Title: Process for production of polypropylene sheets or films
Inventor: FUJII ATSUSHI
IPC: B29C48/08
Filed: 1992-01-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a polypropylene sheet or film which comprises passing a molten sheet or film of a polypropylene composition, the composition comprising polypropylene and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a nucleating agent, a finely powdered high melting point polymer, a petroleum resin, a terpene resin, an organic peroxide and a crystalline propylene-based copolymer, between two cooling rolls opposite to each other, the rolls being maintained at a temperature of 10 to 50  DEG C , and being subjected to specular finishing treatment , and adapted so as to convey therebetween a metallic endless belt having a surface roughness of not more than 1.5 mu m under tension , while carrying the sheet or film on the endless belt . In accordance with the present invention, there can be obtained a polypropylene sheet or film excellent in transparency and surface gloss although not stretched. The sheet or film obtained is good in transparency and surface gloss even though it is thick-walled. Moreover the present invention permits to produce the sheet or film as described above at a high speed, and it has an advantage of being excellent in productivity because the process can be carried out at relatively high temperatures compared with water cooling, for example. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-1317395-A (AU)
Title: Process for the catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons
Inventor: JONG KRIJN PIETER DE
IPC: C01B32/40
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: This invention concerns a process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon feedstock. The process comprises contacting a feed mixture comprising the hydrocarbon feedstock and an oxygen-containing gas, which feed mixture also comprises nitrogen, with a catalyst capable of catalyzing the partial oxidation of the hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein the feed mixture also comprises a sulfur-containing compound. This process allows sulfur-containing hydrocarbon feedstocks to be processed without first undergoing a sulfur removal treatment. Accordingly, a process for the preparation of carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen from a hydrocarbon feedstock comprises subjecting the hydrocarbon feedstock in a first stage to a catalytic partial oxidation process as described above and subjecting at least a portion of the product of the first stage in a second stage to a desulfurization process.

Title: Method and device for avoiding interruptions in voice transmissions
Inventor: BRUHN STEFAN
IPC: H04W36/18
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for avoiding interruptions in voice transmission in a cellular communication system. Voice data are thereby divided into segments, and the segments are associated with transmission quanta, so-called bursts. A number of segments is coded in a first transmission mode and is made available for transmission. Said first transmission mode is, for instance, for a transmission at full rate. Additional segments, which follow, are subsequently coded in a second transmission mode and are made available for transmission. The second transmission mode is, for instance, for transmission at half rate. Through the change from a first transmission mode to a second transmission mode, parts of the associated transmission quanta remain unused by applying the so-called interleaving. Said unused transmission quanta are used for performing additional functions, such as initiating a hand-over or FACCH signaling.

Patent AU-2030692-A (AU)
Title: Carrier phase recovery for an adaptive equalizer
IPC: H04B3/06
Filed: 1992-07-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for adaptively equalizing data signals in a communications receiver. An unequalized data signal is demodulated. The demodulated data signal is filtered in an adaptive equalizer (60) that initially updates adaptive filter coefficients using error signals derived from a first algorithm. A carrier lock signal is generated (62, 78) when a phase error of a filtered signal output from the adaptive equalizer reaches a threshold value. The adaptive filter coefficients are updated (74) using error signals derived from a second algorithm instead of the first algorithm in response to the carrier lock signal (72). The first algorithm is a self-recovering equalization algorithm such as the Constant Modulus Algorithm. The second algorithm can be a decision directed algorithm. Carrier phase is recovered without the use of a phase rotator or phase de-rotator, by locating the adaptive equalizer inside of the carrier recovery loop (56). The invention is particularly adapted for use in the recovery of multilevel amplitude modulated data, such as QAM data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vehicle mirror assembly comprising a housing assembly, a mirror unit, a support assembly to support the housing assembly, a power operated pivot assembly between the support assembly and the housing assembly to enable the housing assembly to be pivoted with respect to the support assembly about a generally upright axis (1) between an operative position and a folded position in response to the power operation of the pivot assembly and (2) from the operative position thereof in either direction in response to an unwanted impact blow applied in either direction thereto. A spring biased pivotal control system is disposed between a movable tubular member of the pivot assembly and the support assembly to provide a control resistance to pivotal movement of the movable tubular member and hence the housing assembly connected thereto. A spring biased indexing system is disposed between a motion transmitting member and the movable tubular member to (1) transmit the movement of the motion transmitting member under power to the movable tubular member to thereby move the housing assembly between the operative and folded positions with the control system providing a control resistance and (2) allow the movable tubular member to be moved from the operative position relative to the motion transmitting member in response to an unwanted impact blow applied to the housing assembly in either direction to move the housing assembly from the operative position with the indexing system providing an indexing resistance to such movement which is independent of the control resistance.

Title: Locking sensor cartridge with integral fluid ports, electrical connections, and pump tube
Inventor: SAVAGE DOUGLAS R
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: The present invention is a sensor cartridge into which sensors are installed. The sensor cartridge allows the sensors to be easily and reliably installed into a blood analyzer. The sensor assembly has an electrical connector mounted on the rear side of the assembly. A plurality of inner walls within the housing locate a pump tube assembly and right angle fluid coupling within the housing. An opening in the housing receives a first boss which extends from the blood analyzer. A capture/release arm has an opening through which the first boss protrudes. The arm is resiliently held in place such that an inner edge of the opening is captured within a ring-like groove in the boss that extends from the blood analyzer when the cartridge is installed in the blood analyzer. A portion of the arm extends beyond the housing to allow an operator to press the arm and thus release the edge of the arm from the groove in the boss. Electrical contacts of the connector on the rear side of the sensor assembly are aligned to mating electrical contacts of the blood analyzer as the sensor assembly is being installed by alignment of the boss which extends from the blood analyzer to mate with the boss which extends from the housing, and alignment of two male fluid connectors. Accordingly, the electrical contacts of the sensor assembly will be in close alignment with the electrical contacts of the blood analyzer as the contacts approach one another.
