Title: Surface derivatization of aliphatic polyketones
Inventor: ASH CARLTON EDWIN
IPC: C08J7/12
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: Aliphatic polyketones prepared from carbon monoxide and at last one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon are surface derivatized to improve their properties e.g. tribological, paintability and conductivity properties. The surface of the polyketone is silylated by treatment with an aminosilane, or by reduction of the carbonyl groups at the surface followed by silylation using a halogenated silane or alkoxy silane. Alternatively, the surface of the polyketone is derivatized with an inorganic oxide or hydrous oxide or a combination thereof by reacting the polyketone with an inorganic alkyl, inorganic aryl, inorganic hydride, inorganic alkyl hydride or inorganic aryl hydride, or a combination thereof. The surface may then be silylated.

Title: A sub-assembled clutch bearing and actuating lever
Inventor: HUSSE ULRICH
IPC: F16D13/58
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A clutch bearing is sub-assembled as follows: i) a shaped spring (41, fig 1) is clipped onto lever 21; ii) pre-load spring 73 is then slipped over guide tube 19 until it comes against flange 63; iii) screws 69 are inserted in holes 65 in the flange 63; iv) bearing element 17 is inserted into hole (49, fig 3) in lever 21 and held there by detent noises 59; v) the bearing element 17, including lever 21, is slipped over guide tube 19 so that noise (75, fig 1) slides through one of two diametrically opposed grooves 77 on an inner periphery of sleeve portion 25 of bearing carrier 23; vi) when the noise (75, fig 1) reaches a crankshaft end of the bearing carrier 23, the bearing carrier 23 is turned through an angle α so the noise (75, fig 1) comes into alignment with an axial recess 79 in the crankshaft end of sleeve 25 of bearing carrier 23. The spring 73 urges the noise (75, fig 1) into recess 79 as soon as the parts are released so that the bearing element 17 takes up a predetermined non-rotatable position in relation to the guide tube 19. The bearing is pre-assembled to form a sub-assembly before installation with a gearbox/engine.

Title: Vacuum coffee maker
Inventor: MCNAIR JOHN DUNCAN
IPC: A47J31/047
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: A vacuum coffee maker has a starved electric heating arrangement 13 having a solid body 16 providing a reservoir 17. The chamber is covered by a circular lid 19 that prevents flow of steam directly vertically up a tube 12 from the chamber 17. At the end of a normal heating cycle, the temperature of the body 16 rises rapidly and power supplied to a heating element 18 is automatically turned off under the control of a thermostat 25. The heating arrangement 13 is used without alteration (e.g. to the setting of the thermostat) to keep-warm hot coffee in a lower container 11 after the end of the normal heating coffee-making cycle. The effect of having the lid 19 is that during a keep-warm function, the reservoir is generally starved of liquid because any liquid entering the reservoir is immediately evaporated and this restricts flow of more liquid into the reservoir and hence starves the reservoir.

Title: Heating tip and method of manufacturing same
Inventor: NAKAJIMA MASAHIKO
IPC: B23K3/03
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: A heating tip 1 made of copper or copper alloy includes a cavity 5 for insertion and containment of a heat generating portion 4, the inner wall circumferential surface of the cavity being non-circular in cross-section. The heat generating portion 4 has an outer wall circumferential surface identical to this cross-section of the cavity 5. This cross-sectional shape of the cavity 5 and heat generating portion 4 is preferably polygonal, and may range from trigonal to octagonal. This polygonal shape increases the area of contact between the heating tip 1 and the heat generating portion 4 compared with the standard circular cross-sectional shape, thereby increasing the efficiency of heat transfer to the heating tip 1. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing a heating tip 1 (see figures 2 to 8), wherein the insertion cavity 5, which may have a non-circular cross-sectional shape, is formed by forging using a machine tool such as a header or a press. Preferably the forging method comprises a first step of applying drawing and centring for the tip substrate 2 and a second step of forming the insertion cavity 5. Preferably, a corrosion resistant iron plated layer 3 is applied to the surface of the tip substrate 3 after forming the insertion cavity 5 by forging, but with the opening to the cavity 5 closed to prevent damaging the inside. An electroless plated layer 6, which may be nickel, is preferably applied to at least the inner surface of the insertion cavity 5.

Title: Multilayer crosshead
Inventor: OMI YUZO
IPC: B29C48/49
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: In a conventional multilayer crosshead, there is no monitoring of membrane discontinuities, parison thickness is not constant, and as the crosshead body is not cooled and parison temperature is high, a long time is required for cooling during blow molding. A multilayer crosshead according to the invention includes pressure sensors 60 disposed in at least two positions 40,41 of the annular passage 8-13 so that the flow rate can be controlled to eliminate pressure difference between the pressure sensors. Parison temperature can be lowered to a greater degree by a cooling jacket with a built-in heater disposed in the crosshead body so that a blow molding cycle can be shortened. A throttle valve 30 may be disposed in the in flow inlet of each of the annular passages for adjusting a flow rate of the materials extruded. At least main material layers, a barrier layer, a pulverized layer and adhesive layers may be used as the materials.

Patent JP-H07218346-A (JP)
Title: Method and device for calculating temperature distribution on heating
Inventor: KIMURA MITSUNORI
IPC: G01K7/00
Filed: 1994-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE:To accurately calculate temperature distribution on heating by simulating temperature distribution more realistically by expressing the state of a material to be heated with auxiliary variables and at the same time calculating the temperature distribution using physical parameters of the material to be heated. CONSTITUTION:A substrate is divided into meshes and a variable iphase is used for calculating temperature distribution when performing phase transition from amorphous Si (a-Si) to crystal Si (C-Si), for example, in the Si substrate which is a material to be heated. However, iphase=0 indicates that a-Si is not dissolved yet; iphase=1 indicates that a-Si is completely dissolved into liquid state (1Si); iphase=2 indicates that a-Si completely became C-Si. After iphase is set to 0, temperature distribution is calculated by instructing specific heat, thermal conductivity, etc., of Si as physical parameters and it is checked whether change is made from a-Si to 1-Si or 1-Si to C-Si. Thus, by expressing phase change information by iphase, the temperature distribution can be accurately simulated.

Title: Transmission system of terminal information
Inventor: KUROKI YOSHIKAZU
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1985-01-23
Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable a display terminal to display always correct up-to-date information by quickly transmitting information which may not be fetched because of the generation of a trouble in the display terminal or a circuit. CONSTITUTION:When information is inputted from an input terminal 1, the information is stored in a table 21, a storage flage is turned on, and if the stored information is updated by new information, an updating flag is turned on. A pointer 22 searches the updating status on the basis of the entry of an entry number to be stored to check the ON/OFF of the undating flag. When the updating flag is ON, the pointer 22 sends the information to the display terminal 3, and in case of OFF, decides the absence of the updating information and checks the ON/OFF of a storage flag to check whether the entry of an entry No. stored in a pointer 23 has stored the information or not. If the storage flag is OFF, the operation is returned to the updating status search, and in case of ON, the pointer 22 sends the entry information of the entry No. stored in the pointer 23 as backup information to the display terminal 3 and returns its operation to the updating status search. Said operation is repeated, so that the always up-to-data information is displayed on the display terminal 3.
