Abstract: Method and apparatus for removing the cover film 
from a substrate having multible layers. 
A printed circuit board having a multi-layer film 
bonded to a planar surface thereof has one layer of 
the film lifted at a leading edge by vibration and 
fluid pressure. The leading edge is mechanically 
gripped and a pulling force applied thereto to draw 
the film from the surface of the circuit board and to 
transfer the removed film along a path to a discharge 
apparatus. The transfer apparatus includes 
frictionally engaged belts which direct the film along 
a transfer path to a source of ionized fluid which is 
applied to the film in order to remove static and 
direct the film along the transfer path towards a used 
film receptacle.

Title: Semiconductor laser optical head assembly
IPC: G11B7/135
Filed: 1990-06-05
Abstract: An improved optical head for reading information 
recorded on a reflected medium. The optical head (100) uses a 
hologram lens assembly (113) having a transparent plate and a 
hologram lens (114A), the transparent plate being obliquely 
positioned relative to a forward and a return beam paths. 
The transparent plate corrects beam aberrations in a laser 
beam emitted by a semiconductor laser (111) on the forward beam 
path. The hologram lens diffracts the laser beam on the 
return beam path onto a photodetector (119). Both the transparent 
plate and the hologram lens add beam aberrations to the 
defracted laser beam on the return beam path for tracking 
purposes. The hologram lens assembly may also include a 
second hologram lens (114B), preferably a three beam diffraction 
grating, for tracking purposes. The hologram lens and the 
diffraction grating may be located on the obliquely 
positioned transparent plate or on other transparent plates.

Title: Method for treating coal
IPC: C10L9/08
Filed: 1992-08-05
Abstract: A method of treating coal. The method comprises passing the coal through a retort having a shell temperature of about 500-1000 DEG F and shock heating the coal to a maximum surface temperature of about 500-1000 DEG F without allowing the coal to become exothermic. The coal is prevented from going exothermic by a combination of factors, including the evaporation of moisture from the shock heated coal, the tendency of coal to absorb heat and maintain a temperature of about 390-570 DEG F until the coal undergoes molecular transformation of comp lex hydrocarbons contained in the coal to simpler forms, and the effects of a cooling blanket gas passed through the shock heated coal. The blanket gas preferably comprises an oxygen lean blanket gas stream containing about 2-8% oxygen by volume. The treated coal exhibits extremely low moisture content and increased BTU value and other improved combustion characteristics.

Title: Implement for milking animals.
Inventor: VAN DEN BERG KAREL
IPC: A01J7/00
Filed: 1988-07-21
Abstract: In a method of automatically milking animals, e.g. cows, in a milking parlour, teat cups (80) carried by a robot arm (7) of a milking robot can be moved individually upwardly relative to the robot arm (7), whereby a vacuum is produced in the teat cup (80) moved upwardly, so that the teat cup (80) can suck to a relevant teat. Thereafter the teat cup (80) is released from the robot arm (7) but remains connected therewith via a flexible connecting member (81), by means of which the teat cup (80) is pulled towards and against the robot arm (7) when the milking flow through the teat cup (80) has ended. The specification further describes an implement for performing this method.

Title: Apparatus for simulating flames or a solid fuel fire.
Inventor: O'NIELL NOEL
IPC: F24C7/00
Filed: 1994-02-04
Abstract: A simulated solid fuel fire includes a rear reflector, which may be curved, a screen which diffusely transmits light and reflects light and a flag-like member positioned between a rear reflector and screen. Simulated fuel is positioned in front of the screen and means are provided to illuminate the fuel, the flag-like member and the rear reflector. A reflecting surface reflects light in such a way as to cause perception of colours. The rear reflector includes reflective regions situated below a darkened area. Luminous flame-shaped images, tinged with colour, can be perceived between shadows on the screen, the images emanating between the fuel and its reflected image. When the simulated fuel resembles logs, light illuminates the upper surfaces to promote realism. <IMAGE>

relationships between the respective resource management
groups to form a resource management tree (100). At the
generation of a new resource management group, resources

IPC: H04W4/04

Abstract: A communication area for an antenna (30) disposed on a
toll collection gate (24) and a communication area for a responder
unit (23a through 23e, hereinafter,IU) mounted on an automobile
are arranged to coincide with each other, and communication failure
in intervening areas when a plurality of communication areas are
formed in a toll collection area. When an IU (23a through 23e)
mounted on an automobile (22) receives a pilot signal-wave, it
modulates a carrier-radio-wave-signal which is subsequently
transmitted thereto with a responding data-signal and transmits
the modulated-carrier-radio-wave as a responding signal-wave. In
this system, the output power of the responding signal-wave is
attenuated during the round trip of the carrier-radio-wave.
Therefore, the output power thereof is decreased from an original
level when the pilot signal-wave is transmitted. On the other
hand, when other signal waves are transmitted, their output power
are restored to the original level, thereby equalizing the
power of the responding signal of the IU (23a through 23e) and
that of the communication signals from the antenna (30) thereby
ensuring steady communication.

Patent EP-0705983-A3 (EP)
Inventor: JANSEN PAULUS S W
IPC: F04D25/12
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a fan adapted for placing on the roof of a building. Roof fans are known which blow substantially vertically, while fans are also commercially available which have a substantially horizontal, radial outflow pattern. The fan according to the invention now has the feature that the fan is constructed such that the air blown to the outside has both a considerable horizontal and a considerable vertical directional component. Due to the angle at which the outflowing air is displaced, ambient air is carried along through so-called "induction". An air flow will for instance be created which travels downward from above in the direction of the fan, is then deflected and carried along by the obliquely blowing air flow. Also occurring along the roof in the direction of the fan is an air flow which will deflect in the vicinity of the fan to be then carried along in the direction of the obliquely blowing air flow. <IMAGE>
