Title: Dispenser with flow control
Inventor: KAUFMAN JOHN G
IPC: B67D1/00
Filed: 1995-11-08
Abstract: Dispensers are provided of the type which include a flow path through which liquid must pass to leave the dispenser. After the dispenser has been actuated to dispense, the flow path then receives reverse flow as the dispenser recovers ready for the next dispensing. This reverse flow limits the possibility of dripping from the dispensing outlet. A flow controller in the flow path automatically adjusts to have little or no interference to the flow of liquid leaving the dispenser and then positions itself to slow down the rate of reverse flow into the dispenser. The dispenser is suitable for more viscous liquids.

Title: Electrostatically controlled tunneling transistor
Inventor: GRUPP DANIEL E
IPC: H01L45/00
Filed: 2000-04-21
Abstract: A transistor operated by changing the electrostatic potential of an island disposed between two tunnel junctions. The transistor has an island of material which has a band gap (e.g. semiconductor material). Source and drain contacts are provided. The transistor has a first tunnel junction barrier disposed between island and source, and a second tunnel junction barrier disposed between island and drain. The island is Ohmically isolated from other parts of the transistor as well as a substrate. A gate electrode is capacitively coupled to the island so that a voltage applied to the gate can change the potential of the island. The transistor has n- and p-type embodiments. In operation, applying a gate voltage lowers (e.g., for positive gate bias) or raises (e.g., for negative gate bias) the conduction band and valence band of the island. When the conduction band or valence band aligns with the Fermi energy of the source and drain, tunneling current can pass between the source, island and drain.

Title: Device for introducing a predetermined dose of additive into a packaged liquid
Inventor: FRUTIN BERNARD DEREK
IPC: A61J1/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for introducing an additive material (131) in the form of a liquid or granulated solid into a liquid (40) stored in a first container (150). The additive component (131) is stored separately from the liquid (40) in a dip tube or conduit (130). The dip tube (130) is a resilient hollow tubular member and has a valve (300) at one end, adapted to open when the dip tube (130) is subject to internal pressure to allow the passage of said additive material (131) therethrough. The valve prevents the additive material (131) from leaking or dripping into the liquid (40) in the first container (150) when the dip tube and first container are at the same pressure, but which allows the passage of liquid or pourable solid additive from the dip tube (130) into the liquid (40) in the first container (150) when the dip tube is pressurised by introduction of propellant fluid (116, 516). A second valve (520) can be used to prevent the additive material (131) from leaking or dripping into a second container (150) which is the source of the pressurised propellant fluid (116, 516).

Based on the multicast address, the site can participate in traffic targeted for the multicast address and, consequently, for the talk group. In this manner, mobility Processing is decentralized, system calability is improved and call setup delays are minimized.

Abstract: Use is made of a device (15) with a clamping and denting unit (16) and with an end-expansion and ironing unit (17). A starting tube (1) is first of all fixed locally by means of the clamping and denting unit (16). An ironing ring (30) is then moved along a freely projecting end section (31) of the starting tube (1) with the aid of an ironing cylinder (22) of the end-expansion and ironing unit (17), and a mandrel (26) is then driven into the end section (31) with the aid of a mandrel cylinder (21) of the end-expansion and ironing unit (17). Once the mandrel (26) has reached its end position, in which the inside diameter and the outside diameter of the end section (31) are enlarged, the ironing ring (30) is drawn over the end section (31), the outside diameter being reduced to the original outside diameter of the starting tube (1). Following this, the mandrel (26) too is withdrawn from the end section (31) and two dents are produced on the outer circumference of the end section (31) of the starting tube (1) with the aid of the clamping and denting unit (16). Together with a drawing point produced by forming the free end of the starting tube (1), these dents form a plug chamber into which are embedded a plurality of drawing plugs that interact with drawing dies during the cascade drawing. <IMAGE>
