Title: Low contact force spring
Inventor: KELM HENRY J
IPC: B21D24/02
Filed: 1999-07-22
Abstract: A fluid spring assembly (50). The spring assembly preferably includes a body
(52) that slidably supports a piston (58) that is attached to a piston rod (64). The piston
serves to define a fluid chamber within the body that is charged with a pressurized fluid

Inventor: TSOTSIS THOMAS K DR
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for producing preform
materials for impact-resistant composite materials suitable for
liquid molding. An interlayer (6; 12) comprising a spunbonded,
spunlaced, or mesh fabric is introduced between non-crimped
layers of unidirectional reinforcing fibers (2; 14) to produce
a preform for use in liquid-molding processes to produce composite
materials. Interlayer material (6; 12) remains as a
separate phase from matrix resin after infusion, and curing of
the preform provides increased impact resistance by increasing
the amount of energy required to propagate localized fractures
due to impact. Constructions having the interlayer materials
melt-bonded to the reinforcing fibers (2; 14) demonstrate improved
mechanical performance through improved fiber alignment
compared to other fabrication and preforming methods.

Abstract: A decision is made as to whether a radio base
station acting as an interference source is present in
a macrocell or microcell, so that the interference
from a mobile station transmitting at high power can
be prevented in advance. The base station inserts its
transmission power value of a forward broadcast
channel into broadcast information. A newly installed
base station C, receiving a forward frequency band,
measures the received level of the broadcast channel,
and captures the transmitted power value. 
     A propagation loss is calculated from the
received level of the broadcast channel and the
transmission power value acquired, and a decision is
made that the channel is available, if the propagation
loss is less than a certain value, and the received
level is less than the threshold value.

Abstract: A video encoder/decoder (610) utilizes a bistream syntax that provides an independently decodable, partial picture unit (600), which may be in the form of a unit containing one or more contiguous rows of macroblocks (called a slice). This slice layer provides a flexible combination of error-resilience and compression efficiency. The slice layer encodes an efficient addressing ( 630) mechanism (e.g., a syntax element specifying a beginning macroblock row of the slice layer), as well as an efficient mechanism to optionally retransmit picture header information (510). The slice layer provides decoding and reconstruction independence by disabling all forms of prediction, overlap and loop-filtering across slice-boundaries. This permits a slice coded in intra-mode to be reconstructed error-free, irrespective of errors in other regions of the picture.

Abstract: A system is set forth for the exothermic generation of soot depleted syngas comprising (i) reacting a hydrocarbon-containing fuel with an oxygen containing gas in a first reactor to produce the syngas and byproducts comprising CO2,H20 and soot; and (ii) introducing the syngas and byproducts into a second reactor containing a non-carbonaceous material that traps the soot for a sufficient time such that the majority of the byproduct soot is gasified via reaction with the byproduct CO2 and/or H20 to produce a syngas stream that is depleted in the soot. The system is particularly suitable for the practice of heat exchange reforming wherein a portion of the heat is recovered from the soot depleted syngas stream and used as at least a portion of the heat to facilitate the additional production of syngas via the (endothermic) catalytic reforming of natural gas and steam.
