Title: Reinicialização de ativação para transceptor
Inventor: YONES DALE LEE
IPC: G01L17/00
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: "REINICIALIZAçãO DE ATIVAçãO PARA TRANSCEPTOR". Trata-se de uma reinicialização de ativação para um transceptor (102, 200, 400) capaz de medir um ou mais parâmetros (por exemplo, temperatura, pressão) em um objeto (por exemplo, um pneu 104) e transmitir um fluxo de dados (Figuras 3C, 4B) para uma leitora interrogador externo (106). O transceptor tipicamente opera em um modo passivo, derivando sua força (Vxx, Vcc, Vdd) a partir de um sinal de interrogação RF recebido por um sistema de antena (210, 410), mas também pode operar em uma modo ativo energizado por bateria. O transceptor inclui a memória (238, 438) para armazenar medidas, dados de calibragem, parâmetros de compensação programáveis (436b), ID do transceptor e semelhantes. Um circuito de reinicialização de ativação (600) impede a operação do transceptor até que ele esteja estável e começa a transmissão do fluxo de dados em um primeiro bit do fluxo de dados, de modo a garantir uma transmissão de primeira passagem de um fluxo de dados completo. Ele também impede a modulação do sistema de antena para a transmissão do fluxo de dados se os níveis de força forem muito baixos para a operação estável do transceptor durante a modulação.
Patent BR-9917526-A (BR)
Inventor: KHATRI GHAN SHYAM
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 1999-10-19
Abstract: A portion of the lysostaphin gene of Staphylococcus simulans has been cloned and overexpressed in the cytoplasm of E. coli to yield lysostaphin, in the absence of preprolysostaphin and prolysostaphin, under the transcriptional control of an IPTG-inducible promoter and a ribosome binding site. IPTG induction of the transformed host cells produces intracellular, soluble, mature lysostaphin (27 kDa), in the complete absence of preprolysostaphin and prolysostaphin. The mature lysostaphin so formed dose not require post-translational modification. The mature lysostaphin so formed can be used treat and prevent staphylococcal infections.

Title: Thermoplastic polymer film with heat-sealable coating
Inventor: TIMOTHY ALAN REMMINGTON
IPC: C08J7/052
Filed: 1968-08-02
Abstract: Thermoplastic polymer film with a heat-sealable coating is produced by (a) treating uncoated film to improve its bonding properties, (b) coating the treated surface witha  resin formed by condensing a monoaldehyde with (meth) acrylamide in the presence of a C1-6 alkanol, and then polymerising the condensation pdt. with aother unsatd. monomer, (c) further coating the resin layer with a heat-sealable material, and (d) heating the material in order to cure the resin, so that the cured resin bonds together the heat-sealable coating and the film. - Unlike the resin of NE 6704152, the present coating resin does not contain excess aldehyde, which gives an undesirable odour to the film with the heat-sealable coating. The resin layer gives firm bonding between the heat sealable layer and the base film, which is pref. a polyolefin film.

Title: Air buffer for hand tool
Inventor: CHOU HWEI-RUNG
IPC: B25G1/01
Filed: 2000-04-25
Abstract: The device is positioned to react between opposed handles of a hand tool to absorb the impact from the handles as they come together. The buffer comprises a collapsable hollow tube (1) and a plug (2). The hollow tube includes a spigot (12) formed at one end having an internal thread (121) which engages the external thread of the plug (2). The plug (2) includes an axial air hole (21) which communicates via a valve (22) with the inside of the hollow tube (1). When the buffer is subjected to an impact, the valve (22) closes, however, it allows the air to bleed slowly from the hollow tube (1) creating a damping effect. As the force is removed the hollow tube (1) is restored elastically and the air passes through the valve (22) into the hollow tube (1).

Patent GB-2351376-A (GB)
Title: Signing of transactions
Inventor: DORRANCE DANIEL M
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: In converting data between different protocols in which fields may take on a credit/debit indication, two attributes are employed, one associated with account type and the other associated with transaction type, which are interpreted to insure proper signage. For financial protocols such as OFX and Gold, an abstract account type is assigned to accounts as appropriate and employed, together with the existing transaction type, to determine how sign values (positive vs. negative) for a data element in a particular transaction should be altered, if at all, to be consistent between the two financial protocols. The method of determining signage should permit recreation of the original sign if necessary for error analysis. In one embodiment, an abstract account type/transaction type logic table 220 for the method of determining appropriate sign values may permit only reversal or preservation of a current sign value during conversion between protocols. The invention may be extended to conversion between any two protocols which convey values which may be either positive or negative by specifying parameters determining proper signage and defining a rigorous model of sign manipulation.

Title: Plain bearing
Inventor: YAMADA TATSUO
IPC: F16C17/02
Filed: 2001-01-10
Abstract: In order to provide a plain bearing with enhanced anti-seizure property, a bearing metal layer 2 is provided with a plurality of recesses a,b. these recesses are produced by etching, are different in depth and form an uneven texture on the surface of the bearing metal layer. A soft overlay layer 4 fills recesses a,b. At the beginning of use overlay layer 4 develops conformability. When the wear proceeds to wear level I the intermediate layer 3 and the bearing metal layer 2 are exposed in the regions of the protrusions c, this causes a striped pattern to appear on the bearing surface. Furthermore, when the wear proceeds to wear level II the shallow recesses b disappear while the deep recesses a remain so that the anti-seizure property is maintained.

Title: Use of ozone to enhance the wet strength of fibrous cellulosic material
Inventor: JASCHINSKI THOMAS
IPC: D21C9/153
Filed: 2001-11-30
Abstract: The wet strength of a fibrous cellulosic material is enhanced by the use of a treatment sequence which comprises ozonation of a fibrous cellulosic material under acidic conditions followed by an acidic wash of the ozonated material. The ozone treatment is preferably preceded by a further acidic wash. A second ozonation step may follow the acidic wash. Preferably after the last ozonation step the acidic conditions are maintained, and preferably at no point in time is an alkaline wash used. It is preferred that the entire sequence is carried out under acidic conditions. The fibrous cellulosic material may be selected from the group which includes sulfite pulps, bisulfite pulps, Kraft pulps or cotton linters. Other fibres are also disclosed. The initial kappa value of the selected cellulosic fibrous material is preferably less than 50, and the final kappa value is preferably less than 15. A process for the treatment of a fibrous cellulosic material, and a material obtained by such a process are also disclosed. The use of ozone avoids the use of non-process elements, e.g. MgO, which are frequently used in oxidation treatments of pulps.

Title: Display device having diverging display surfaces
Inventor: EADE MATT
IPC: G02B27/22
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: A display device comprises two surfaces 14, 16 facing one another and diverging from one another, wherein optically distorted images 20, 22 are displayed on the surfaces 14, 16. When the line or projected line of convergence of the surfaces 14, 16 is substantially perpendicular to a viewing plane containing the user's eyes, the user sees the illusion of a single image on looking between the two surfaces 14, 16 in a direction such that they converge away from the user's eyes. A red dot 40 may be printed in the centre of the upper strip 30 on which the user's eye should focus on. The surfaces 14, 16 may be in the form of liquid crystal displays (LCD) and form a three-dimensional (3D) image. The display device may also be capable of being folded flat. The optically distorted images 20, 22 may be generated from a stereo pair of undistorted images. The display device may also be cinema sized, and is viewed using a blinkering device which only allows the presentation of one of the distorted images to each of the user's eyes.
