Patent EE-03863-B1 (EE)
Inventor: SCOTT GARRETT L
IPC: C03B5/24
Filed: 1998-04-08
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a first orifice (24) for receiving core glass from a first source (12). A second orifice (26) is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by a chamber (30) that communicates with the second orifice through a gap between the first and second orifices. A spout (36) delivers casing glass from a second source (40) through a tube (32) to the chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. Rate of glass flow through the second or casing glass source (40) is measured and compared with one or more preset limits (78). Rate of casing glass flow from the second source to the chamber surrounding the orifices is adjusted when rate of flow through the second source departs from the preset limit. In this way, a desired ratio of casing glass to core glass, and consequently the desired thickness of the casing glass layer, is automatically maintained.

Abstract: The use of acidified nitrate as an agent to produce local production of nitrate oxide at the skin surface is described in the treatment of peripheral ischaemia and associated conditions. The dosage form may be in any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier means and comprises an acidifying agent adapted to reduce the pH at the environment. A barrier consisting of a membrane allows diffusions of the nitrate ions while preventing direct contact of the skin and acidifying agent. Amongst the many potential applications for the invention is the management of chronic skin wounds, peripheral ischaemia conditions such as Raynaud's phenomenon. Compositions and methods of use for these applications are described.

Abstract: A finger operated pump assembly comprising a pump body having a base supporting an outer housing and an inner housing and defining a first portion of a compression chamber therebetween. A piston is at least partially received within the pump body and is slidable relative to the pump body along an inner surface of the outer housing. The piston has an annular lip for providing a sealing engagement with the pump body, and the piston is provided with a piston outlet defined by a poppet valve seat. A poppet is accommodated by the inner housing and the poppet is biased away from the base into engagement with the poppet valve seat by a spring to normally close the piston outlet. The poppet, the base and the inner housing all define an interior cavity. A peripheral passageway communicates with the compression chamber, and the passageway includes a one-way valve which allows the product to flow along the passageway toward the compression chamber. The interior cavity is provided with a ventilation port which allows the interior cavity, during operation of the poppet, to operate at ambient pressure. The pump body is coupled to a turret which is connected to a closure.

Abstract: A search machine finds and ranks documents in a database based on a set of rules that match characteristics of the database with a natural language query. The system includes a lexicon component which may parse the query and the database into words and word stems. Thereafter, the query and documents may be vectorized such that the elements of the vector correspond to a given word stem, and the value of the element in the vector corresponds to the number of occurrences of the word in the document. The vectorized query is then compared and evaluated against each of the vectorized documents of the database to obtain a ranked list of documents from the database. The user may evaluate the documents found and provide information back to the search machine in order to adjust, for example, the ranking produced by the search machine. In this way, the search machine can fine tune its search and ranking technique to meet the user's specific criteria.

Abstract: When considering the main types of commercial engines available on the market, whether two-stroke, four-stroke or rotary-type, it is found that, and this is commonplace, said engines are highly polluting. The main reason for this lies in the difficulty to manufacture worn gas filters which would not induce restriction However, that difficulty can be overcome by producing an engine which is itself capable of sustaining a high rate of restriction. The technical solutions disclosed by the invention present several embodiments enabling the engine to tolerate a higher level of restriction and consequently a more dense filtering. These various technical embodiments provide for a novel path for fresh gases through the engine. The invention provides a solution, which is not primarily concerned with fresh gas supply but rather with waste gas absorption, followed by their subsequent evacuation constituting the first stroke of said engine. Indeed, the waste gases are evacuated outwards by two successive steps: the gases are evacuated outwards by pumping, and said discharge generates, in turn, a vacuum which sucks in the burnt fresh gases which in turn finally suck in the fresh gases. Said techniques have the further advantage of producing two stroke engines powered with gas only, and consequently cleaner and more efficient.
