Title: Continuous method for producing amino- and/or phenoplasts
Inventor: BERBNER HEINZ
IPC: B29C48/38
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous process for preparing aminoplastics and/or phenolics, in which a precondensate solution is prepared in a first extruder (14), the precondensate solution is continuously fed, with addition of additives, to a second extruder (20) with partial filling in the feed section (E) and devolatilization section (G), devolatilized in the second extruder (20) and then formed to give a molding composition or an end product. The process is particularly suitable for preparing melamine resins, in particular melamine-formaldehyde resins, as well as for preparing urea-formaldehyde resins.

Abstract: A process for forming flexible cutting line for use in rotary vegetation trimmers of the type having two or more monofilament lines mounted on a common spool. The line produced by the process of the present invention defines two monofilament strands joined together in a side-by-side relationship by a severable bond. Each strand defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced and outwardly projecting vegetation cutting edges thereon, two of the edges on one of the strands being in parallel contact with two of the edges on the other strand so as to define a pair of parallel readily severable welds bonding the strands together in a side-by-side disposition. The line forming process includes the steps of extruding the strands such that two of the edges on one strand are in proximate disposition and opposed parallel alignment with two of the edges on the other strand, directing the extruding strands together in edge-to-edge parallel contact along the opposed edges such that an enclosed space is defined between the strands so that the heat in the strands can create a positive pressure in the enclosed area to prevent inseparable fusion of the strands. The strands are then directed in edge-to-edge contact into a cooling quench bath, and pulled through the bath to effect crystallization and bonding together of the strands in an adjacent disposition along two readily severable parallel welds defined by the contacting edges.

Abstract: A distributed biometric identification system incorporates stand-alone workstations. The system generally includes a plurality of stand-alone workstations capable of communicating with a central server remotely located from the workstations. The workstations receive input biometric data, such as fingerprint and photographic data, and compares that data to biometric data stored in the workstation. The workstation compares the input biometric data with stored biometric data to determine whether any of the stored biometric data matches the input biometric data. The results of the comparison are provided to the workstation screen. Workstation mobility is improved by housing the workstation in a self-contained, compartmentalized carrying case. Workstation mobility may be even further enhanced by housing the workstation in a so-called lunchbox configuration having a main body, a front panel hinged to the main body, and a back panel hinged to the main body. The front and back panels each have a stowed position adjacent the main body, and a deployed position away from the main body. When the panels are in their stowed positions, the workstation (i.e., main body, front panel, and back panel) is a compact, portable unit.

Abstract: A system is provided to classify the gaze direction of an individual
in which frequently occurring head poses of the individual are automatically
identified and labelled according to their association with the
surrounding objects. In conjunction with processing of eye pose,
each observed head
pose of the individual is automatically associated with a bin in a "pose-space
histogram". This histogram records the number of occurrences of different head poses
over an extended period of time. Given observations of a car driver, for example,
the pose-space histogram develops peaks over time corresponding to
the frequently viewed directions of toward the dashboard, toward the mirrors,
toward the side window, and straight-ahead. Each peak is labelled using
a qualitative description of the environment around the individual, such as
the approximate relative directions of dashboard, mirrors, side window, and
straight-ahead in the car example. The labelled histogram is then used to
classify the head pose of the individual in all subsequent images.

Abstract: There is provided a soldered article comprising a component having a Cu
conductor joined with a solder, wherein the solder comprises 0.1 to 2.0% by weight
of Cu, 1.0 to 7.5% by weight of Bi, and the balance being Sn. 
     By using the above described lead-free solder, the occurrence of leaching is

Abstract: A facsimile machine for single sheets comprises an ink-jet printing head (54) and a line feed device (41) mounted upstream of the printing line (59) to make the sheet (50) advance incrementally. A technical problem of the machine is that of printing adjacent to a trailing edge of the sheet, and that it should be of relatively low cost. An extraction mechanism (82) is provided, having driven rollers (80,85) which may be activated from a state of disengagement with a partially printed sheet to a state of engagement with the sheet. The sheet is drawn forward sufficiently to enable the head to print lines adjacent to the trailing edge of the sheet. The extraction mechanism is actuated when a given reference position of the sheet with respect to the head is detected. A single service motor (84) and suitable cam means (86) drive the special mechanisms of the machine.

Abstract: The present invention provides a production process to obtain a
hydrophilic polymer, having a low residual monomer content, with good
productivity while keeping the properties of a hydrogel polymer resultant
from polymerization. In a drying process for a hydrogel polymer, the
hydrogel polymer is dried under normal pressure at a material
temperature of not higher than 90 °C until the water content of the
hydrogel polymer reduces to 15∼40 weight %, and then the hydrogel
polymer is kept for not shorter than 10 minutes either in a state where
the change of the water content of the hydrogel polymer is within 5
weight % and where the material temperature is in the range of 70∼120 °C
or in a state where the water content of the hydrogel polymer is in the
range of 15∼40 weight % and where the material temperature is in the
range of 70∼120 °C, and then the hydrogel polymer is finish-dried.

Abstract: A radix 2 pipelined converter is constructed using a combination of standard 1-bit stages and
overflow reduction stages. The analog residue is passed from stage to stage as an amplifier
remainder as the digital codes are extracted in a pipelined analog to digital converter. The
overflow reduction stage reduces out-of-range residues back to in-range residues. Using three
digital output valves where the difference between any two is greater than one raw output
code prevents the possibility of multiple representations of the same code and thus allows for
the prevention of non-monotonic input-output transfer functions. The self-calibration and raw
output code correction schemes prevent non-monotonicities and missing codes in the input-output
transfer functions.
