filtered beforehand, the temperature of the oil being less than 30 DEG C during the filtration operation.

Title: Toggle bolt device
Inventor: KAYE GORDON E
IPC: F16B13/08
Filed: 2000-01-31
Granted: 2002-09-12
Abstract: An improved fixed positionable toggle bolt device for fastening objects to a substrate comprising a metal anchor member having a nut portion and a selectively frangible positioning and holding assembly engaged with the metal member. The assembly comprises two elongated control legs, with the first ends of the control legs being pivotally attached to the metal member. The second ends of the control legs are movably attached to each other by an elongated undercut element interference, with movement of one leg relative to the other, effected by finger tip sliding, causing the metal anchor member to pivot from substantially in line with an insertion aperture in the substrate, to a position parallel to the substrate when the second ends of the control legs are aligned with each other. A positioning collar is engaged with both legs, holding them in place and is movable along the respective lengths of the legs. The legs are arcuate in cross section with a series of axially extending closely spaced rib-like teeth within the arcuate concavity. The collar is adapted to conform to the arcuate concavity together with a step tooth section to provide a one way ratchet with the legs. Once the metal member is positioned behind the substrate and abutted thereto the collar is ratcheted to a snug fit with the substrate and the legs are broken off to thereby fix the anchor in place.

Abstract: A movable door incorporates a proximity detection system for sensing obstructions in the path of the door. The system comprises an array of transmitter/receiver pairs (21, 22 and 23), each pair comprising a transmitter (1) for transmitting an energy pulse, a receiver (2) located adjacent the transmitter and directed to receive any reflected transmitter pulses, and a shielding (3) for shielding the receiver (2) from receiving energy pulses directly from the transmitter (1). At least two transmitter/receiver pairs (21, 23) are mounted on a leading edge or face of the door (12) to transmit energy pulses in a direction which is not at right angles to the leading surface or edge of the door, to monitor for obstructions in the path of the door (12). Another two transmitter/receiver pairs (26 and 28) are mounted on the leading edge or surface of the door (12) to transmit energy pulses at right angles to the surface or edge of the door (12). One of the latter two receiver pairs (26) has a different response to the other pair (27) so that when the door (12) approaches a stationary object the one pair (26) detects the object ahead of the other pair (27). Means are provided to respond to the output of the one pair (26) indicating the detection of an object to inhibit the output of the other pair (27). Different transmitter/receiver pairs may transmit on different frequencies, and means for suppressing unwanted reflected signals is provided. Means for transmitting data signals on a two conductor power supply cable for the system is also disclosed.

Title: Compliant high temperature seals for dissimilar materials
Inventor: RYNDERS STEVEN WALTON
IPC: C04B37/02
Filed: 2000-07-07
Granted: 2001-12-13
Abstract: A high temperature, gas-tight seal is formed by utilizing one or more compliant metallic toroidal ring sealing elements, where the applied pressure serves to activate the seal, thus improving the quality of the seal. The compliant nature of the sealing element compensates for differences in thermal expansion between the materials to be sealed, and is particularly useful in sealing a metallic member and a ceramic tube art elevated temperatures. The performance of the seal may be improved by coating the sealing element with a soft or flowable coating such as silver or gold and/or by backing the sealing element with a bed of fine powder. The material of the sealing element is chosen such that the element responds to stress elastically, even at elevated temperatures, permitting the seal to operate through multiple thermal cycles.  <IMAGE>

In one embodiment, a volume of a liquid sample is placed into a capillary tube (50) and the open end of the tube is then placed overthe indicating electrode (24) immersed in the solution (38). The electrical potential between the indicating electrode (24) and the spaced reference electrode (30) in the electrolyte solution (38) provides a measurement of the pH value of the liquid (50) when compared to the calibration potential previously measured without the liquid sample contacting the indicating electrode (24).
