Title: Method for injection molding, apparatus therefor and moldings produced thereby
Inventor: BAXI INDRA R
IPC: B29C45/17
Filed: 1988-11-04
Granted: 1991-11-14
Abstract: In a process for producing an injection molded product, a stream of plastic material is introduced into a mold space 11 at a first pressure. Gas is stored in a storage chamber 28 at a second pressure which is at least as high as the first pressure. The gas is introduced into the molten stream of plastic material immediately after the molten material has passed the position at which the gas is introduced thereby forming a gas cavity in the molten material. The gas exerts pressure on the surrounding plastic material to urge the material toward the surfaces of the mold space. As the feeding of the plastic material into the mold space continues, the injection of the gas is also continued. The supply of molten material is terminated when the surfaces of the mold space are completely covered by the molten material. A pressure is held within the gas cavity as the plastic material cools. Subsequently, the pressure is released to bring the gas cavity to ambient pressure. The the mold 9, 10 is opened to remove the hollow shaped article. An apparatus for producing an injection molded product is also disclosed.

Title: Safety apparatus
Inventor: COULTER IAN JAMES HAMILTON
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 1995-07-25
Granted: 1998-01-15
Abstract: A ventilator (12) includes a vent (34) having at least a first, closed, state and an emergency, open, state and movable between them by actuators (57) under the control of a local controller (18). The actuators, for example electric motors, are powered solely by a local energy storage means, for example a battery, arranged to be recharged at a rate which is smaller than the rate of discharge when powering the actuators. A monitoring means determines if the energy in the energy storage means has fallen below a first threshold and provides a visual indication of this condition. The controller has a first control mode in which it is not able to move the ventilator (12) to the emergency state except in response to emergency commands, only, and a second control mode in which it is able to move the ventilator between the first state and the emergency mode in response to non-emergency commands to provide day-to-day ventilation, for example. The controller is moved to its first control mode if the battery charge level drops below a second predetermined threshold thereby preventing day-to-day ventilation but allowing opening of the ventilator in the event of a fire. <MATH>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE89/00029 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 24, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 24, 1990 PCT Filed Jan. 27, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO89/07227 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 10, 1989.A method and apparatus for enabling refrigerants, preferably freons, to be emptied from refrigeration systems or heat pump systems with the aid of piston compressor pumps when repairing or scrapping such systems. The compressor suction line is connected to one chamber of a heat exchanger and a pressure reduction valve is connected in the suction line upstream of the heat exchanger. The pressure line extending from the compressor passes to an oil separator and then to the other chamber of the heat exchanger. The fall in pressure in the reduction valve and heating of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger causes the refrigerant to be in a gaseous state when reaching the compressor, which is a prerequisite for safe operation of the compressor. The pressure increase achieved in the compressor pump and cooling of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger enables the refrigerant to be delivered to a container, preferably in a liquid state.

Title: Method for screening substances having IgA induction potential and bacterial strains of genus bifidobacterium
Inventor: YASUI HISAKO
IPC: C12N5/078
Filed: 1990-04-19
Granted: 1993-11-25
Abstract: The present invention is to provide an easy, rapid method for screening a great amount of substances having IgA induction potential. The IgA induction potential herein mentioned means the potential to activate and enhance the activity of IgA production cells to produce secretory-type IgA in response to antigen. The present invention is to provide bacterial strains of genus Bifidobacterium obtained by the method for screening substances having IgA induction potential. More specifically, the present invention is to provide YIT 4061, YIT 4062 and YIT 4063. The three strains obtained by the present invention have strong IgA induction potential. Due to the fact that the Bifidobacterium strains have been known not to show any pathogenicity for humans and animals, the IgA induction potential of the three strains may be considered to be the one as adjuvant actions as non-specific stimulation of antibody production cells to process antigen more effectively, along with antigenicity as foreign bodies of themselves.
