Granted: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A method is provided for minimizing the peak power level in a combination of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) tones. The method is particularly effective when the information to be communicated is digital data consisting of long patterns of "1"s or "0"s. The digital data of the message is combined with a scrambling vector before the data is modulated. The randomization of data patterns, in turn, leads to a more random combination of OFDM tone amplitude being transmitted. The message is recovered at the receiver by removing the scrambling vector. A  table of scrambling vectors is maintained at the transmitters and receivers. The table pointer to select the scrambling vector is selected in response to the position of the message in the communication structure. An OFDM communication system using the above-described method is also provided.

Abstract: Soap bars can be effectively packaged in substantially transparent materials so that the soap bar can be seen through the packaging material. This is particularly useful with decorative colored translucent soap bars. The soap bars first are at least partially enveloped in a first relatively thick and stiff substantially transparent film and then fully enveloped in a second relatively thin substantially transparent film. The soap bars are generally rectangular but with rounded edges and a shape that tapers in cross-section from a midpoint of the soap bar to the ends. The first film forms a substantially rectangular cylinder which envelops about 95 % to about 105 % of the soap bar. This rectangular cylinder is open at each end.  The second film fully envelops the soap bar. The end package provides a soap bar maintained within a rectangular cylinder with a low fragrance loss and a moisture transmissivity of less than about 3gm/m2/day.

Title: A robust hydrodynamic brush seal
Inventor: JUSTAK JOHN F
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 2001-04-03
Granted: 2007-07-10
Abstract: A brush seal (10) for sealing a circumferential gap between two relatively rotating machine components, e.g. the rotor (14) or shaft and stator (12) of a fluid flow machine, such as a gas turbine engine. One end of a plurality of seal bristles (16) is fixed in an annular shape and are mounted to the stator, and their opposite ends are attached to a number of individual shoes (24) located at the rotor. The shoes function very similarly to that of a tilting pad bearing shoe. Prior to shaft (14) rotation, the shoes are in contact with the rotor surface with preferably the leading edge (26) of each shoe set to have less contact than the trailing edge (28) of the shoe. As such, when the rotor begins to rotate, a hydrodynamic wedge is created which lifts the shoe slightly off the surface of the shaft allowing the shoe to effectively "float" over the shaft at a design gap.

Abstract: L'invention à pour objectif l'amélioration de la viande bovine et l'accroissement du niveau de persillage, ce qui peut être atteint en administrant au bétail de la vitamine C (acide L-ascorbique). L'administration par injections ou autres moyens est possible, mais l'administration orale est la plus pratique. Cependant la vitamine C ainsi administrée est digérée par des micro-organismes dans la panse, ce qui empêche d'obtenir les effets désirés. Il est donc nécessaire d'enrober la vitamine C pour qu'elle puisse traverser l'estomac et être absorbée dans l'intestin. L'huile de soja durcie est adéquate comme matériau d'enrobage. La dose quotidienne de vitamine C se situe environ entre 20 et 60 mg par kilo de poids. Selon un contrôle effectué sur la vache noire japonaise on observe peu de différence de rendement, mais des différences significatives sur la qualité de la viande quant au niveau de persillé, à l'éclat, à la tension et la texture entre un groupe traité et un groupe de référence.
