Title: Method for preparing a dilithium initiator and anionic polymerisation method
Inventor: ROBERT PIERRE
IPC: C08F297/04
Filed: 2001-08-27
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for preparing a dilithium initiator for use in anionic polymerisation, a method for preparing by anionic polymerisation a living diene elastomer provided with a carbon-lithium group at each of its chain ends, and a method for preparing a three-block copolymer from said living diene elastomer. The inventive method for preparing a dilithium initiator consists in reacting in an aliphatic or alicylic hydrocarbon solvent a first reagent consisting of a dialkenyl benzene and a second reagent consisting of secondary butyl lithium, so that the ratio of the number of moles of the first reagent over the number of moles of the second reagent is substantially equal to 0.5, and said method is characterised in that it consists in causing said reagents to react in the presence of a diamine, so that the resulting initiator essentially consists of a double adduct resulting from the addition of a secondary butyl lithium on each of the double bonds borne by said dialkenyl benzene.

Title: Display form having magnetically attachable parts
Inventor: VARNER RICHARD
IPC: F16C11/04
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: Forms for display of clothing and the like with magnetically attach-able parts are provided. The magnetic joints (14) comprise a magnetic assembly with a depth of pull sufficient to cause the attachable part to begin to pull toward the form at a distance preferably greater than one-half inch, preferably about one inch. Preferably the magnetic assembly has a depth of pull of at least about gauss at a distance of one inch. A metallic plate is arranged in mating configu-ration with the magnetic assembly. Mating pins (18) may be provided, as well as indexing pins (16). If the manikin is knocked over, or if the attached part is pulled or bumped, it will come loose rather than breaking off; and the mating parts are self-seeking in use, so that they will come together in proper orientation even when being mated beneath clothes. A bump to the manikin sufficient to overcome the on-contact strength of the magnetic attachment may not result in detachment of the limb because of the depth of the pull strength of the magnetic assembly.  The indexing pins allow the limbs to be placed in a variety of positions.

Title: Improved mig welding torch reconditioning apparatus
Inventor: SIMOND ALFRED ROBERT
IPC: B23K9/32
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: A MIG welding torch reconditioning appara-tus (1) has an in-line, direct-drive arrangement of a motor (5), a mechanical transmission shaft (12), and chuck (13) for re-ceiving a reaming tool (3). A pneumatic lift (14) lifts the di-rect-drive arrangement (11) into reaming tool (3) engagement with a torch gas shield (4) for operating the tool (3) to remove deposits from interior surfaces of the shield (4). The reaming tool (3) is intermittently driven such that when the deposits in-hibit the tool (3) from further rotation due to insufficient torque from the direct-drive arrangement (11), the motor (5) discon-tinues driving rotation of the reaming tool (3) until sufficient motive force can be brought to impact through the reaming tool against the contacted deposits to allow the apparatus to return to normal reaming operation. The apparatus further in-cludes a pneumatic supply line and vent means (31) for direct-ing debri-scattering air flow against the mechanical transmis-sion proximal to exposed seals (33) of the transmission.

Abstract: A system and method for selectively processing log files for enhancing performance of table space recovery by processing only those log files required, as well as choosing which log file to process during recovery for both redo and rollback phases of recover y. The system and method skips the processing of log files that do not contain records of interest for the table space being recovered and determines whether a log file contains anything that nee ds to be played, in particular for the recovery of a subsystem in the database, such as a table space. Pre processing of the log files is not done, rather including tablespace ID correlated with log file ID information is collected while the log files are created. The cross-correlated informati on is used during tablespace recovery to selectively determine which of the log files to process. Some log files may be skipped in cases where not all of the database system is being recovered. A sub set of the database can be recovered, such as a tablespace, and which log files to process is determined based on lock intent.
