Inventor: SWAILE DAVID FREDERICK
IPC: C08L83/06
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: The present invention is directed to antiperspirant compositions which comprise from about 0.1 % to about 99.9 % by weight of solubilized or solid antiperspirant active and from about 0.1 % to about 99.9 % by weight of a carrier which comprises 1,2-hexanediol, preferably in combination with a volatile silicone liquid carrier and dimethiconol as a coupling agent. The 1,2-hexanediol carrier is a highly effective coupling agent and is milder to the skin when applied topically to the axilla or other areas of the skin as compared to many other polyol-containing carriers. Preferred are antiperspirant compositions containing solubilized antiperspirant active.

Patent CA-2330640-A1 (CA)
Inventor: REHLANDER RICHARD N
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: A card guide which optimizes the flow of forced cooling air, provides for self alignment to a host motherboard and provides for integrated electro-static discharge (ESD) hazard mitigation, includes an elongated body having a groove disposed along a longitudinal axis of the body. The groove is adapted for receiving the edge of an inserted daughters card. The card guide further includes integral, arcuate inner and outer deflectors, which form a channel for redirecting incident air flow toward regions of the daughter card which would otherwise be blocked from the air flow.  Extension deflector assemblies may be situated between card guides to extend the inner and outer deflectors so as to minimize air flow discontinuities in regions between daughter card positions. The end of the card guide that receives the daughter card houses an ESD clip.

Title: System and method for net coding gain of turbo tcm in non-flat snr channels
Inventor: DECZKY ANDREW
IPC: H03M13/25
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: This contribution is to evaluate the net coding gain of a turbo TCM proposed in BI-09081[1] in the non-flat SNR channels specified in BI-116[2]. The simulation results show that the BI-09081 turbo TCM can provide good performance of large net coding gain over uncoded schemes in the non-flat SNR channels. Also this turbo TCM has very low implementation complexity relatively to the other turbo TCM schemes presented so far.

Title: Compact electrostatic coalescer
Inventor: WAYTH NICHOLAS J
IPC: B03C5/02
Filed: 1999-05-31
Abstract: A compact device (50) for coalescing finely dispersed droplets of a conductive fluid emulsified in a stream of nonconductive fluid by the use of a high intensity electric field acting on the emulsion (51) as it flows through a narrow flow gap (58) under non-laminar flow conditions. The emulsion is introduced into the top (52) of a vertically mounted cylindrical vessel or shell (53), and flow through one or more narrow, annular flow gaps (58) formed between one or more electrodes (55), or an internal wall of the device. The broken emulsion is discharged from the bottom of the vessel, after having a short residence time in the high-intensity electrostatic field. The flow of the emulsion in the one or all of the narrow, annular flow gaps is non-laminar to provide substantially smaller equipment size, even with emulsions having high water content therein.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) having special application for gripping and cutting tree limbs around utility lines includes a tubular insert (18) slideably received in the free end of a tubular boom (12). A plate (28) is pivoted about a first pivot axis relative to the insert (18) by a linearly extendable actuator (36) mounted within the insert (18) and mounts a first rotary actuator (38). A second rotary actuator (58) is mounted to a U-shaped mount (48) which is pivoted about a second pivot axis to the first rotary actuator (38) and rotates a working head (96) 360° about a third pivot axis. Gripping arms (78) are fixed to shafts (74) rotatably mounted in the working head (96) about axes perpendicular to the third axis, with the shafts (74) being rotated by a single linearly extendable actuator (82) extending between crank arms (80) fixed to the shafts (74).

Inventor: BAIER MICHAEL
IPC: B61J3/08
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning railroad freight cars at specified positions while using robust positioning devices. To this end, the  one end of a train is prepositioned inside a comparatively wide area. A heig ht- adjustable bolt (11) of a buffer device (10) is activated. Afterwards, the locomotive pulls the train in a direction of travel until the activated bolt  (11) engages with a counter-buffer (20). The locomotive then exerts an additional tractive force so that the train is lengthened, whereby the front  end of the first car, thus of the car coupled to the locomotive, is arranged  in the area of another buffer device (10'). A bolt (11') of the additional buffer device (10') is subsequently activated in a similar manner and is displaced downward. The locomotive now decreases the tractive force so that the train is drawn together and so that the bolt (11') comes to rest on the counter-buffer (20'). The relative position of each individual car (1 to 6) coincides, with a tolerance of less than 5 cm, with the specified position. The described positioning can be effected in the same manner by applying a pressure pretension onto the train.

Abstract: A brake fluid pressure retaining apparatus RU is mounted on a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission CVT and a driving motor control unit DCU. The driving motor control unit switches the magnitude of creep driving force between a greater condition and a smaller condition in accordance with a depression of the brake pedal, so that the driving force is made smaller at a depression of the brake pedal than at a release of the brake pedal. The brake fluid pressure retaining apparatus continuously retains brake fluid pressure within a wheel cylinder WC after releasing a brake pedal BP. The retained brake fluid pressure is released after the driving force increases to the greater condition and when a first setting time TM1 passes. When undesirable backward movement of the vehicle is detected by a backward movement state detection device BKD, the retained brake fluid pressure is released after a second setting time TM2, which decreasingly changes from a time longer than the first setting time in accordance with a throttle angle signal V_.theta.TH, passes instead of the first setting time.
