Title: Ferrous chip removal tool
Inventor: GLOSSOP FRANK R JR
IPC: B66C1/04
Filed: 1995-03-01
Abstract: A tool is provided for removing ferrous chips, such as those that fall into the interior of a steel pipe when an opening is drilled into the pipe. The tool has a stem arranged so that a rod can be attached to the upper end to manipulate the tool. A magnet is affixed to the lower end of the stem. An inner non-magnetic tubular casing is telescopically received on the stem, the inner casing having a closed end that normally fits against the magnet. An outer tubular non-magnetic casing is telescopically received on the inner casing. A coil spring urges the outer casing downwardly so that the inner casing having the magnet therein is normally received within the lower end of the outer casing, the outer casing being displacable when forced against an object to move the inner casing and magnet therein to attract ferrous chips. After pressure against the outer casing is removed it telescopically extends over the inner casing and attracted ferrous chips to retain them againstdislodgement. The ferrous chips are removed from the lower end of the inner casing by moving it against a coil spring to displace the inner casing lower end away from the magnet.

Inventor: ANDINO RAFAEL VICTOR
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1994-09-14
Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for guiding a medical instrument to a predetermined target location within the periurethral tissues of a patient.  The apparatus directs the instrument along a predetermined path with respect to the patient's urethra (250) and limits penetration of the instrument to a predetermined depth. The disclosed embodiment comprises an apparatus for implanting inflatable prostheses (220) within the periurethral tissues to coapt the urethra (250) and thereby manage incontinence. A method for effecting coaptation of a urethra (250) of a patient is also disclosed. According to this method, a pair of working channels are formed within the periurethral tissues, and an inflatable prosthesis (220) is introduced into each working channel. The prostheses (220) are inflated only after both working channels have been formed, and preferably after both prostheses (220) have been positioned within their respective working channels. The inflated prostheses (220) confront the urethra (250) and effect coaptation of the urethra (250).

Patent CA-2154827-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WINKLER WAYNE
IPC: B29C48/25
Filed: 1995-07-27
Abstract: This invention relates to a novel system for processing waste, plastic and fiber products into new, usable products through the design and implementation of a new walking plane moulding system, incorporating  three  separate  linear  interacting  motions  and positive supply of lubricant sealant through these actions to the exterior of the extrusion product at the same time as inducing a forward motion in the extrudite.  The walking plane mould action between upper and lower mould sections, in addition to the cyclical action  of  the  entire mould  forwards  and reverse,  cause the extrudite to move outwardly.  During this course, the coolant fluid removes the required heat from the interior and exterior of the extrudite allowing this product to cure/set-up in this single operation.

Inventor: DEN UYL HENDRIK
IPC: B29C45/38
Filed: 1994-02-02
Abstract: Injection mould comprising at least two mould sections (2, 3) between which a mould cavity is delimited. One (3) of the mould sections is provided with ejector means (42) for removing the product after injection moulding.  The other mould section (2) is provided with a gate (5). To enable the solidified sprue to be separated from the moulded article, a bush (8) is also present in which the gate (6) likewise extends. Said bush (8) is constructed to be movable to a limited extend relative to the mould section (2) in which the other part (5) of the gate is made. As a result the sprue can be pulled away from the article in a guaranteed manner. The movement of the bush (8) is controlled by jack means (16, 17). Consequently, controlled breaking of the sprue is possible and the advantage arises that, by releasing the pressure on the jack means (16, 17), no force has to be overcome when the mould is closed.

Title: Process and apparatus for enhancing distribution of nox -reducing chemicals in a high-solids environment
Inventor: COMPARATO JOSEPH R
IPC: B01D53/56
Filed: 1994-05-09
Abstract: Reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions from large scale combus-tors, such as coal-fired boilers and incinerators which produce effluents with high solids concentrations, is improved. High solids loading and other operational factors can cause such large temperature gradients trans-verse to the direction of effluent flow the SNCR cannot be practiced in fashion. The process entails defining a near-wall zone having a temperature effective for SNCR and a central zone where the tempera-ture is too high. NOx-reducing composition is introduced into the effluent within the near-wall zone in fine droplets (30 and 130) and can be intro-duced into the central zone after the gas has cooled or as large droplets effective to survive the high temperature.

Abstract: A system to enable assembly of components to create a smokable cigarette at home by a consumer includes an empty cigarette tube, usually with an attached filter, tobacco product in rod-like form in a generally rod-shaped combiner device. The tobacco product is a supply of tobacco corresponding to the empty space in the cigarette tube with the tobacco wrapped in a disposable wrapper. Only the tobacco and not the wrapper is smoked. The rod-shaped combiner device is self-supporting on a surface such as a kitchen table in a position with its general axis extending upwardly from the table. A slider mechanism on the combiner device grasps the wrapper. In order to assemble the cigarette the smoker inserts the wrapped tobacco supply into the cigarette tube and positions the assembly over the combiner device. The slider mechanism then withdraws the wrapper while holding the tobacco in place to leave a finished cigarette. The finished cigarette is substantially the same as a factory made cigarette in appearance.

Title: Method of Producing Flow Lines in a Sanitary Product
Inventor: KROYER KARL KRISTIAN KOBS
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1994-10-28
Abstract: A method of making sanitary products giving a high wearing comfort is disclosed.  The method comprises steps of forming three superposed interconnected  layers (14, 15, 16).  The outer layers (14, 16) are made of hydrophobic fibers and the intermediate layer (15) is made of hydrophilic fibers. The top sheet of the sanitary product is constituted by the layer (16).  In this outer layer flow lines are made by means of an embossing roller (21) having a pattern of raised ridges.  The ridges are provided with a penetrant which then is applied to the front sheet (16) thereby neutralizing the hydrophobicity of the fibers and thereby providing a pattern of flow lines being hydrophilic and allowing a body liquid to flow through the front sheet (16).

Abstract: A composition for producing a water repellent surface on a substrate such as glass, plastic, metal, organic polymer coated substrates or inorganic coated substrates includes a perfluoroalkylalkylsilane selected from compounds having the general formula RmR'nSiX4-m-n where R is a perfluoroalkylalkyl radical, R' is a vinyl or an alkyl radical, m+n is less than 4, and X is a halogen, alkoxy or an acyloxy radical and a completely hydrolyzable silane or siloxane selected from silanes and siloxanes.  The nonwetting property, as measured by contact angle of a drop of water on the substrate surface treated with the foregoing compound, is more durable than the nonwetting property of a surface treated with the same perfluoroalkylalkylsilane without the completely hydrolyzable silane or siloxane.
