Abstract: A method of reducing uncontrolled flow of a molten polymer during the packing and cooling stage of an injection molding cycle, wherein a plurality of polymers are injected between a mold cavity and core for making a multi-layer plastic article having upper and lower regions and a tapered region there between which decreases in wall thickness as it approaches the upper region, wherein during the molding cycle at least one first polymer is injected to form an exterior layer and at least one second polymer is injected to form an interior layer, and wherein the second polymer forms a flow front having a leading/trailing edge, the method comprising the step of: selecting the width of the tapered region, as defined between the mold cavity and core, such that the interior layer extends substantially up to the upper region at all points around the circumference and the second polymer does not reverse flow during the packing and cooling stage. <IMAGE>
Patent NO-992829-D0 (NO)
Inventor: MCKENNY COLIN J
IPC: C04B24/10
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: The invention is directed at an additive for incorporation into a cementitious compound comprising Portland cement and water prior to the setting of the compound. The additive is comprised of a surface treated additive wherein the surfaces of the additive are treated with a substance which has a transient hydrophobic effect on the additive, which effect temporarily renders the additive more hydrophobic for a time period following the incorporation of the additive into the compound such that the water comprising the compound is less attracted to the additive during the placement of the compound and is thus available to provide workability to the compound, and such that the additive regains its natural properties following placement of the compound in order to permit the additive to participate with the compound during the curing of the compound. The invention is also directed at a process for preparing the additive and a process for preparing a cementitious compound comprised of the additive.

Title: Method of and apparatus for converting an audio signal between data compression formats
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: Useful subband information which is present in a first audio signal (for example, MPEG 1 Layer II) is discarded in the conventional approach of format conversion, only to be regenerated when encoding to the target format (for example, MPEG 1 Layer III).

Title: Transceiver with a test mode of operation
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2003-11-10
Abstract: A system 100 comprising a host device 110 and a transceiver 120 coupled to the host device is provided. The transceiver 120 is configured to receive a request from a host and cause a test mode of operation to be entered in response to receiving the request. The transceiver may send further requests to the transceiver during the test mode such as a request to perform a calibration step. In response the transceiver may confirm to the host, by sending an "indicator", that it has carried out a request. The host may use the "indicators" to determine whether all calibration steps have been performed, and if they have all been performed it will instruct the receiver to return from test mode to customer mode. The transceiver is preferably suitable for use in fibre optic communication but the host and transceiver are coupled electrically. The transceiver may include memory for storing the requests or/and indicators.
