Abstract: A belt tensioner for tensioning a drive belt or timing belt comprises an eccentric adjusting member having an end surface thereof constructed and arranged to be mounted directly in surface-to-surface engagement with respect to a belt tensioner mounting surface for an engine frame. A pivoted structure is mounted on the eccentric adjusting member for pivoted movement between a first position and a second position, and a belt tensioning pulley is mounted for rotational movement on the pivoted structure. A coil torsion spring is constructed and arranged to resiliently bias the pivoted structure in a belt tightening direction away from the first position and toward the second position, the eccentric adjusting member being movable during an installation procedure to move the pivoted structure against the bias of the coil torsion spring into a position wherein the belt tensioning pulley is disposed in predetermined static tensioning relation with the belt, at which point the eccentric adjusting member is to be manually fixed. The end surface of the eccentric adjusting member is in sliding surface-to-surface relation with the mounting surface during rotation of the eccentric adjusting member.

Abstract: A coupling assembly for leak proof connection of the ends of two lengths of pipe or tubing. One end of a first pipe is coupled to a coupling box which is connected to or integrally formed on the end of a second pipe. The coupling box has threads for engaging a nut for securing the coupling. The coupling box has a bore for receiving the end of the first pipe. The end of the first pipe has an outer tapered surface for engaging an inner tapered surface of the coupling box to form a metal to metal seal between the first pipe and the coupling box. The bore also contains an engager for coupling the nut to the first pipe. The engager includes a split ring which has a longitudinal slot. The split ring has internal circumferential projections or gripping teeth which are aligned with external circumferential projections or gripping teeth on the end of the first pipe. As the nut is tightened, the split ring is compressed so that the gripping teeth of the split ring are brought into engagement with the gripping teeth or the first pipe. The split ring and the first pipe are then moved relative to the coupling box so that the outer tapered surface at the end of the pipe is forced into metal to metal sealing contact with the inner tapered surface within the bore of the coupling box.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for delivering molecules such as pharmaceutical drugs and nucleic acids into skeletal muscle in vivo. The pharmaceutical drug or nucleic acid is first injected into the muscle at one or multiple sites. Immediately, or shortly after, injection, electrodes are placed flanking the injection site and a specific amount of electrical current is passed through the muscle. The electrical current makes the muscle permeable, thus allowing the pharmaceutical drug or nucleic acid to enter the cell. The efficiency of transfer permits robust immune responses using DNA vaccines and produces sufficient secreted proteins for systemic biological activity to be observed.

Abstract: An improved DC compensation method for use in conjunction with telephony signalling. The method includes defining a frame that includes at least two n-bit codewords. An unsigned codeword is then identified within the frame by applying a rule to the codewords in the defined frame. Next, a sign bit is appended to the unsigned codeword, thereby producing a DC compensating codeword. The sign bit is selected based upon a weighting function of the linear values associated with previously transmitted codewords. The remaining unsigned codewords in the frame are assigned sign bits from user data.

Abstract: Un article absorbant caractéristique comporte une partie centrale absorbante à couches absorbantes multiples, les couches absorbantes interagissant de manière à transférer de préférence le liquide absorbé dans une couche d'imbibition haute saturation désignée. Le fait que le liquide se trouve dans cette couche d'imbibition permet d'accroître le potentiel de cette couche à déplacer le liquide par capillarité en raison du taux de saturation élevé et d'une quantité croissante de liquide disponible. On maintient ou on améliore la capacité d'absorption du système absorbant par rapport à des systèmes actuels en maintenant des taux de saturation faibles dans une deuxième couche du système absorbant lors de salissures aussi fréquentes que possible, tout en assurant des performances d'absorption optimales par un ajustement approprié des propriétés du composite. Le faible taux de saturation de cette couche permet d'assurer un volume de vide pour les salissures entrantes ainsi qu'une grande perméabilité, ce qui permet d'accroître le taux d'absorption du système absorbant dans son ensemble; mais la structure de la couche à faible taux de saturation est aussi équilibrée en vue de conférer un taux suffisamment élevé de tension capillaire pour obtenir assez de rétention de liquide afin d'empêcher des fuites.

Abstract: An article and processes are described for manufacturing a metallurgical pour tube for use in the continuous casting of steel. The article has an erosion-resistant sleeve within a body of the pour tube. An accommodation region allowing for thermal expansion of the sleeve is disposed between the sleeve and the body. The region comprises a gap or a compressible material. As the pour tube is brought to casting temperatures, the region permits the sleeve to expand without fracturing the body of the pour tube. The article may be formed by several processes. A first process describes placing a pre-formed sleeve coated with a spacer material in a body mix and firing the article to form an accommodation region. A second process comprises injecting an erosion-resistant refractory mix into a cavity within the body and firing the article. A third process secures a sleeve within an accommodation region formed by mechanically securing a third component to the body of the pour tube. A fourth process describes using a guide means to segregate a body mix, an erosion-resistant material, and a spacer material, whereby firing produces an erosion-resistant sleeve and an accommodation region within a pour tube body.

Abstract: A method of making a roll (20) of adhesive tape that comprises providing a length of tape having a leading end, a trailing end, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the second side of the tape is at least partially covered with pressure sensitive adhesive and providing a tab (32) having first and second opposite ends having a length between them, a first side, and a second side, wherein at least a portion of the second side of the tab is covered with pressure sensitive adhesive. The method further comprises advancing the length of tape along a tape path, positioning the leading tape end about a central tape roll axis, and circumferentially widing the length of tape about the axis until a penultimate tape layer (22) having a circumference is wound. The adhesive-covered portion of the second side of the tab is applied to the first side of the tape so that the first end of the tab is spaced from the trailing end of the tape length by a predetermined distance that is at least as long as the circumference of the penultimate layer of the tape roll and no longer than a total distance of the circumference of the penultimate layer and the length of the tab. The final layer of the tape length is circumferentially wound around the penultimate tape layer so that the trailing end of the tape overlays the tab between the first and second ends of the tab.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for preparing a rapidly solidifying mixture from a plurality of liquid components and subsequent atomization of the solidifying mixture. The apparatus comprises a mixing chamber (4), a liquid distributor (1',7) and N identical, droplet-forming nozzles (9a,9b) connected to the liquid distributor. The liquids to be mixed can be fed separately to the mixing chamber and the mixing chamber has neither significant back-mixing in the areas in which reactions can occur, nor significant dead spaces in the flow in these areas. The liquid distributor (1',7) is connected to the mixing chamber and divides the mixed stream coming from the mixing chamber equally over the nozzles (9a,9b) without significant back-mixing or dead spaces in the flow, so that the flow properties of the partial streams and their residence time in the liquid distributor are identical.
