Patent NO-944849-D0 (NO)
Inventor: DIAMOND GEORGE BERNARD
IPC: B65D83/14
Filed: 1994-12-14
Abstract: A low pressure aerosol dispensing can which is distinguished from existing high pressure aerosol dispensing cans. The generally cylindrical can has a thin wall thickness, like that of a carbonated beverage can, which can be distorted by finger pressure but whose shape is maintained by internal gas pressure. The liquid contents to be dispensed and the propellant gas are mixed in the can. The dispensing valve at the top of the can dispenses the liquid contents and propellant in a controlled manner. The valve may include an additional narrow bore vapor tap between the gaseous propellant head space in the can and the valve chamber for delivering extra gas for atomizing the liquid and propelling it from the nozzle. The gas pressure in the can is coordinated with the can wall and bottom thickness so that the can will have sufficient distortion resistance and burst resistance at elevated temperature. Yet the can has side walls of a thickness low enough to permit the can to be easily crushed by hand pressure when the can is empty.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid granular intermediate useful in chocolate production. In this process, a mixture comprising a bulk sweetener, milk material, cocoa liquor and water is stirred into a homogeneous mass, the mass is warmed with simultaneous kneading and subjected to a vacuum for removing water, and the kneading is continued under vacuum until crystallization of the mass takes place. The bulk sweetener consists mainly of a sugar alcohol, and the temperature of the mass is controlled so that at least a part of the bulk sweetener is present in solid state during the vacuum kneading. The invention also relates to the use of a product produced by the process for preparing chocolate, beverage or confectionery filling.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI95/00639 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 20, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 20, 1996 PCT Filed Nov. 20, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/16522 PCT Pub. Date May 30, 1996A testing equipment for a base station in a time division multiple access radio system employing timing advance is located at one base station site under control of a respective base station to perform test procedures on base stations. The testing equipment simulates the operation of a normal mobile station on the radio path, in test procedures. In contract to known systems, in which the maximum distance between the testing equipment and a base station to be tested is determined by the maximum value of a timing advance, the present testing equipment provides a preset timing advance offset (TDOFFSET), which shifts the normal timing advance range (TDNORMAL) in such a manner that the testing equipment is also capable of testing base stations the distance of which from the testing equipments is further than the maximum distance that would be determined by the maximum value of a normal timing advance.

Patent NO-972042-D0 (NO)
Inventor: CASIMATY GABRIEL
IPC: E01C19/20
Filed: 1997-05-02
Abstract: An apparatus, and related method, for laying sand and/or a sand reinforcement matrix onto a pre-prepared surface, includes an apparatus having a hopper for providing a matrix to be laid, a plunger at the forward end, in the sense of direction of movement of the apparatus, of the hopper and an element for reciprocating the plunger for taking material from the hopper and delivering it through an extrusion aperture in the rear thereof to an extrusion mold. The extrusion is effected by moving forwardly as pressure is applied to the matrix to be extruded and as the mold passes over the matrix. The extrusion of a sand, or a sand reinforcement, is compacted in the extrusion by using the weight of the apparatus against which the extrusion plunger acts together with the impaction of previously extruded material. The plunger moves forwardly so that material in the hopper can fall in front of the plunger; the plunger is moved rearwardly causing this material to move into the extrusion mold until compaction commences to take place, at which time compaction is increased until the pressure on the plunger is sufficient to physically cause the apparatus to move.

Title: Syringe pumps
IPC: F04B9/02
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: A syringe pump has a motor 9 rotating a leadscrew 8 to drive a plunger head actuator 10 along it. The head actuator 10 engages the plunger 35 of a syringe 3 and moves the plunger along the syringe barrel 30 to dispense medication. An optical encoder 20 mounted on the leadscrew 8 is rotated by the motor 9 to produce a pulse output. A control unit 11 times the interval between the pulses and compares these timings with a stored value representative of a predetermined multiple of the minimum time. If the head actuator 10 is obstructed, the speed of rotation of the motor 9 is slowed and the time interval between pulses rises. When this exceeds the stored value, the control unit 11 stops the drive to the head actuator 10 and generates an alarm. <IMAGE>

Title: Control method for a liquid crystal display
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: A method of enhancing the response time of a liquid crystal display comprises the steps of measuring the temperature (TLC ) of a liquid crystal material forming part of the display, applying a drive voltage signal to the liquid crystal material at a selected frame refresh frequency so as to display an image and selecting the frame refresh frequency depending upon the measured temperature of the liquid crystal material. In the event that the measured temperature is less than the predetermined temperature (step 38), a cold kick time period (Tcoldkick) is determined (steps 36) depending upon the measured temperature. A negative bias voltage is applied (step 44) across the liquid crystal material for the duration of the cold kick time period. The effect of adjusting the frame refresh frequency in accordance with the measured temperature and of applying a negative bias voltage to the display serves to significantly enhance the response time of the device. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-0206621-D0 (GB)
Title: Heat exchanger
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: First depressed portions are formed on transverse sides of an insert so that the magnitude of depression of the first depressed portions increases as the first depressed portions approach toward the associated transverse side of the insert, whereby, as the first depressed portions are located to constitute a lower side of a core when brazing (in an oven), a brazing material, which is fused and is then allowed to flow into the first depressed portions in a brazing process, can be accumulated for retention within the first depressed portions by the surface tension of the brazing material so accumulated therein. Consequently, as the dispersion of more of the brazing material to outer fins, which constitute the lower side of the core when brazing, can be prevented, the erosion of the outer fins, which would otherwise occur due to the dispersion of the brazing material, can be prevented.

Title: Pistons for internal combustion engines
Filed: 2007-01-19
Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a piston crown (2) and a cylindrical side wall (4), an annular piston ring groove (8) being formed in the side wall (4) which accommodates an annular spring (14). The spring (14) includes an annular radially extending portion (16) and first (20) and second (22) projections. The radially extending portion (16) divides the annular groove into two chambers in the axial direction of the piston. The upper chamber closest to the piston crown accommodates an annular compression ring (10). The lower chamber furthest from the piston crown accommodates an annular oil scraper ring (12). The first projection (20) is arranged to contact the upper surface closest to the piston crown of the annular groove (8). The second projection (22) is arranged to contact the inner surface of the oil scraper ring (12) to urge it outwardly. The height of the upper chamber in the axial direction is greater than that of the compression ring (10), whereby in use, the pressure acting on the piston crown will act also on the inner surface of the compression ring (10) and urge it in the outward direction.

Title: Pressurised containers
IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 1989-01-30
Abstract: A container (10) for pressurised fluid, e.g. carbon dioxide, is fitted with a self-sealing valve (11) comprising a valve body (12), a valve stem (13) mounted in the valve body for axial movement relative thereto, and a valve member (14) connected to the inner end of the valve stem.
