Title: Thermally triggered safety device to be mounted on pipelines to automatically shut-off the fluid
Inventor: SCHULZE KLAUS
IPC: F16K17/38
Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: Inside the casing (1), there are three or more ribs (8) arranged with their longitudinal axes parallel to the closing body's direction of movement when closing so that each rib forms a slide-way for the closing body (5) moving from open into closed position.  Into each of these ribs there is cut a first groove (10) in which is placed a shaped part (11) that supports the closing spring (9). At least the ribs arranged approximately op-posite to the tappet (20) have a second groove whose side facing the seat (7) forms a rest edge (18) on which the control edge may rest when the closing body is in open position. When the fusible soft solder component (21) is melting away, the tappet changes its position in axial direction under the force exercised by the closing spring.  Due to this change of position, the control edge is no longer resting on the rest edge, and the closing body driven by the closing spring switches over into its close position.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing analog mode operations when transmitting audio and data in a wireless tdma system
Inventor: THOMSON DAVID JAMES
IPC: H04L27/18
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for use in a transceiver of a wireless system that enable analog mode operations to be performed using in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) values. The apparatus comprises a processor that performs FM modulation to generate I, Q pairs when operating in the analog mode. When transmitting in the analog mode, the processor encodes a digital representation of the signal to be transmitted into I, Q pairs and outputs the I, Q pairs to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) comprised by the apparatus. The DAC converts the digital I, Q pairs into analog signals and outputs the analog signals to a cosine wave generator, which generates an in-phase cosine wave and an out-of phase cosine wave having amplitudes that are proportional to the I and Q values, respectively. The cosine waves are summed for transmission over air. When receiving in the analog mode, a digital down converter converts the received signal into digital I and Q values. The processor then demodulates the I and Q values into a digital representation of the received signal to extract the signal content. When transitioning from transmitting data to transmitting audio, and vice versa, the processor ensures that abrupt changes in the phases of the I, Q pairs do not occur.

Title: Programmable one-pot oligosaccharide synthesis
Inventor: ZHANG ZHIYUAN
IPC: C07H3/06
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: The reactivity of a number of p-methylphenyl thioglycoside (STol) donors which are either fully protected or have one hydroxyl group exposed has been quantitatively determined by HPLC in conjunction with the development of a broadly applicable approach for a facile one-pot synthesis of oligosaccharides. The influence on reactivity of the structural effects of different monosaccharide cores and different protecting groups on each glycoside donor is characterized and quantified. In addition, a correlation between glycosyl donor reactivity and the chemical shift of the anomeric proton by 1H NMR has been established.  A database of thioglycosides as glycosyl donors has been created using this reactivity data. The utility is demonstrated by the easy and rapid one-pot assembly of various linear and branched oligosaccharide structures. In addition, a computer program as been described for use as a database search tool and guide for the selection of building blocks for the one-pot assembly of a desired oligosaccharide or a library of individual oligosaccharides.
