Inventor: SHOTBOLT KEITH
IPC: E21B17/01
Filed: 1999-11-23
Abstract: A mid-water tethered buoyant support assembly for a riser system for use in water is described to bring fluids from seabed equipment to a production vessel at the surface. The tethered buoyant support assembly comprises at least two tethers (6) from seabed anchors, at least one beam assembly (2) extending between and connected to the tops of the tethers, buoyancy means (7) to maintain tension in the tethers, and hangers (10) for lower riser portions mounted at spaced positions along the beam assembly, each hanger (10) being positioned so that the line of action of the tension due to the weight of the suspended lower riser portion is close to or on a line extending between the connections of the beam to the tethers (6) to minimize or eliminate turning moment to the beam assembly (2) tending to cause rotation of the beam around its major axis as a result of the weight of the suspended lower riser portion. The assembly is particularly designed for use in deep water.

Abstract: A method for producing a polyelectrolyte membrane, including the step of immersing a basic polymer such as a polybenzimidazole in a strong acid having a concentration sufficient to impregnate the basic polymer with six or more strong acid molecules per polymer repeating unit of the basic polymer at a temperature of not less than 30° C. for a period of 5 h or less, as well as a fuel battery having the polyelectrolyte membrane. Hence, the times required to immerse the basic polymers in the strong acids can be shortened and the proton conductivity of the polyelectrolyte membranes can be improved.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'un ester 1-méthylique (néotame) de N-[N-(3,3-diméthylbutyl)-L-α-aspartyl]-L-phénylalanine comme édulcorant dans des compositions de chewing-gum. On a découvert que les chewing-gums présentaient un profil de saveur sucrée prononcée avec un niveau extrêmement bas d'utilisation d'édulcorants. L'utilisation de néotame comme édulcorant dans des compositions de chewing-gum permet également d'augmenter le goût sucré et la saveur comparativement aux propriétés attendues de l'utilisation d'autres ingrédients édulcorants.

Abstract: In an array antenna used in a transceiver in a
time division communication system such as TDD (Time Division
Duplex) system, amplitude and phase of each antenna
element are calibrated in a transceiver itself during
actual communication without using external information. A
first transmitter (1-3-1) has means (1-5-1) to send a
transmit signal to an antenna element (1-1-1) as well as to
at least one of the receivers (1-4-1 through 1-4-N). Other
transmitter (1-3-2 through 1-3-k) except the first transmitter
has means (1-5-k) which sends a transmit signal to a
related antenna element (1-1-2 through 1-1-k) as well as to
a first receiver (1-4-1) which relates to the first transmitter.
Amplitude/phase value obtained in the first
receiver (1-4-1) and amplitude/phase values obtained in
other receivers (1-4-2 through 1-4-k) except the first
receiver provide weighted amplitude/phase values of each
antenna elements according to desired desired radiation
pattern.

Filed: 2000-01-10
Abstract: A safety band (3) of a sealing unit (1) has two retaining noses (12a, 12b; 13a, 13b) arranged in diagonally facing pairs. The retaining  noses (12a, 12b; 13a, 13b) standing out on the clear opening of the safety band (3) are axially displaced. When the bottle (17) is closed, the pair of retaining noses (12a, 12b) is first split and then glides on the retaining rib (15). After that the retaining noses (13a, 13b) that are displaced 90 DEG  are split and also glide beneath the retaining rib (15). When the bottle is opened the retaining noses (13a, 13b) are first retained on the retaining rib (15) and the connecting webs (9) to the screw-type cap (2) are broken. Afterwards, the remaining webs (9) are also broken once the axially offset retaining noses (12a, 12b) are obstructed by the retaining rib (15).

Title: Reliability of vias and diagnosis by electronic beam probing.
Inventor: XIA WILLIAM
IPC: H01J37/28
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: Electronic devices, such as IC devices, are tested by determining a failure net within the electronic device that is causing a device failure. After identifying the failure net, the failure net is locally stressed. The stress is applied so that only the net being tested is subjected to the stress, and the remaining nets and components of the device are not stressed. A change in a signal produced by the failure net is observed while the failure net is being subjected to the stress. Testing in this manner assists in identifying the failure net as a failure source of the device.

Abstract: An immunoassay cassette 10, apparatus, and method for detecting an analyte in a liquid body-fluid sample are disclosed. The cassette 10 has a body 12 and a support mounted on the body 12, for movement toward and away from a sample transfer position. A sample supplied to a sample well 18 in the cassette body 12 is taken up by a reagent reservoir 24 containing a first reagent composition effective to react with one or more sample components to form a modified sample. The support 12 provides a reagent strip 30 having a transfer zone 32 that is brought into contact with the reservoir 24, when the support 14 is moved to its transfer position, a detection zone 34 located downstream of the transfer zone 32, and a second reagent composition effective to react with the modified sample to form a detectable analyte-dependent product. By controlling the movement of the support 14 toward and away from its transfer position, the volume and rate of sample flow from the reservoir 24 to the strip 30 can be controlled to optimize and/or standardize sample-transfer conditions in the assay. <IMAGE>An immunoassay cassette 10, apparatus, and method for detecting an analyte in a liquid body-fluid sample are disclosed.
