Title: Process for the manufacture of printed orthopedic casting tape
Inventor: GREEN RICHARD
IPC: B41F17/00
Filed: 1998-05-01
Granted: 2003-09-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the manufacture of printed orthopedic casting tapes. A knit, open mesh fibrous tape having elastic filaments extending in the length direction is stretched in a predetermined amount and a pattern is printed onto the stretched fibrous tape using a low temperature drying ink. The printed tape is thereafter passed through a drying zone maintained at a temperature of less than about 100 ~C while the tape is maintained in the stretched condition. The printed tape is thereafter allowed to relax and is subsequently coated with a hardenable liquid resin.

Abstract: A mercury removal system for removing mercury from combustion flue gases is provided in which alkaline sorbents at generally extremely low stoichiometric molar ratios of alkaline earth or an alkali metal to sulfur of less than 1.0 are injected into a power plant system at one or more locations to remove at least between about 40% and 60% of the mercury content from combustion flue gases. Small amounts of alkaline sorbents are injected into the flue gas stream at a relatively low rate. A particulate filter is used to remove mercury-containing particles downstream of each injection point used in the power plant system.

Title: Filtering material and device and method of its manufacture
Inventor: DUBSON ALEXANDER
IPC: D01D5/00
Filed: 1999-12-02
Granted: 2008-09-30
Abstract: A device and method for producing a porous fiber structure. One or more points of high surface curvature is produced in a liquefied; polymer, such as a polymer solution or a polymer melt. The points of high surface curvature may be produced by forcing the liquefied polymer through narrow nozzles, or by wetting sharp protrusions with the liquefied polymer. The liquefied polymer is charged to a high negative electrical potential relative to a grounded moving belt. Thin jets of liquefied polymer emerge from the points of high surface curvature to impinge as fibers on the moving belt, thereby forming an unwoven fiber structure of relatively uniform porosity. A powdered aerosol is charged to a high positive electrical potential relative to the moving belt. As the belt moves past the aerosol, the aerosol particles are attracted to fill interstices in the fiber structure, thereby creating a composite filtering material.

Inventor: KOCH RUSSELL W
IPC: B29D30/06
Filed: 1999-12-03
Granted: 2007-08-28
Abstract: A anchoring patch for preparing the innerliner of a pneumatic tire so that an encapsulated electronic monitoring device may be adhered to the prepared area of the innerliner includes a cover, a layer of uncured rubber, and a layer of cure material disposed between the cover and the uncured rubber. A polyethylene release cover may also be used to protect the layer of uncured rubber until the patch is used on an innerliner. The layer of uncured rubber may be continuous or in the form of a frame that allows the layer of cure material direct contact with the innerliner of a tire when the patch is placed on an innerliner. The patch is applied to a green tire with the layer of uncured rubber contacting the innerliner. The green tire is then cured and the cover and the layer of cure material are removed to deposit an anchoring layer on the innerliner of the tire. An electronic monitoring device may be securely bonded to the anchoring layer deposited on the innerliner either directly or by using an attachment patch.

Title: Window lift bracket
Inventor: SCHMITT KARL R
IPC: E05F11/38
Filed: 2000-07-31
Granted: 2005-02-08
Abstract: A window lift bracket for attachment to a movable window and which is connectable to a window lifting mechanism. The window lift bracket includes a base which is attachable to the window lifting mechanism and spaced apart sidewalk extending from the base being positionable on either side of the movable window. The spaced apart sidewalls define a channel therebetween.  The window lift bracket includes at least one member, such as a flexible beam member, which is disposed generally in the channel for engaging the window when the window is disposed therein. Preferably, the engagement between the member and the window provides a reduced stress area at the bottom of the channel. Opposing surfaces of the spaced apart sidewalls may provide convoluted surfaces, such as protrusions and depressions, which effectively increase the surface area to which the adhesive adheres, thereby improving the adhesion of the adhesive to the window bracket and the window.
