Patent EP-0844333-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LANERD LAWRENCE L
IPC: E01C23/22
Filed: 1997-11-21
Abstract: A manually pushable line stripping apparatus is designed to
have a first main axle and a second front axle parallel to the main
axle with one wheel on it. Both of the first two axles are fixed
allowing the unit to be pushed in a straight line without any
adjustment. During manufacture, a mechanism is provided to
produce a finished striper with perfect straight line alignment in
spite of variations which may take place during the welding and
production process by providing a fixture which allows the axles to
be produced in absolute alignment of each other. The third axle is
mounted to the rear of the frame or the handle which mounts a
swivelable caster such that when the operator pushes down the
handle, the unit then rides on the caster and the first axle thereby
allowing the unit to be turned, maneuvered or otherwise swiveled
because the front wheel has been lifted from the ground.

Abstract: Estimating the effective displacement of a drill bit fixed at the end of a drill string and rotated in a shaft by surface motors, using a non-linear physical model is based on general mechanical equations with the following stages: (i) the parameters of the model are identified taking into account the parameters of the shaft and the drill string; (ii) the model is reduced to a functional point; and (iii) the linearised model is reduced, keeping only some of the proper modes of the matrix, and the displacement is calculated in real time using the reduced model and at least one parameter measured at the surface. Also claimed is a system of estimating the effective displacement of such a drill bit using only the torsion of the drill string and the speed of rotation and/or the torque.

Abstract: The voltage regulator delivers a controlled output voltage via MOSFET power transistors (M10M, M10L), with the output voltage set relative to a reference potential (VBG). The regulator has two input terminals (EM, EL), each connected to an independent supply source (VM, VL). An automatic selection circuit (11) connects the higher of the input voltages to the regulator input. The terminal connected to the lower supply voltage is automatically isolated from the remainder of the circuit. The selector (11) introduces a small voltage drop, equal to the voltage drop over a single power transistor, between the input and the output of the regulator.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for reclaiming oil from
waste plastic in such a way that thermosetting resins and
solid foreign matter in the plastic will not pose a problem.
This method greatly reduces the burden of presorting the
garbage or industrial waste. To achieve this objective when
oil is to be reclaimed from a waste plastic containing
chlorine compounds, such as vinyl chloride, the plastic must
first be stripped of chlorine. Prior to pyrolysis, while
being conveyed forward in a continuous stream, the plastic is
mixed with heated sand and/or an additive agent to raise its
temperature to 250-350 °C. This creates a product which is
comprised of a mixture of sand and substantially
dechlorinated plastic. The product is mixed with heated sand
to heat it directly to a temperature of 350-500 °C. It is
maintained at this temperature until pyrolysis occurs. In
order to obtain high-quality oil with a low boiling point, a
first gas/liquid separation process separates the product
obtained from the aforesaid pyrolysis into liquid
high-boiling point oil, gaseous low-boiling point oil and low
molecular-weight gases, and recirculates the liquid
high-boiling point oil to the pyrolysis process, and a second
gas/liquid separation process separates the gaseous
low-boiling point oil and low molecular-weight gases into
liquid low-boiling point oil and low molecular-weight gases.
The first and second gas/liquid separation process are
connected in sequence.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un séparateur de faisceau non polarisant (10), constitué d'un empilement multicouche (11) de couches alternées (A, B) faites d'un premier et d'un second matériau. Les couches faites du premier matériau (A) sont uniaxialement biréfringentes alors que celles faites du second matériau (B) sont, éventuellement, uniaxialement biréfringentes ou isotropiques.

Cette invention porte également sur un procédé permettant de fabriquer un séparateur de faisceau.

Title: Low-profile image formation apparatus
Inventor: LEPIOR WILLIAM
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 1997-10-27
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming an image of the periphery of an object with a camera (24) having optics disposed at a working distance that is significantly less than the focal length of the optics, without introducing image distortion. The invention includes two reflecting substrates, a first reflecting substrate (52) and a second reflecting substrate (58). The distance (35) between the first and second reflecting substrates determines the number of times the light rays that form the image will bounce therebetween, and consequently, the number of images of an object periphery that will appear in the field of view (FOV) of the camera. The invention provides an image formation system that can operate within the small or narrow enclosures of some existing wafer fabrication equipment. The invention also provides reduced camera vibration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting a patient on a mattress. The apparatus includes a mattress which has at least one controlled release chamber with a top face and a bottom face. A flexible film of a thin metal foil is linked to the top face, while at least one impedance varying device is linked to the bottom face of the chamber. The impedance varying device is an integral part of a measuring electronic bridge. Changes in the impedance as a result of movement of the top face with respect to the bottom face activates a servo control which increases or decreases the inflation pressure within the chamber to make certain that the distance between the top face and the bottom face of the chamber is maintained at a predetermined distance. The method of this invention includes the steps of providing a mattress having at least one closed or controlled release chamber having a top face and a bottom face, providing a measurement device which includes a flexible film of a thin metal foil linked to the top face of the chamber and cooperating with at least one impedance varying element linked to the bottom face of the chamber, the impedance varying element being integral with a measuring electronic bridge, and measuring spacing between the top face and the bottom face to provide control of the supporting action of the mattress as a function of the patient's morphology and position on the mattress.

Abstract: By estimating the movement direction of a

rotated to thereby form a correct radiation pattern.
Specifically, an apparatus of the present invention
includes reception radiation pattern control section for
providing a reception signal from an antenna with a first
reception radiation pattern by a first control signal,
radiation pattern control section for providing the
abovementioned reception signal with a second reception
radiation pattern by a second control signal based on an
output of movement direction estimating section for
estimating a movement direction of a transmitting side, and
a reception signal processing system having multiplication
section for multiplying the abovementioned reception signal
by the first control signal and the second control signal.
Consequently, even when the movement speed of the
transmitting side or the receiving side is high, by causing
a reception radiation pattern controller or a transmission
radiation pattern controller to respond to the movement to
thereby form a correct radiation pattern, the transmission
and reception performance can be improved.
