Title: Method and apparatus for preloading a skid plate for an early cutting concrete saw
Inventor: CHIUMINATTA EDWARD R
IPC: B23D59/00
Filed: 1997-07-14
Granted: 2001-04-12
Abstract: A skid plate for a concrete saw has opposing ends connected by a truss, with mounting fixtures that connect opposing ends of a skid plate to the concrete saw. The mounting portions are connected to an apparatus that simulates the saw's mounting structure, and that simulates the load distribution the saw exerts on the skid plate in use. Sensors detect the force or deflection at various locations on the skid plate that occurs from the simulated load. One end of the truss and skid plate are moved relative to each other to adjust the sensor readings on the skid plate to achieve a predetermined profile that reduces raveling of a concrete surface during cutting.

Title: Method for manufacturing resin-impregnated endless belt structures
Inventor: DUTT WILLIAM H
IPC: D21F3/00
Filed: 1997-08-08
Granted: 2000-07-13
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a resin-impregnated endless belt structure is carried out on an apparatus having an outer cylinder having an inner cylindrical surface coaxial with a smaller radius cylindrical mandrel. An endless base structure for the endless belt structure is disposed within the outer cylinder on the inner cylindrical surface. The cylindrical mandrel, having an inwardly curved nose, is then inserted into the outer cylinder forming a nip of converging geometry between the nose and the inner cylindrical surface. Polymeric resin material is dispensed continuously into the nip while the cylindrical mandrel is gradually moved completely into the outer cylinder. The nose forces the polymeric resin material into the endless base structure, and air bubbles out, while forcing the endless base structure against the inner cylindrical surface. After the polymeric resin material is cured, the endless belt structure, having a totally impregnated, air-bubble free endless base structure with a coating on its inner surface, may be obtained upon removal from the apparatus.

Title: Stable complexes of crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone and iodine and method of making the same
Inventor: KULKARNI ARUN B
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1996-05-31
Granted: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A wound treatment material which absorbs wound fluid without overdrying the wound, provides physical cushioning for the wound, and releases an antimicrobial agent (iodine) in a controlled manner to kill harmful micro-organisms without irritating the wound area or adversely affecting would healing. The wound treatment material comprises crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex which is water insoluble, but water-absorbent and water-swellable. When the complex or a wound treatment preparation containing the complex is applied to a wound, i.e., becomes hydrated, and an equilibrium is established between the complex and the wound at the wound/complex interface. Iodine is releaed from the crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex by a diffusion controlled process which responds to the reduction in concentration of free iodine in the wound fluid in equilibrium with the complex. The greater the rate of iodine depletion in the wound, the greater the rate of iodine release from the polymer-iodine complex. It has been discovered that this diffusion controlled release mechanism can be utilized to deliver antimicrobially effective amounts of iodine to the wound while maintaining the concentration of iodine below the concentration that could cause significant wound irritation or retardation of healing. It has also been found that the moist environment at the wound/complex interface and the physical protective effect (cushioning) offered by the hydrated complex can enhance wound healing.

Title: Character recognition
Inventor: SPARR GUNNAR
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1999-08-25
Granted: 2002-07-04
Abstract: Character recognition includes detecting a union of characters, preprocessing the union of characters, comparing the preprocessed union of characters with one or more template symbols, and applying a decision rule to either reject a template symbol or decide that the template symbol is included in the union of characters. Such preprocessing involves representing the union of characters as one or more curves, and parameterizing the curve(s); and, regarding various classes of transformation, forming one or more shapes for the curve(s). The comparing operation involves forming one or more geometric proximity measures, and determining for every shape the values of those measures between the shape and correspondingly determined shapes for the template symbols. Applying a decision rule involves selecting one or more template symbols in consideration of the values.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the purification of metals and in particular aluminium by fractional distillation. The process which comprises: (a) causing progressive solidification within a volume of liquid metal which is maintained in the vicinity of its melting point in an externally heated container by immersing therein an internally cooled body; (b) collecting at the bottom of the container all of the small crystals which are formed, (c) by compacting causing sintering of the small crystals to produce large crystals; and (d) separating the purified fraction consisting of large crystals from the liquid fraction which is enriched in respect of impurities, by tilting the container; is characterized in that, to increase the purification action, the container is maintained in its tilted position to drain off the purified fraction. The invention is used in particular in the purification of aluminium where it makes it possible for example directly to reduce the amount of iron from 800 to 1 ppm.

Granted: 1989-05-11
Abstract: A self-cleaning canister type filter (1) comprises a cylindrical canister enclosure (3) which has, at one end, end plate (2) with fluid inlets (4) and outlet (6) therein. A spring-loaded hollow annular piston (30) is slideably mounted on the exterior of a central tubular cylinder (10) and within an upper cylinder (28) for a downward movement against a compression spring (32) to initially force a back-flow of filtered fluid through a filter element (14), lifting contaminant particulate solids from its filtering surface (15). An inlet valve opening (64) is opened to fluid flow when piston (30) attains a compressed position. Filter element (14) is closely spaced to the canister enclosure inner wall surface (9) for rapid flow of fluid over the inlet surface (15) of the filter element (14) to scour solids to a sump (5) in the lower portion of the canister enclosure (3). A lower spring-loaded piston (18) communicates with sump (5) and is forced upward by entering contaminated fluid until an attached sleeve valve piston (23) slideably mounted in tubular cylinder (10) opens to permit filtered fluid to exit the filter (1), resulting in normal filtration flow of fluid through filter element (14).
