Title: Acessório automotivo com revestimento superior transparente e processo de fabricá-lo
Inventor: SMITH HENRY H
IPC: B29L31/30
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: Patente de Invenção: <B>"ACESSóRIO AUTOMOTIVO COM REVESTIMENTO SUPERIOR TRANSPARENTE E PROCESSO DE FABRICá-LO"<D>. Um produto acessório automotivo exterior e processo de fabricar o mesmo. Em certas configurações, uma camada termoplástica pigmentada colorida 75 é fornecida. Um revestimento transparente 77 é calandrado à camada pigmentada colorida 75 para formar um composto ou laminado. O laminado é em seguida conformado a vácuo em uma forma tridimensional que se aproxima da forma desejada de um produto acessório final. O laminado conformado a vácuo 91 é então inserido para o interior de um dispositivo de moldagem por injeção, e resina semiderretida 119 é injetada para o interior da cavidade molde atrás do laminado 91. A resina se funde como o laminado conformado a vácuo 91 com o resultado sendo o produto acessório automotivo final. Assim, nenhuma pintura por borrifamento ou borrifamento de solventes é requerido, e técnicas cansativas de transferência de tinta seca podem ser evitadas.

Title: Relief printing devices prepared from copolyamides
Inventor: WILHELM HANS DR
IPC: G03F7/037
Filed: 1966-09-15
Abstract: Manufacture of printing plates and devices from synthetic copolyamides prepared from compositions comprising 90-30% wt. linear polyamide (I), 10-70% wt. other monomers (II) containing at least two polymerisable double bonds, in conjunction with 1-50% (pref. 5-40% wt. of total monomers) N-methylolacrylamide and/or N-methylolmethacrylamide, and in the presence of 0.01-10% wt. (pref. 0.01-3% wt.) on total mixture of suitable photo-initiators (III) and/or thermal polymerisation inhibitors (IV). Rapid process needing relatively short exposures which produces a printing plate, having very sharp outlines, in relief, which can be associated with flexible or rigid supports, and which has a high resistance to abrasion and wear. Composition is not subject to undesirable cross-linking reactions during the preparation of the plates or layers from the copolyamide composition and before exposure to light. Achieved by exposing layer of above copolyamide (prepared by usual extrusion, casting or similar techniques) in contact with negative to suitable light source as in prior art, followed by removal of unexposed material by washing with benzene-methanol-water (2:7:1) mixture. The copolyamides used are soluble in the usual mixtures of solvents and are generally prepared by anionic polymerisation starting with any of the well known monomer. The well known photo-initiators (III) decompose into radicals on exposure to light and thereby induce the cross-linking polymerisation reactions. The inhibitors.

Title: Apparatus and method measures change in position of stage mirror with air turbulence compensation
Inventor: SORABEDIAN PAUL
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: An apparatus and method that measures the change in the position of a stage mirror (22) with respect to a reference mirror (21) when the stage mirror moves between two positions. Air density is measured at the same time as the mirror distance is measured to provide air turbulence compensation. The apparatus (10) includes a light source (11) for generating first and second coincident light beams, the first light beam (12) having a wavelength   g  <SB>1</SB> and the second light beam (13) having a wavelength   g  <SB>2</SB> where   g  <SB>1</SB> = M   g  <SB>2</SB>. The first lightbeam (12) includes two orthogonally polarised components differing in frequency by a first beat frequency, F<SB>ref</SB> (  g  <SB>1</SB>), and the second light beam (13) includes two orthogonally polarised components differing in frequency by a second beat frequency, F<SB>ref</SB> (  g  <SB>2</SB>), where F<SB>ref</SB>(  g  <SB>2</SB>) = M F<SB>ref</SB>(  g  <SB>1</SB>), and M is an integer greater than 1. A polarisation dependant beam splitter (17) directs one of the orthogonally polarised components of each of the light beams to the reference mirror (21) and the other of the orthogonally polarised components of each of the light beams to the stage mirror (22). The polarisation dependant beam splitter (17) also recombines the orthogonally polarised components after they have been reflected by either the reference mirror (21) or the stage mirror (22). The light intensities of the recombined light beams are measured in first and second detectors (23 and 24). The outputs of these detectors are combined to provide an optical path measurement and a correction term that corrects for the density of air along the measurement path, and hence, corrects for any air turbulence.

Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: An airconditioning system (10) for a vehicle has a heating heat exchanger (12) with a heating medium permanently flowing through it, situated downstream of an evaporator (11). Air mixing spaces (17, 18) directly adjacent to the heat exchanger (12) have hot air inlets (19, 20) which extend over the air outlet surface (122) of the heat exchanger (12), and cold air inlets (21, 22) at the downstream end of cold air ducts (23, 24) bypassing the heat exchanger (12).

Patent GB-2350446-A (GB)
Title: Flow control valve assembly
Inventor: SHIPP DAVID
IPC: G05D9/04
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A fluid flow control valve (10) has a piston (43) in a first chamber (45), urged by a spring (46) to close fluid passages (36) interconnecting the first chamber (45) to a second chamber (51). A fluid level sensor (20) in a container (100) allows fluid to be bled from a downstream side of the first chamber (45), via a bleed passage (45), to enable the piston (43) to move to open the fluid passages (36). When the fluid sensor (20) detects that the fluid level (101) in the container (100) has reached a preset level, the fluid level sensor (20) shuts off flow through the bleed passage (45) and the equalization of the fluid pressure on both sides of the piston (43) in the first chamber (45) enables the spring (46) to move the piston (43) to close the fluid passages (36), shutting off fluid flow through the valve (40).

Title: Superconducting magnetic energy storage using inductive couplings
Inventor: THORBURN KARIN
IPC: H01F6/00
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: A method or means of storing and retrieving energy 1 comprises a closed superconducting circuit loop 2, with no direct connections, which is inductively coupled to a coil 4 for the input and output of electrical energy. The said superconducting circuit 2 is switched between a non-superconducting and superconducting state by applying or removing a magnetic field via a further coil 5. The closed loop 2 may be a toroid or a cylinder of anisotropic superconductive material, which is located in a dewar container 3 with appropriate cooling. Current pulses may be applied to coils 4 and 5 to control the storing or retrieval of energy. The magnetic fields created by coils 4 and 5 may be perpendicular to one another. An alternative arrangement has a coil formed around an air gap in a high permeability magnetic core which passes through the middle of the superconductive loop. The arrangement may operate as a result of electron energy decay when the closed loop 2 is at least partially quenched rather than an oscillating system. The arrangement provides an energy storage system which may be applied to all kinds of electrical plant or vehicles.

Title: Method and apparatus for demagnetizing color CRT
Inventor: KIYA YOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04N9/29
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: The disturbance of display images is prevented by energizing a demagnetization coil during the vertical blanking time while making color blurs invisible during the demagnetization process. When the charge in capacitors (C1 and C2) is released through the demagnetization coil, a damped oscillation current is generated in a closed-loop formed of one capacitor and the demagnetization coil, followed by a damped oscillation current of a reverse-polarity being generated in a closed-loop formed of the other capacitor and the demagnetization coil. The demagnetization operation is performed by this pair of damped oscillation currents that appear within the vertical blanking time during which color blurs due to demagnetization are invisible.
