Title: Hollow containers with inert or impermeable inner surface through plasma-assisted deposition of a primarily inorganic susbtance
Inventor: PLESTER GEORGE
IPC: C23C14/00
Filed: 1995-02-09
Abstract: A plasma assisted deposition of a very thin inner surface coating inside a plastic or metal container is achieved using insoluble, inert, inorganic substances such as silica, or insoluble metal oxides, or by using mixtures of substances, for example of metals, metal oxides, metal salts and carbon and/or organic radicals, so as to form a flexible structure or lattice, or by using different layers of such structures. It involves locating the container in an evacuated enclosure, placing a vaporizer containing inert inorganic material of a predetermined constituency inside the container, generating a vapor of said material, forming a plasma of said vapor, and depositing a relatively thin coating of said material over a predetermined area of an inside surface of said container, whereby the high temperature of the particles of said coating penetrate said surface due to their heat energy while causing no overall rise in surface temperature because of the low mass flow.

Title: Determining the position of a mobile station in a CDMA cellular telephone system
Inventor: GILHOUSEN KLEIN S
IPC: H04W52/00
Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2001-08-15
Abstract: In a cellular communications system, a mobile is in communication with a first base station via a radio channel. The mobile may be located by measuring signal propagation delays between itself and the first base station, and between itself and a second and third surrounding base station. If, whilst the first base station is transmitting, the mobile is unable to perform the necessary measurements with the second and third base stations, the first base station will temporarily cease transmitting on the radio channel to enable the mobile to measure the propagation time of a signals between itself and the second and third base stations. Particularly suited to CDMA communications systems in which transmission powers are normally kept to a minimum.

Title: Window-winder for motor vehicles
Inventor: GABAS CARLOS CEBOLLERO
IPC: E05F11/48
Filed: 1987-09-28
Granted: 1990-02-07
Abstract: A light, compact motor-vehicle window-winder includes a drive shaft (8), rotated by means of a handle, and a cylindrical drum (1) with an external helical groove (2) for the window cable (13). The drive shaft extends through an annular drum core (4) within a cylindrical drum recess (3), and transmits drive to the drum via two cranked arms (7) carried by the shaft and located between two lugs projecting from the core. The lugs divide the recess into two symmetrical parts, and have end faces flush with a drum end face. A braking mechanism is also housed in the recess (3) and comprises a helical torsion spring (10) having ends bent inwardly one on either side of a said lug. When the drive shaft is turned in either sense, drive is transmitted through the arms (7), spring ends and lugs to rotate the drum, if the window is forced, the force is transmitted to the drum, to the lugs and to a bent spring and to increase drum braking. <IMAGE>

Title: Processing paper and other webs
Inventor: BOWMAN KENNETH ALBERT
IPC: B41F13/24

Granted: 1991-02-06
Abstract: A printing apparatus has an array of cartridges (40,41,42) for printing a web (2) of e.g. paper passing through the array, and one or more units (48,49) containing printing medium. The cartridges (40,41,42) each are capable of transferring the printing medium from the units(s) (48,49) to the web (2). The unit(s) (48,49) and the cartridges (40,41,42) of the array are relatively movable, to allow the unit(s) (48,49) to interact successively with at least two of the cartridges (40,41,42). In this way it is possible to change printing from one cartridge (40,41,42) to another, allowing changes to be made to what is printed, without halting the movement of web (2) significantly. The present invention also proposes that the cartridges (40,41,42) may have printing cylinders (43,44,45,46) of different sizes, and furthermore that a mobile unwind stand may be used to move web material to the printing apparatus, and the web output from the printing apparatus processed by sheet folding techniques.
