Title: Elasticized disposable training pant and method of making the same
Inventor: BRIDGES RUSSELL PEARCE
IPC: A61F13/496
Filed: 1992-11-02
Granted: 1996-10-03
Abstract: A unitary disposable garment, such as disposable training pants, having a high degree of stretch in the cross-machine direction and fitting a broad range of wearer sizes. The unitary disposable garment is manufactured from a chassis and has a waist opening, two leg openings and a pair of side seams which join the front portion of the chassis to the rear portion of the chassis. The unitary disposable garment preferably has an absorbent assembly, i.e. an absorbent insert, secured to the inner layer of the chassis. The chassis from which the unitary disposable garment is manufactured, has four elasticized ear flaps; each ear flap is elasticized by securing an elastomeric element thereto and mechanically stretching the ear flap and the elastomeric element such that the ear flap is elastically extensible in the direction of initial stretching. The front portion of the chassis is then joined to the rear portion of the chassis on each side of the disposable garment by a seam.

Title: A method for producing bread from preserved dough
Inventor: KAGEYAMA MINORU
IPC: A21C3/02
Filed: 1989-07-14
Granted: 1991-11-07
Abstract: A method is provided for producing bread of a good quality from frozen dough. In this method the dough (4) is rested at least five minutes within a temperature range of 0 DEG C to 16 DEG C, before it is stretched. Such a dough rested at such a cool condition can be readily stretched, and the stability of the stretched dough is improved over the prior art. In the stretching step, the dough is stretched while being subjected to vibrations so that the dough can be stretched without imparting pressure exceeding the yield point of its elasticity. Thus during the stretching step the gluten network of the dough is unharmed.

Title: Method for the detection and/or analysis, by means of primer extension techniques, of single nucleotide polymorphisms in restriction fragments, in particular in amplified restriction fragments generated using AFLP
Inventor: KUIPER MARIUS TIEMEN ROELOF
IPC: C12Q1/6855
Filed: 2000-04-10
Granted: 2004-06-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the genotypes of polymorphic loci amplified in a mixture of restriction fragments, using an oligonucleotide sequence that is essentially complementary to part of the target restriction fragment, and located adjacent (upstream) to the polymorphism to be detected. The method involves contacting the mixture of restriction fragments with the oligonucleotide sequence under hybridization conditions, such that when the target restriction fragment is present, a hybrid is formed between the target restriction fragment and the oligonucleotide sequence. When the resulting hybrid has at least one unpaired nucleotide of the target restriction fragment and the oligonucleotide being present, and the at least one labeled nucleotide or nucleotide analog is complementary to the at least one unpaired nucleotide of the target restriction fragment directly adjacent to the 3' end of the oligonucleotide sequence, the nucleotide sequence is extended with a labeled nucleotide or nucleotide analog, which can be detected.

Title: Photographic processing
Inventor: RIDER CHRISTOPHER BARRIE
IPC: G03C5/31
Filed: 1990-02-01
Granted: 1992-08-27
Abstract: In known photographic processing apparatus, quality of the photographs produced can be adversely affected by drift in the paper processor of the apparatus. One cause of drift is incorrect replenishment of the chemicals used in the paper processor. In processing apparatus which utilise only small volumes of chemicals, drift can be caused by replenishment rates not matching the dye formed on the prints being processed, and an operator would need to take steps to adjust the processor. Described herein is an improved method of controlling the replenishment rate of chemicals in photographic processing apparatus. The method comprises deriving a control signal from the image to be exposed on to photographic material and using the derived signal to control the replenishment rate of the chemicals.

Title: Snack dispenser
Inventor: CASTLEBERRY BILLY J
IPC: G07F9/00
Filed: 1999-07-02
Granted: 2003-02-27
Abstract: A snack dispenser consists of a series of tiers stacked to resemble a wedding cake. Each tier includes a trough divided into slots. A snack may be placed into each slot. The front of each slot is transparent. The troughs or trays are mounted on a rotatable carousel. The carousel is covered with a backshell and a transparent front shell. The front shell has transparent doors therein. By inserting a proper amount of money and aligning the carousel so that the desired snack is beneath a door; the door may be opened and the customer may withdraw his snack from that slot. The opening of the door blocks the rotation of the carousel, blocks the opening of the remaining doors, and also resets or cancels the credit of the coins inserted. When the single door is closed again, all doors will be blocked so that a person can not again open a door until proper coins are inserted. To service the dispenser the front shell is removed. A segment of all tiers is removed. All segments are removed and collapsed from stacked position to flat position. Replenished flat segments are removed from a box, telescoped, and placed on the dispenser. The removed flat segments are placed in the box and the front shell replaced.

Title: Safety container for potentially explosive and/or environmentally hazardous substances
Inventor: SCHIWEK HELMUT
IPC: B65D90/04
Filed: 1994-01-07
Granted: 1997-06-12
Abstract: Large amounts of hazardous goods, especially liquid ones such as fuel, may be carried in safety containers, whether tank semitrailers, oil tankers, containers for hazardous goods or aircraft, and be transported with practically no risk for the environment, by completely filling the inside (10) of the container with glass wool, so that the hazardous materials or other fillings dispersed therein may not escape or be somehow spilled in the environment. The liquid components, for example hydrocarbons, are absorbed and held by a dense, water-proofed latticework (15), so that no oxygen can reach them. They are thus protected against explosions and spillage in the environment. At the same time, a safety container of this type acts as a kind of safety buoy, preventing water from entering the inside (10) of the container, so that the kerosene, gasoline or oil contained therein further increase buoyancy. As a whole, a simplification of the safety container design and a considerable increase in safety may be noted.
