Title: Coating a substrate with photographic - emulsions
Inventor: DIPL-ING HERZHOFF PETER DR
IPC: G03C1/74
Filed: 1968-09-30
Abstract: Coating a substrate with photographic emulsions. Comprises moving the substrate past a block of closely spaced casting heads. Each head is supplied with emulsion, metered according to the desired thickness of the respective layer, and produce a bead of emulsion tapering from the head towards the substrate. Pref. the block comprises segments, spaced from one another to define pressure feed channels for the emulsions and spaced progressively further from the substrate to facilitate positioning the emulsion layers on top of one another. Pref. the face of each segment facing the substrate defines a wedge-shaped gap therewith to provide the tapered bead. The bead method allows high coating speeds and the use of high viscosity emulsions. Multiple coating means only one gelling step is needed.

Title: Optical waveguide
Inventor: RHEE TAI-HYUNG
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 2000-04-17
Abstract: An optical waveguide including a core layer formed of a polymer, and a cladding layer placed in proximate to the core layer, the cladding layer being formed of a polymer having a refractive index smaller than the refractive index of the polymer for the core layer, wherein the polymers for the core and cladding layers are selected from the copolymers having the formula (1) <EMI ID=2.1 HE=62 WI=157 LX=298 LY=667 TI=CF> <PC><I>n</I> is a mole fraction in the range of 0.05   &   p < 1. Therefore, by using polyimides which allow easy control of the refractive index in the formation of an optical waveguide, the difference in refractive index between the core and cladding layers of the optical waveguide can be further increased compared to the case of using silica. As a result, a subminiature passive device for optical communications can be manufactured.

Title: Direction-finding receiver signal processing method
Inventor: KRIMMER CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04B17/309
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: Signals transmitted in the high-frequency range are detected and processed in a direction-finding receiver. The method comprises transforming the received signals into time-frequency space, with measurement cells 1 for each measurement time and frequency channel. Data corresponding to the signal strength and azimuth angle of signal detection are assigned to the corresponding cells, then the cells of one transmission are combined into one elemental transmission 3. This processing allows the detected and 'segmented' signals to be tracked in time more easily than other methods and may be particularly adapted for use in the shortwave range where signal fading is prevalent. The method may be particularly used in chirp sounders.

Title: Trailer wheel bearing protection device
Inventor: EDWARDS DAVID
IPC: F16N37/00
Filed: 2000-10-31
Abstract: A vehicle towed trailer, e.g. a trailer used for water born craft, boats and jet skis, has on occasion the need to enter either fresh or salt water via slipways. This causes the submergence of the trailer wheel bearings. With the trailer wheel bearing protection device fitted, in place of the wheel bearing dust cap, the wheel bearings and stub axles are fully protected against the ingestion of any harmful particulates, through the hydraulic pressure inside of the wheel bearing and stub axle chamber. This hydraulic pressure in maintained via the inclusion of a grease nipple and pressure relief valve fitted to the main body of the device. Grease is pumped into the wheel bearing chamber via the grease nipple, once the optimum pressure is reached, the pressure relief valve deploys and the wheel bearings and stub axle are fully protected and ready for use, submergence or otherwise.

Title: Assessing deterioration of a NOx catalytic converter
Inventor: BERGER JOACHIM
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: Assessing deterioration of NOx catalytic converter of an i.c.e. (internal combustion engine), having a NOx sensor downstream of a NOx trap, wherein the NOx trap is supplied with alternating pulses of either NOx rich fumes (lean burn mode) or fumes of lesser NOx content which also include reducing agents (rich burn mode). The time taken to fill the NOx trap is based on operating parameters of the engine and the NOx catalytic converter. The expected NOx concentration is modelled from the operating parameters of the engine and Nox catalytic converter and is compared to a detected NOx concentration taken using the NOx sensor. Deviations between the expected NOx concentration value and the detected NOx concentration value beyond an acceptable threshold value are taken to be indicators of a defective NOx catalytic converter.
