Title: Process for the preparation of alkylphosphonous acid diesters and/or dialkylphosphinous acid esters
Inventor: SCHEFFEL GUNTER
IPC: C07F9/46
Filed: 1990-04-09
Granted: 1992-03-12
Abstract: The abovementioned compounds are prepared by reacting trialkyl phosphites with phosphorus trichloride and/or monoalkyl esters of dichlorophosphinous acid at -20 to +100 DEG C followed by immediately reacting the product with alkylmagnesium chloride or alkylmagnesium bromide at -60 to +50 DEG C, followed by removing the desired compounds from the distillate of the volatile compound. This allows dialkyl esters of alkylphosphonous acids and monoalkyl esters of dialkylphosphinous acids to be obtained without complicated and costly purification of intermediates. The phosphorus-containing esters obtained, in turn, are valuable intermediates, for example for the preparation of flameproofing agents and crop protection agents.

Title: Hull construction
Inventor: KJERSEM GEIR
IPC: B63B39/06
Filed: 1998-01-07
Granted: 2001-07-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a hull construction for a vessel, especially a drilling and/or production vessel for hydrocarbons. The invention also relates to the application of the hull construction according to the invention.The invention is especially related to designing hulls for single hull ships which are provided for carrying our operations at sea, and especially vessels which are used for drilling petroleum wells, and for intervention and maintenance of this type of well. With the invention, the aim is to provide a hull shape for a vessel which makes the vessel especially well suited for realising these types of well operations in deeper waters and at sea, and so that the vessel can be operative even under difficult weather conditions which are created by waves, ocean currents and winds. The hull design according to the invention will also be well suited for ships which are employed for other current purposes where it is important to control movements of the ship in waves, by way of example in production ships for hydrocarbons, and in ships which carry out seismic investigations of formations beneath the sea bottom.Drilling after oil and gas at sea is carried out either with floating drilling vessels or devices fastened to the bottom The known floating types of vessel can either be half submergible drilling rigs, which are also called "semisubs', or can comprise drilling ships for this type of operation.

Title: Adduct protection assay
Inventor: BECKER MICHAEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-05-23
Granted: 1999-03-25
Abstract: The present invention features an adduct protection assay involving the use of a labelled binding partner and a signal altering ligand. The signal altering ligand can preferentially alter the ability of label which is not part of a binding partner:analyte complex to produce a detectable signal, compared to its ability to alter signal produced from label which is part of a binding partner:analyte complex. The presence or amount of analyte can be determined by detecting the signal produced from unaltered label. The adduct protection assay is very versatile. For example, alteration of signal can be carried out under a wide range of conditions (e.g., pH, temperature, and ionic strength), and both label alteration and signal triggering can be carried out at essentially constant temperature to achieve a high degree of sensitivity. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of preparing current collectors for electrochemical cells
Inventor: MIHARA DAVID ROBERT
IPC: H01M4/75
Filed: 1994-05-18
Granted: 1996-12-19
Abstract: Current collectors having particular utility in alkaline electrochemical cells, particularly zinc/manganese dioxide alkaline cells containing "zero-added" mercury are manufactured by a process involving electroplating conductive wire with indium and then drawing the plated wire to a lesser diameter. The drawn plated wire may then be cold-framed and cut to the desired lengths, typically in the shape of a nail. The drawing increases uniformity of the plating and hence smoothness and lustre, and also increases plating adhesion. Reduction in cell gassing and load voltage instability during cell discharge is thereby achieved.

Title: Speed governor actuated safety device for stopping an elevator car
IPC: B66B5/04
Filed: 1991-09-12
Granted: 1993-07-08
Abstract: A safety apparatus includes a safety device and a centrifugal force speed governor for preventing overspeed conditions of an elevator car in both the downward direction and the upward direction. A bracket attached to the elevator car slidably retains a shaft at right angle to a guide rail attached to an elevator shaft wall. A U-shaped frame is attached to an end of the shaft and rotatably carries a running wheel. A compression spring extends over the shaft between the bracket and the frame to bias the running wheel against the web of the guide rail. On each side of the running wheel, a pair of release levers are rotatably supported to rotate during travel of the car in normal operation. In response to an overspeed condition, the release levers pivot into engagement with a pair of stationary ratchet wheels which are connected with a pair of actuating levers. The ratchet wheels are rotated by the running wheel which movement rotates the actuating levers. The actuating levers each move a release arm and one of the levers is connected to an actuating rod, which in turn is in connected to a release arm of another safety device on the car. The release arms extend into a wedge box of the safety device to actuate wedge-shaped jaws to engage the guide rail. For resetting the safety apparatus, the elevator car is restarted after a safety stop in the opposite direction of travel.
