Abstract: A polymeric, phosphorus-containing composition derived from aryl to aryl coupling of a substituted 2,2'-dihydroxyl-1,1'-binaphthalene or a substituted 2,2'-dihydroxyl-1,1'-biphenylene and phosphonylated at the dioxyl of said structure with at least one diaryloxyphosphite [-P(-O-Ar)2], diarylphosphine [-P(Ar)2] and/or aryl,aryloxyphosphinite [-P(Ar)(-O-Ar)], where each Ar is individually phenyl, substituted phenyl, naphthyl, and substituted naphthyl, provided that the two Ar groups that are directly or indirectly bonded to the same phosphorus atom may be linked to each other by a linking unit selected from direct bond, alkylidene, secondary or tertiary amine, oxygen, sulfide, sulfone, and sulfoxide. Polymerization by aryl to aryl coupling is achieved by direct oxidative coupling of the binaphthalene or biphenylene, copolymerization with an aromatic comonomer, or copolymerization with an aldehyde. The phosphonylation may be performed prior to or after polymerization. The polymeric, phosphorus-containing compositions in combination with a Group VIII metal and, optionally a Lewis acid, are particularly useful in the catalytic hydrocyanation of unsaturated organic compounds, isomerization of unsaturated, branched nitriles to unsaturated linear nitriles, and hydroformylation of unsaturated organic compounds.

Patent EP-1445905-A1 (EP)
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2003-02-05
Abstract: The method involves using a frequency band divided into sub-carriers. A code vector represents symbols to be transmitted on the sub-carriers at a time. Data are coded in the transmitter so a symbol known at the receiver adopts a position(s) known at the receiver in a code vector(s) depending on the data and based on a coding script. The receiver uses the known symbol in the position(s) for channel estimation for the associated sub-carrier(s). The method involves using a frequency band divided into sub-carriers (SUBTRAEGER1,..) , whereby a code vector represents the symbols (1,h 01-h 03) to be transmitted on the sub-carriers at a time point and the data are coded at the transmitter end so that a symbol known at the receiver end adopts at least one position known at the receiver end within at least one code vector depending on the data and based on a coding script. The receiver uses the known symbol in the at least one position for channel estimation for the associated sub-carrier(s).

Abstract: In this high-frequency filter circuit, a fourth
capacitance C4 capacitively couples a first resonator 3 to
an output port 2 bypassing a first capacitance C1, a second
resonator 4 and a third capacitance C3, while a fifth
capacitance C5 capacitively couples a second resonator 4 to
an input port 1 bypassing the first capacitance C1, the
first resonator 3 and a second capacitance C2. According
to this filter circuit, the first resonator 3 is directly
capacitively coupled to the output port 2 by the existence
of this fourth capacitance C4, while the second resonator 4
is directly capacitively coupled to the input port 1 by the
existence of the fifth capacitance C5. According to the
above-mentioned high-frequency filter circuit, there can
easily be manufactured a high-frequency filter circuit,
which is able to achieve downsizing and area saving and
suitable for producing an MMIC and in which the higher
region side of the passband is steeply sloped by a
transmission zero, generating no parasitic passband at a
frequency double that of the passband.

Inventor: OH MICHAEL HUNG-SUN
IPC: F16K31/05
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: A manual override mechanism is presented for a motor driven rotary
actuator that allows the output of the actuator to be manually positioned. Once
positioned, the output of the actuator may be locked by a locking mechanism to
prevent this output from rotating to its quiescent position. When incorporated in a
spring return rotary actuator, the manual override may be used to apply a preload on
the spring before the driven device is connected. When the actuator is used to drive
a valve or damper, the preload applies a positive closing force on the damper in its
zero position to ensure a tight closure of the valve or damper. The locking
mechanism engages the gear train and opposes the closing force applied by the
spring return of the actuator. To disengage the locking mechanism automatically,
the motor applies a forward kick to the gear train. Manual disengagement is also
provided.

Abstract: The blood collection set (10) includes an IV needle assembly (24), a
length of flexible plastic tubing (46) extending from the IV needle
assembly (24) and a non-patient needle assembly (54). The non-patient needle
assembly (54) is formed with a venting plug (80) that permits an outflow of

venting mechanism (80) enables air that had existed in interior portions
of the blood collection set (10) to be vented, and avoids the need to
employ a discard tube.

Abstract: A full-color electrophotographic apparatus of the
present invention is configured such that a toner image is
formed on an intermediate transfer member. The intermediate
transfer member is heated to a temperature equal to or higher
than the softening start temperature of resin contained in a
liquid toner and equal to or lower than the withstand
temperature of a photoconductor member. A carrier-removing
roller to which bias can be applied abuts the intermediate
transfer member so as to remove a carrier while packing
softened toner by the force of an electric field induced by
bias. In a transfer section for transfer to a printing
medium, a backup roller presses the printing medium against
the intermediate transfer member, and the toner image is
transferred from the intermediate transfer member to the
printing medium. Before being pressed against the toner
image on the intermediate transfer member, the printing
medium is heated. Bias is applied to the backup roller such
that the toner image on the intermediate transfer is
attracted toward the printing medium by the action of an
electric field, thereby assisting transfer. By so doing, the
intermediate transfer member does not need to undergo cooling
before coming into contact with the photoconductor member,
thereby avoiding occurrence of thermal damage to the
photoconductor member.
