Title: Highly crater-resistant high-strength sintered material
Inventor: NAKAI TETSUO
IPC: C04B35/5831
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: a sintered material containing high-pressure phase-type boron nitride and a binder is provided. The high-pressure phase-type boron nitride is contained in an amount of from 50%  to 78% by volume, and the balance is a binder phase. The binder phase comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of nitride, carbide, carbonitride, and boride of Ti, nitride, boride and oxide of Al, carbide and boride of W, nitride, carbide, carbonitride and boride of Co, and carbide and boride of Ni, or a mutual solid solution thereof. The binder phase forms a binder phase which is continuous in a sintered material texture.  The weight of metal components Al, W, Co and Ni which are present as compounds in the sintered material is from 3% to 20% based on the sintered material. The sintered material is excellent in crater resistance and capable of realizing a long tool life, even under the condition that the temperature of the cutting edge becomes high and the impact is large, as in high-speed interrupted cutting of hardened steel where the cutting speed V becomes at least 150 m/min.

Title: Method for producing optical storage media
Inventor: ROSOWSKI RALF
IPC: B29C39/14
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing optical storage media, for example of the CD type, in an at least semi-continuous manner. The inventive method comprises the following steps: continuously coating a plastic film strip (2) with a liquid, UV-curable material, drying the coating by supplying heat until the coating reaches a state in which it is no longer flowable but can still be impressed, and providing the substrate in the shape of a strip. A  surface relief (21a) corresponding to the information to be stored can be impressed on said strip either directly after production of the strip or after a temporary storage. The strip can be impressed between two rolls (9, 10), the roll facing the coated side of the strip being provided with the surface relief. The coating is then cured under exposure to a UV radiation source (11).

IPC: H05H1/54
Filed: 2000-09-07
Abstract: A method and means to produce a force for propulsion comprises a source of electrons (100) and a means to produce electrons having a spatial velocity function having negative curvature; whereas, the gravitating body is comprised of matter having a spatial velocity function having positive curvature where opposite curvatures provide a mutually repulsive force. Electrons having a spatial velocity function having negative curvature are produced by elastically scattering the electrons of an electron beam (113) from atoms at a specific energy. The emerging beam of electrons having a spatial velocity function having negative curvature experiences a force away from the Earth, and the beam (113) moves upward (away from the Earth). To use this invention for propulsion, the repulsive force of the electron beam (113) is transferred to a negatively charged plate (121). The Coulombic repulsion between the beam of electrons and the negatively charged plate causes the plate (121) (and anything connected to the plate) to lift. The craft is made to have angular momentum which is tilted relative to the axis defined by the gravitational force such that acceleration tangential to the surface of a gravitating body is achieved via conservation of the angular momentum.

Title: An illuminating pistol-type device for a plunger actuated aerosol can
Inventor: BOZZO DANIEL
IPC: B65D83/16
Filed: 2002-06-14
Abstract: A pistol-type device for a plunger actuated aerosol can.      The device has a hand-gripping portion with a hollow battery storage area and a pair of dual mounted holes. To power the device a power supply is mounted in the storage area. A plunger actuating lever extends through the hand gripping portion to contact the plunger of the aerosol can and actuate the plunger for spraying an area. The barrel of the pistol-type device extends from the hand-gripping portion and is in electrical communication with the power supply. The barrel holds the illuminating parts such as a light bulb and a lens for producing a light beam to illuminate the area. A can-engaging clip has a locking mechanism for locking the clip around the aerosol can and positioning the plunger actuating lever in direct contact with the plunger of the can. An extension member securely connects the barrel to the clip for solidifying the aerosol can and the pistol-type device as a single unit.

Title: Remotely controlled light displays
Inventor: RANTA STEVE
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: A hand-held transmitter (T) delivers an IR control signal to a receiver (R) that is connected to send the signal to a lighting control module (LCM) within a housing (16). A cable (18) of light scrings (20, 22, 24, 26) and a common conductor (28) extends away from the housing (26) a distance sufficient to provide a desired number of lights (30, 32, 34, 36). All lights (30, 32, 34, 36) may be the same color or each light string (20, 22, 24, 26) may have lights of a color different from the color of any other light string. The receiver conductor 39 may be wound on the cable (18). In use, an AC plug (12) is plugged into an AC receptacle. A first length of wiring (14) and the receiver conductor (39) space the receiver (R) a predetermined distance from the AC receptacle. This allows the receiver (R) to be positioned forwardly of a Christmas tree or other object in which the light display (10) is placed. The window (40) of the receiver (38) is oriented so that it is easily reachable by a wireless control signal that is emitted from the transmitter (T).

The mechanical switch is biased toward a closed position such that, when the bulb is removed from the light unit, the switch closes to provide the alternate circuit path. The switch is displaced to an open position when a bulb is secured to the light unit to break the alternate circuit path and route electricity through the bulb. A shunt assembly having a high resistance element and a retainer can be secured within a socket cavity of the light unit.

IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: A sender of a message may request independent notification of the message to a recipient by requesting such notification in the message itself. After creating such a message with a request for such notification, the sender launches the message into a network for ultimate delivery to the recipient. Upon receipt of the message, the network checks whether the sender requested independent notification of the message recipient. If the network determines that the sender requested independent notification, the network provides such notification to the recipient.
