Title: Radiolucent patient treatment table with removable tip extension base and accessories
Inventor: COPPENS DANIEL D
IPC: A61B6/04
Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a radiolucent patient treatment table top with a removable tip extension base that can be accurately and repeatably mounted at the end of a table top that is completely metal free in the area of interest for imaging and treatment. The table top is composed primarily of polymer composites reinforced with carbon fibers or other non-metallic fibers such as Kevlar?. The table top allows for accurately and repeatably mounting removable tip extension members, radiographic phantoms, immobilization devices, brachytherapy steppers, and other devices to the end and sides of the patient table top. The present invention further provides a method of adding a variety of useful accessories without introducing any permanent metal components in the imaging/treatment area of the table top.

Title: High speed acknowledge protocol for OFDM UWB systems
Inventor: STOYE WILLIAM
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) system communicating via Ultra Wideband (UWB) packets in burst mode achieves a payload rate of 480 Mbps by employing a protocol whereby acknowledgement data 402 relating to a previous-but-one data packet replaces OFDM synchronization data in a Minimum Interframe Spacing Gap (MIFS) 36. There is then a final acknowledgement 404 of all packets in the burst. UWB receivers can retrieve acknowledgement data by detecting phase shifts directly, with no need to perform a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the synchronization data. False acknowledgements from third parties sending synchronization symbols is avoided by using only sequences which would be illegal or invalid if used in synchronization, eg. by omitting the short burst sequences entirely. The interval between the acknowledgement and the start of the data packet is less than one OFDM symbol in duration, which is possible in UWB networks within a range of around 100m.

Title: Improvements in or relating to unloading or discharging of coal or other minerals at mine shafts
IPC: B65G67/00
Filed: 1945-04-25
Abstract: 624,610. Handling and discharging mine cars. LODGE, W. B., and CORDEN, G. A. April 25, 1945, No. 10355. [Class 78 (iv)] Pit-head plant for discharging mine cars C received from a pair of cages A operating in a single shaft comprises a pair of rotary tipplers B traversible across the ends of the cages and rams D for pushing the cars into and out of the cages. The tipp'ers are shown mounted on wheeled carriages F running on rails E<SP>1</SP> set transversely to the rails E by which the cars enter and leave the cages ; they serve both cages in turn and can discharge a car at any point between the cages or beyond so that different minerals, or coal from different seams, can be kept separate. The two tipplers, one with an empty car in it, are brought opposite the ascending cage and, when the cage comes to rest, the appropriate ram D is operated to eject the empty car from the tippler into the cage at the same time pushing the full car out into the opposite tippler. The latter is then traversed on its wheeled carriage to the appropriate discharge point, the car discharged and both tipplers finally brought opposite the other cage ready to deal with the next full car. Four rams, one opposite each end of each cage, are employed when it is required to reverse the direction of circulation. Superposed pairs of rams and tipplers are used in dealing with double-decked cages. The transverse rails E<SP>1</SP> may be arranged to act as weigh-bridges, the tipplers being weighed before and after discharge thereon to obtain the weight of the mineral. To allow unrestricted access to the cages, e.g. when winding men, the tippler carriages F are moved clear, and extensions on them then maintain an unbroken floor up to the shaft.

Title: Improved manufacture of artificial silk
IPC: D01D5/247
Filed: 1925-04-22
Abstract: 255,527. Lanfry, M. P., and Brandenberger, J. E. April 22, 1925. Cellulose xanthates, processes for making filaments from.-For the manufacture of hollow glossy fibres of artificial silk from viscose to which alkali carbonate has been added, the proportion of caustic alkali to cellulose in the viscose is less than 1 : 1.2, and the proportion of sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate in the coagulating bath is as given by the diagram; it is convenient to use a viscose containing 7.3 per cent of cellulose, the practical working limits as regards the proportion of caustic alkali being 4-6 per cent. The curves shown on the diagram serve to correlate the ripeness of the viscose, the proportion of caustic soda in the viscose, the density of the coagulating bath, and the proportions of sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate in the bath. Thus, in the case of a viscose containing 4 per cent of caustic soda and 7.3 per cent of cellulose, while using a coagulating bath containing 145 gr. of sulphuric acid per litre. filaments showing the best gloss are obtained if the proportion of sodium sulphate in the bath lies between the limits indicated by the curves A-A; similarly, if the bath contains 125 gr. of sulphuric acid per litre, then the proportion of sodium sulphate is given by the curves B-B; the curves A<1>-A<1> and B<1>-B<1> apply when a viscose containing 6 per cent of caustic soda is employed; for other conditions, the necessary data are obtained by interpolation. The carbonate necessary for the production of hollow fibres may be introduced as such into the viscose solution; alternatively, it may be formed therein by the addition of carbonic acid or bicarbonate, in which case the quantity added must be sufficient to react with at least 0.5 per cent of the caustic soda; in an example, the carbonate is used in the proportion of 3 per cent with respect to the viscose solution. Specifications 143,253, 189,639, 189,973, and 214,197 are referred to.

Title: Focusing mechanism for photographic cameras
IPC: G03B13/20
Filed: 1951-05-04
Abstract: 711,222. Focusing-devices for photographic cameras. VOIGTLANDER & SOHN AKT.-GES. May 4, 1951 [May 4, 1950], No. 10520/51. Class 98(1) In focusing mechanism for the objective lens of a photographic camera in which a frame- or boxform carrier carries the lens support by means of extension struts or bars, the carrier is adjustable in the direction of the optical axis by adjusting mechanism built into the camera and is guided by pins fixed in the camera body, the pins at the same time serving for fulcrumming two double-armed levers which at one end engage one another by intermeshing teeth or the like and at the other end are linked to the carrier, the levers, their engagement with one another and their linking to the carrier being so arranged that during the focusing adjustment the carrier is constrained to move parallel with itself. Each lever may be of U form, the bow of the U being linked to the carrier in a laterally yielding manner. As shown, the lens 6 is supported by a carrier 15, by means of the extension mechanism described in Specification 711,221. Springs 18, 19 press against the four corners of carrier 15 to urge it away from the camera body 1, so that a roller 20 mounted on the carrier bears against a cam 21, mounted on a shaft 23 journaled in the camera body and forming part of the focusing adjustment. U-shaped levers 27, 28 are pivoted at 25, 26 to the camera body and have toothed arcuate intermeshing ends 29, 30. Leaf springs 33, 34 attach the levers to the carrier 15, so that both ends thereof move equally and oppositely. To prevent lateral movement, slots 35, 36 in the carrier engage pins in the camera body; preferably the pivot pins 25, 26 are prolonged for this purpose. Rotation of cam 21 causes carrier 15 to move parallel to itself, and thus moves lens 6 for focusing. A built-in range-finder may be adjusted at the same time. Preferably the range-finder is coupled to the lens movement, but it may alternatively be derived from the movement of a second cam on shaft 23.
