Title: Small feedstuffs pellets embedded in larger pellets - separate prepn. f difficult substances in small pellets and combined with easy components to form large pellets
IPC: A23K40/30
Filed: 1971-10-04
Abstract: Feedstuff pellets are prepd by homogeneously embedding small pellets into large ones. The small pellets may contain all or most of the chemically instable, hygroscopic, aggressive, unpalatable or difficult to compress components of the mixt. They are pressed through a matrix with small openings and may contain smaller amts of compression aids, antioxidants, inhibitors etc. These particles are then mixed with the remaining components of the mixt and pressed through a matrix with larger openings. The pellets may be used as feedstuffs for ruminants. They may give slow release of urea and other non-protein N-cpds in the digestive system, are more stable, harder and much more palatable than known pellets contg. the same ingredients.

Title: A plastic duct assembly
Inventor: BARKER JOHN ARTHUR
IPC: H02G3/06
Filed: 2000-02-04
Abstract: A duct assembly has a plastic sleeve (1, fig 1, not shown) with external grooves (3) that passes through a wall (21) or partition (9). The sleeve (1) is set in position by two part annular collars (13A, B) which have an internal groove engaging portion (19, fig 2, not shown). The collars (13, A, B) are snapped onto the sleeve (1) such that a first collar abuts one side of the wall (21) and the second the other side. The internal surface of the collar (13A, B) may be grooved or ribbed to correspond with the external grooves (3) on the sleeve (1). The collars (13A,B) can be formed by moulding or machining resiliently flexible plastic. The outer diameter of the collar (13A, B) may be 10% or 20% greater than the inner diameter to provide a substantial contact area between the collar (13A, B) and the wall (21).

Title: Compensating for voice over IP network packet loss by insertion of interpolated sub packets
Inventor: BASTIN ROGER
IPC: H04H20/82
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: A receiving endpoint of a packet switched IP network receives audio packets containing a plurality of audio samples which are stored in a jitter buffer where they are treated as a series of sub packets each comprising a smaller number of samples (See Fig. 3). Upon detection of a packet loss the system inserts interpolated sub packets by means of weighted averaging of the samples between the preceding and succeeding sub packets (See Fig.4). The original and inserted sub packets are then played out of the buffer. The size of the sub packets and hence the portion of the buffer that is played out at each time is set to minimise the negative effects on voice quality. The rate of insertion can be controlled to limit frequency shift and stuttering distortions in the output audio signal. The method allows packets to be expanded to compensate for lost packets and results in a relatively low processing burden.
Patent GB-2348276-A (GB)
Title: Combustion chamber wall
Inventor: BEECK ALEXANDER
IPC: F23M5/08
Filed: 2000-03-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a combustion chamber wall (1) of a combustion chamber, for example a gas turbine. The combustion chamber wall (1), which comprises a supporting base structure (2) with cooling air holes (3), is additionally fitted with an intermetallic felt (5) which provides better distribution of the cooling air within the combustion chamber. By means of a variable permeability of the intermetallic felt (5), it is possible to achieve controlled cooling and a controlled supply of air to the combustion chamber. The use of intermetallic felts (5) reduces the quantity of cooling air while at the same time increasing the wall temperature.

Title: Method and apparatus for storing a semiconductor wafer after CMP
Inventor: AOKI HIDEMITSU
IPC: H01L21/321
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: After completion of CMP (ie chemical mechanical polishing), a semiconductor wafer 20 is temporarily exposed to water before a post-CMP cleaning operation, to prevent drying out of the wafer. The water is treated to prevent corrosion of the wafer, which may be caused by an oxidising agent contained in an abrasive used in the CMP process. In one embodiment, the water is treated with an anticorrosion agent, eg, benzotriazole. In a second embodiment, the water is reducing water formed by treatment with H<SB>2</SB>. Alternatively, the water may be pure water that has been reduced in temperature to below 25{C, so that the rate of corrosion is decreased. The wafer 20 may be immersed in a water tank 20, with recycling means 48, 49, 50, 52, or may be sprayed with the treated water (figure 6).

Patent GB-2359204-A (GB)
Title: Current limiting device
Inventor: SMITH NIGEL PAUL ANDREW
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 1999-11-26
Abstract: A current limiting device for connection in use between an AC mains power source and a load. The unit has a controllable semi-conductor device Q3 in the current carrying path between the source and the load. Also in the path is a sensing resistor R2. The unit also has circuit means responsive to the voltage developed across the sensing resistor R2. The circuit means acts to turn off the semi-conductor device in the event that the current flow in the load exceeds a predetermined level. The current flow is permitted to exceed the predetermined level for a period of time, the period being less for higher excess currents and turn off is virtually instantaneous in the event of a short circuit of the load or a sudden or very high current flow. The semi-conductor device may be turned back on after turn off, but only after a predetermined time has elapsed and not until the load is disconnected.

Title: Axially adjustable steering shaft assembly with ball spline
Inventor: BEITZEL DANIEL E
IPC: F16D3/06
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: A steering shaft assembly for a vehicle uses a ball spline (12) as a slip member. In general, the slip member (12) includes an outer race member (14), an inner race member (15), and a pair of end return members (18, 20). The outer race member (14) includes one or more grooves or recesses (26), each groove (26) forming an outer race. The inner race member (15) includes a corresponding number of grooves (32) and inner bores (34) to form an outer race track and inner race tracks, respectively. Each outer race and corresponding outer race track form an outer ball recirculating track for transmitting torque through the recirculating ball bearings. Each inner race track forms an inner ball recirculating tack for providing a closed loop path for the ball bearings. In one embodiment, the inner race member (15) and end return members (18, 20) are generally cylindrical in cross sectional shape that is disposed within the outer race member (14). The outer race member (14), inner race member (15) and end return member (18, 20) can be any desired cross sectional shape. For example, the inner race member (15) and return end members (18, 20) can include one or more projections (76) extending outwardly to the outer race member. The slip member can be used in a steering shaft assembly that is in production by forming grooves in the outer race member to form the outer races and inserting ball recirculating track members within a corresponding number of slots formed in an existing yoke tube.

Title: Locking arrangement between a vehicle shift lever and an ignition key cylinder
Inventor: SYAMOTO NORIYASU
IPC: B60K28/10
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: A ignition key cylinder 5, operated by a key, is located adjacent a manually actuated vehicle shift lever 19 having at least two operating directions X, Y. The key cylinder 51 comprises a rotary switch 53 which is rotated between a plurality of rotational positions wherein the switch 53 generates an engine driving signal to an engine ECU. Key cylinder 5, via the key, also rotates a bevel gear 54 which is engaged with a sector gear 58 that revolves shaft 57 thereby moving a stopping mechanism 61, 62, 63 to a number of positions depending upon the rotational position of the switch 53. Stopping mechanism 61, 62, 63 locks the shift lever 19 when the switch 53 is in an OFF position and releases the shift lever 19 when the switch 53 is in an ON position. A prohibiting device 70 formed on the shift lever 19 prevents the stopping mechanism 61, 62, 63 from being disengaged when the switch 53 is in the ON position.
