Title: System and method for securing communications over low voltage power line
Inventor: SCHULZ GARY D
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 2006-04-26
Abstract: A system and method for securing communications over a low voltage power line are disclosed. At both a client and a bridge, an encrypted Ethernet communication from the low voltage power line is received. The encrypted Ethernet communication comprises a) an encryption key unique to one low voltage client and b) an Ethernet communication. Based upon the unique encryption key, the bridge decrypts the encrypted Ethernet communication to yield the Ethernet communication. At both a client and a bridge, an Ethernet communication is received. The Ethernet communication is encrypted using an encryption key that is unique to the client and sent as an encrypted Ethernet communication to the low voltage power line.

Filed: 2008-01-10
Abstract: This invention relates to a data storage system for use with a multi layered package in which each particular document in a selection of documents comprises a number of component elements or images that are selectable from at least two variants. Each document is stored on a storage medium in a readily accessible format and each document includes the appropriate coding to activate the variants selected for use with that document and when opened a particular document activates the various variant components for the document and these are appropriately sized and formatted for the particular document and displayed in the opened document. Also claimed is a data storage system where the components elements are overlaid design images which are stored as separate files on a medium such as preferably a CD. The layers of the created design preferably include an overall shape or outline that can be configured to produce envelopes. Only part of the shape or outline may be visible to the user. The invention has been developed for use by a craft designer.

Title: Combustor Wall Form for Improved Cooling
Inventor: AURIFEILLE EMMANUEL VICTOR JEAN
IPC: F23R3/00
Filed: 2008-05-28
Abstract: A combustor wall for a turbine engine has a first region 33 where the wall extends generally axially and a second region 16 where the wall extends generally radially. Between the first and second region is arranged a corner portion 28 having an angle of between 60 degrees and 90 degrees, and in use the angle of the corner causes a gas flow to separate from the wall. The gas flow may be a hot or fuel-rich gas 30, and the second region has at least one array of apertures 20, 22, 24, through which a cooling air may flow. The corner portion functions to delay the interaction between the cooling air flow through the apertures and the hot or fuel-rich gasses, and as such increases the ability of the cooling air to prevent the hot or fuel-rich gasses from reaching parts of the combustor wall. The corner may include a built-up portion which may be a thermally resistant ceramic material.

Title: Improvements in the Process of, and Apparatus for, Separating Rubber from the Fabrics of used Pneumatic Tyres.
Inventor: DEBAUGE HENRY
IPC: C08J11/08
Filed: 1916-07-19
Abstract: 100,961. Debauge, H. July 20, 1915, [Convention date]. Utilizing w a s t e rubber.-India-rubber is removed from tyre fabrics, without destroying them, by treatment in vacua with a solvent, at a temperature which produces strong ebullition (100 to 110‹ C. in the case of xylol). A circulating movement of the liquid is produced by acone-and-tube device e, i, similar to that used in laundry apparatus. The rubber is first stripped from the fabric by means of xylol or other solvent; the fabric is then treated with cold xylol in an ordinary washer to remove lightly-adhering rubber and to remove resins and free sulphur; next the fabric is placed in a cage d in an autoclave a containing pure xylol. The autoclave is connected with a reflux condenser g, which is connected by a pipe h to a vacuum pump. A coil b or other device is used for heating. The treatment in the autoclave is repeated: the fabric is then washed in clean xylol, again treated under pressure at a temperature of about 150‹, and finally washed and centrifugally treated, dried by means of a current of inert hot gas, and bleached. The liquids containing rubber can be used for dissolving the granular rubber derived from the stripping of the fabric. Specification 4541/15 is referred to.

Patent GB-822226-A (GB)
Title: Process for the production of an anti-tumor substance raromycin
Filed: 1958-04-02
Abstract: A new anti-tumour substance raromycin is produced by cultivating a raromycin-producing strain of Streptomyces albochromogenus, especially S. albochromogenus ATCC 13151, in an aqueous medium containing a source of carbon, nitrogen and inorganic salts under surface or submerged aerobic conditions.  A temperature of 25 DEG  to 40 DEG , and especially 28 DEG  to 38 DEG  C., is employed for 3 to 7 days (shaking) and 2 to 4 days submerged. Suitable sources of (a) carbon are glycerol, starch, dextrin, glucose, maltose fructose, sucrose, lactose and sugar molasses; (b) nitrogen are soybean meal, peanut meal, cottonseed meal, meat extract, peptone, corn steep liquor, yeast, urea, sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate; and (c) inorganic salts are sodium chloride, potassium phosphate, calcium carbonate. Raromycin is isolated from the broth by (a) solvent extraction and/or (b) adsorption.  The whole or the clarified broth may be extracted at pH 2.0 to 7.0 and preferably 2.5 by means of a water-immiscible solvent such as butanol, amyl alcohol, ethyl acetate or methyl isobutyl ketone.  The mycelium may be extracted by a watermiscible solvent such as methanol, ethanol or acetone. After removal of the solvent, an aqueous residue may be extracted with butanol or adjusted to pH 2.5 to 3.5 to precipitate the raromycin.  A solid residue may be dissolved in methanol or other solvent.  Impurities may be removed by adding ethyl acetate to the butanol or methanol solution and the raromycin precipitated by the addition of a nonsolvent such as ether, petroleum ether or benzene. Adsorption may be on activated carbon or an ion-exchange resin and elution is by means of methanol, aqueous methanol and similar solvents.  Raromycin is active against certain micro-organisms and tumours; it contains the elements C, H, O, S and N; it is soluble in methanol and ethanol, relatively soluble in water, butanol and ethyl acetate, slightly soluble in acetone and benzene and insoluble in ether and petroleum ether; exhibits a shoulder at 250-270 mm  but no maximum in the ultra-violet absorption spectrum; [a ]D + 11.0 DEG  (1 per cent in methanol).
