Title: Apparatus and related method for rapid cure of sol-gel coatings
Inventor: DUAN ZHIBANG JIM
IPC: B29C35/08
Filed: 2001-12-19
Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: This invention resides in an apparatus (10) and related method for rapidly curing thin film sol-gel coatings, particularly such coatings adhered to low melting temperature plastic substrates (16), whether rigid or flexible, without deforming the substrate. The curing is achieved using IR heating lam ps (18) and dry or humid hot gas flow. This curing densifies the sol-gel coatin g and provides desired optical and mechanical properties. The use of IR lamps (18) and hot-gas nozzles (20), either singularly or in combination, produces a rapid cure by effectively heating the thin film coating layer. In this manne r, a sufficiently high temperature can be attained in the film layer, to densif y the sol-gel coating, but for a sufficiently short time duration to avoid melting or otherwise deforming the substrate. The sol-gel coatings can be cured two to three orders of magnitude faster than with conventional oven curing, leading to significant cost reductions and manufacturing efficiency.

Title: Steerable antenna and receiver interface for broadcast
Inventor: SCARPA CARL
IPC: H01Q3/24
Filed: 2001-12-20
Granted: 2007-01-30
Abstract: Antennas with steerable antenna patterns and techniques for using such antennas are described. In accordance with the invention, antenna patterns with one or more NULLs are used. Through the use of digital control signals the antenna pattern is streered so that a source of signal interference, e.g., a multipath signal, will be located in a NULL. In this manner the received signal's S/N ratio can be maximized thereby facilitating demodulation. The techniques of the invention can be applied to television, computer devices, mobile devices and a wide range of other systems. Digital commands to control (304) an antenna may include multiple information fields, e.g., a direction field, a channel field, a gain field (410) and a polarity field. Antennas incapable of supporting the specified fields disregard information in fields which are not supported. Information in each supported field is decoded and used to adjust the corresponding antenna characteristic.

Title: Intraoral discluder and method for relieving migraine and tension headaches and temporomandibular disorders
Inventor: BOYD JAMES P
IPC: A61C5/14
Filed: 2005-02-21
Granted: 2012-10-02
Abstract: An intraoral discluder for preventing chronic tension headaches, common migraine headaches, and temporomandibular disorders that are caused or perpetuated by chronic activity of the temporalis muscle. The discluder includes a trough, contoured to encompass at least one maxillary or mandibular incisor, from which extends a protruding platform, for engagement by the opposing incisors. The trough can be retained on the teeth by any adaptable material than can flow around the teeth and then maintain its shape. Once in place in the wearer's mouth, one or two opposing incisors will come into contact with the platform prior to the upper and lower posterior and/or canine teeth coming into contact, regardless of the position of the mandible, thereby reducing the intensity of the activity of the temporalis muscle. In addition, a special post on the discluder's platform is engageable directly with one or more opposing incisors, to act as a stop and thereby inhibit excessive retrusive movement of the mandible and urge the mandible toward a more protrusive position. This can reduce the intensity of undesired clenching, and it can enhance the size of the wearer's pharyngeal airspace, thereby reducing the incidence and severity of snoring.
