Title: Hydrolyzed silane emulsions and their use as surface coatings
Inventor: HALLING ROBERT ALLEN
IPC: C07F7/18
Filed: 1995-03-03
Granted: 2005-11-22
Abstract: Novel and highly reactive hydrolyzed silane emulsions are achieved by emulsifying a hydrolyzable  alkoxysilane (e.g., perfluoroalkylethyltris(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)silane,      2-perfluoroalkylethyltris(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)silane, 2-perfluoroalkylethyltris(polyoxyethyleneglycolmonomethylether)silane or the like) in water in the presence of an effective amount of an emulsifier of sufficiently high HLB value (preferably 14 or greater) to simultaneously retain said hydrolyzable alkoxysilane compound in a substantially totally hydrolyzed state and inhibit said resulting hydrolyzed alkoxysilane compound from self-condensation. Such reactive emulsions containing fluorocarbon silanes are useful to produce durable coatings that impart oil and water repellency to substrates having siliceous, cellulosic or proteinaceous surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously winding web material into a succession of rolled packages includes spaced side frames which define a transfer path leading from a first winding station to a second winding station.  A plurality of rotatably driven winding drums extend between the side frames and support the cores and packages would thereon during a winding operation which begins at the first winding station and continues during transfer of the cores to the second winding station.  Tracks are fixed to the side frames which mount a transfer carriage movable on the tracks between the first and second winding stations.  A first hold down mechanism and a first rider roll are carried by the carriage and a second hold down mechanism and second rider roll are located at the second winding station.  The first hold down mechanism engages grooves in the ends of mandrels which are inserted into the cores to axially stabilize the mandrels.  Both the first and second hold down mechanisms are simultaneously engageable with the grooves in the mandrel ends during hand off from one to the other at the second winding station.  The first rider roll is applied continuously at the first winding station and as the packages are shifted along the transfer path to the second winding station.  Both the first and second rider rolls are simultaneously applied to packages at the second winding station.     During transfer the nipping force is maintained within acceptable limits by adjusting the forces being applied to the package by the first hold down mechanism and the first rider roll.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for predicting the presence of at least one congenital or acquired imbalance or therapeutic condition associated with thrombosis/hemostasis from at least one time-dependent measurement profile, (Figs. 3-6). At least one time-dependent measurement on an unknown sample is performed and a respective property of said sample is measured over time so as to derive a time-dependent measurement profile, (Figs. 3-6). A set of a plurality of predictor variables are defined which sufficiently define the data of the time-dependent measurement profile, (Fig. 13). A model is then derived that represents the relationship between the congenital or acquired imbalance or therapeutic condition and the set of predictor variables. Subsequently, the model is utilized to predict the existence of the congenital or acquired imbalance or therapeutic condition in the unknown sample.

Title: Inductive sensor for monitoring fluid level and displacememt
Inventor: CZARNEK ROBERT
IPC: G01F23/72
Filed: 1996-09-19
Granted: 2007-08-28
Abstract: A sensor system for measuring the level of a fluid (6) includes a tube (2) having a primary coil (10) and a pair of secondary coils (12, 14) wound thereabout. The secondary coils have a periodically varying winding density distribution. The winding density distribution of one secondary coil is shifted relative to the winding density distribution to the other secondary coil. A float (4') positioned adjacent the tube modifies an electromagnetic field produced by the primary coil. In response to the modified electromagnetic field, the first and secondary coils produce first and second signals having amplitudes that vary periodically in response to the movement of the float between the ends of the tube.

Title: Linearized digital automatic gain control
Inventor: WILSON NATHANIEL B
IPC: H03G3/20
Filed: 1996-09-16
Granted: 2007-07-24
Abstract: The present invention provides linear, digital automatic gain control (AGC) in a radio. A  received signal is demodulated to provide I and Q digital baseband signals. A received signal strength indication is determined from these signals and the resulting digital signal is adjusted to provide a logarithmic response (205). This signal is then integrated (210) to provide a digital receive AGC adjust signal. For the transmit AGC adjust, the digital receive AGC adjust signal is filtered (215) and then summed (270) with a scaled (260) closed loop power control command (265). The closed loop power control commands (265) are ignored (220) if they would result in increasing the transmit gain beyond the amplifier's designed maximum output.  The outputs of the transmit and receive AGC  amplifiers are linearized by transmit and receive linearizers, (225) and (240) respectively, which pre-distort the digital AGC adjust signals prior to digital to analog conversion (230) and (245).

Abstract: A sheet of material exhibiting a decorative floral pattern is used as a protective plant covering in conjunction with a plurality of removable fasteners. The sheet has a peripheral edge preferably defining an area sized to permit wrapping of the sheet in full, uncut form around a single, larger plant, or cutting of the sheet into multiple pieces to wrap a plurality of smaller plants on an individual basis. A non-woven material may be used so that it will not unravel if cut into sections. The material may also be at least semi-transparent to permit floral features of the plant to show through so that the material is less conspicuous when installed. Preferably a design element defining a cell is used having an area substantially less than that of the sheet, which is then replicated in a repeating manner to permit slitting, sectioning, and installation without regard for the orientation of the design. To assist the installed sheet in appearing more visually convincing, a process of producing the final product may include the steps of generating an image of a living plant, converting the image into a form suitable for printing, and printing the converted image onto the sheet.      To correct for compression of the image on either side when the sheet is wrapped around a plant, the aspect ratio of the image may be adjusted so that the printed image appears more life-like when the sheet is wrapped around the plant.
