Patent AU-1941900-A (AU)
Title: Injector/valve combination designed to improve color dosing response time
Inventor: RAGSDALE MARK E
IPC: B29B7/60
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved injector/valve combination which permits nearly immediate response time to an actuator signal. Such a combination is particularly suited for injecting colorants into polyurethane slabstock foam and permits a substantial reduction in foam waste due to low colorations during an on/off cycle. Specifically, this invention combination comprises a novel ball valve (43) which allows for instantaneous shut-off and -on without appreciable leakage or pressure drop and without the need to utilize a high throughput flow rate. Such a ball valve (43) is used in combination with an injector (66) which is actually attached to the valve, the configuration which permits continuous use and instantaneous on/off without a deleterious pressure drop and minimizes the possibility of turbulence as the liquid polymeric colorant flows through the injector. The ball valve (43), the attached injector (66) configuration, the coloring apparatus comprising the inventive ball valve and/or the attached injector configuration, and the slabstock foam colored through the utilization of such an apparatus are also contemplated within this invention. <IMAGE>

Title: Chromatographic separation of sugars using porous gel resins
IPC: C13B20/14
Filed: 1992-09-28
Abstract: The present invention is a process for the chromatographic separation of a liquid mixture comprising a first sugar component and at least one secondary component chosen from second sugars, organic acids and salts thereof, alcohols, amino acids, and inorganic salts. In the process, the liquid mixture is contacted with a stratum of a porous gel cation-exchange resin and thereafter eluted such that the first sugar component passes through the stratum at a different rate relative to the secondary components of the liquid mixture. The separation results in a first recoverable product stream rich in the first sugar component and at least one secondary product stream rich in the secondary components. The porous gel cation-exchange resin is prepared by polymerization of at least one monovinylidene monomer with a cross-linking monomer in the presence of an inert diluent. The use of such porous gel resins in the process increases kinetics, improves yields of desired sugar components, and results in a more efficient separation process. The invention is particularly applicable to separation of glucose from fructose in the preparation of high fructose corn syrup.

Title: Compressible ply for printing blankets
Inventor: CASTELLI FRANCESCO
IPC: B29C35/02
Filed: 1993-03-24
Abstract: A laminated printing blanket having compressible and resilient properties and a method for its production are provided. The compressible characteristics are provided by disposing an intermediate layer having substantially uniformly distributed voids of substantially uniform size between the base ply and the working surface of the printing blanket. The voids of the compressible intermediate layer are formed by introducing high melting point microspheres formed from thermoplastic resins into an elastomeric matrix, coating said microsphere containing elastomeric matrix upon an upper surface of the base ply and then vulcanizing the coated base ply at a temperature of between about 80-150° C. for between about one and six hours to form the compressible layer having substantially uniform compression characteristics. Once all of the layers of the blanket are stacked, a final vulcanization treatment at between about 132-160° C. for between about 30 minutes to sixteen hours at a pressure between about atmospheric and 6 kg/cm2 in a known manner completes the curing of all the layers to produce a laminated printing blanket.

Title: Television receiver
Inventor: GEIGER ERICH
IPC: H04B1/20
Filed: 1989-08-02
Abstract: A control arrangement for a home entertainment unit, including a television receiver and one or more peripheral devices, such as a video recorder, coupled to the television receiver, includes a single remote control transmitter for transmitting a remote control signal to the television receiver, which, in turn, passes on control instructions to the peripheral devices. To allow such a remote control operation, even when one or more of the peripheral devices is produced by a manufacturer different than that of the television receiver and which therefore requires a different remote control code, the television receiver has a memory in which, under the control of a microprocessor, the remote control codes allocated to respective function control keys of the remote control transmitter supplied with a peripheral device are stored during a learning process. During the learning process, the screen of the television receiver displays messages for instructing the user which function control key of the remote control transmitter associated with the peripheral device to press. Thereafter, when a device function control key of the remote control transmitter supplied with the television receiver is pressed, the microprocessor, working in conjunction with the memory, converts or translates the codes contained within the received remote control messages to codes corresponding to the peripheral device and a correspondingly encoded remote control signal is relayed by the television receiver to the peripheral device.

Title: Weighted open loop power control in a time division duplex communication system
Inventor: ZEIRA ARIELA
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: Outer loop/weighted open loop power control controls transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division duplex communication station. A first communication station (110) transmits a communication to a second communication station including target adjustment information generated at the first station on the basis of measured error rates of communications from the second station to the first station. The second station receives the communication and measures its received power level. Based on in part the received communication's power level and the communication's transmission power level, a path loss estimate is determined. A quality of the path loss estimate is also determined. The transmission power level for a communication from the second station to the first station is based on in part weighting the path loss estimate in response to the estimate's quality and based on the receive target adjusted by the target adjustment information transmitted from the first station.
