Title: Conductive cutaneous coating for applying electric currents for therapeutic or beauty treatment
IPC: A61N1/04
Filed: 1990-02-14
Granted: 1993-07-01
Abstract: The conductive film, in this case in the form of a mask (1), is used for the application of pulsed electric currents, delivered by the generator (9) and applied via conductive plates (4a, 4b) at the ends of an elastic hoop (3), to the facial skin. The mask (1) is formed by application of a polymerisable gel consisting typically, by weight, of 20% of polyvinyl alcohol (Rhodoviol TM  30/70), 10% of ethanol, 2% of water-soluble lanolin and 1% of glycerol. The gel remains conductive until polymerisation is complete, in the space of approximately half an hour, which corresponds to the normal treatment period. When polymerised, the mask (1) is insulating and flexible, and is removed in one piece.

Title: Plastic pipe connector
Inventor: THALMANN ALFRED
IPC: F16L47/02
Filed: 1981-03-31
Granted: 1985-04-18
Abstract: A welding sleeve useable for connecting of pipes formed from thermoplastic material, is formed from a tubular body of thermoplastic material and a coil disposed on its inside surface. The coil has a resistance wire encased with thermoplastic material. The windings of the coil (4) are bonded into a compact coil which is inserted into the heated tubular body while it is simultaneously widened. As the result of a partial contraction of the tubular body also of the coil a firm connection develops between the oil and the body. Furthermore, the tubular body has a frozen-in, latent, radial contraction strain as a result of the widening, which during heating during the welding process, eliminates the radial play between coil and the pipes and produces a welding pressure.

Title: Optical analysis method and apparatus having programmable rapid random wavelength access
Inventor: KEMENY GABOR J
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 1987-04-28
Granted: 1990-06-21
Abstract: The optical reflectance or transmittance concentration analyzer includes an acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) with a pair of crossed polarizers (3, 5) to select one of the tuned monochromatic light beams that pass from a light source (1) through the AOTF. The AOTF is tuned by a computer controlled digital-to-analog converter (12) through a tunable sweep oscillator (11). To obtain rapid wavelength change along with electronic chopping or wavelength modulation, the digital-to-analog converter output is added to the output of a high speed signal generator (18). The modulated light is conducted directly or through a fiber optic cable to the location of the optical measurement and impinges upon the sample where it is reflected or transmitted. The emerging light is collected onto detector(s) (10). The measurement time interval can be distributed among the required wavelengths or wavelength pairs according to an unequal scheme to decrease the error of the result in a calibration equation. The apparatus is particularly adaptable for use as an on-line concentration monitor in industrial process control because of tis stability, efficiency and ability to perform quick analyses.

Title: Multi-beam satellite communications system
Inventor: SHARON THOMAS E
IPC: H04B7/19
Filed: 2000-09-21
Granted: 2004-07-29
Abstract: A satellite communications system having ground user terminals, hubs, and a geosynchronous satellite. The satellite generates a network of spot beam coverage areas on the earth. A hub and at least one ground terminal are located in each of at least two spot beams. A first user terminal transmits an uplink signal according to a first signal protocol to the hub through the satellite. A second user terminal receives a downlink signal according to a second signal protocol through the downlink spot beam from the hub through the satellite. The hub may be located in the same spot beam coverage area as the first or the second user terminal or may be located in an altogether different spot beam coverage area. Through selective frequency and/or polarization routing on board the satellite, a hub located within a "parent" beam can communicate with user terminals within the parent beam at a specified frequency and polarization, and can communicate with users in other "dependent" beams on a different frequency and/or polarization. This routing allocates the total available bandwidth between parent and dependent beams. The system enables asynchronous communications between each hub and the satellite to maximize frequency re-use and the overall capacity of the system.

Title: Hydrodynamic retarder for car - with shunting line operated electromagnetically to increase brake lifting speed
IPC: B60T1/087
Filed: 1970-01-16
Abstract: The vehicle is fitted with a hydrodynamic retarder on the transmission to act in conjunction with the brake pedal and reinforce the normal brakes. The long resistance path of the heat exchanger and the retarder itself results in a delay time when the braking effect is lifted. This can cause instability on poor road conditions. The invention provides a shunting line across the heat exchanger inputs, operated by an electro-magnetic valve, to open when the brake pedal is lifted. The valve is in series with a time delay control which keeps the valve open for a set interval, long enough to reduce the hydrodynamic pressure. Any residual heat in the hydraulic fluid is rapidly dispelled during the next braking sequence.
