Inventor: HAFENRICHTER JOSEPH L
IPC: B23Q17/22
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: A magnetic indexer (10) for locating a device (26) producing a magnetic field in a blind or inaccessible position of a work piece (36). A magnet (26) is initially placed on a first side of the work piece (36) such that a magnetic field produced by the magnet extends through the work piece (36) and substantially perpendicular to a surface of the work piece (36). A device comprising a plurality of probes (18,20,22) for sensing magnetic fields is then positioned over a second surface of the work piece (36). The probes (18,20,22) are then moved over the second surface to determine the location of the axis (26a) of the magnet (26) via the strength of the sensed magnetic field. Once the position of the axis (26a) of the magnet (26) is determined, the work surface is either marked or worked on through the platform on which the probes (18,20,22) are positioned. In particular, a hole may be accurately drilled or otherwise formed directly over the magnet (26) even when the first surface of the work piece (26) cannot be seen. Additionally, the present invention allows a very accurate positioning of a work tool on the second surface without the need to first visualize the first surface of the work piece (36).

Title: Processing packets based on context indications
Inventor: PULLELA VENKATESHWAR
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-03-15
Abstract: A context vector, typically used in a lookup operation of an associative memory, is generated based on a context of a received packet and the packet itself. In one implementation, multiple interfaces can share a common access control list as the context vector provides an indication of the result of unique processing required because of varying contexts, such as, but not limited to different interfaces, source addresses, and virtual network addresses. One implementation includes an input interface circuitry, a context indicator generator, a lookup word field generator, and an associative memory.  The context indicator generator generates a context vector corresponding to a characteristic of the input interface circuitry. The lookup word field generator generates one or more lookup word vectors based on the packet. The associative memory performs a lookup operation based on the context vector and lookup word vectors.

Title: Elastomeric gloves having improved gripping characteristics
Inventor: KISTER MARY ELIZABETH
IPC: A61B19/04
Filed: 2003-05-06
Abstract: An elastomeric glove (20) having an outer layer (21) that contains a silicone emulsion is provided. For example, in one embodiment, the glove contains a natural rubber latex substrate body (24), a donning layer (30) that is capable of being chlorinated, and an outer layer (36) formed from a silicone emulsion.  It has been unexpectedly discovered that the application of a silicone emulsion to the outer layer can offset the slipperiness normally caused by chlorination and thus enhance the gripping properties of the resulting elastomeric glove. Specifically, it is believed that the silicone emulsion can inhibit the ability of halogen atoms to bond with the elastomeric material of the substrate, thereby limiting the level of slipperiness usually imparted during chlorination.

Title: Enabling communication between users surfing the same web page
Inventor: IVANOFF IVAN A
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: A web page is YACHNEETM enabled by providing an icon on the page which allows actuation upon being clicked. The user is then able to design a character to represent him on the screen. He also sees characters on screen representing other users, which characters have been designed by the users. A user may move his character all over the screen by dragging it with his mouse and may rotate it towards or away from other characters. The characters may speak to each other, either through a voice communication or typing, in which case the text appears in a bubble (cartoon fashion). A user may change the appearance of a character to reflect an emotion (e.g. anger) and he may invite other characters to a private chat. When a user leaves the web page, the corresponding character disappears from all other users' screens.  Communication among users viewing the same web page is facilitated without the need for any program or plug-in other than what is standard in a web browser.  Additionally, such features as the automatic generation and de-activation of chat-rooms are possible, which in previous applications are pre-defined and independent of the presence of users.

Title: Process for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes
Inventor: RYU YONG J
IPC: C07C5/09
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: An improved selective hydrogenation process for removing acetylenic impurities such as vinyl acetylene, ethyl acetylene, propyl acetylene and acetylene in a steam cracked crude butadiene stream by selective hydrogenation is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the partial selective hydrogenation is carried out in a fixed bed with a copper based catalyst (12) to have the ratio of vinyl acetylene to ethyl acetylene in a range of from 0 to about 1 , preferably from about 0.01 to 0.6, in the product stream. In the second step, the selective hydrogenation of the remaining C4 acetylenic impurities is carried out to completion in the catalytic distillation mode using a palladium promoted copper catalyst (24, 26, 28, and 30), an improved palladium catalyst or a combination of these two. The product stream (14) from the first step partial hydrogenation is introduced to the catalytic distillation column (20) at a position within the catalytic reaction zone and hydrogen feed gas (18) is introduced below the catalyst bed to maximize the recovery of 1 ,3-butadiene.  The feed positions (22a, 22b, and 22c) to the catalytic distillation column may vary along the catalyst loading zone depending on the feed composition from the first step selective hydrogenation reactor. Optionally, to prolong the catalyst service and cycle time, a solvent is added to the reactor with the hydrocarbon bed stream in the first step or the second step or both steps
