Title: Video Time Code Synchronized Robot Control Apparatus
Inventor: BOYLE WILLIAM M
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 1993-04-08
Abstract: The stored robot control program defining the path of movement of a robot arm (64) carrying a video camera (52) is synchronized to time code information recorded on a video tape.      Video signals from the video camera are recorded on the video tape by a video tape recorder (74) along with time code information from a time code generator (70). A time code reader (76) decodes the time code information from the video tape or from the video tape recorder and supplies the decoded time code information to a robot controller (56). The time code information specifying the address of each frame of video signal is synchronized with the robot control program to unable the robot arm to be positioned in the same identical positional coordinates corresponding to the position of the robot arm when a particular frame of video signal was originally generated.

Title: Dilution flow sleeve for reducing emissions in a gas turbine combustor
Inventor: LOPRINZO ANTHONY J
IPC: F23R3/04
Filed: 1995-02-23
Abstract: Sleeves (28) are circumferentially spaced from one another about the liner of a combustor body (12) of a dry low NO x combustor. The sleeves carry dilution air into the dilution zone. Cooling air is supplied a venturi (20) to cool the venturi and the cooling air flows into the reaction volume. The dilution air sleeves penetrate sufficiently to thoroughly mix the dilution air with the core of hot gases of combustion and, by vorticity effects caused by the flow past the sleeves, thoroughly mix the generally annular flow of cooling air from the venturi with the hot gases of combustion. The thorough mixing of both the cooling air and dilution air inhibits or minimizes the formation of cold areas or streaks within the reaction volume such that CO to CO2 reactions are not quenched, affording reduced CO emissions.

Patent CA-2150496-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAISS JOHN L
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1995-05-30
Abstract: Specific binding ligands can be detected with an assay which utilizes an immobilized receptor for the ligand, a reporter enzyme, an inhibitor antibody and an anti-inhibitor antibody.  Both antibodies are specific for the reporter enzyme.  The inhibitor antibody effectively shuts down the activity of the reporter enzyme when it is complexed thereto.  The anti-inhibitor antibody binds to the reporter enzyme, does not affect the enzymatic activity, but prevents the binding of the inhibitor enzyme.  This  assay provides a direct correlation of the target specific binding ligand to the signal generated without the use of separation or wash steps.

Accordingly, even if the pressure applied to the plastic sheet is increased, the plastic sheet S is not broken and the plastic sheet S can be efficiently cooled owing to the wide cooling area.  Moreover, an extremely thin extruded sheet having prominently excellent surface condition can be prepared.
