Title: Valve gated stack injection molding apparatus
Inventor: GELLERT JOBST ULRICH
IPC: B29C45/32
Filed: 1994-11-30
Granted: 2004-10-26
Abstract: Valve gated stack injection molding apparatus with an upstream heated nozzle seated in a fixed mold platen and a downstream heated nozzle seated in a movable mold platen. The melt flows through a melt passage across a parting line from an upstream gate to an aligned downstream gate. A first elongated valve member is reciprocated between a retracted open position and a closed position in which the tip of the valve member is seated in the upstream gate. A second elongated valve member is similarly reciprocated between a retracted open position and a closed position in which the tip of the valve member is seated in the downstream gate. In the closed position, the faces of the tips of the valve members abut against each other along the parting line. One of the valve members has a vent bore extending diagonally from its face to avoid a piece of plastic film being formed from melt trapped between them in the closed position.

Title: Perfectionnements destines a un transmetteur de concentration ou s'y rapportant
Inventor: LUNDBERG PETER
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 1995-11-22
Granted: 2006-03-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des transmetteurs de mesures de concentration, en l'occurrence un agencement de transmetteur statique du type à lame qui inclut une lame (4) active dans le milieu soumis à mesure. Cette lame est suspendue par un axe (5) permettant de transférer à un transposeur de mesure (6), via l'axe, le moment de la force de cisaillement s'exerçant sur la lame, et de déterminer la concentration en fibres du milieu concerné. Le transposeur est de préférence situé dans le boîtier du transmetteur (3), boîtier dans lequel pénètre l'axe en relation étanche grâce à un puits de traversée (7) qui est constitué d'un tube (9) faisant bloc avec le boîtier ou solidarisé avec le boîtier, et déborde du boîtier vers le bas vers l'extrémité libre de l'axe (5) portant la lame (4). Le jeu (8) de l'axe au travers du tube (9) autorise des mouvements d'axe permettant au transposeur de mesures (6) de prendre en compte le mouvement de rotation de l'axe (5) autour du centre de rotation théorique (10) qui se situe sensiblement au niveau de la partie médiane du tube (9). L'axe dépasse ensuite par l'extrémité libre du tube contre laquelle il est rigidement maintenu en relation étanche, ce qui assure l'étanchéité du puits de traversée (7), sans que cela n'affecte le moment de la force de cisaillement transmis au transposeur (6) et n'affecte par conséquent la précision de la mesure.

Inventor: COLLEE PIERRE EMMANUEL
IPC: E21B25/08
Filed: 1996-05-03
Granted: 2005-08-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and composition for encapsulating a core sample as it enters a core barrel with a water-based encapsulating material that preferably comprises an expandable lattice type clay. The water-base causes the expandable lattice type clay to swell, forming a plastic mass which can be pumped into a core barrel to encapsulate the core sample and maintain the chemical and mechanical integrity of the sample during transport to the surface. Filtration control agents preferably are added to the encapsulating material to prevent water from penetrating into or interacting with the core. These control agents prevent the loss and/or invasion of water or other gaseous or fluid components. The control agents are (a) a water soluble thickening agent, and, optionally, (b) a particulate sealing agent capable of (i) sealing the pores of the core sample, or (ii) bridging the pores of the core sample and permitting the thickening agent to adsorb to the bridge to seal the pores. The integrity of the core sample will be maximized if a pressure core barrel is used to transport the encapsulated core sample to the surface.

Title: Resistive fault location
Inventor: VOKEY DAVID E
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 1996-06-17
Granted: 2000-11-14
Abstract: A resistive fault location method and apparatus are used on communication and power cables. Two instruments are connected to opposite ends of the faulted conductor. Each takes a series of voltage and current measurements that are then processed to determine the distance from each end of the conductor to the fault. To eliminate voltage and current transients, the data collected is statistically analyzed and data that is analyzed as being affected by transients is discarded. The remaining data is taken as being steady state data. This eliminates any requirement for simultaneous measurements at opposite ends of the conductor and accounts for any situation where local transients at the two ends of the conductor are different at any given instant.

Title: Ammonia production with enriched air reforming and nitrogen injection into the synthesis loop
Inventor: LEBLANC JOSEPH RAY
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1996-08-26
Granted: 2007-04-10
Abstract: A retrofit method for increasing production capacity of an ammonia plant having a front end including in series primary and secondary reformers and a shift converter for reacting a hydrocarbon feed, steam and air to form a make-up syngas stream comprising hydrogen and nitrogen at about design stoichiometry, and a synthesis loop wherein a recycle syngas stream is combined with the make-up gas to form a syngas feed to ammonia converters. The retrofit involves the installation of an air separation unit to supply oxygen and nitrogen streams. The oxygen is used to enrich air supplied to the secondary reformer and increase the hydrogen content of the make-up gas substantially above the design stoichiometry and capacity. The nitrogen stream is supplied to the synthesis loop to obtain a desired hydrogen to nitrogen ratio in the syngas feed to the ammonia converters and compensate for the excess hydrogen in the make-up gas. The synthesis loop, if desired, is upgraded to include a high activity catalyst converter for increased ammonia production.

IPC: A23L13/40
Filed: 1995-06-23
Granted: 1999-04-06
Abstract: The immobilized enzyme for removal of residual cyclodextrins is either a combination of an alpha-amylase and a CGTase which has been immobilized or a fungal alpha-amylase which has been immobilized. In addition to either the fungal alpha-amylase or the CGTase and alpha-amylase, a debranching enzyme can also be employed. When using a debranched enzyme, the debranched enzyme is also immobilized. By using the immobilized enzyme, the step of inactivating the enzyme is eliminated and the contamination due to the inactivated enzyme is also eliminated.

Abstract: The dual band code division multiple access radio of the present invention operates on multiple frequencies simultaneously on either transmit or receive. The transmit path operates by splitting the transmit intermediate frequency (IF) path (103) and mixing the IF to two different transmit frequencies using two frequency synthesizers (140 and 145 ). The receive path (104) has two RF channels (116 and 117) that are mixed with the frequencies generated by the synthesizers (140 and 145) and summed into one IF strip. Thus the radio of the present invention can perform a soft hand-off between frequencies while communicatin g with both base stations simultaneously. Additional mixing paths and synthesizers can be added if it is desired to communicate with mor e than two base stations simultaneously.
