Patent EP-0765930-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ALCOCK KENNETH
IPC: C10M135/10
Filed: 1993-08-07
Abstract: Sulphonates are prepared by the neutralisation of a sulphonic acid with a basic
hydroxide or oxide. The process requires the staged addition of sulphonic acid to
a reaction mixture comprising basic hydroxide or oxide dispersed in a
water/diluent mixture; the reaction mixture is basic throughout the additions of
acid and at least until the point of completion of the neutralisation reaction. The
basic hydroxide or oxide may also be added in stages. The sulphonate product
has low viscosity, low haze and good stability and is essentially chloride free as
halide promoters are not utilised in the manufacture of the product.

Abstract: Projection lenses for use with pixelized panels, e.g., LCD panels, are
provided. The lenses have a large focus range, e.g., a focus range of greater
than 0.05 and in many cases greater than 0.1, and a limited (mini) zoom
range, e.g., a zoom range of less than 15% (± 7.5% from the center of the
range). By limiting the zoom range, complex lens structures involving large
numbers of lens elements are avoided. In particular, the lenses employ at
most one additional lens element and in many cases no additional lens
elements compared to non-zooming lenses having a similar focus range.

Abstract: Coordination of information at the network-based
level between call centers connectable over a
telecommunications network, such as the telephone
network, and a packet network, such as the Internet,
creates improved integration of and bonding between a
customer's interaction with a Web site and with a call
center. Information about the customer and the
customer's Web interaction are delivered to the call
center agent along with the call, leading to increased
productivity and efficiency in call handling as well as
improved call routing. 
     Calls may be routed to existing call centers based
upon information from the Web experience, and
information from the user's Web interaction is shared
with the call center. Web interaction information is
passed to existing call centers using known call center
external control methods, such as DNIS signaling.
Information about the Web experience may also be
"whispered" to the call center agent, and an agent may
"push" Web pages for review by the customer. As a
result, customer acquisition and sales tools more
powerful than a mere click-to-callback tool can be made
available with a combined marketing approach using the
Web and call centers.

Abstract: A picture transmission system capable of establishing
arbitrary picture connections with picture inputting units exceeding
in number channel resources of a transmission medium for
multiplexing and transmitting video information taken through the
picture inputting units. A picture sending state storage unit
provided corresponding to each of the picture inputting units
virtually retains channel resources whose number equals the
number of picture outputting units to which the picture inputting
units are in connection. For picture connection switching from one
picture outputting unit to a different picture inputting unit, the
picture sending state storage unit gives its channel resource to the
different picture inputting unit. The system is provided with a
picture connection managing unit for controlling the picture
connections between the picture inputting units and the picture
outputting units. The picture connection managing unit accepts a
picture connection request to perform the centralized management
of channel resources of the transmission medium to allow dynamic
channel resource allocation. Under control of the picture connection
managing unit, the picture connection between the picture inputting
unit and the picture outputting unit takes place through an allocated
channel resource.

Abstract: A lancet has a needle (2) embedded in a plastics body 
(1), its tip (3) projecting from the forward end but being 
initially encased in a cap (4). This cap (4) is integrally 
moulded with the body, around the needle tip (3), and can be 
sheared away before use. The needle (2) can be pushed back 
in relation to the body (1) after use, conveniently by 
applying the cap (4) to the tip (3), until the tip is safely 
flush with, or set back with respect to, the leading end of 
the body (1). The rear end of the body (1) has a structure 
(9) to prevent the rear end of the needle (2) being pushed 
forwards again. To ensure that the tip disappears, the body 
(1) is formed with an intermediate, resiliently flexible 
bridge (17) stiff enough to remain rigid during pricking. 
But when the needle (2) is forced back and pressure is also 
applied to the part (18) of the body forward of the bridge 
(17), the needle (2) and that forward part (18) move back 
with respect to the rear part (19) of the body (1). Then the 
forward part (18) is released to move forwards, sprung by 
the bridge (17), leaving the needle (2) held by the rear 
part (19).

Abstract: A zipper closure for a reclosable plastic package 
has a tamper-evident, non-reclosable peel seal which 
gives a positive indication of having been broken when 
the package is first opened, and which is not 
resealable after being first opened. The zipper 
closure has a first web, to which a first polymeric 
resin material is bonded, and a second web facing the 
first and to which a second polymeric resin material 
is bonded. The first polymeric resin material has a 
great affinity for the second polymeric resin 
material. One of the first and second polymeric resin 
materials has a low cohesive strength, so that it will 
break rather than stretch under tension. Heated peel-seal 
sealing bars clamp the first and second web 
together, bonding the first and second polymeric resin 
materials to one another. When the peel seal is first 
opened, a portion of the one of the first and second 
polymeric resin materials having a low cohesive 
strength remains bonded to the other of the first and 
second polymeric resin materials and separates from 
the remainder thereof. The separation causes a 
whitening or discoloration in the adhesive, giving a 
visual indication that the peel seal has been broken. 
The invention also includes a method for making the 
tamper-evident, non-reclosable peel seal.

Abstract: A VPSA apparatus includes a first adsorbent
bed and a second adsorbent bed, a feed blower for
providing a flow of a gas mixture at about
atmospheric pressure to the beds, and a vacuum
blower for removing a flow of gas therefrom and
venting the gas to a space at atmospheric pressure.
The VPSA process causes the first adsorbent bed to
be poised for evacuation by the vacuum blower and
concurrently, the second adsorbent bed is under
vacuum conditions and is poised for pressurization
by the feed blower. A single motor is coupled by a
common shaft to both the feed blower and the vacuum
blower and operates both. A conduit/valve
arrangement is operative during at least a portion
of a process time when the adsorbent beds are in
pressurizing/evacuation states, respectively, to
couple the feed blower to the second adsorbent bed
when at vacuum and for concurrently coupling the
vacuum blower to the first adsorbent bed which is
to be evacuated. The feed blower is thereby caused
to operate in a gas expansion mode and imparts
expansion energy, via the common shaft, to the
vacuum blower. During idling conditions, a
valve-conduit system is controlled to enable
significant reductions in pressure rise across the
feed and vacuum blowers.

Abstract: A secure cellular telephony arrangement where the mobile unit
maintains a secret that is assigned to it by the service provider, and which
is known to the provider (home cellular geographic service are -- CGSA) but
not to any other base station. A shared secret datum is generated by the
home CGSA with the aid of the secret and some other data. That data is
transmitted to the mobile unit to enable it to also generate the shared
secret datum. A mobile unit wishing to communicate with a base station
creates an authentication string with the aid of the shared secret datum and
sends it and the unit's identity to the base station. A base station which
does not have the shared secret datum is unable to immediately
authenticate the mobile unit. It therefore contacts the home CGSA,
receives the shared secret datum and the other data, and proceeds to
authenticate the mobile unit's authentication string. With the information
received from the home CGSA the base station can direct the mobile unit to
regenerate the shared secret datum or even create a new one.
