Title: Preform for composite material
Inventor: NAKAO YASUHIRO
IPC: D04H1/4209
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: For forming a preform of composite material, such as aluminum-based composite material (MMC) by using friction during the forming thereof, ceramic reinforcement, such as Al 2 O 3 , and silanol group binder are prepared. During the forming, e.g. in a die, polycondensation occurs due to frictional heat generated between the fibrous or grain-like particles of the reinforcement and the silanol group binder to harden it, thereby obtaining a preform in which the particles of the reinforcement are fixedly connected to one another. The preparation of preforms from alumina, polymethylsilasesquioxane and optionally Fe powder and/or hg powder is described. The preforms are impregnated with molten aluminium alloy by squeeze casting, or in a vacuum furnace.

Title: Apparatus and method for circulating fluid in a borehole
Inventor: CARMICHAEL MARK
IPC: E21B34/12
Filed: 1997-11-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method for circulating fluid in a borehole is described. The apparatus comprises a tubular assembly (1; 40; 60) which has an axial through passage (21, 18; 47; 19) between a fluid inlet (21) and first fluid outlet (19). The fluid inlet (21) and the first fluid outlet (19) are connected (13, 20) in a work string which is supported from the surface above the borehole. There is a second outlet (16; 42, 48) which extends generally tansversely of the assembly (1; 40; 60). An obturating member (9) is moveable between a first position in which the second fluid outlet (16; 42, 48) is closed an a second position which permits fluid flow through the second outlet (16; 42, 48). An engagement mechanism (12, 6, 7; 68, 69) is moveable between an engaged configuration in which the obturating member (9) is maintained in one of the first and second positions, and a disengaged configuration in which the obturating member (9) is in the other of the first and second positions. The tubular assembly (1; 40; 60) is coupled to a shoulder which is engageable with the formation in the borehole to engage or disengage the engagement mechanism (12, 6. 7; 68, 69). Setting down weight on the work string may cause a formation of the borehole to exert a force on the shoulder which may result in the second outlet (16; 42, 48) being opened.

Title: A position-identifying arrangement and method for triggering such an arrangement
Inventor: AEHLIG UWE
IPC: H03K17/97
Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: The position of a movable element, for example a locking bolt 6 which may be moved between two end positions, is determined using an oscillating circuit 11, which is damped by the presence of the element 6 in proximity to coils L1, L2 of the circuit. Power is supplied to the oscillating circuit by way of transistor Q1 under control of a microprocessor 7, the working point of the transistor being adjustable using an output 9 of the microprocessor to provide switching hysteresis. The working point of the transistor can be automatically set periodically by adjusting (e.g. increasing) the voltage applied to the transistor when the position of the element is known until the oscillation state of the oscillating circuit changes and then reducing the voltage until the oscillating state just changes back again.

Abstract: Kombucha tea is a beverage long used in China and is attributed to have a number of features that promotes good health. It is produced by a group of microorganisms using tea and sugar. During fermentation a jellylike mushroom made up of cellulose is formed on the surface of the tea. Kombucha tea mushroom can also be produced by growing the microorganisms in waste water from vegetable, fruit or dairy industry. This mushroom is used as matrix to incorporate bioactive materials in controlled release of bioactive compounds. The Mushroom is oven dried and soaked in solutions of bioactive compounds or when fresh homogenised and mixed with active ingredients. This is then made into pellets or made into sheets and dried and used in pest control or delivery of medicine.

Title: Extending the number of channels on an IEEE 1394 serial bus
Inventor: KWON MIN-JEE
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: An IEEE 1394 node includes registers for physical (CP) and extended (CE) channels which have the same format as the assigned channel (CA) register of an isochronous resource manager (IRM). The system attempts to set up a channel using a particular channel number <B>600</B>, the IRM is checked to determine whether all the assigned channels and all the available bandwidth are used. If there is a channel available it is set up normally <B>610-630</B>, if there is bandwidth but no channel the CP and CE registers are checked to see whether the physical and extended channels corresponding to the required channel number are in use <B>650/670.</B> If either is 'not in use' the appropriate bit in the CP or CE register is set to 'in use' and bits are set in the Tag Field of the packet header to indicate whether the channel is a physical or an extended channel <B>660/680.</B> If both physical and extended channels are in use an error value is returned <B>690.</B> Further extended channel registers may be used with different tag field bits to provide an increase from 64 to 256 channels and may prevent incomplete use of available bandwidth due to a shortage of channels. When cancelling channels in the IRM all corresponding physical and extended channels must be 'not in use' (see Fig. 7).

Title: Calibration of an airflow sensor
Inventor: HE CHUAN
IPC: F02D41/24
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: In an internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas recirculation system, a mass airflow (MAF) sensor is disposed at the air inlet to an engine cylinder. For engines with an EGR recirculation path, the sensor is upstream of that path. The MAF sensor provides signals to an engine control module (ECM) indicative of the mass airflow of the intake charge to the engine. A system and method for on-line self-recalibration of the MAF sensor and the MAF values includes comparing the sensed MAF value with an ideal MAF value obtained using data from sensors downstream from the MAF sensor. If a comparison of the sensed versus the actual MAF values reveals that the MAF sensor is out of calibration, a regression analysis is applied to several data pairs of the MAF sensor output magnitude and ideal MAF value to modify the relationship between MAF sensor output and sensed MAF value.

Date May 26, 1994An absorbent article, particularly a diaper, has a central absorbent unit (1) which is comprised of an elongated absorbent body (2) enclosed between a liquid-permeable inner casing sheet (3) which lies proximal to the wearer in use, and a liquid-impermeable, outer casing sheet (4) which lies distal from the wearer in use. The absorbent unit is provided along its longitudinal edges (9) with liquid-impermeable folds (6) which are upstanding from the inner casing sheet and which form side-leakage barriers. The article has a side-flap (18) on each side of the absorbent unit (1). The side-flaps (18), optionally with associated edge (21, 23), are produced in the form of rectangular strips (10) completely separated from the absorbent unit (1) and are thereafter jointed thereto. A longitudinally extending edge-part (13) of each strip (10) is suitably folded double and the backwardly fold part (19) is joined to the outer casing sheet (3a, 4b or 4) of the absorbent unit (1)along a curved fastening line (21). When the aper is to be used, the side-flaps (18) are pulled-out laterally, the length of this extension, and therewith the width of the resulting side-flaps (18), being dependent on the curved shape of the fastening line (21). It is therewith possible to produce a curved contour (16) of the diaper for conforming to the wearer's legs with side-flaps (18) which originally have straight edges (11) The material from which the side-flaps (18) are made can be chosen quite independently of the inner and the outer casing sheets (3, 4), so as to avoid irritation of the wearer's skin while still fitting closely to the wearer's legs.
