Abstract: A pump unit comprises a pump piston (7;24) driven by a linear electric motor having induction and reaction members (11;31;131 & 12;32;132) with closely adjacent flat surfaces. A reaction member can be sandwiched between two induction members. Co-operating induction and reaction members extend radially from a rod connected to the piston, or to two axially spaced pistons, or are grouped tangentially around it. The piston or pistons are driven synchronously and so that constant force is applied by way of a control system which includes a trajectory generator and a controller responsive to selected inputs relating to pump performance characteristics and feedback signals derived from measured current flow and piston position.

Title: Expanding anchor
IPC: F16B13/06
Filed: 1989-10-10
Granted: 1992-08-05
Abstract: An expansion anchor assembly is made up of an expansion sleeve and an anchor rod. At one end, the expansion sleeve has a plurality of separate expansion parts radially deflectable about bending locations, by drawing an expansion cone on one end of the anchor rod into engagement with the expansion parts. Expansion parts can be displaced radially outwardly into a conically widened undercut in a borehole. To achieve surface area contact with the undercut, when the expansion parts are deflected outwardly, the radially inner and outer surfaces of the expansion parts are provided with a radius of curvature increasing from the bending locations to the free ends of the expansion parts.

Abstract: In a digital adaptive transform coding process for transmitting and/or storing acoustic signals, in particular musical signals, scanning values N of the acoustic signals are transformed into spectral coefficients M which are divided into frequency groups, and then quantified and coded. According to the invention, the quantified maximum value of each frequency group is used to characterize the general course of the spectrum. In addition, the same bit number is allocated to all values of a frequency group and the bits are allocated to the individual frequency groups on the basis of the quantified maximum value in the respective frequency group. Also described is a multi-signal processing system, in particular for implementing the process.

Title: Tanning process of hides
Inventor: SILVESTRE FRANCOISE
IPC: C14C3/06
Filed: 1990-06-22
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for tanning acidified wet raw hides. This process consists (a) in preparing a water-insoluble organic liquid bath, (b) in suspending in this bath an inorganic tanning agent based on a metal compound, especially a chromium salt or complex, (c) in adjusting the degree of hydration of the hides above a minimum threshold of 200% (weight of water added to the dry weight of hides) and below a maximum threshold corresponding to the limit of retention of water in the hide, (d) in bringing the hides thus hydrated into contact in the organic bath containing the tanning agent for a period of at least 4 hours and in slowly introducing a base into the bath so as gradually to raise the pH of the water retained in the hides to a final value of between a minimum threshold of 3.9 in the case of a chrome tanning agent, and a maximum threshold of 4.4 in the case of this chrome agent, and (e) in removing the hides from the bath and leaving them to rest for at least 24 hours. The process of the invention makes it possible to obtain at the same time a complete exhaustion of the tanning bath, an absence of release of tanning agent in the subsequent finishing operations and a leather of good quality.

Date Jun. 28, 1990.A diffraction grating of reflective or transmissive lines is formed by a regular matrix of pixels each containing a respective curvilinear portion of one or more of said lines. When the pixels are illuminated, each generates a two-dimensional optical catastrophe image diffraction pattern whereby the total image diffraction pattern of the grating is optically variable but structurally stable. The invention further provides a diffraction grating of reflective or transmissive lines, comprising a multiplicity of diffraction grating regions which are at least partly separated by multiplicity of grating free regions. Each grating free region has a dimension which is at least large enough to be resolved by the human eye, the total grating free areas not exceeding about 20 to 50% of the total area of the grating. The disclosed diffraction grating is useful as a security device for currency or credit cards.

Abstract: Lubricant oils of low pour point and improved oxidation stability are produced by catalytically dewaxing a lube feedstock over a zeolite dewaxing catalyst such as ZSM-5 in the hydrogen or decationized form and without a metal hydrogenation component. The use of these catalysts enables products of excellent oxidative stability to be obtained and reduces the catalyst aging rate in the first and subsequent dewaxing cycles to values below 5°F (2.8°C)/day. The duration of the dewaxing cycles may be extended, particularly in the second and subsequent cycles after hydrogen reactivation.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for facilitating the respiration of a patient (36) are disclosed which are particularly useful in treating mixed and obstructive sleep apnea and certain cardiovascular conditions, among others, by increasing nasal air pressure delivered to the patient's respiratory passages just prior to inhalation and by subsequently decreasing the pressure to ease exhalation effort. The preferred apparatus (10) includes a patient-coupled gas delivery device for pressurizing the patient's nasal passages at a controllable pressure, and a controller coupled with the delivery device having a pressure transducer for monitoring the nasal pressure and a microcontroller (20) for selectively controlling the nasal pressure. In operation, the controller (20) determines a point in the patient breathing cycle just prior to inhalation and initiates an increase in nasal pressure at that point in order to stimulate normal inhalation, and subsequently lowers the nasal pressure to ease exhalation efforts.
