Inventor: BRILL ULRICH
IPC: C22C19/05
Filed: 1990-03-08
Granted: 1991-11-21
Abstract: A heat-formable, austenitic Ni-Cr-Fe alloy having very good oxidation stability and heat resistance, as are desirable for advanced heat conductor applications, is proposed, which alloy starts from the known heating element alloy NiCr 60 15 and in which considerable improvements of the properties during use can be achieved by coordinated modifications of the composition. The alloy differs from the known material NiCr 60 15 in particular in that the rare earth metals are replaced by yttrium, that it additionally contains zirconium and titanium and that the nitrogen content is matched with the contents of zirconium and titanium in a particular manner.

Granted: 1996-12-05
Abstract: A system for inspecting ophthalmic lenses and including transport, illumination, imaging and image processing subsystems. The transport system moves a multitude of ophthalmic lenses along a predetermined path to move each of those lenses, one at a time, into a lens inspection position, and the illumination subsystem generates a series of light pulses and directs a respective one light pulse through each ophthalmic lens. The imaging subsystem generates a set of signals representing selected portions of the light pulses transmitted through the ophthalmic lenses, and the image processing subsystem receives those signals from the imaging subsystem and processes those signals according to a predetermined program to identify at least one condition of each of the lenses. <IMAGE>

Title: Oxidative conversion of methane to ethylene and ethane
Inventor: KIMBLE JAMES BAILEY
IPC: C07C2/84
Filed: 1986-05-19
Granted: 1988-03-31
Abstract: A method for the oxidative conversion of a feed material comprising methane, such as natural gas, to higher hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene and ethane and desirably ethylene, in which feed is contacted with a solid contact material comprising cobalt; at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zirconium, zinc, niobium, indium, lead and bismuth, preferably, zirconium; phosphorous; at least one Group IA metal; and oxygen under oxidative conversion conditions sufficient to convert the methane to the higher hydrocarbons. Substantial improvement in the conversion of methane and selectivity to ethylene and ethane is obtained by adding chlorine to the contact material. The further addition of sulfur to the contact material also improves the conversion and selectivity and permits the method to be carried out in an essentially continuous manner in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas.

Title: Methacoal integrated combined cycle power plants
IPC: F01K23/00
Filed: 1990-07-02
Granted: 1993-08-12
Abstract: Methacoal Integrated Combined Cycle Power Plants comprise a thermal separation plant for producing condensate liquid fuel and particulate carbonaceous fuel from Methacoal fuels, coal-methanol suspensoids or slurries; gas turbine generator plants for burning the liquid fuel to produce electric power; steam turbine generator plants for producing electric power; a boiler plant for producing steam for steam turbines; a small firebox for burning reative particulate carbonaceous fuel, with minimum retention time for high temperature combustion gases and minimum oxygen required for combustion, thus minimizing emissions of nitrogen oxides and hazardous ultra-fine particulates; and means for controlling ash fusion and slagging problems. The two generating plants are respectively sized to provide the capacity required, and to consume the two fuels in the proportions produced from the Methacoal fuels, during normal operations, allowing fuel inventory control. Gas turbine exhaust gases provide most combustion air for burning particulate fuel. Other uses of gas turbine exhaust heat facilitate control and achieving the high overall efficiencies. Capacity is about one-fourth gas turbine generated power to three-fourths steam turbine generated power for these new plants. Conventional combined cycle power plants have about two-thirds gas turbine generated power and only one-third steam turbine generated power. The invention facilitates low-cost retrofitting of steam power plants. New power plants will be much less costly than other coal or lignite power plants available, including fluid bed combustion plants and integrated gasification combined cycle plants.

Title: Low-profile composite material bedding foundation system
Inventor: QUINTILE MARK J
IPC: A47C23/02
Filed: 1996-06-05
Granted: 2000-07-06
Abstract: A low profile composite material bedding foundation system and methods of manufacture and assembly uses spring modules made of molded composite materials and supported by inner frame members. The low-profile of the spring modules, and the composite material spring property of return to uncompressed state from total depth deflection without set, greatly decreases the height of the bedding foundation in which the spring modules are attached directly to foundation frame members. The small size and simple geometry of the spring modules is especially suited for flexible arrangement and automated assembly of low-profile foundations.

Title: Microwave oven
Inventor: BUCK RONALD G
IPC: H05B6/68
Filed: 1980-08-22
Granted: 1984-05-17
Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling the food cooking time in a microprocessor controlled microwave oven in response to the remotely sensed condition of the food being heated. The average food temperature is constantly derived during cooking, utilizing user entered data on the food category, the food's initial mass, and the measured input power to the magnetron. The average current and average peak voltage input to the magnetron are sensed and the absorbed power in the food is derived using the magnetron efficiency. A self-calibrating analog to digital converter provides the magnetron input power in digital form for a microprocessor controller. In one embodiment the microprocessor sequentially derives the average food temperature as a function of cooking time using the entered food data, stored cooking coefficients previously determined by regression analysis, and the measured magnetron input power. In the preferred embodiment the microprocessor derives the cooking time as a function of the average food temperature using the entered food data, a stored constant previously determined by regression analysis, and the measured magnetron input power. In either embodiment means are provided so that the user may select the final food temperature within the range from "rare" to " well done" and cooking continues until the desired final temperature is reached.

Title: Gel-based therapy member
Inventor: STOUT EDWARD I
IPC: A61L15/00
Filed: 1987-02-09
Granted: 1990-07-12
Abstract: Improved therapy members useful for treating of sprains, muscle aches, orthopedic and skin injuries such as burns and other wounds are provided which make use of a pliable, self-sustaining, moisture sorbing gel including a humectant such as glycerin entrapped within a synthetic resin polymer matrix (e.g., a matrix containing acrylic acid or acrylamide monomer moieties). In one preferred embodiment, a body of the gel is encased within heat and moisture-permeable stretch fabric, and securing ties or the like are provided to permit the composite to be conformed to a body part and held in place. In use, such therapy wraps are either heated (as in a microwave oven) or refrigerated, so as to provide appropriate thermal treatment; it has been found that the preferred gel of the invention retains its pliability and other physical properties over a very broad temperature range, such as -20 DEG  to 305 DEG  F., and therefore the wraps of the invention can be used in many treatment contexts. It has also been discovered that the gel material can be applied directly to injured skin to in effect create a temporary skin with ideal air permeability. Furthermore, the moisture absorbing and desorbing properties of the gel create a moisture equilibrium between the gel, damaged skin and the atmosphere, thus promoting rapid healing.
