Title: Apparatus for building a tobacco stream
Inventor: HEITMANN UWE
IPC: A24C5/18
Filed: 1991-08-15
Abstract: A cigarette rod making machine wherein the apparatus which supplies tobacco particles to the stream building zone at the underside of a belt conveyor 26 is designed to prevent entry of fragments of tobacco ribs into the outer layer of the stream. This is achieved by directing fragments of tobacco ribs into that portion 41 of the stream which is to form the core 46 of the filler of the cigarette rod and/or by directing fragments of tobacco ribs into that portion 38 of the stream which is removed by a trimming device 36 ahead of the station where the thus obtained filler is draped into a web of cigarette paper. Absence of fragments of tobacco ribs in the outer layer 45 of the filler reduces the likelihood of piercing the web of cigarette paper at the wrapping station. Advancement of fragments of tobacco ribs into those portions 39, 42 of the stream which are to form the outer layer 45 of the filler can be ensured or assisted by the additional expedient of designing the classifying device or devices of the distributor in the rod making machine in such a way that they cannot advance the relatively heavy fragments of tobacco ribs along those sections of the path leading to the stream building station which convey particles for the formation of the outer layer of the trimmed stream. <IMAGE>

Title: Address transition detector for semiconductor memory device
Inventor: KIM BON-KYOUNG
IPC: G11C11/41
Filed: 1992-03-31
Abstract: In an address transistion detector (ATD) of a semiconductor memory device, even if the address transition is accomplished over a long time, malfunction is prevented by synchronizing outputs of a buffer and a decoder and an output of the ATD circuit. To this end, input means 101, 102 for sensing a high trip level and a low trip level is included in the ATD circuit. Thus, even if the address transition is slowly accomplished for a long time, the duration of a short pulse (SAT) notifying the address transition becomes long, thereby producing accurate data. Moreover, since it is not restricted system application, it can be used in a wide application field by adopting a memory device having an ATD. A delay is provided by RC delays 75, 80; 78, 81. The resistive component 75, 78 may be an active resistor or polysilicon (75A, 78A, Fig 9) or a depletion transistor (75B, 78B, Fig 10). <IMAGE>

Title: Adjustable stabilizer.
Inventor: LEE PAUL BERNARD
IPC: E21B7/08
Filed: 1993-01-13
Abstract: A down hole drilling tool activating mechanism is provided which will adjustably activate tool elements such as stabilizer pads 54 by means of a mandrel 44 which will move vertically against a bias spring 64 and has inclined surfaces 50 to bear on the inside of the adjustable pads creating variable diameters. The mandrel 44 has a series of flexible fingers 40 which engage the main body of the tool. The fingers 40 are held in locking engagement with the body 20 of the stabilizer by an extension 18 of a splined telescopic joint (not shown). To operate the mechanism the drill string is lifted to raise the extension 18 above the fingers 40 thus releasing the fingers and attached mandrel for vertical movement. The mud pump is then activated to effect the desired degree of vertical movement of the mandrel 44 and consequent expansion of the pads 50 after which the drill string is lowered so that the extension 18 again engages the fingers 40 to lock the mandrel 44 in its adjusted position. The telescopic joint may be pressure balanced to prevent inadvertent operation by increases in mud pressure. <IMAGE>
