Title: Methods of making a cushiony decorative tile or cover product from extruded hot recycled polyvinyl chloride material with discrete fibres randomly dispersed therein as the material exits the extruder, and the products so formed
Inventor: BURT JOHN R
IPC: B29C48/305
Filed: 1995-05-03
Granted: 2000-11-28
Abstract: A method of continuously fabricating a cushiony recycled plastic floor tile or wall cover incorporating a decorative printed design wherein a single-ply sheet, made up substantially of recycled membrane and a proportion of discrete fibres sufficient to create a cushion effect in the tile is extruded at an extruding temperature in the range of 300°F-350°F in a hot state of semi-solidity in which it can be drawn under tensile load without reducing in thickness. The hot substrate proceeds immediately into the nip between laminatinq rolls and a transparent cover film, having decorative imprinting on one surface is passed closely alongside one of the laminating rolls to apply radiant preheat to it, before passing on into the nip with the substrate. The cover film utilizes the heat in the substrate and the heat imparted by one of the laminating rolls to bring it to bonding temperature while compressive pressure is applied to autogeneously heat weld the substrate and cover film in surface to surface sealed contact without the imposition of air bubbles or wrinkles between them. The welded product is then cooled and cut into discrete sizes, which are applied as very durable, tough, cushiony floor tile or wall covering.

Title: Shared buffer memory switch for an atm switching system and its broadcasting control method
Inventor: YAMADA KENJI
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1995-05-23
Granted: 2000-03-07
Abstract: A shared buffer memory switch for an ATM switching system and its broadcasting control method are provided which can guarantee the cell transfer quality defined for each connection by maintaining the sequence order of arrival for each cell even if ordinary and broadcasting cells are mixed.      When an input cell is a broadcasting cell, bit map data showing a broadcasting destination information is read from a broadcast registration table 6 based on the routing information derived from a header information of the cell, and an address for storing the cell in the shared buffer memory is written in all the address pointer queues corresponding to all output ports shown in the broadcasting destination information, and the cell is stored in the shared buffer memory with the broadcasting destination information. In reading a cell, an address of the shared buffer memory from which the cell is to be read out is read from the address pointer queue of the address pointer queues, and the cell is output to the corresponding output port. In the case where the cell is a broadcasting cell, the broadcasting destination information attached to the cell is reset for the corresponding output port and the revised broadcasting destination information and the cell is stored in the same address of the shared buffer memory until all broadcasting destination information are reset.

Title: Automated apparatus and method for consolidating products for packaging
Inventor: EDWARDS RUSSELL JAMES
IPC: B65B25/00
Filed: 1995-06-08
Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: An automated apparatus for controlling the automatic packaging of contact lenses in a contact lens fabrication facility. A first robotic transfer device is provided for periodically transferring a first predetermined amount of individual packages from the first station to an intermediate consolidation buffer. The packages are deposited on the consolidation buffer. A controller tracks down and identifies each individual contact lens conveyed form an inspection station to the consolidation buffer. The controller includes a memory and a logic for storing the identity of individual packages containing contact lenses, predetermined as out of specification by the inspection station, and generates a signal to cause the first robotic device to discard any individual package identified by the controller as being out of specification. A second robotic assembly periodically transfers a second predetermined amount of individual packages from the consolidation buffer to a second processing station.      The controller enables the first robotic device to provide sufficient amount of individual packages to the consolidation buffer to enable the second robotic assembly to continuously transfer the second predetermined amount of packages to the second processing station in every period.

Title: Preheating particles in manufacture of pressed board
Inventor: GERHARDT KLAUS
IPC: B27N3/18
Filed: 1995-07-05
Granted: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A particle mat for pressing into a pressed board is heated by concurrently passing through the mat treatment air coming from an air-conditioning system and having a predetermined moisture content and dew point, heating the treatment air passing through the mat to a temperature which is greater by a dew-point differential than the dew point of the treatment air, and controlling the volume rate of flow of the treatment air and the moisture content of the treatment air such that the mat is preheated to a predetermined temperature while liquid in the treatment air is allowed to condense in the mat to at most a maximum liquid content. This preheating method reduces the processing time of the particle mat and substantially mintains or improves the properties of the mat while allowing the preheating to be carried out in an exactly controlled manner.

Title: Partially hydrophobic precipitated silicas
Inventor: RAMB ANJA
IPC: A01N25/22
Filed: 1997-03-27
Granted: 2000-10-10
Abstract: Partially hydrophobic precipitated silica with a methanol crosslinking potential of 10-49% is new. When anhydrous, the silica has a DBP absorption > 250 g/100 g. The average particle size is 1-12 µm and the silica has a carbon content of 0.3-1.85 %, and when dried, it loses 2.6-10 % of its weight. It has a pH of 5.5-10. The silica is prepared by mixing a silica suspension (which has been prepared using known methods) with a material that gives the silica hydrophobic properties. The mixing takes place for a very short time at conditions of low pH and high shear. The resulting suspension is filtered and washed in salt-free conditions, and the filter cake is dried, thermally treated and powdered.

Title: Optical fibre connector for fibres with cleaved and beveled ends
Inventor: CARPENTER JAMES B
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1996-06-05
Granted: 2008-08-05
Abstract: A device for interconnecting the bare ends of two or more optical fibers use s a common receptacle having a fiber clamping element therein and camming surfaces for actuating the element, and at least one plug having a camming finger for engaging one of the camming surfaces. The camming surfaces are located such that, when only one of the camming surfaces is actuated, the clamping element rocks to a side of the pocket opposite the one camming surface and remains in the open state, but when both of the camming surfaces are actuated, the clamping element is forced to the closed state. The plug includes a fiber protector free to slide within the plug housing, substantially enclosing the bare end of the fiber when the plug housing is removed from the receptacle, but retracting when the plug housing is inserte d into the receptacle to direct the bare end of the fiber toward said guide tube. A fiber collet biases the terminal end of the fiber toward the forward end of the plug to place a preload condition on the bare end of the fiber. T he connector is particularly suited for cleave-and-bevel installations. The receptacle preferably uses a novel clamping element having two plate members with fiber-contacting surfaces, at least one of said fiber-contacting surfac es having a fiber-receiving groove. Edges of the plates are aligned and held together with a split tube spring. At least one of the plate members is provided with a wire-receiving groove and a wire therein which acts as a fulcrum to allow the plates to pivot along an axis defined by the wire. The split tube spring provides a precisely controlled load along the edges of th e plates, allowing the opposite ends to be clamped together (within the guide tube) by a force sufficient to overcome the controlled load of the split tub e spring.
