Title: Sol-gel process using porous mold
Inventor: GANGULI RAHUL
IPC: C01G30/00
Filed: 1999-10-07
Granted: 2003-08-21
Abstract: A sol-gel process for producing dry porous metal oxide monoliths, e.g., sili ca glass monoliths, in which the successive process steps of gelling, aging and  drying all occur within a mold formed of a porous non-organic-polymer material, e.g., graphite. The mold is inert to the gel solution and has sufficient strength to withstand the temperatures and pressures encountered during the process. The mold and gel thereby can remain within a sealed autoclave during these process steps, and mechanical handling of the mold an d the gel are minimized. This substantially enhances the process' efficiency. Alternatively, the mold can have a non-porous inner skin to enhance ease of cleaning of the mold, and of removal of the gel.

Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE EDWIN
IPC: C07C45/82
Filed: 1987-06-12
Granted: 1991-07-18
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB87/00408 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 21, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 21, 1988 PCT Filed Jun. 12, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/00179 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 14, 1988.Continuous process for hydroformylation of olefins containing, typically, from 6 to 20 carbon atoms to produce the corresponding aldehydes. The rate of formation of high boiling aldehyde condensation products is minimized by use of a high boiling inert solvent whose boiling point, at the pressure prevailing in the product recovery zone, lies intermediate between that of the highest boiling aldehyde product produced in the hydroformylation reaction and that of the ligand, as well as by maintaining the concentration of product aldehyde at or below a predetermined minor amount. In this way the length of a production run can be significantly extended before it becomes necessary to shut down the plant due to accumulation of high boiling aldehyde condensation products.

Title: Correction of positional errors by a multi-surface rotating mirror
Inventor: JUERGENSEN HEINRICH
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 1981-12-07
Granted: 1985-01-31
Abstract: Positional errors are corrected for a light beam which is deflected point and line-wise across a scanning surface by a polyhedral rotating mirror. For each mirror surface, the positional errors are measured in the line direction and perpendicular thereto at a plurality of measuring points oriented in the line direction in the area of the scanning surface. Correction values are generated which, during simultaneous error measurement, are changed until the positional errors are compensated by means of correction elements. The determined correction values are stored and are read out for continuous correction during the actual operation synchronously with the mirror surfaces simultaneously located in the beam path. Light deflectors are employed as correction elements. Employing the rotating mirror in a recording arrangement, transit time elements controlled by the correction values are disposed as correction elements in the signal path of the image signal for the correction of the positional errors in the line direction. If the image signal is stored, the frequency of the read clock can alternately be changed as a function of the correction values. The method is very accurate so that, in particular, errors caused by uneven mirror surfaces are corrected.

Title: Isotopically pure single crystal epitaxial diamond films and their preparation
Inventor: BANHOLZER WILLIAM FRANK
IPC: C30B25/02
Filed: 1991-06-20
Granted: 1993-10-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the production of single-crystal diamond consisting of isotopically pure carbon-12 or carbon-13. The product is believed to be like that diamond product in application Serial No. 448,469, but is made by a different method. In the present invention, isotopically pure single-crystal diamond is grown on a single crystal substrate directly from isotopically pure carbon-12 or carbon-13. One method for forming isotopically pure single-crystal diamond comprises the steps of placing in a reaction chamber a single crystal substrate heated to an elevated CVD diamond-forming temperature. A gaseous mixture of hydrogen and a hydrocarbon of isotopically pure carbon-12 or carbon-13 is provided in the chamber. The gaseous mixture then is at least partially decomposed in the chamber to form an isotopically-pure single crystal diamond layer on the single crystal substrate disposed therein. The thus-formed isotopically-pure single crystal diamond layer optionally may be removed from the single crystal substrate. Another method for forming isotopically-pure single-crystal diamond comprises diffusing isotopically-pure carbon-12 or carbon-13 through a metallic catalyst/solvent under high pressure to a region containing a single crystal substrate to form an isotopically-pure single-crystal diamond layer on said single crystal substrate. The single crystal substrate is stable under the high pressure and elevated temperatures used during the diffusion process. The single crystal substrates optionally may be diamond, including the isotopically-pure single-crystal diamond films formed by the inventive method disclosed herein, thus forming multi-layered diamond structures.

Title: Arrangement for obtaining reliable anchoring of a threaded implant in bone
Inventor: CARLSSON LENNART
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 1998-11-03
Granted: 2002-03-21
Abstract: In an arrangement for obtaining reliable anchoring of a threaded implant in dentine, a hole is made in the bone substance. In the side wall of the hole it is possible to establish an internal threading which can cooperate with an external threading on the implant. The implant threading is arranged to force the bone substance out in essentially radial directions as a function of the extent to which the implant is screwed into the hole. The threading is arranged to effect greater forcing out of the bone substance at the outer parts of the hole than at the inner parts of the hole. The degree of forcing out is adapted in relation to the softness of the bone in order to achieve the reliable anchoring. Along at least part of the longitudinal direction of the implant, the implant threading can be given a non-circular configuration for the purpose of obtaining improved rotational stability in soft/weak bone.

Title: Data slip monitoring in transmission path - uses single check bit with sequential level changes after consecutive data blocks
IPC: H04J3/07
Filed: 1972-04-11
Abstract: The data slip monitoring circuit is intended for data transmission systems and uses a check signal comprising a single bit that has a given logic level for each successive data block. After two consecutive data blocks the logic level changes. At the receiver these changes are monitored and a sequence of three identical check bit levels initiates a repeat of one signal. The check bit monitor consists of Exclusive-OR and AND-gates and two flip-flops. The advantage lies in using only a single check bit, especially in the more simple systems.
