Patent EP-0890608-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUVALL TOD CHARLES
IPC: C08K3/16
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: Both flexible and rigid vinyl chloride polymer
compositions comprising a latent mercaptan-containing heat
stabilizer are substantially free from the offensive odour
typically associated with mercaptans and are protected
during processing by the degradation products of the latent
(i.e. blocked) mercaptan which include a free mercaptan.
The free mercaptan thus released enhances the activity of
metallic-based heat stabilizers such as zinc carboxylates
and organotin carboxylates and mercaptides in the polymer
composition. Other products of the degradation are believed
to include carbocations of the blocking moiety which are
stabilized by a molecular structure in which the electron
deficiency is shared by several groups. The latent
mercaptan comprises a 2-S-(tetrahydropyranyl)-thioalkanol or
a carboxylic acid ester thereof.

IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: A wireless terminal (501) and auxiliary system (505) are disclosed that
enable the wireless terminal to determine its location based on signals transmitted from
navigation satellites (503). In particular, the tasks of signal acquisition and signal
processing required of a wireless terminal in the prior art are divided between the
wireless terminal (501) and the auxiliary system (505) in accordance with the
illustrative embodiment. The auxiliary system assists the wireless terminal by acquiring
information about the satellites' ephemerides, by partially processing it and by
transmitting the partially processed information (via 504) to the wireless terminal in a
form that is useful to the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal then uses the partially
processed information from the auxiliary system to assist the wireless terminal in
acquiring the ranging signals from the navigation satellites quickly and when they are
weak.

position in which the vent passageway exit is fully covered
and is not fully covered, respectively. There is an
aperture (140) in a duct side wall which is closed when the
vent covers (24) is in the first operative position and
open to allow air to pass to or from the vent passageway
through the aperture when the vent cover (24) is in a third
operative position in which the vent passageway exit is
also fully covered. The vent cover (24) may be a second
vent cover, which are interlinked so as to be constrained
to move together, either towards each other to cover the

Abstract: Continuos preparation of homopolymers and copolymers by micromixture by impact of jets of fluids formed from monomer(s) and an initiator system comprises recovering mixture in the form of a jet stream. Continuous preparation of homopolymers and copolymers by micromixture by impact of jets of fluids formed from monomer(s) and an initiator system involves recovering a mixture in the form of a jet stream. The micromixture is obtained by forming at least one group of at least two jets of same or different fluid (Ja) which meet at the same point of impact, the jets having identical geometry and their axes being inclined at less than 90 degrees , directing at least one jet of a different fluid (Jb) onto the same point of impact to form a resultant jet (Jr), and recovering resulting mixture of polymers from Jr. An Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the above process.

Abstract: A trench MOSFET is formed in a structure which
includes a P-type epitaxial layer overlying an N+
substrate. An N drain region is implanted through the
bottom of the trench into the P-epitaxial layer, and
after a diffusion step extends between the N+ substrate
and the bottom of the trench. The junction between the
N drain region and the P-epitaxial layer extends
between the N+ substrate and a sidewall of the trench.
In some embodiments the epitaxial layer can have a
stepped doping concentration or a threshold voltage
adjust implant can be added. Alternatively, the drain
region can be omitted, and the trench can extend all
the way through the P-epitaxial layer into the N+
substrate. A MOSFET constructed in accordance with
this invention can have a reduced threshold voltage and
on-resistance and an increased punchthrough breakdown
voltage.

Abstract: An improved television is capable of demultiplexing, selecting and distributing information streams of different types of information to the television and to one or more television companion devices (TCDs). The television has a television antenna for receiving a broadcast signal having one or more types of information. Each information type has one or more segments. The television further has a transmitter for transmitting a communication signal to one or more television companion devices. The types of information can include any one or more of the following: a video channel, an audio channel, a data channel, one or more graphical images, and/or one or more animated images. The segments can include any one or more of the following: an audio clip or audio program, a video segment or video program, a still image, animation, graphics, 3D images, and/or a stream of text. The television communicates with the TCDs via a communication link. When the television communicates with the TCDs, it embeds an address into the message which identifies one or more of the TCDs to be the recipient of the message. Information streams and segments which are to be cutput by the television and/or one or more TCDs are selected by a selector that selects two or more segments from one or more of the types of information where one or more of the segments is displayed, e.g. on the television, and one or more of the segments are transmitted to one or more television, companion devices. In an alternative embodiment, if the automatic selection of information is desired, a Profile Subsystem which contains a profile of profile items in a database of information of interest to the viewer will control selection of one or more of the segments if the segments contain one or more profile items.

Abstract: A method for purifying commercial alkali metal silicate solutions involves passing the alkali metal silicate solution through a nanofiltration device having a membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of between about 400 to about 3,000 daltons. Preferably, the molecular weight cutoff is between about 400 and about 1,000 daltons and, more preferably, between about 400 and about 800 daltons. In this way, a large portion of impurities in alkali metal silicate solutions, which tend to become associated with higher molecular weight silicates, can be removed. A pressure differential may be used to drive the solution across the device, from which a permeate is withdrawn as a purified alkali metal silicate solution. The retentate from the device is preferably recycled to the feed alkali metal silicate solution to form a mixture, and the mixture is introduced to the nanofiltration device. Two or more devices, of decreasing molecular weight cutoff, may be used in series to obtain a more concentrated form of a purified silicate solution. When two devices are used, the second device has a molecular weight cutoff sufficient to allow water molecules to pass but to retain most of the remaining molecules. In order to achieve this, a molecular weight cutoff of approximately 100 to 600 daltons and, preferably, from about 150 to about 400 daltons, is suitable.
