Patent ZA-957982-B (ZA)
Title: Processing methods and products for irregularly shaped bicomponent glass fibers
Inventor: ALKIRE ROBERTA LEE
IPC: D21H13/24
Filed: 1995-09-21
Abstract: An irregularly shaped glass fiber is provided which enjoys improved resiliency, and openness in pack structures. Wool packs and other wool portions having such irregularly shaped fibers may be processed directly through needling to form a non-woven material without intervening steps such as carding or blending of fibers which accompany conventional glass fiber processing operations. In a further aspect of the invention, a non-woven material including irregularly shaped fibers in a generally continuous wool tow is produced by "unwinding" a fiberglass wool pack collected by a direct forming method. Product applications include simplified, lower cost processing, and new uses of the irregularly shaped fibers produced by rotary fiberization in filtration elements, sorbants, gaskets, packings, shingles, composite structural elements, furnishings, textiles, yarns, and blown-in insulation systems.

Title: Packets and their manufacture
Inventor: BAILEY THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: B65D81/00
Filed: 1997-07-07
Abstract: A process and apparatus are described for producing drawstring packets. The packets are produced by forming thread loops (L) with tags (T) attached to their ends and placing the packet web material (W) onto the portions of a the loops further from the tags. After securing the loops in their shaped form temporarily to one face of the web, the tags and the remaining portions of thread are placed on the other face of the web to be attached there releasably. In subsequent processing the secured loop portions lie inside the packets and the tags outside. The process allows relatively precise location of the loops so that packets can be produced with the loops in a peripheral channel (P) sealed from the contents of the packets but able to move to contract the package when the ends of the loop are pulled.

Title: Method of particle formation.
Inventor: HANNA MAZEN HERMIZ
IPC: B01J2/04
Filed: 1999-03-02
Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming particles of a substance 2, comprising: (a) preparing a solution or suspension of the substance in a vehicle 6; (b) introducing the solution or suspension into a particle formation vessel 1 via a fluid inlet means 5; and (c) introducing with the solution or suspension a primary supercritical fluid 8 capable of acting as an anti-solvent for the substance, under conditions which allow the supercritical fluid to extract the vehicle from the solution or suspension and hence cause the formation of particles of the substance; wherein a (preferably supercritical) secondary fluid 12 is introduced into the particle formation vessel with the solution or suspension and/or the primary supercritical fluid, upstream of or at the point at which particle formation occurs, the secondary fluid having a lower capacity for extracting the vehicle than that of the primary supercritical fluid. The invention also provides the use of such a secondary fluid for the purpose of eliminating, at least substantially, blocking of the fluid inlet means and/or of the fluid supply line(s) to the inlet means, in such a particle formation method, and/or for the purpose of reducing pressure fluctuations in the fluid inlet means and/or fluid supply line(s).

Patent GB-2444730-B (GB)
Title: A lock
Inventor: WALLIS GLEN
IPC: E05B63/04
Filed: 2006-12-15
Granted: 2012-01-25
Abstract: A lock having a first side and a second side comprises a latch bolt 2, a drive 4 for retracting the latch bolt and a control device 6 located on one side transmitting the drive (via 12). The side of the lock from which the latch bolt can be engaged by the drive is determined by the position of the control device in relation to the latch. A handle acts via spindle 10 to operate the drive 4 and a similar drive located on the other side of the lock could be used to retract the latch bolt 2 only if the control device 6 (shown formed as a screw-in projection on the latch) were located on that side. The lock shown is a multi-point fastening and rotation of the drive in the direction opposite to bolt retraction moves a bar 32 (via finger 38) to extend lock bolts and (via 42) to obstruct latch bolt retraction. Handle operation to retract the latch bolt also retracts the lock bolts. A key-operated device 14 acts in one direction (via 16) on the drive 4 to retract the latch and in the other direction (via 46) to extend a deadbolt 44. A slot in bar 32 allows the extension of bolt 44 only when the lock bolts are extended and a projection 56 on the extended bolt 44 engages a recess 58 to prevent lock bolt retraction.

Title: Analytical server integrated in a process control network
Inventor: DENISON DAVID R
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 2007-10-02
Granted: 2011-09-28
Abstract: A process control system integrates the collection and analysis of process control data used to perform certain computationally expensive process control functions, like adaptive model generation and tuning parameter generation, in the same control device in which one or more of the process control routines are implemented, to thereby provide for faster and more efficient support of the process control routines. This system replaces a layered approach using multiple processing devices by integrating an analytical server which performs computationally expensive analyses used by one or more control routines directly into the real-time control device in which the one or more control routines are located. This integration provides the ability to analyze large quantities of data for multiple process loops controlled by a particular device in a fast and efficient manner.

Title: Inhibiting movement of manual gearshift mechanism into reverse
IPC: F16H63/00
Filed: 1982-03-29
Granted: 1985-02-27
Abstract: A shift mechanism for a change-speed gear transmission includes a manual gearshift lever arranged to be selectively shiftable toward forward speed-ratio and reverse-ratio positions at the same gate in a gearshift pattern, a movable member integral with a selector shaft mounted within a housing assembly of the gear transmission for both axial and rotary movement and being operatively connected to the gearshift lever to be axially moved in selecting operation of the gearshift lever toward the gate and to be rotated in shifting operation of the gearshift lever toward one of the forward speed-ratio and reverse-ratio positions. The movable member is provided with a radial lever arm arranged to be selectively movable for engagement of the forward and reverse gear ratios and provided with a radial projection which is arranged to be engaged with a recessed portion formed on one end of a spring-loaded restrict pin in shifting operation of the gearshift lever from the forward speed-ratio position toward the reverse-ratio position across the same gate to prevent an error in the shifting operation.

Title: Dispensing device for dispensing at least two fluids
Inventor: HOLM NIELS ERIK
IPC: A61L24/00
Filed: 1992-09-30
Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing at least two fluids comprises a housing (12,22) of a pistol-like configuration having an integral handle (50), in which a spring-biased trigger (60) is received. Within the housing (12,22) of the dispensing device (10), two syringes (80,81) are received and fixated, which syringes contain respective fluids to be accurately dispensed. Provided a cover (22) of the housing is closed, the motion of the trigger (60) relative to the handle (50) is transmitted to a toothed rack which cooperates with a propeller body (70) in a ratchet-like manner. The ratchet-like cooperation allows a uni-directional motion of the propeller body (70) and prevents a motion of the propeller body (70) in the opposite direction. Provided the cover (22) is not closed, the motion of the trigger (60) relative to the handle is not transmitted to the propeller body (70), and any unintentional dispensing of fluids from the dispensing device prior to the preparing of the dispensing device for use by closing the cover (22) is consequently prevented. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
