Title: An in-home digital video unit with combined archival storage and high-access storage
Inventor: KRAUSE EDWARD A
IPC: H04N5/85
Filed: 1996-04-19
Granted: 2007-02-20
Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved digital home video system providing recording and playback of compressed video programs using an archival storage medium; simultaneous recording and playback using the same archival medium; storage of multiple programs on a single videotape; a full array of trick mode functions;  efficient management of the contents of a video tape or other archival storage medium; and real-time random access to video program content, enabling truly interactive playback. These capabilities are provided by combining the best features of an archival storage medium such as digital video tape: namely, potentially large storage capacity, but low tolerance for variable data rate, and essentially linear program access; with the complementary features of a relatively high-access storage device such as a fixed disk drive: namely, tolerance for a highly variable data rate, and random access capability, but relatively lower storage capacity.

Granted: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A shipping container system and method of construction therefor are pro-vided which includes a container with an integrated pallet assembly. The system includes an inner shell, an outer shell, a cover assembly, and a pallet assembly. The outer shell is formed from a single sheet of material, preferably high strength cardboard, and is cut and bent such that four panels are created, each having a flap. The outer shell also has several holes located in the panels. The inner shell is formed in a similar manner, also having four panels, each with a flap. The pallet assembly includes a floor panel supported by several runners having notches. To assemble the shipping container system, the inner shell is placed within the upper portion of the outer shell and the pallet assembly is inserted into the lower portion of the outer shell. The outer shell panel flaps are then folded to provide support for the pallet assembly from underneath. The panel flaps of the inner shell are folded within the inner shell to provide support for the pallet assembly from above. So assembled, the pallet assembly is securely positioned between the flaps of the outer shell and the flaps of the inner shell. The system further includes that the holes in the outer shell panels align with the notches of the pallet assembly runners to allow the tines of a forklift or jack truck to engage the shipping container system.

Title: Catalyseur contenant un halogene et procede de fabrication
Inventor: FUKUNAGA TETSUYA
IPC: C07C15/00
Filed: 1998-06-05
Granted: 2007-10-30
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un catalyseur contenant un halogène et dans lequel l'élément halogène est réparti uniformément. Cette invention concerne plus particulièrement un catalyseur possédant un rapport  alpha  de 0,17 ou moins en ce qui concerne sa géométrie. Ce rapport est obtenu en effectuant une analyse linéaire et dans une direction des atomes halogènes dans la section du catalyseur. Cette analyse se fait à l'aide d'un micro-analyseur de type sonde électronique qui permet d'obtenir une courbe d'intensité (I) des rayons X par rapport à la distance (x) dans le sens de la largeur de la section (depuis l'une des surfaces du catalyseur). Le rapport  alpha  est défini par la formule (F-F0)/F où F représente la valeur d'intensité des rayons X qui est obtenue en intégrant la courbe I(x) susmentionnée entre l'une et l'autre surfaces du catalyseur, tandis que F0 est obtenue en intégrant la ligne tangente I0(x) de la courbe susmentionnée à son point minimal et le plus bas entre ces dernières. Cette invention concerne également un procédé de préparation de ce catalyseur contenant un halogène, lequel consiste à préparer un excipient, tel que de la zéolite L, qui va véhiculer l'halogène, puis à sécher l'excipient ainsi obtenu à une vitesse d'évaporation d'humidité qui est de 15 % en poids / heure ou moins. Ce catalyseur contient un halogène réparti uniformément et possède ainsi une activité de décomposition moindre qui permet de l'utiliser dans la préparation d'hydrocarbures aromatiques.
