Inventor: MOSES CHARLES J
IPC: F16L27/11
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: For continuous high temperature operation over a service life in excess of twenty
years, a flexible pipe joint (18) includes various features that tend to reduce the temperature
of the load-bearing flex element (25) or reduce strain in the warmer elastomeric layers of the
flex element (25). These features include a heat shield (33) of low heat conductivity material
integrated into the inner profile of the pipe extension (23) and interposed between the central
bore of the pipe joint (18) and the flex element (25), low heat conductivity metal alloy components
between the hot production fluid and the flex element (25), high temperature resistant
elastomer at least in the warmest inner elastomer layer of the flex element (25), and a flex
element (25) constructed to shift strain from the warmer inner elastomer layers to the colder
outer elastomer layers by providing greater shear area, different layer thickness, and /or
higher elastic modulus elastomer for the warmer inner elastomer layers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for thermally affecting graft organs during harvesting and transplantation operations. An insulation jacket (10) is configured to conform to the shape of the graft organ. The insulation jacket includes a body portion (11) constructed from a flexible surgical grade plastic, insulation foam, or thermo mass. The body portion may include a plurality of non-communicating pillows (22) capable of retaining a malleable condition when chilled to desired implantation temperatures. The selection of material for the body portion and the sterile nature of the cooling material allow the insulation jacket to be placed inside a patient's body during surgery. When secured about a graft organ, the insulation jacket provides openings for access to graft organ vessels, thereby allowing the implantation surgery to proceed while at least a portion of the graft organ remains enclosed in the insulation jacket. The insulation jacket may also include at least one layer of insulation.

Abstract: A closure unit (100) for selectively closing a package (60) of wipes or the like is
formed as an integral unit typically in or close to the closed position, and has a
flap (120) hinged with respect to a frame (140) defining an opening for enabling dispensing
of the wipes or the like therethrough. Break lines between the flap and the frame
enable the flap to be torn from the frame at first use, and suitable positive locking
means enable the flap to be reclosed with respect to the frame. The structure of
the unit is such that no portion of the flap substantially overlaps any portion of
the frame when the unit is initially formed, and thus then unit may be formed in
or close to the closed position, particularly from sheet material.

Abstract: In a transfer apparatus to which MIMO-OFDM is applied, a data transmission method and a data reception method are provided in which, even when there are frequency errors varying among transfer paths, the precision of estimation of an inverse propagation coefficient function can be improved, thereby making it possible to suppress a degradation in characteristics. Among symbols composed of a plurality of subcarriers orthognal to each other, the transfer apparatus uses, as a synchronization symbol, a symbol in which predetermined amplitudes and phases are assigned to a plurality of subcarriers spaced at predetermined frequency intervals. The synchronization symbol is divided into transmission antennas to generate a plurality of synchronization subsymbols, which are in turn simultaneously transmitted from a plurality of transmission antennas. A reception apparatus estimates a frequency error for each transfer path based on synchronization subsymbols included in signals received by a plurality of reception antennas, and based on the estimated frequency errors, corrects the received signals.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de partage de charge dans des systèmes de communications par satellite. Un ou plusieurs utilisateurs dans un système de communication par satellite peuvent constater une dégradation du signal ou un affaiblissement du signal qui peut survenir pendant une longue durée, tel que, par exemple, un affaiblissement du à la pluie. Ce système peut améliorer une liaison de communications avec un utilisateur particulier par la variation du débit de données. Le débit de données peut être modifié via la réduction d'un débit de codage de façon à un compenser une basse qualité de signal. Dans un système de communication multiplexé par répartition dans le temps, dans lequel des utilisateurs multiples se répartissent dans le temps la largeur de bande de communication disponibles, le système peut simultanément régler une durée allouée à un utilisateur fondée en partie sur le débit de codage. Le temps alloué à un utilisateur peut être augmenté pour des débits de codage diminués de façon à maintenir un débit de symbole sensiblement stable pour l'utilisateur à chaque cycle réparti dans le temps des utilisateurs.
