Title: Method and Apparatus for Retreading a Tire
Inventor: KING MICHAEL J
IPC: B29C41/04
Filed: 1993-06-21
Abstract: A tire recapping and retreading method and apparatus that includes a rigid, segmented tread mold. The mold is retained in place over the tire carcass and uncured tread material by a resilient elastic tension band or prestressed metal tension springs. Further retaining force is provided by a resilient envelope to complete the formation of the retread when the tire and apparatus is placed in a hot air oven. The use of the rigid segmented mold described eliminates the distortion of the tire carcass by the mold.

Abstract: A plywood layup system for assembling veneer plies includes a carousel feeder that supplies core veneer plies to an accumulator gate system. The accumulator gate system accumulates one or several plies into a predetermined ply assembly pattern before releasing the accumulated plies. A glue application system is controlled to apply glue to either or both sides of a core veneer ply to allow many different assemblies to be made. The accumulated plies can be dropped aligned with and synchronized with a ply or assembly of plies, to form a complex assembly. The accumulator gate system can be arranged above a conveyor carrying passing plies or partial assemblies from other veneer supplying devices. Two carousels and accumulator gate systems can be arranged in tandem to provide more complex patterns of assembly. Long grain veneer plies can be interspersed with the core veneer plies while on the accumulator gate system, and the carousel holds the approaching core veneer plies at angles that allow the insertion to be performed easily.

Title: Transfer Apparatus
Inventor: AKIRA TOSHIRO
IPC: G03B27/46
Filed: 1995-04-11
Abstract: As a negative film 2 having a multiplicity of perforations provided therein at equal intervals is being transferred, its perforations are detected with a detecting means 4 which in turn produces a corresponding pulse signal. The pulse signal is then fed to a controller 5 which in turn calculates the number of clock pulses for each 40 pulses of the pulse signal and determines a transfer distance per clock pulse. Meanwhile, the reference transfer distance is obtained from an interval between the perforations x 40. A difference between the actual transfer distance and the reference transfer distance is calculated and used for controlling the rotating movement of drive rollers 3.

Inventor: BANKER ROBERT O
IPC: H04N21/236
Filed: 1995-04-19
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A headend of a subscription television system includes a video combiner that combines video signals from four separate programs into a composite video signal. The video signals are formatted to produce the composite video signal such that one of the programs appears in each quadrant of the displayed picture. Text data streams are then inserted into the vertical blanking interval of the composite video signal. The composite video signal is transmitted in a channel of a broadband television signal to a plurality of subscriber terminals. A plurality of virtual channels are defined by combinations of quadrants of the composite video signal and quadrants of text from the text data streams. When the subscriber selects a virtual channel, the composite video signal is tuned from the broadband signal, and the text data stream forming the text display of the virtual channel is extracted. An on-screen display uses the text data stream and the composite video signal to generate a display signal whereby text may be displayed in three quadrants and video corresponding to one of the programs may be displayed in the remaining quadrant.

Title: Method of purifying gold
Inventor: HANNA MOURAD MICHAEL
IPC: C22B7/00
Filed: 1995-07-25
Abstract: The present invention is a method of removing impurities from raw gold comprising the step of exposing the raw gold to a leach liquor. The leach liquor is selected to dissolve the impurities from the raw gold without dissolving a significant amount of the gold metal. Preferably, the leach liquor is a solution having a highly acidic dissociation constant, a high oxidative potential and a high tendency to complex cations. The present method may also comprise the additional steps of plastically deforming the gold prior to leaching, and roasting the gold in an oxidizing atmosphere before leaching. The raw gold may be repeatedly roasted and leached until the desired gold purity is obtained.

Abstract: A splice holder assembly of this invention is adapted to fit to a distribution portion of an optical fiber cable splice closure.   The splice holder assembly includes a splice tray with a bottom and sides extending from the bottom.  The sides and bottom of the splice tray define an open-topped enclosure.  In the bottom of the splice tray, splice  organizing  modules  are  mounted.  The  splice organizing modules each have several locations to which a splice can be attached.  The splice tray includes retainers extending from inner surfaces of the sides of the splice tray at a level above the bottom.  The retainers confine optical fibers in a lower portion of the splice tray.  A card is placed and supported in position in the splice tray by the retainers.   The card includes a list or array in which the locations of a splice are written in association with the identities of the optical fibers coupled by the splice.   The card supports at least one splice cassette including a bottom portion and a cover.   To the bottom portion, splice organizing modules are mounted.  The splice cassette includes T-shaped engagements which hold respective protective tubes running from the distribution unit.  The protective tubes house units of optical fibers.  The slack of the optical fibers can be wound in the bottom portion of the splice cassette and the ends of the optical fibers are coupled together with splices inserted and held in the splice organizing modules.   The cover includes depressed portions which engage with the inner sides of the bottom portion.  Hinged tabs of the bottom portion can be folded into engagement with the cover to hold the cover over the top of the bottom portion.  The cover can be provided with a label indicating the locations of splices and the optical fibers coupled at each splice.  A strap wrapped around the distribution unit and the splice holder assembly, holds the stacked splice cassettes in the splice tray and also holds the splice tray into engagement with the distribution unit.
