Title: Processes for sealing anodised aluminium
Inventor: RENTON STANLEY
IPC: C25D11/24
Filed: 1984-04-09
Granted: 1988-11-17
Abstract: Processes for sealing anodised aluminium carried out in a bath having a pH of at least 7 and in the presence of a smut,inhibiting additive have been discovered to give rapid, efficient sealing without the formation of bloom. Examples of smut-inhibiting additives are phosphonates, benzene hexacarboxylic acid, and the reaction products of an aldehyde or dimethylol urea with sulphonated aromatic compounds. The reduction in time required for sealing reduces energy consumption in the anodising operation.

Title: Multipole differential circuit breaker
Inventor: GUILLON PATRICK
IPC: H02B1/06
Filed: 1995-07-27
Granted: 1998-02-05
Abstract: The modular circuit breaker includes a section (20) which slots into a wire holder in the side of the circuit breaker. The section is made up of two click fit sections (21,22), one of which (21) is shorter than the other. The sections are joined forming a bridge at the rear.   Pushing the click fit sections into channels (15a,15b) engages a shoulder on one channel first, and forms the wire connection. Pushing into the second position locks the wires in place. The wall (23) between the two channels has a brittle zone (24) so that it comes loose if the section is removed from the channel. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for handling and disposal of oil and gas well drill cuttings
Inventor: DIETZEN GARY H
IPC: A47F5/11
Filed: 2000-05-09
Granted: 2002-12-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing drill cuttings from an oil and gas well drilling platform (11) provides for the separation of drill cuttings from at least a volume of the well drilling fluid (i.e. drilling mud) on the drilling platform so that the drilling fluids may be recycled into the well bore. The cuttings are then transferred to a cuttings collection receptacle (e.g. trough (77)) on the platform. The separated drill cuttings are then suctioned with a first suction line (37) having an intake portion (38). The suctioned drill cuttings are transmitted to a processing tank (or multiple such tanks (26-28)) on the platform, each having a tank interior. A vacuum is formed within the processing tank interior with a blower (30) that is in fluid communication with the tank interior via a second vacuum line (34). The tank (26-29) is connected to a floating work boat (20), with a discharge flow line (24). Cuttings are processed within the tank, being chopped or cut into smaller size particles with a pump that is preferably contained within the processing tank. Cuttings are slurrified or liquified in the processing tank, then transmitted from the tank to the work boat via the flow line (24). Multiple holding tanks (26-28) can be positioned on the drilling platform for storage of cuttings until a work boat arrives. The work boat can be provided with one or more high capacity work boat holding tanks (23) (for example 100-1000 barrels) for receiving cuttings from the multiple holding tanks on the drilling platform when disposal is desired. <IMAGE>

Title: Packaging material made of a biaxially oriented polyolefin film
Inventor: DRIES THOMAS
IPC: B32B27/32
Filed: 2001-01-23

Title: Medical laser interconnect system
Inventor: VANNUS TOM H
IPC: A61B18/22
Filed: 1989-10-19
Granted: 1991-07-18
Abstract: The present invention comprises a first interconnect assembly and a second interconnect assembly which detachably connects to the first interconnect assembly. One of the interconnect assemblies includes a shutter for blocking an optical path. The first and second assemblies have surfaces which mechanically co-act to drive the shutter away from the optical path. An optical fiber is connected to one of these assemblies. In the preferred embodiment, the first assembly (13) forms a plug and the second assembly (15) forms an adapter, such as a socket. The socket assembly includes a shutter (183) which is spring-biased to a normally closed position. In this normally closed position, the shutter blocks passage of laser light to an optical fiber (79). The plug assembly includes an appendage (25) having a camming surface (73) which co-acts with a camming surface (142) on the socket assembly so as to drive the shutter to an open position which permits transmission of laser light to the optical fiber.

Title: Method and apparatus for recording a digital signal
Inventor: ODAKA KENTARO
IPC: C07F9/6558
Filed: 1985-07-31
Granted: 1988-11-17
Abstract: in a system for recording and reproducing digital signals on a magnetic tape (2) using a rotary head (1A, 1 B), in which the signals are recorded as a series of oblique tracks (5A, 5B) without guard bands, a pilot signal that controls tracking alignment of a playback head (1 A, 1 B) is recorded at a particular position in a specific pilot signal record region, different from the information signal record region. An erase signal having various recording lengths is also recorded in the pilot signal region such that a start position of the erase signal corresponds substantially to a centre portion of the pilot signal on the adjacent track (5A, 5B). When the recorded tracks are reproduced by a playback head (1 A, 1 B) having a tracing width greateer than the track width, the pilot signals from the adjacent tracks (5A, 5B) will be sampled by sampling pulses generated in response to the reproduced erase signal and compared in level, and the comparison output will be used to control the tracking alignment of the playback head (1A, 1B).

Filed: 1999-07-23
Granted: 2002-05-02
Abstract: A bicycle seat assembly having a functional surface area comprising a main support surface region and a center tactile surface region. At the center tactile surface region there is a raised center surface portion and outwardly facing side tactile surface portions to engage upper rear and side thigh surface portions of the person. There are right and left and primary support zones spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis to support the right and left ischial-tuberosities of the person who is in a seated pedaling position.

Title: Method and apparatus for optical transmission control using compensating channels
Inventor: STEPHENS THOMAS D
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2000-05-19
Granted: 2004-09-02
Abstract: Optical systems of the present invention generally include an optical signal controller disposed along an optical link between two optical nodes. The optical signal controller is configured to provide a monitoring signal from an optical signal passing between the nodes as a plurality of wavelength sub-bands at least one of which includes a plurality of signal channels. The controller generates a compensating channel having an optical power that is a function of the monitoring signal power in the plurality of wavelength sub-bands or total power. The compensating channel is combined with the optical signal to compensate for power variations in the optical signal passing between the nodes. In addition, the compensating channels can be used to transmit communication or system supervisory information between monitoring points and/or nodes in the system.
