Abstract: A grafted polyolefin containing one or more of N-vinylimidazole, 4-vinylpyridine, or other ethylenically-unsaturated nitrogen-containing or oxygen-containing graftable monomers grafted to a polyolefin copolymer is disclosed. The grafted polyolefin preferably has a weight average molecular weight of from about 20,000 to about 500,000, a polydispersity of less than about 10, and an ADT value of at least about 8. The grafted polyolefin can be defined as containing more than about 1.2% by weight of grafted monomer on a polyolefin, or as containing at least about 13 moles of graftable monomers per mole of polyolefin, or as having an asphaltene dispersancy test (ADT) value of at least about 8. Also described is a lubricating oil comprising a lubricant base oil and a grafted polyolefin as described above. Also described is a method of making a dispersant viscosity index improver. N-vinyl-imidazole or other ethylenically unsaturated nitrogen-containing and/or oxygen-containing graftable monomers and a graftable polyolefin are reacted with enough of an initiator to graft the monomer to the polyolefin. The initiator and/or graftable monomer is added to the other ingredients, maintained at the reaction temperature, over a period of time. The reaction temperature is maintained at a level high enough to give acceptable reaction times. The N-vinylimidazole and the initiator each can be added at a uniform, relatively slow rate during the reaction.

Abstract: The current invention is a biomedical implant comprising a biomedical matrix material and a biodegradable porosifying agent. As the porosifying agent degrades in situ, an implant with an interconnecting network is formed. The resultant mechanically stable implant allows for tissue and fluid influx into the matrix. The invention is also directed to a method for repair of mammalian tissue using the above-described implant.

Abstract: A CATV interference cancellation system reduces the presence of undesirable narrowband interference that corrupts return signal transmissions. The cancellation system first acquires a reference signal that contains components related to the interference present in the return signal. The reference signal is processed to derive estimates of the interference components appearing in the return signal and a cancellation signal is generated. The interference cancellation signal is then combined with the return signal, thereby reducing the interference components present in it. The interference cancellation system is deployed at a CATV headend and time division multiple access techniques (TDMA) are used for return transmission. The reference signal is derived from monitoring time slots within a TDMA frame that contain predetermined transmission data. Preferably the predetermined data is the absence of data resulting in an idle time slot. These time slots may be temporarily idle, or may deliberately be left unused to provide a window to a "noise-only" component of the return path signal. The signal thus obtained is passed through the same RF processing stage as the composite return signal and subsequently sampled and digitized. Thereafter, spectrum estimation techniques are applied to the samples of the signal to determine the frequencies of the interfering signals. Once an estimate of the interference frequencies is obtained from the spectrum, the reference signal comprising the same frequencies may be synthesized.

Abstract: An automatic switching device for flourescent light has a light sensing element that reacts to ambient light and a switching unit designed to react to an output signal from the light sensing element and to activate or deactivate the flourescent light. The switching unit has a reference threshold generator. The flourescent light is activated or deactivated depending on whether the output signal from the light sensing element exceeds or falls below a threshold generated by the reference threshold generator and the threshold level depends on the luminosity sensed by the light sensing element. The switching unit further includes a delay designed for preventing signal processing by the switching unit for a present period of time upon switching on of the flourescent light.

Abstract: The invention relates to an interworking function apparatus (IWF), a method and an arrangement for establishing a mobile-terminating call in a mobile communications network when the call is received from a calling party via a fixed network without any signalling support which provides information on the protocol employed by the calling party. In the invention, a service is assigned only one directory number, which is common to all the protocols employed by the service. The protocol identifier in a service definition linked with this directory number has a neutral (undefined) value or may be interpreted as neutral. The IWF, upon receiving the neutral RA parameter (Step 2), is switched onto the line and monitors a traffic channel received from the fixed network in order to identify the protocol employed by the calling terminal equipment (Steps 54-57). After identifying the protocol, the IWF is configured according to the identified protocol (Steps 58-60 or 61-63), and data transfer may begin (Step 64).

Abstract: The system includes a bi-directional airlift spring having opposite end plates at either end located between two parallel control arms where expansion of the air spring pivots the upper and lower control arms w.r.t. a frame bracket thereby lifting an axle and wheels attached to it from engagement with the road surface. The end plates of the bi-directional air spring move about equally in opposite directions and remain parallel to one another throughout expansion and contraction of the air spring so as to about equally distribute forces of expansion of the air spring between the upper and lower control arms. The system also includes a shock absorber having one end attached to the upper control arm and another end attached to the lower control arm so as to locate the shock absorber forward of the axle thereby minimising shock travel and maximising shock life. The upper control arm is pivotally connected to an axle seat by a bolt including an eccentric cam mechanism which allows one to adjust the caster angle of the axle when the need arises.
