Title: Containers
Inventor: MALLINDER PAUL
IPC: B65D25/24
Filed: 1998-04-27
Abstract: A container for use in the transportation and storage of a fluid for example beer, ale and the like comprises an inner vessel with means such as an aperture (7) whereby the vessel (1) can be charged with fluid and thereafter sealed. A segmented and rigid casing (2) encloses the inner vessel and a releasable securement means such as scissile bands (21) retains the casing (2) in position around the vessel (1). After release, for example by severence of the bands (21) with a knife or sharp implement, the casing (2) can be detached in at least two segments (4,5) from the vessel (1). The casing (2) therefore protects the vessel (1) during transit but can be removed from the vessel (1) on delivery and returned to the brewery for re-use on another vessel (1) whilst the original vessel (1) is on stillage.

Title: Gas ionizer using a pyro-electric member conected to a peltier member as the high voltage source
Inventor: SEBALD THOMAS
IPC: H01J27/08
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: An ion emitter with a high voltage generator, consisting of the combination of a Peltier heating and cooling member (1a, 1b, 1c) and a member with pyro-electric properties (2), as well as an electrode arrangement (ion emitter 3 and counter electrode 4). By varying the current intensity and/or current direction at the Peltier member, a temperature variation is produced which is transmitted to the pyro-electric member. Electric potential differences are thus produced on two opposite surfaces of the member. Suitable electrodes of non-insulating materials are connected to these surfaces. The ion emitter may further be embedded in a insulator. A possible use for this ion emitter is to ionize gases, in the production areas of micro-electronic components, so as to neutralize any build up of static charges on the surrounding surfaces.

Title: Mold opening and closing mechanism using electronic motors with position determination
Inventor: GRANT MARTY J
IPC: C03B9/36
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: Opposed mold support mechanisms of a mold opening and closing mechanism include carriers (30) and upper and lower inserts (24) which support mold halves. The mold support mechanisms are driven by electronic motors (66) between retracted and advanced positions. The motors are electronically interconnected and follow a feed program which initially advances the associated mold support mechanism a set distance which is half the separation distance. When the displacement of both support mechanisms stops, both motors are operated at a slow velocity. When it is determined against that both support mechanisms have stopped, the location of each is verified to be within an acceptable range and each motor is then operated to apply a desired clamping load.

Title: Generating an image of a three-dimensional object
Inventor: MORTLOCK ANDREW NICHOLAS
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A method of generating an image representing a three-dimensional object, the three-dimensional object being modelled as a stored set of parameters representing a model of a three-dimensional object and at least two two-dimensional images of the object, each image representing the object from a unique direction of view (x, y, z). The parameters comprise parameters defining the positions of a plurality of vertex points (101) in a virtual space and parameters defining relationships between vertex points and hence surface elements (102) of the object. For at least a subset of the surface elements (102) a measure relative to each direction of view is determined, each said measure being representative of the deviation of the surface of the element from the normal to the direction of view. The direction of view which exhibits the least said deviation is then identified and texture applied to the surface element from the two-dimensional image which corresponds to the identified direction of view.

Patent JP-H07221401-A (JP)
Title: Laser diode
Inventor: TANABE EIZO
IPC: H01S5/00
Filed: 1994-02-01
Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a laser diode including a first resin layer that has an area of a constant shape where it makes contact with a lead frame. CONSTITUTION:A boundary region 10 for defining the shape of a first resin layer 7 is formed from a fluororesin that is less wettable with the first resin than a lead frame 3; or the lead frame is etched to form a sharp-cut groove in the lead frame surface near a submount 2; or the lead frame is worked to form a U-shaped groove that surrounds the submount 2 and has sharp edges coincident with the emission edge of a laser. Any of the above means serves to keep the first resin 7 from running farther in order to give it an area of a constant shape where it makes contact with the lead frame. Therefore, the first resin layer 7 can have a constant thickness along the laser beam.
