Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing
in aqueous solution of sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde resin,
and a cement composition in which the solution and a setting
retarder are added to a concrete, a mortar, a cement paste
or the like. And the process comprises the following step (A),
step (B) and step (C):
   Step (A): a step of adjusting an aqueous solution
containing melamine (a), formaldehyde (b), sulfanilic acid
(c) and an alkali substance (d) to (a):(b):(c)=1:2.5-3.5:0.5-1.5
in molar ratio and its pH to B.0-13.5, and
thereafter heating the aqueous solution at 50-90°C to conduct
the reaction until free sulfanilic acid decreases to 40-90
mol% of the amount of sulfanilic acid charged;   Step (B): a step of adding an inorganic acid to the
reaction liquid obtained in the step (A) to adjust its pH to
6.0-8.0, and thereafter heating the reaction liquid at 50-90°C.
to conduct the reaction until free sulfanilic acid decreases
to 20-60 mol% of the amount of sulfanilic acid charged;   Step (C): a step of adjusting a pH of the reaction liquid
obtained in step (B) to 7.0-13.5.

Abstract: A variable acceleration take-away roll nip (400) (TAR) is provided. The
properties and dimensions of the sheets in a stack (53) are entered by a user or
determined automatically. Since it is known from either customer provided input
or automatic sensing what sheet length and resulting pitch size are feeding
from any tray, the acceleration profile for the TAR (400) is customized according to
how much time is available to bring the sheet to transport speed in a given
pitch zone. For longer sheet length with higher mass, there is also more
acceleration time available and can reduce the required acceleration to a value
that the motor and drive nip friction can handle thereby keeping motor size
down and making more efficient use of the available torque of the motor with
no added cost.

Abstract: The invention provides a simple method and apparatus
for tracking image recording device (110) motion using a
light field. The invention locates the image recording
device's position and orientation in each frame very
precisely by checking the radiance seen along lines
captured in previous frames. The invention provides an
interactive system that provides the operator with
feedback, to capture a sequence of frames that sufficiently
cover the light field, to provide sufficient data for
reconstruction of three-dimensional structures.

Abstract: A method for analysing a thermal paint includes the
step of defining a colour space in at least two dimensions,
the dimensions representing different colours and/or
luminance values. The location of reference points,
representing calibration data, is defined within the colour
space for comparison with colour information relating to a
part to be analysed. Each pixel of an image of the part to
be analysed is given a location in colour space and the
nearest calibration reference point is determined. In this
way, the approximate temperature of that point can be
established.

Title: Beverage chiller
Inventor: GARRETT MICHAEL ERNEST
IPC: F25D3/14
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A spirit chilling apparatus comprising a drink chilling tube (4) concentric within an
insulated container (6) filled with a constant boiling cryogen (8), such as acetone and
solid carbon dioxide or similar azeotropic mixture. The innertube (4) is held in
relatively poor thermal contact with the vessel (6) containing the liquid so that over a
period of time it will adopt the temperature of the liquid (8) but when a measure of
spirit is poured through it the specific heat of the tube (4) will be sufficient to result in
a net temperature of -5°C for both the spirit and the tube (4), the heat flow from the
surrounding vessel (6) being insufficient to materially affect this. If the tube (4) is left
in place it will again cool to the previous temperature so that a further measure of
spirit can be cooled.

Patent EP-0973225-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LODI UMBERTO
IPC: H01P1/203
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: A coupling network and a method are described for widening the varactor diode
tuning band of microstrip dielectric resonators, for instance in microwave
oscillators or in filtering arrangements. The present invention substantially
provides for modifying the single-line asymmetric structure of a conventional
network still utilizing a single varactor diode mounted on the plane of the
microstrip circuit. In other words, the transmission line is duplicated thus
creating a dipole structure which assures a tighter coupling with the dielectric
resonator. Thanks to the duplication of the transmission line and to the fact that
the center of the dipole is the location where currents are higher, it is possible
to obtain far wider tuning bands as compared with a known and conventional
configuration.

Title: Charniere a axes multiples coordonnes et fermeture dans laquelle elle est utilisee
Inventor: LAGLER LOUIS
IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: Un agencement de charnières à axes multiples coordonnés produit une détente brusque entre des états ouvert et fermé stables. Lorsque les charnières agissent entre les états ouvert et fermé stables, en passant par une position au point mort, les forces élastiques exercées par les éléments de liaison (33.1, 33.2) rigides en torsion de la charnière sur les parties de la charnière adjacentes, telles que le corps et le couvercle, sont transférées par des zones d'accouplement ou de transmission (45.1, 45.2) adjacentes aux zones de flexion (34,1 - 34.4) ou aux charnières en feuille, à des zones éloignées (40.1 - 40.3) de stockage de l'énergie de déformation élastique. Lorsque la charnière passe par la position de point mort, cette énergie est à son tour renvoyée aux élément de liaison rigides, de sorte qu'une détente brusque soit exercée sur la fermeture. La fermeture peut être coulée comme une simple pièce de plastique, et ce en position ouverte.

Inventor: ELG JOHANNES
IPC: H04W74/06

Abstract: A system comprises a wireless master unit and one or more wireless slave units, each having a unique identifier. When a wireless slave unit is active, it is addressed by one of a limited number of temporary addresses. A PARK mode enables a wireless slave unit to be in an idle state during which its temporary address is deallocated, enabling that address to be assigned to another wireless slave unit. To page a parked slave, a paging beacon packet is broadcast to, and received by, each of the wireless slave units at fixed intervals during a master-to-slave time slot. Each wireless slave unit determines whether the received paging beacon packet includes its unique identifier. If so, the wireless slave unit retrieves a temporary address from the paging beacon packet. The wireless unit transmits a response to the wireless master unit during a subsequent slave-to-master time slot if the received paging beacon packet included the unique identifier belonging to the wireless slave unit. Parked wireless slave units are also assigned a unique response number by the master. The master broadcasts a polling beacon packet during a master-to-slave time slot. If the parked slave unit desires access to the channel, it transmits a response in an N:th slave-to-master time slot following the polling beacon packet where N is a function of the slave's unique response number.

Abstract: A transcoding method is performed by receiving a first bitstream of compressed image data having identifiable coding parameters. These parameters may relate to the GOP structure of pictures represented in the first bitstream, the size of the pictures represented in the first bitstream, whether the pictures represented in the first bitstream are field or frame pictures, and/or whether the pictures represented in the first bitstream define a progressive or interlaced sequence. First motion information is obtained from the first bitstream, and is used to extrapolate second motion information for a second bitstream of compressed image data. The second bitstream, which has one or more parameters different from the parameters of the first bitstream, is provided as a transcoded output.
