Title: Device and method for delivering fiber into a body
Inventor: MORIN ARMAND
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1998-09-30
Granted: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A device, and related method, for introducing fiber material into a body includes a tubular member with a lumen extending to an opening in a distal end portion of the tubular member and a mechanism in the tubular member for passing the fiber material through the lumen and the opening and into the body. The mechanism can be a helical member rotatable within the tubular member to convey the fiber material through at least a portion of the lumen, out of the opening, and into the body, and the fiber material can be particles in a carrier that are injected into the lumen by a syringe coupled to the tubular member. The mechanism alternatively can be a sleeve slidable within the tubular member to force the fiber material through at least a portion of the lumen, out of the opening, and into the body, and the fiber material can be a suture or thread that is fed into a distal portion of the tubular member where it collects until it is forced out of the opening by the sleeve. The mechanism also can be a push rod slidable within the tubular member to push the fiber material through at least a portion of the lumen, out of the opening, and into the body, and the fiber material can be one or more pellets.

Title: Precast concrete wall system
Inventor: PULTE WILLIAM J
IPC: B28B7/00
Filed: 2001-06-12
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: The present invention is for an adjustable casting tool for forming various sized precast concrete wall sections and reduces or eliminates large inventories of precast concrete wall sections having a wide variety of dimensions. A base is disposed generally in a horizontal plane and has an upper surface. A pair of opposing sidewalls are disposed proximate the upper surface. Each of the sidewalls has a first position in which the sidewall is located substantially in a vertical plane. First and second opposing bulkheads are disposed proximate the upper surface, each having a respective first position in which the bulkhead is located substantially in a vertical plane. The bulkheads are arranged to abut the pair of opposing sidewalls so that the inner surfaces of the sidewalls, the bulkheads, and the upper surface of the base define a form for receiving concrete to make the precast concrete wall section. The first bulkhead is configured for movement so as to vary a first dimension of the form, and thus the dimension of the concrete wall section.

Title: Methods and apparatus for wireless transmission using multiple description coding
Inventor: MASSON FRANCOIS
IPC: H03M7/34
Filed: 2001-10-17
Granted: 2006-04-04
Abstract: A multiple description coder generates a number of different descriptions of a given portion of a signal in a wireless communication system, using multiple description scalar quantization (MDSQ) or another type of multiple description coding. The different descriptions of the given portion of the signal are then arranged into packets such that at least a first description of the given portion is placed in a first packet and a second description is placed in a second packet. Each of the packets are then transmitted using a frequency hopping modulator, and the hopping rate of the modulator is selected or otherwise configured based at least in part on the number of descriptions generated for the different portions of the signal. For example, in an embodiment in which two descriptions are generated for each portion of the signal, a first description for a current one of the portions of the signal is placed in a current packet along with a second one of the descriptions for a previous portion of the signal, and the frequency hopping rate of the modulator is doubled relative to a hopping rate used for single description transmission.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de cristallisation selon lequel une température de base est sélectionnée de manière à obtenir un cristal avec une morphologie désirée (par exemple carrée). Un changement de température est alors introduit, dans la mesure où ce changement ne suffit pas à induire une plus grande nucléation, où les cristaux continuent de s'agrandir de la manière désirée mais avec une cinétique différente, par exemple un taux de cristallisation plus élevé. On obtient avec ce procédé un produit cristallin à la morphologie désirée et au taux de cristallisation plus élevé.

Title: Gel purge formulations and methods of cleaning extruders by using the same
Inventor: WALDROP MARK W
IPC: B29C48/03
Filed: 2002-02-06
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: Methods for cleaning screw extruder, especially powder-coating extruders, include filling the extruder barrel with a gel purge formulation comprised of a high-boiling pyrrolidone or piperidone (lactam) solvent (most preferably N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP)), thickened with 5-50 wt.% of a thermoplastic resin thickening agent, most preferably polystyrene (PS). Once the extruder barrel is filled with the gel purge formulation, the screws are stopped and the gel allowed to soak for between about 10 to about 30 minutes. The screws are then restarted and the gel is discharged from the extruder. Immediately after the gel purge formulation exits the machine, a small amount of a thermoplastic "rinse" polymer (e.g., polyethylene) may be added so as to remove any vestigial amount of the gel purge formulation therefrom.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump has impellers for pumping low flow, high viscous materials. The impellers have high exit angles greater than 30 degrees and preferably greater than 50 degrees. The impellers and diffusers have specific geometry that varies with viscosity. The pump has zones of impellers and diffusers with the exit angles and geometry in the zones differing from the other zones. The exit angles decrease and geometry varies in a downstream direction to account for a lower viscosity occurring due to heat being generated in the pump. One design employs small diameter impellers and high rotational speeds.
