Abstract: A modular conveyor belt (20) is formed of rows of belt modules (23, 26) pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods (80). The modules (23, 26) include a top, product conveying surface (44) and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules (23, 26) have a plurality of first link ends (32) disposed in the direction of travel (35) of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends (38) disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes (68, 71) in the link ends (32, 38) are aligned to accommodate a pivot rod (80). When the link ends (32, 38) of the consecutive rows of side by side modules (23, 26) are intercalated, the pivot rod (80) serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. The transverse holes (68, 71) are disposed at an angle (.theta.) relative to the top surface (44) of the belt module (23, 26) such that when the belt modules (23, 26) are connected to form a belt (20) the transverse holes (68, 71) in adjacent link ends (32, 38) are disposed at opposite angles (.theta.).

Title: Manufacturing a dental implant drill guide and a dental implant superstructure
Inventor: POIRIER MICHEL
IPC: A61C13/265
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: Dental implant drill holes and the shape of a dental implant superstructure are chosen by creating a computer model giving jawbone structural details, gum surface shape information and proposed teeth or dental prosthesis shape information. The computer model shows the bone structure, gum surface and teeth images properly referenced to one another so that implant drill hole positions can be selected taking into consideration proper positioning within the bone as well as proper positioning with respect to the dental prosthesis. Similarly, manufacture of the dental implant superstructure used for fixed dental prosthesis or overdentures can be designed based on knowledge of the actual implant positions referenced to an image of the gum surface and proposed dental prosthesis.

Abstract: A method and composition for producing hydrogen by water split reaction, at near neutral pH conditions and without requiring preheating of the reactant materials. Metallic aluminum in particulate form is combined with a metal oxide initiator that raises the temperature of the reactant material upon exposure to water, to a level which initiates reaction of water with the aluminum to generate hydrogen, and a catalyst that creates progressive pitting of the metallic aluminum to prevent passivation. The metal oxide initiator may be an alkaline metal earth oxide, with calcium oxide being preferred. The catalyst may be a water soluble inorganic salt having an aggressive anion, such as the halides, sulfites, sulfates and nitrates of alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals, with sodium chloride being preferred. The metallic aluminum may be in the form of a milled particulate, and may be combined with the salt catalyst in a mechanical alloy. The reaction initiates upon adding normal tap water at ambient temperature, and is capable of generating hydrogen at low pressures or at elevated pressures of 7,000 psig or more. The reaction products can be recycled or disposed of safely without presenting hazards to the environment.

Abstract: An accelerometer and rate sensor package to aid gravity gradiometers is provided. The accelerometer and rate sensor package is mounted directly on or within a gravity gradiometer instrument (GGI). Outputs from the sensors can be used to reduce unwanted noise due to angular rotational rates, angular accelerations and linear accelerations that may be coupled to the GGI. Since the sensor assembly is directly mounted on or within the GGI, the sensor assembly is coupled to the GGI and senses the acceleration and angular rates as seen by the GGI. Thus, outputs from the GGI can be corrected more effectively using the sensor assembly's outputs.

Title: Filter for impulse response shortening, with addition spectral constraints, for multicarrier transmission
Inventor: HARIKUMAR GOPAL
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 1999-04-05
Abstract: A channel in a multiple carrier communication system is equalized by computing a desired spectral response, shortening the impulse response of the channel so that a significant part of an energy of the impulse response is confined to a region that is shorter than a target length and filtering the signal based on the desired spectral response. A multiple carrier communication system may include a primary impulse shortening filter that receives an output signal of an analog to digital converter and accepts coefficients. A secondary impulse shortening filter may receive the output signal of the analog to digital converter, output an output signal, and pass coefficients to the primary impulse shortening filter. A reference signal generator may output a reference signal. A comparator may compare the output signal and the reference signal and output a resulting error signal. An adaptive processor may compute coefficients for the secondary impulse shortening filter based on the error signal.
