Abstract: A compact, high-visibility display rack and assembly system is disclosed. The innovative display rack includes a base, a pair of sides, and a mounting bracket which is connected to the base and the sides at an angle relative to the horizontal elongated plane of the base. Because the mounting bracket is at an angle relative to the base and the rest of the display rack, when the rack is mounted on a supporting surface, the display rack extends outward from the supporting surface at an acute angle, providing an angular view of the front of product packages contained therein. In addition, the top, most of the front, and a portion of a side of the display rack is open, allowing for easy access of the product packages contained therein. Furthermore, the sides of the display rack are built using wire-frame construction or transparent plastic to further enhance the visibility and the ease of access of the contents therein. All these factors -- angled mounting, open design, and high visibility design -- combine to create an innovative display rack and assembly system which provide easy consumer viewing and accessibility for the contents therein while providing compact mounting to maximize the use of the supporting surface area.

Title: Insulating rigid polyurethane foams
Inventor: WHITE WALTER R III
IPC: C08G18/50
Filed: 1996-08-05
Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: There is now provided a polyisocyanate based rigid closed cell foam made by reacting an organic isocyanate with a polyol composition in the presence of a blowing agent, where the polyol composition contains at least: a) an aromatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq polyol/g KOH or more; b) an aliphatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol having an hydroxyl number of 200 meq polyol/g KOH or more; and the blowing agent is at least cyclopentane in an amount of 7 weight percent or more based on the weight of the polyol composition; and further, the cyclopentane blowing agent is soluble in the polyol composition, and the amount of the aliphatic amine initiated polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol is 10 weight percent or less based on the weight of the polyol composition. The polyol composition is adapted to solubilize cyclopentane in the polyol composition without sacrificing, and advantageously improving, the thermal insulation and dimensional stability of the resulting polyurethane foam. It was surprising to discover that less than 10 weight percent of the aliphatic amine initiated polyol was need to accomplish these objectives, and it was further surprising to discover that the aromatic amine initiated polyether polyol improved the thermal insulation of the foam.

Abstract: Optical network for signal transfer from a central station to subscriber stations. The signal to be distributed is split in at least two stages, with thesignal being amplified by optical amplifiers. The Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) to be used for this purpose are fed by an optical supply signal. By building up the supply signal from various signals with wavelengths lying closely together, Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is avoided. As a result, by utilising centrally supplied EDPAs more splitting stages may be applied, as a result of which many more subscribers may be reached from one signal source than before. The subscribers may utilise inexpensive, low-sensitivity receivers. The optical network is particularly suited to form, in conjunction with a conventional non-optical (twisted-pair) network, a hybrid bi-directional transmission system. In this connection, the optical network is intended for the distribution of wide-band signals (CATV) and the non-optical network for bi-directional transfer of narrow-band signals.

Abstract: A speech synthesizing system using a redundancy-reduced waveform database is disclosed. Each waveform of a sample set of voice segments necessary and sufficient for speech synthesis is divided into pitch waveforms, which are classified into groups of pitch waveforms closely similar to one another. One of the pitch waveforms of each group is selected as a representative of the group and is given a pitch waveform ID. The waveform database at least comprises a pitch waveform pointer table each record of which comprises a voice segment ID of each of the voice segments and pitch waveform IDs the pitch waveforms of which, when combined in the listed order, constitute a waveform identified by the voice segment ID and a pitch waveform table of pitch waveform IDs and corresponding pitch waveforms. This enables the waveform database size to be reduced. For each of pitch waveforms the database lacks, one of the pitch waveform IDs adjacent to the lacking pitch waveform ID in the pitch waveform pointer table is used without deforming the pitch waveform.
