Inventor: DAVIS KEITH PHILIP
IPC: C07F9/38
Filed: 1998-02-21
Abstract: The reaction of compounds of the formula:
 X 2 O 3 P CHY CZ 2   
where Y and each Z are each H, PO 3 X 2 , SO 3 X or CO 2 X (e.g. vinyl phosphonic acid or
vinylidene diphosphonic acid) with hypophosphorous acid in the presence of free radicals
provides novel compounds X 2 O 3 PCHYCZ 2 PO 2 XH which react with monomers such as vinyl
sulphonate, vinyl phosphonate, vinylidene diphosphonate and acrylic acid to form telomers
useful for scale inhibition, especially barium scale in oil wells. The polymers show better
absorption to rock than PVSA and better thermal stability than random copolymers
containing equivalent phosphorus.

Abstract: A method of assembling an optical device (10;142) for coupling
optical fibers to a corresponding number of input/output ports of a stack of
optical elements includes utilizing at least one controllable multi-state optical
element (22;138 and 140) to selectively switch the optical coupling among
the ports. The controllable multi-state element is one element within a stack
of polarization-manipulating elements having a configuration that allows the
condition of the multi-state element or elements to dictate the optical coupling
among the ports. In the preferred embodiment, the multi-state element is a
Faraday rotator. The method may be used in either or both of a quality
control application or a fiber-to-port alignment application. In the quality
control operation, the stack of polarization-manipulating elements is tested to
verify proper operation with respect to separating and selectively recombining
polarization components (114,116,118 and 120) of input beams. In the
fiber-to-port alignment application, the fibers (12 and 14;144 and 146)  on
the same side (16) of the stack are first fixed in a parallel relationship with a
known center-to-center distance that is equal to the center-to-center distance
between corresponding ports of the stack. By optically aligning one of the
fibers on the forward side of the stack with the fibers (18;154) on the
rearward side (20) of the stack, at least one other fiber is automatically
brought into registration with its corresponding port. 
In one embodiment the stack of said polarization-manipulating elements
is arranged to form an optical circulator (10;142).

IPC: H01F7/06
Filed: 1998-02-13
Abstract: An electric voice coil actuator includes two coils slidingly mounted on a
ferromagnetic housing. The coils, which are connected to each other in most
applications, are mounted co-axially for linear reciprocal movement in
respective magnetic fields. The north poles of a first pair of magnets are
affixed to the housing to create the magnetic fields in which the first coil
moves. The south poles of a second pair of magnets are affixed to the
housing to create the magnetic fields in which the second coil moves.
Alternately, the coils can move in the same magnetic field. Opposing poles of
the pairs of magnets are affixed to the housing to prevent magnetic saturation
of the housing. The coils are electrically connected to an electric current
source to produce magnetic fields that interact with the magnetic fields of the
magnets to cause movement of the coils. The electric current source may be
electrically connected in parallel to each coil, to cause substantially identical
movement of the coils. The coordinated movement of the two coils produces
more motive force than one coil. Alternatively, the coils may be electrically
connected to separate electric current sources. Employing separate current
sources permits using the second coil to oppose the movement of the first
coil, to brake the motion of the coils for more accurate positioning of the coils.

Abstract: A file access system includes a file
opening unit (5) which opens a given file within a
storage device (10) when a file opening request is
issued by an application program (1). A determining
unit (6, S44) determines whether a given file within

request is issued by the application program. When
the given file is determined as having the encrypted
data, a reading unit (6, S50, S51) receives a fixed
length of the encrypted data from the given file and
generates a block of decrypted data of the same size
as the fixed length by performing a decryption wherein
a position of the fixed length of the decrypted data
is determined by a position indicated by the reading
request.

Abstract: First, an optional
barrier layer (14) is created by covering the bottom of a
hole with a film containing titanium nitride doped
with silicon. Second, a wetting layer (16) is created by
covering the side walls of a hole with a film
containing titanium doped with silicon, in a Ti:Si
molar ratio greater than 1:2. Preferably, the wetting
layer is created by sputter deposition using a
titanium sputtering target containing 0.1% to 20% wt
silicon, most preferably 5% to 10% wt silicon. Third,
the hole is filed by depositing a material consisting
primarily of aluminum (22). The hole preferably is filled
by sputter deposition using an aluminum sputtering
target, optionally containing dopants such as copper.
To facilitate filling the hole without voids, the
aluminum sputter deposition preferably is performed
"warm", i.e., with the workpiece at a temperature
below the melting point of aluminum but high enough to
promote reflow of the deposited material.

through holes whereby the inner wall surface (20a) of each of said through holes
(25a) in the upper partition plate (25) is funnel-shaped and each of the heat exchanger
pipes (20) has therein a dispersion plate (50) which has substantially the same width
as the inner diameter of the heat exchanger pipe (20) and which is spirally twisted about
an axis lying at substantially the intermediate portion of the width of the heat exchanger pipe (20).
In another example of the invention, each of the heat exchanger pipes (20) has circumferential
grooves (L) on the inner wall surface thereof. This construction can be also applied to heat
exchanger pipes (12) of an evaporator (4).

Abstract: A lancet assembly (10) includes an injection molded housing (25) having a (30) Gauge metal
stylet (55) that is inserted and bonded therein. Since no molding forces are ever applied to the (30)
Gauge stylet the resulting lancet assembly is the first having an entirely straight small diameter
stylet. Therefore, the lancet assembly with this small straight (30) Gauge stylet causes less pain
than any currently available larger gauge lancets. In addition, when the (30) Gauge stylet is
lubricated after being mounted in the housing the lancet assembly not only causes less pain but
has also been found to provide improved blood flow from the very small puncture wound.
