Title: Gasket
Inventor: KUROKI YUICHI
IPC: F16J15/12
Filed: 2002-02-13

Abstract: Bardeau de toiture à grande résistance au vent et à la pluie, qui comprend deux bandes adhésives transversales. Une première bande adhésive discontinue rattache le bord inférieur d'un bardeau recouvrant au bardeau sous-jacent. D'autre part, une bande d'étanchéité adjacente au bord supérieur d'un bardeau sous-jacent forme un joint avec le bardeau recouvrant pour empêcher que la pluie, poussée par le vent, ne pénètre jusqu'au tablier du toit. Le chevauchement est ainsi réduit, permettant en retour de réduire la taille des bardeaux ou d'accroître la surface couverte par un bardeau. Les parties exposées de la bande d'étanchéité accroissent la résistance à l'érosion des bardeaux sous-jacents.

Title: Surface roughness quantification of pharmaceutical, herbal, nutritional dosage forms and cosmetic preparations
Inventor: KHAN MANSOOR A
IPC: A61K9/107
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: Dosage forms are identified based on a comparison of surface roughness parameters. One or more of the following surface roughness parameters are measured: 1) mean peak to valley height (Rz);2) geometric average height fro m a mean line (Rq);3) maximum profile peak height (Rp);4) roughness depth (Rt);5) and arithmetic mean roughness (Ra). The surface roughness parameters of a first dosage form are determined and compared to the surface roughness parameters of a second dosage form. This method provides a way of "fingerprinting" dosage forms to help identify adulterated and misbranded drugs. In addition, a variety of characteristics relating to composition and process for making the dosage form may be determined by the quantitative method.

Title: Method and apparatus for confining leaks in a pipe connection
Inventor: PIRART RICK
IPC: F16L21/06
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: A method for controlling fluid leaks in a pipe connection. A first step involves providing a clamp having a circular clamping face with a diversion channel positioned in the circular clamping face and a drain outlet in communication with the diversion channel. A second step involves clamping the clamp around a pipe connection so that any fluids leaking from the pipe connection can only escape by being diverted to the diversion channel. A third step involves positioning a container relative to the drain outlet, so that any fluids passing through the drain outlet from the diversion channel are captured in the container.

Title: Colloidal nanocrystals with high photoluminescence quantum yields and methods of preparing the same
Inventor: PENG XIAOGANG
IPC: C09K11/54
Filed: 2002-07-30
Abstract: The present invention provides new compositions containing colloidal nanocrystals with high photoluminescence quantum yields, new synthetic metho ds for the preparation of highly luminescent colloidal nanocrystals, as well as methods to control the photoluminescent properties of colloidal nanocrystals . For example, this invention encompasses as-prepared nanocrystals that luminesce between about 550 nm and about 675 nm and exhibit a photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) greater than or equal to about 40 %. In some embodiments, PL QY between about 50 % and about 80 % are obtainable for nanocrystals that luminesce between about 600 nm and about 650 nm. The n ew synthetic methods disclosed herein allow photoemission brightness (quantum yield) to be correlated with certain adjustable nanocrystal growth parameter s associated with a given synthetic scheme. The PL QY of as-prepared CdSe (and other) semiconductor nanocrystals increases monotonically with time in the early stages of the crystallization process, and then gradually decreases after attaining a maximum point. The time at which a maximum PL QY is attain ed is referred to as the PL bright point. The position of this bright point, th e PL QY value at the bright point, the FWHM of the PL spectra, and several oth er parameters of the growth process of the CdSe nanocrystals are all strongly dependent on the initial Cd:Se ratio of the precursors in the solution, and certain other experimental parameters. This bright point is different from t he point of minimum polydispersity of the nanocrystal sample, referred to as th e focusing point of size distribution. CdSe nanocrystals synthesized by this alternative method represent a series of excellent emitters in the orange-re d color window in terms of their PL QY, the FWHM of the PL spectra, and the stability of the emission.

Abstract: A battery terminal with high torque resistance utilizing three sided frusto-conical recesses and mating protrusions extending from the battery terminal and method of making the terminal by a cold forming process that forms a finished battery terminal from a preworked lead slug by driving one end of a punch through the slug to remove excess material and form an axial through hole, a second and third portion of the punch to close the die chamber and a fourth portion of the punch to radially expand the lead slug into a finished battery terminal. The dies for forming the battery terminal include a movable multiple-segmented die for collapsing radially inward around the slug and a frusto-conical die for forming the top portion of the battery terminal. An ejector sleeve removes the finished battery terminal after the cold forming process.

Title: Composition for use in sealing a porous subterranean formation, and methods of making and using
Inventor: STICHMAN ROBERT W
IPC: C09K8/508
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A composition for sealing porous subterranean formations comprises a mixture of a water-swellable clay and a water insoluble, water absorbent, water-swellable polymer, wherein the mixture is coated with a material that is resistant to penetration by water. The water penetration resistant material helps the delay the onset of swelling of the clay and polymer until it reaches the formations intended for sealing. Mixing the clay with the water-swellable polymer prior to coating assists in coating of the water-swellable polymer with the water penetration resistant material. The coated mixture can be suspended in an aqueous liquid, and then pumped into a subterranean cavity to seal porous formation therein.
