Abstract: Adjustable tube-cleaning device (10) has a scraper sub-assembly (16) which includes a substantially annular sleeve (32) on a circumferential outer surface (30) of an elastic core (14) which, in tum, is mounted on a central shaft (12). The sleeve (32) contracts toward a pre-formed, non-loaded configuration in which it has a smaller internal diameter than a diameter of the outer surface of the elastic core. The scraper assembly further includes a plurality of scraping vanes (32) held by the sleeve to the elastic core and extending radially outwardly from the elastic core. Each of the scraping vanes has a scraping edge (54) directed radially away from the elastic core. The elastic core is substantially cylindrical and surrounds the central shaft between anchor (18) and adjustable compression member (26). The scraping vanes in one row of vanes can be placed on an angle relative to a plane perpendicular to an axis of the central shaft.

Title: Improved aqueous cleaning solution and method for removing uncured adhesive residues
Inventor: CALA FRANK
IPC: C11D7/32
Filed: 1999-04-28
Granted: 2009-02-24
Abstract: An alkaline, aqueous cleaning solution which is capable of removing at least a substantial portion of uncured adhesive residues, e.g., epoxy-based adhesives, from a substrate, preferably a metal stencil substrate, contains water, an alkalinity-providing agent and a synergistic combination of surfactants, specifically an N-alkylpyrrolidone surfactant, which is preferably N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone, and an aminocarboxylic acid surfactant, which is preferably N-coco-beta-aminopropionic acid. At an active-concentration ratio of the N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidone surfactant to the aminocarboxylic acid surfactant of from about 1:1 to about 3.5:1 and a total active concentration of at least 0.30 % by weight of the aqueous cleaning solution, the N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidone and aminocarboxylic acid surfactants synergistically improve the ability of the solution to remove uncured adhesive residues from the substrate, even at relatively low wash temperatures, e.g., from about 70 °F to less than about 135 °F.

Abstract: A networked device shares a single IP address with a separate networked device. The networked device examines a port number of a received IP packet.  The networked device routes the IP packet to an application on the networked device if the port number of the received IP packet corresponds to the application. Otherwise, the IP packet is routed to the separate networked device. The networked device also originates IP packets including as an origination address an IP address assigned to the separate networked device.  Alternately, the IP address may be "shifted" to between the networked device and a separate networked device by blocking transmitted IP packets originating in the separate networked device, and originating IP packets, which include as an origination address an IP address assigned to the separate networked device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une cuve à circulation pouvant être utilisée dans la synthèse de sondes d'ADN sur une surface active du substrat. La cuve comporte une base dotée d'une ouverte de fenêtre centrale et une surface d'enregistrement contre laquelle peut être fixé le substrat. Un joint d'étanchéité doté d'une ouverture centrale définissant une zone active est monté sur la surface active du substrat et comporte des ouvertures d'extension d'entrée et de sortie qui s'éloignent de l'ouverture centrale. Un bloc de pression est placé contre le joint d'étanchéité pour fermer complètement un volume actif entre le bloc de pression, les parois périphériques de l'ouverture centrale dans le joint et la surface active du substrat. Une presse est montée sur la base de façon à presser le bloc de pression contre le joint d'étanchéité et le maintenir en position. Des canaux situés dans le bloc de pression s'étendent aux ouvertures d'extension dans ledit joint pour permettre l'écoulement de réactifs dans le volume actif et hors de ce dernier, volume qui est limité à l'épaisseur du joint et qui peut ainsi être réduit. La presse peut comporter une vis de pression qui peut être tournée de façon à appuyer contre le bloc de pression pour le maintenir en position, ou tournée de façon à libérer le bloc de pression du joint, permettant un remplacement facile et rapide des substrats.

Granted: 2010-07-13
Abstract: The invention is related to a method in a communication network for handling traffic, such as data packets, from source nodes to destination nodes, via user selectable relay nodes. The relay nodes form an overlay network of nodes operated and managed by an overlay network operator. Communication between relay nodes relies on using packet forwarding services of intermediate networks being operated and managed independently by other operators. For any source/destination pair the overlay network operator may select an appropriate sequence of relay nodes to be passed depending on the required quality of service and the performance of different intermediate networks. The invention enables the control of the spreading of traffic between any two end-points over several alternative relay routes.
