Patent JP-2705836-B2 (JP)
IPC: G03B42/04
Filed: 1989-08-14
Granted: 1998-01-28
Abstract: A comfort-enhancing improvement upon a known dental film packet having sensitized film and protective opaque sheets enclosed by a light-tight envelope that includes an opposed pair of generally parallel walls covering the sheets, those walls being joined together along facing marginal areas thereof surrounding the sheets so as to define a main body portion and a perimetric edge portion of the envelope. The improvement comprises a pliant bead of substantially non-porous, non-toxic, polymeric elastomeric material, preferably a silicone resin, that is molded in situ around at least part of the perimetric edge portion to encapsulate that part of the edge portion with such material and thereby provide the encapsulated part with a softer, smoother, and more rounded peripheral surface. In the molding process illustrated, the polymeric elastomeric material is injected under pressure into a mold peripheral-channel of circular cross section surrounding the envelope edge portion; and the mold is then heated for optimal, low-temperature, controlled curing of the bead formed therein.

IPC: C07K16/24
Filed: 1994-10-06
Granted: 2002-02-04
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an autocrine growth factor. In particular, it relates to the production, purification and uses of stem cell proliferation factor (SCPF). In various cell lines, the protein of the invention exists in two forms, a soluble form and a membrane bound form which is detectable on the surface of a small percentage of human bone marrow cells and stimulates the proliferation of these cells. Therefore, SCPF may have a wide range of applications including but not limited to augmenting the growth of hematopoietic stem cells. Further, removal of the protein by an antibody may be useful in controlling tumor cell growth.

Granted: 2003-06-30
Abstract: Synthetic gemstones having extraordinary brilliance and hardness are formed from large single crystals of relatively low impurity, translucent silicon carbide of a single polytype that are grown in a furnace sublimation system. The crystals are cut into rough gemstones that are thereafter fashioned into finished gemstones. A wide range of colors and shades is available by selective doping of the crystal during growth. A colorless gemstone is produced by growing the crystal undoped in a system substantially free of unwanted impurity atoms.

IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 2011-04-12
Abstract: The ear trainers are a device invented to hold ears in a desirable position. The ear trainers are designed to fit onto the bow section of the spectacles. The ear trainers are mainly comprised of a single piece of wire/plastic/carbon fibre or any material deemed suitable for the individual, attached to the bow, bent back on itself and looped around the outside of the ears. This allows the bow to act as an anchor point for the ear trainers to be attached to the bow and can be attached using a range of methods.

Title: Plant for manufacturing cement clinker
Inventor: THOMSEN KENT
IPC: C04B7/44
Filed: 2001-07-19
Granted: 2005-10-27
Abstract: Described is a plant for manufacturing cement clinker comprising a preheater ( 1 ) which comprises at least one last cyclone ( 1 d) and at least one next-to-last cyclone ( 1 c) which is connected in series via a gas duct ( 2 c) to and fed with a gas from the last cyclone ( 1 d), a calciner ( 3 ) which comprises at least one inlet opening ( 9 ) for introducing preheated raw meal from the last cyclone ( 1 d), and which is connected to a subsequent separating cyclone ( 4 ), a gas duct ( 2 d) which connects the separating cyclone ( 4 ) to the last cyclone ( 1 d), and which comprises at least one inlet opening ( 11 ) for introducing preheated raw meal from the next-to-last cyclone ( 1 c). The plant is peculiar in that the inlet opening ( 11 ) for introducing preheated raw meal from the next-to-last cyclone ( 1 c) into the gas duct ( 2 d) which connects the separating cyclone ( 4 ) to the last cyclone ( 1 d) in a vertical plane is located under at least one inlet opening ( 9 ) for introducing preheated raw meal from the last cyclone ( 1 d) into the calciner. Hence, without affecting the installation height of the preheater, it will be possible to locate the last cyclone ( 1 d) of the preheater ( 1 ) at an arbitrary height relative to the calciner ( 3 ), and preheated raw meal from the last cyclone ( 1 d) can therefore be introduced at any point into the calciner ( 3 ) without any use of lifting equipment.

Title: Encoding audio signals
Inventor: WHITING RICHARD JAMES
IPC: G10L19/24
Filed: 2001-11-19
Granted: 2007-10-25
Abstract: A system for transmitting audio signals over a telecommunications link generates the signals as two or more alternative feeds, for example at different data rates. The two feeds are encoded using coding methods having a frame structure with different frame lengths. To facilitate switching between the two, the input signal is notionally dividing into temporal portions and each is coded by taking it, plus enough of the next portion to make up a whole number of frames, and encoding it, whereby the encoded portions overlap - at least for one of the feeds. The overlap is lost upon decoding by discarding duplicate material. <IMAGE>

Title: Moulding Materials
Inventor: ELLIS JOHN
IPC: B29C70/50
Filed: 2003-02-14
Granted: 2005-01-27
Abstract: A preform composite moulding material which is used to make moulded components by curing under heat and pressure on a shaped moulding surface is made from a layer of fibrous reinforcing material (1), such as carbon fibre tows, with a first curable resin layer (2) which is applied to one face of the fibrous material. The resin of this first layer only partially impregnates the fibrous material whereby the opposite face is dry. A further resin layer (3) is applied to this opposite face so as to retain surface fibres in position. This further layer (3) is an openwork structure which is of lower weight than the first layer (2) and contains spaces through which the fibrous material is exposed. The openwork structure may be a grid structure with regular spaces, or broken parallel lines, or other arrangements. <IMAGE>
