Title: Method for cleaning and decontaminating polyesters
Inventor: SCHWARTZ JOHN A JR
IPC: C08J11/06
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: A method for treating polyesters comprises combining discrete particles of a polyester with an alkaline composition such that the alkaline composition coats the polyester particles. The particles are then heated in an environment that is at least substantially free of water. The method can be effectively used in cleaning, decontaminating and even increasing the intrinsic viscosity of polyester materials. Moreover, when used in the recovery of polyester materials containing contaminants and/or impurities, the method can provide a superior polyester product both in terms of intrinsic viscosity and color.

Patent CA-2346540-A1 (CA)
Title: Water-resistant cable
Inventor: ANELLI PIETRO
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1999-10-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a cable, in particular an optical fibre cable, which is resistant to the radial permeation and to the longitudinal propagation of water. This cable comprises a water-soluble polymer material, characterized in that the said material is a water-swellable and water-soluble material. In particular, this cable is characterized in that, following the ingress of water into this cable, the propagation of water is impeded on account of the combined effect of the swelling of the water-soluble material and the formation of an aqueous solution of the said material which has a predetermined viscosity, so as to impede the passage of the residual water.  Preferably, the water-soluble material is chosen from polyacrylamide, modified polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof, the material preferably being a vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate copolymer. The material can advantageously be extruded to form tubular elements for containing optical fibres, for example two-layer tubular elements in which the inner layer is made of water-soluble material and the outer layer is made of a conventional polymer such as PE, PP or PBT.

Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: A snap disk formation assembly (10) and method provides a feedback control o f a snap disk form station (12) in communication with an exercise station (14)  coupled to a feedback station (16). A disk blank is inserted into a pocket a nd loaded into a dial fixture which travels along a communication axis between the form station (12), the exercise station (14), and the feedback station (16). The pocket holds the metal disk while a snap disk reset side and a tri p side are formed and exercised. A feedback station (16) determines actual sna p forces for one or both sides of the disk and provides feedback control to th e form station (12) via a controller configured to accept snap disk formation parameters and adjust the operation of apparatus stepper motors (20, 22) to produce a snap disk within the accepted parameters. Logic driven controls employ adaptive learning to efficiently locate the stepper motors (20, 22), in a real time as incoming material properties used to form the snap disk chang e, thereby eliminating trial and error fabrication methods.

Abstract: Rbx1, an evolutionarily conserved Cullin-interacting RING-H2 finger protein, has been discovered. Mammalian Rbx1 has been identified as a component of the CUL2-containing VHL complex. An Rbx1 homolog from S. cerevisiae has also been identified as a subunit and activator of the Cdc53-containing SCFCdc4 ubiquitin ligase required for ubiquitination of the cdk inhibitor Sicl and for the G1/S cell cycle transition in yeast, providing a link between the multiprotein VHL tumor suppressor complex and cellular ubiquitination. The Rbx1 protein acts as a cellular marker useful (1) in detecting a possible predisposition to certain carcinomas, (2) as a molecular target for treating those carcinomas therapeutically, (3) as a target for inhibition by drugs that manipulate the growth of cells, and (4) as a research tool to better understand the various complex mechanisms of cell ubiquitination, binding of certain activator proteins, fibronectin deposition and other aspects of the cellular division process.

Title: Silver vanadium oxide having low internal resistance and method of manufacture
Inventor: PALAZZO MARCUS
IPC: H01M4/06
Filed: 2001-12-24
Abstract: The current invention relates to the preparation of an improved cathode active material for non-aqueous lithium electrochemical cell. In particular, the cathode active material comprises .epsilon.-phase silver vanadium oxide prepared by using a .gamma.-phase silver vanadium oxide starting material. The reaction of .gamma.-phase SVO with a silver salt produces the novel .epsilon.-phase SVO possessing a lower surface area than .epsilon.-phase SVO produced from vanadium oxide (V2O5) and a similar silver salt as starting materials. Consequently, the low surface area .epsilon.-phase SVO material provides an advantage in greater long term stability in pulse dischargeable cells.
