Title: Urine funnelling trumpet
Inventor: LEVINSON ORDE
IPC: A61F5/455
Filed: 2001-03-29
Granted: 2004-08-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to urination apparatus for urine sample collection for testing of urine, waste urine collection for disposal of urine resulting from urination away from toilets, and simplification of urination by women without sitting on a toilet.  A urine funnelling trumpet comprises a relatively narrow outlet aperture (2C) flaring out to a bell with a rim (5C) defining a perimeter of a urine inlet area. The inlet area has a long axis with a pubic locating portion (6) extending from one end of the axis to meet a vaginal locating portion (7) extending from the other end of the axis, the inlet area has a substantially symmetrical curvature about said axis. The inlet area of the vaginal locating portion has a vaginal locating curvature along said axis and the inlet area of the pubic locating portion has a pubic locating curvature along said axis which is tilted to be inclined relatively towards the vaginal locating curvature. The side of the bell flares out from the outlet aperture and meets the pubic locating portion at the rim substantially as a tangent to the pubic locating curvature to provide a generally flat surface in that region.

Title: Procedure for making plastic container and for temperature annealing thereof
Inventor: CAHILL JOHN
IPC: B29C49/48
Filed: 1993-09-21
Abstract: An apparatus for annealing and heat treating biaxially oriented articles is disclosed, particularly blow molded articles prepared from preforms which are simultaneously annealed using warm fluid in a first segmented mold. The blown article is transferred to a second, larger mold where the article is pressurized against the mold to form the final container design and to heat treat at least a portion of the bottle wall to improve crystallinity and strength. Portions of the mold, used to form and anneal the articles, are temperature controlled at various temperatures by passing warm water through conduits in the neck-shoulder portion and body portion of the mold and cold water through the bottom and shoulder portion of the mold to bring the temperature of the article wall to about 65 DEG  C. to 95 DEG  C. for PET bottles. The second mold is up to 10% larger in volume and preferably employs resistance heating to heat treat the side wall to 110 DEG  C. to 220 DEG  C. and the neck-shoulder wall to less than the side wall but within the 110 DEG  C. to 220 DEG  C. temperature range for up to 30 seconds. The article is next cooled by injecting an evaporatable fluid like water which evaporates and immediately cools the article which is then removed from the mold. The heat treatment increases the article's structural strength, does not affect biaxial crystallinity reduces gas permeability, retains transparency and allows for multiple reuse of the article including hot washing thereof.

Title: System and circuits for estimating the operating conditions of digital connections using coded modulation
Inventor: MENGALI UMBERTO
IPC: H04L/
Filed: 1990-04-12
Granted: 1993-12-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for estimating the operating conditions of a demodulator for encoded digital signals and for eliminating any phase ambiguities from the signal received in the case of transmissions using coding of the TCM (Trellis coded modulation) type. The invention is characterized by the use of the metric calculated by the Viterbi decoder to obtain an estimate of the actual operating conditions of the demodulator. This estimate can then be used profitably to eliminate any phase ambiguities or false alignments of the received signal. In one embodiment - although this is not limiting - the "estimator" can be implemented by means of a simple table, an accumulator and a threshold comparator.

Title: Thermally responsive switch for enclosed motor-compressor
Inventor: UBUKATA SUSUMU
IPC: H01H/

Granted: 1992-01-14
Abstract: The thermally responsive switch includes a supporter formed of a single metallic plate and including a support arm cantilever mounting a thermally responsive bimetallic or trimetallic element carrying a movable contact at one end. Two beams are disposed in a relation that the support arm is interposed between these beams, and an operative temperature calibration strip is integrally extended from the first beam. The calibration strip is slidably inserted between the support arm and the second beam into a wedge structure in the state that the calibration strip is bent at the root portion. Consequentially, when the calibration strip is bent with the slidable movement, the support arm is bent so that the contact pressure between the contact is set, an amount of bending deformation of the support arm corresponding to an amount of bending deformation of the calibration strip.

Title: Ubiquinone derivs. prepn.
Inventor: PURICELLI LAURA
IPC: A61K/
Filed: 1983-10-25
Granted: 1989-11-30
Abstract: The apparatus has an X-ray source (3) having an electron source (31) and a stationary anode (4) which describes a full or partial anode ring with a circuit for accelerating electrons emitted from the electron source, using a high positive constant voltage, towards the anode ring. The electrons form an electron beam (32) which collides with the anode ring at a focal spot (41) which, in turn, emits X-ray radiation in the form of a fan beam (42). With a full or partial X-ray detector ring (5) the detector ring and the anode ring are coaxially arranged and define a scan slice. The detector ring is such as to permit the spatial resolution around the ring of the X-rays detected. A number of electron sources are arranged on an electron source ring (33) in proximity to the anode ring. A circuit is provided to control the sources individually in order to emit electron beams in set time sequence. The focal spots produced by the electron beams on the anode ring are each electromagnetically swept over a portion of the anode ring.

Abstract: An electronic patterning device for a loom, using counters which control the weaving sequence by counting the number of picks of each type of weft during insertion, and are reset when the weft is changed, has a reversing circuit which operates during unweaving operations to control the unweaving of complex patterns. The reversing circuit is connected through a feed-back loop to the pattern-control circuit, and to a transducer on the loom crankshaft. It comprises an inverting switch, logic circuits, a flip-flop and a rectangular-wave generator which controls the count-down of the counters during unweaving. This arrangement eliminates complications arising from weft-changes during reverse-counting, and provides problem-free unweaving of complex designs. /2
