Abstract: A pipeline treating apparatus (350) is disclosed which includes a main frame (352) and a pair of wings (354, 356) pivotally mounted to the main frame for surrounding a pipeline to be treated. Each wing mounts at least one bracket (390, 392) for oscillating motion about a portion of the exterior of the pipeline surface. Each bracket mounts at least one nozzle (382) for treating the outer surface of the pipeline. A single drive motor on each wing can drive a pair of brackets, each bracket being oscillated a different arcuate length than the other bracket, if desired. The number of nozzles mounted on each bracket can be varied to address a specific treatment problem.

IPC: C09J7/02
Filed: 1993-01-29
Abstract: A novel polymeric pressure-sensitive adhesive formulation is provided comprised of a balanced hydrophilic/hydrophobic base polymer compounded with at least one water-soluble tackifying component. The base polymer has a continuous phase copolymer of a (meth)acrylic acid ester of a C₁-C₁₄ non-tertiary alcohol and a polar monomer and a dispersed phase polymeric moiety grafted thereto. Preferably, the base polymer is a polystyrene or poly(α-methylstyrene) grafted polyacrylate. Upon contact of the pressure-sensitive adhesive with excess amounts of water, the water-soluble tackifying component is caused to separate from the base polymer, thus decreasing the ability of the base polymer to function as a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The adhesive may subsequently be easily removed from any substrate to which it has been applied.

Abstract: Capacitive proximity sensors (10) are disclosed that can be fabricated in different shapes, sizes and materials used in a wide variety of applications. Each such sensor includes a sensing electrode (11) and a guard electrode (12). The sensor electrode and guard electrode can be parallel conductors separated by an insulating layer (13), such as a double-sided circuit board shaped to suit the application. One such sensor is transparent for use in conjunction with an optical bar-code scanner. Another sensor is annular in shape for use in conjunction with a telephone transmitter. The sensing electrode and the guard electrode are driven in unison by an RF signal (21). The proximity of an object to the sensor is observed by detecting (in 24) changes in the RF current flowing through the sensing electrode caused by the proximity of an object to the sensing electrode.

Abstract: A delivery catheter (10) for introducing living matter into a body passageway or cavity of a female mammal comprises a hollow, flexible, dual lumen catheter having substantially tubular-shaped collection chamber (44) for holding the living matter. An ejection port (48) is formed adjacent to the distal end (50) of the collection chamber and an actuator port (38) is formed at its proximal end (52). A guide tube (40) having a lumen (42), is positioned coaxially within the collection chamber with the respective distal and proximal ends of the guide tube and the collection chamber joined together in fluid-tight sealing engagements. In an alternate embodiment, the lumina are separated to create a guide wire lumen (42) which is substantially parallel to a transfer lumen. Also. the distal end of the catheter is beveled to recess the opening of the guide wire lumen from the port of the collection chamber in the transfer lumen. In operation, the delivery catheter is inserted into the body passageway over a prepositioned guide wire (66). More specifically, the delivery catheter receives the guide wire through the lumen of its guide tube (40) to advance the delivery catheter along the guide wire. Once the ejection port (48) of the collection chamber is positioned at the desired site in the body passageway, fluid is introduced into the collection chamber through the actuator port (38) to eject the living matter through the ejection port and into the body passageway. The delivery catheter and the guide wire are then withdrawn from the passageway.

Abstract: A class of lossless data compression algorithms use a memory-based dictionary of finite size to facilitate the compression and decompression of data. To reduce the loss in data compression caused by dictionary resets, a standby dictionary is used to store a subset of encoded data entries previously stored in a current dictionary. In a second aspect data is compressed/decompressed according to the address location of data entries contained within a dictionary built in a content addressable memory (CAM). In a third aspect the minimum memory/high compression capacity of the standby dictionary scheme is combined with the fast single-cycle per character encoding/decoding capacity of the CAM circuit. The circuit uses multiple dictionaries within the storage locations of a CAM to reduce the amount of memory required to provide a high data compression ratio.

Abstract: A shuttering with shuttering boards (1) and connecting means for the same, namely connecting clamps (7) and connecting bolts (11) exhibits shuttering boards (1) with border profiles (2) which have a closed hollow cross-section and each has a stop (5), running on the outermost border of the shuttering board (1), projecting at right angles to the shuttering skin (4) and intended for sealed abutment against a corresponding stop (5) of a neighbouring shuttering board, as well as, on a retaining web (6) which is approximately parallel to said stop (5), engagements locations in the form of shaped recesses (8) for connecting clamps (7) which engage around the border profiles (2) of neighbouring shuttering boards (1). Furthermore, holes (10) for the introduction of connecting bolts (11) are provided at mutual spacings in the stop webs (5) of the hollow border profile (2), in the direction of the longitudinal extent thereof, which connection bolts have, in an end region, protrusions (12) which project radially with respect to the cross-section of the bolts and which engage behind the borders of the holes in the anchoring or locking position, while, in a position rotated with respect to this, it is possible to introduce and draw out the bolt (11) with its protrusions (12) since the holes (10) are slots or keyhole-like holes. The spacing and the size of the holes (10) corresponds to the analogous dimensions of such holes (10) on border webs (13), formed from flat material, of further shuttering boards (1), and the clear spacing between the protrusions (12) and a counter-stop (14), which is spaced apart axially therefrom and belongs to the connecting bolt (11), is approximately equal to the overall thickness of the flat border webs (13) or of one flat border web (13) and a stop web (5) of the border profile (2), with the result that shuttering boards with flat border webs (13) can be connected to shuttering boards with hollow border profiles (2) with the aid of such connecting bolts (11). Furthermore, shuttering boards with flat border webs (13) can be connected to one another with the aid of the connecting bolts (11) and, likewise, shuttering boards with hollow border profiles (2) can be connected to one another by means of connecting clamps (7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for adjusting the temperature of an ink in the inking unit of a printing machine, in which the ink is taken up by a ductor roller (2) from an ink fountain (4), which rests against said ductor roller and forms an inlet wedge therewith, and is passed into the inking unit. Provision is made for the temperature of the ink to be conditioned, i.e. heated or cooled as required, directly by special temperature-conditioning devices (20) ahead of and/or in the inlet wedge (13) of the ink fountain (4). This allows the temperature to be kept precisely constant, for example, even under variable operating conditions, but also allows intentional control of the temperature for the purpose of influencing the rheological properties of the ink. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for purifying organically polluted water, e.g. for obtaining drinking water, entails the untreated water being vigorously mixed with ozone in an ozone-treatment unit (2) and subsequently being passed through a filter (4) which is composed of different layers. To optimise the film of microorganisms which forms in the filter, sulphur is metered in, in the form of a compound which is available for assimilation by microorganisms, e.g. a sulphide, between the ozone-treatment unit (2) and the filter (4). The filter (4) preferably consists of an upper layer of filter carbon and an underlying layer of fine sand. Suitable and preferred as assimilable sulphur compound is aqueous sodium sulphide solution (3) or else hydrogen sulphide, sodium sulphite or sodium thiosulphate. An ozone treatment at the end of the process ensures that any traces of bioavailable sulphur are oxidised to the sulphate form. <IMAGE>
