Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: A moisture-crosslinkable polyolefin material, comprising a silane-grafted polyolefin blend, and coatings or insulations, including heat-shrinkable coatings and insulations, prepared therefrom. The coating material is formed by a process comprising: (a) reacting a pre--blended mixture of polyolefin and polypropylene, or higher polyolefin, resins and optional compatibilising agent, with an appropriate silane and silane-grafting initiator to produce a silane-modified polyolefin blend composition; (b) forming the coating or insulating material by melt processing the composition produced in step (a) with a silanol condensation catalyst; and (c) crosslinking the formed coating or insulating material by exposing it to moisture, preferably at an elevated temperature.

Abstract: The chain-free conveying device for persons according to the invention has directly driven step bodies (11) which run forwards in one direction one after the other and run back more quickly thereunder. Each step body (11) runs on rollers (12, 12', 13, 13'), of which two (12, 12') are each driven by a respective electric motor (14. 14'). Each step body (11) includes a device for current supply. Moreover, each step body (11) has four sensors (15, 15', 16, 16') for determining the spacing from the next step body (11). A control electronic system (18) controls the electric motors (14, 14') in dependence on the signal of the sensors (15, 15', 16, 16'), so that the step bodies (11) run directly one after the other in the region (1) for the transport of persons. A respective tipping station (3, 4) for inclining the step bodies (11) is provided at each of the ends of the conveying device for persons. In a preferred form of embodiment the step bodies are directly driven by a friction wheel drive or, however, by means of additional toothed wheels.

Inventor: ROBINSON B ALEX
IPC: G06F3/0487
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: An enhanced text entry system using word-level analysis to auto-matically correct inaccuracies in user keystroke entries on reduced keyboards. The keyboard (105) may be a part of a touch-sensitive panel or display screen (100) or on a mechanical keyboard system.

Title: Liquid cooling of glassware molds
Inventor: FLYNN ROBIN L
IPC: C03B9/38
Filed: 2002-07-11
Abstract: A system for cooling molds in a glassware forming machine includes a pair of mold arms mounted on a hinge post for movement toward and away from each other, and at least one mold part carried by each mold arm and adapted to cooperate with each other to form a glassware blank mold or blow mold. Each mold part includes at least one coolant passage having an inlet and an outlet disposed at one end of the mold part, and oath mold arm has inlet and outlet coolant flow passages operatively coupled to the inlet and outlet of the mold part mounted on that arm. A liquid coolant source and a liquid coolant return are disposed adjacent to the hinge post. A first coolant passage extends through the hinge post between the coolant source and the inlet flow passages in the mold arms, and a second coolant passage extends through the hinge post between the outlet coolant flow passages in the mold arms and the coolant return. Thus, liquid coolant flows in a closed path front the source through the hinge post and the mold arms to the mold parts, and from the mold parts back through the mold arms and the hinge post to the return.

Title: Browser based command and control home network
Inventor: WOLFF ROBERT M
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 1998-06-24
Abstract: A method and system for commanding and controlling diverse home devices. A first home device capable of displaying user interface data is connected to a home network. A second home device stores user interface data that defines a user interface for commanding and controlling the second home device, also connected to the home network. The first device receives the user interface data from the second device over the network. The first device then displays the user interface as defined by the data. The user interacts with the user interface displayed on the first device by a control device. User input is accepted from the user responsive to the interaction. Control and command information is sent from the first home device to the second home device in order to control the second device according to the user input. Since the user interface can be displayed from any device, a single control device may control a plurality of different devices without requiring any change in the mode of operation of the control device.

Inventor: WESTWINKEL FLORIAN G
IPC: A47B96/00
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: A modular housing assembly is stacked in a vertical array of similar assemblies within a multi-drawer storage unit. A modular housing assembly includes a housing and a linear channel extending though opposite ends of the housing. The channel opens into the interior of the housing. Two bar end modules slide along the channel. The end modules may be connected to bar spacers cut from separate pieces to form assembled sliding bars. An actuator, including a fork and a cam, is provided to lock the sliding bars to prevent more than one drawer from opening at one time. The housing includes a pair of opposing, sloped surfaces to align an activator mounted on an associated drawer so that the activator will travel along a guide when the drawer is returned to its closed position. The actuator engages with the activator when the activator travels along the guide, causing the actuator to rotate within the housing, about a pin mounted between two walls of the housing. A modular housing and a kit for installing a modular housing assembly are also described.

Inventor: KUBOTA TADAHIRO
IPC: H01M8/10
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: In a fuel cell assembly comprising at least one cell including an electrolyte layer, a pair of gas diffusion electrode layers interposing said electrolyte layer between them, and a pair of flow distribution plates (5) for defining passages (10, 11) for fuel and oxidizer gases that contact said gas diffusion electrode layers, a heater (62) and various sensors (61a, 61b and 61c) are formed at least one of the flow distribution plates so that the work needed for installing the heater and sensors is simplified. By embedding them in a substrate, the need for a complex sealing arrangement can be eliminated. In particular, if each flow distribution plate is formed by performing an etching process on a substrate, and forming the heater and sensors in succession to the step of forming each flow distribution plate, the installation of sensors and fabrication of the fuel call are simplified.

Abstract: Une unité de disque dur comprend un disque, un microprocesseur de dispositif de commande, une interface de bus hôte, une mémoire tampon, un dispositif de commande de mémoire tampon et un dispositif de mise en forme du disque. L'interface de bus reçoit des opérations d'écriture et le dispositif de commande de la mémoire tampon stocke les données d'opération d'écriture dans la mémoire tampon dans l'ordre relatif dans lequel les opérations sont reçues. Le dispositif de commande de la mémoire tampon transfère ensuite les données d'une opération d'écriture de la mémoire tampon dans le dispositif de mise en forme du disque, qui formate les données et les écrit sur le disque. Le dispositif de commande de la mémoire tampon commande l'accès de lecture et d'écriture à la mémoire tampon. Le dispositif de commande de la mémoire tampon comprend un ensemble de registres d'adresses et un ensemble de registres de comptage de blocs. Le microprocesseur charge les registres d'adresses contenant les adresses dans la mémoire tampon des données pour au moins deux opérations d'écriture. Le microprocesseur charge les registres de comptage de blocs avec la taille, dans les blocs, des opérations correspondantes. Le microprocesseur envoie ensuite une commande unique au dispositif de commande de la mémoire tampon pour transférer les données identifiées par les registres d'adresses et les registres de comptage de blocs de la mémoire tampon dans le dispositif de mise en forme du disque. Les registres d'adresses et les registres de comptage de blocs permettent au dispositif de commande de la mémoire tampon de transférer les données de plusieurs opérations d'écriture dans n'importe quel ordre. Les dispositifs de commande de tampon de l'art antérieur sont capables de transférer les données de plusieurs opérations d'écriture uniquement dans le même ordre que l'ordre dans lequel les données sont stockées dans la mémoire tampon.
