Title: Absorbent granular material and process and apparatus for making the absorbent granular material
Inventor: KNAPICK EDWARD G
IPC: C05G3/80
Filed: 1996-05-13
Granted: 2002-01-22
Abstract: A process  is disclosed which utilizes the  "non-papermaking" portion of waste paper to produce a highly absorbent,  essentially fiber-free granule which can be used, for example, as an agricultural chemical carrier. The process maximizes the amount of long (papermaking) fiber sent to the paper machine.     The waste paper is broken up in a hydropulper, and the pulp stock is screened so that papermaking fibers are retained and sent forward to the papermaking process, and the solid material in the reject stream, such as kaolin clay and inorganic materials pass through a flotation clarifier to separate the solids.   The slurry is then dewatered by means of a belt press to form a filter cake. The filter cake then enters a pin mixer where it is broken up into individual granules.  The granules are then dried to a solids content of greater than 95%.

Title: Method of generating modified patterns and method and apparatus for using the same in a currency identification system
Inventor: MAZUR RICHARD A
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 1995-03-08
Granted: 2000-02-15
Abstract: An improved method of generating modified scanned or master patterns for use in a discrimination system capable of identifying one or more currency bills. Each of the scanned and master patterns comprises a sequence of data values representing analog variations of characteristic information along a segment of a bill and each pattern has a leading end and a trailing end. Each of the data values has an associated sequence position. The modified scanned or master patterns are generated by designating either the scanned pattern or the master pattern for modification and inserting a predetermined number, R, of data values at either the trailing end of the sequence of data values of the designated pattern when the modification is performed in the forward direction or the leading end of the sequence of data values of the designated pattern when the modification is performed in the backward direction. This modification effectively removes R data values from the leading or trailing end of the designated pattern. Either the last R data values of the designated pattern are set equal to the last R data values of the non-designated pattern when the modification is performed in the forward direction or the first R data values of the designated pattern are set equal to the first R data values of the non-designated pattern when the modification is performed in the backward direction. Alternatively, the modified master patterns are generated by inserting R data samples at the leading or trailing ends of the master patterns and by setting the first R or last R data samples of the modified master pattern equal to zero.

Abstract: A  system and method  is  provided  for  playing  back  a recorded  voice  message,   and,   in  particular,   for automatically playing back a spoken numeric portion of the message at a rate that is slower than the rate for playing back the remaining portion of the recorded voice message.  A voice messaging system receives and analyzes the voice message.   Specifically,  the messaging system determines  whether  the  voice  message  includes  spoken numeric information and,  if so, determines the relative position of the spoken numeric information within the message.   The  computer  system stores  both  the  voice message  and  the  positional  information  in  a  storage device.   Upon playback of the message,  the messaging system retrieves the stored voice message and positional information  from  the  storage  device.    As  the  voice message is played back,  the messaging system processes the  positional  information.   When  the  positional information  indicates  that  a particular portion  of a voice message includes spoken numeric information, that particular portion is played back at a decreased speed.

Abstract: A process for producing multilayered microparticles for marking and later identifying substances or objects of any desired type, even animals and plants, has the following steps: several marking layers are successively applied in the liquid state onto a web-shaped or sheet-shaped substrate, each layer being dried and/or hardened before the next marking layer is applied, until a stack of layers of the desired type and in the desired order is obtained; the substrate is separate d from the stack of layers; and the stack of layers is crushed into multilayered microparticles without affecting the integrity of the series of marking layers. A first disclosed process is characterised in that the individual marking layers are applied by a printing process. Alternative processes are characterised in that the individual marking layers are applied by bronzing, by spray painting or by roll coating.

Abstract: A thermal sensing system (10) including an array of photon detectors (14) produces a detector-dependent response to irradiation. Variations in individual detector characteristics produce a fixed pattern noise which degrades an image or other response. A switchable minor (M1) may at one position (P cal) direct infrared radiation from a light emitting diode (20) onto the detector array (14). The diode (20) is both a negative and positive luminescent emitter, the flux emitted is current controlled to be equivalent to black body radiation at a range of temperatures both colder and hotter than ambient. Calibration relationships comprising transfer functions relating incident intensity to signal response are derived for each detector. Alternatively the mirror (M1) may be at an observation position (P obs) and infrared radiation from a remote cene reaches the detector array 14). Resulting detector signals are converted into corrected fluxes using individual calibration relationships previously derived and an mage or response with reduced fixed pattern noise is obtained.

Title: Vehicle arresting units and fabrication methods
Inventor: ANGLEY RICHARD D
IPC: E01C9/00
Filed: 1998-02-06
Granted: 2006-08-22
Abstract: Vehicle arresting blocks of cellular concrete (70) are usable to safely slow travel of an object and may be used to construct an aircraft arresting bed at the end of an airport runway. For such purposes, cellular concrete blocks (70) must be fabricated to exhibit compressive gradient strengths of predetermined values to provide sufficient , but not excessive, deceleration forces on an object. Material uniformity characteristics must be met to avoid unacceptable drag force variations, so that arresting blocks desirably exhibit a predetermined compressive gradient strength (e.g., a 60/80 CGS) over a depth of penetratio n of 10 to 66 percent of block thickness (Fig. 7). A 60/80 CGS will typically represent an average compressive strength of 70 pounds per square inch over such depth of penetration. Prior applications of cellular concrete typically involved meeting minimum strength values and the production methods did not meet uniformity or compressive gradient strength predictability as required for arresting blocks. Described methods include parameter, ingredient and process controls and ranges effective to enable fabrication of arresting blocks having dry densities and compressive gradient strengths which can be specified in order to provide limited deceleration of aircraft and other objects. Limited deceleration can avoid destructive effects inherent in excess rates of deceleration.

Abstract: This invention related to a tip shroud for a moving blade to be used at a downstream stage of a gas turbine.    The tip shroud is elongated in its creep lifetime by feeding it effectively with cooling air. In the tip shroud 11, there are cut-off portions 12 and 13 which are passed by a hot combustion gas so that they are influenced by a thermal stress and liable to have a creep. On the shroud faces, there are formed grooves 31 and 32, and 33 and 34, and cooling guide covers 21 and 22. Cooling guide covers 21 and 22 are closed at their one side with members 21a and 22a are opened at their other end to cover the air holes 17 so that the cooling air is fed to cool the cut-off portions 12 and 13 individually. The metal temperature rise in the cut-off portions 12 and 13, as will be influenced by the hot combustion gas, can be suppressed to elongate the creep lifetime of the tip shroud.
