Title: Screw member
Inventor: WATANABE TETSUYA
IPC: F16B33/02
Filed: 2001-05-08
Granted: 2006-04-25
Abstract: A screw member having a loosening prevention function is provided to improve a fastening power and a relative strength in thread connection. With an arrangement to provide a first crest portion and a second crest portion at the opposite ends of a thread point, a first screw member generates a loosening prevention effect due to elastic deformation of the first crest portion and the second crest portion, with the entire thread flank from the base portion to the point brought into contact with a second screw member on the both surfaces of the thread flanks. With this arrangement, a strong fastening power can be obtained, and a clamping force applied to the thread is distributed over the thread, thereby enabling improvement in the relative strength in thread connection.

Title: Biological indicator for sterilization processes with double buffer system
Inventor: HUI HENRY K
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 2001-10-23
Granted: 2011-04-26
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for preventing reversion of the color of an indicator dye in a biological indicator is disclosed. The indicator dye changes color if viable microorganisms are present after sterilization, because acidic byproducts are formed when the microorganisms metabolize the growth medium. It has been found that the dye can change color back to the original color after the completion of the sterilization due to leaching or diffusion of basic impurities into the growth medium. The method and the apparatus employ a dual buffer system with one buffer which operates at high pH to moderate pH fluctuations at the start of the sterilization and a second buffer which operates at low pH to minimize pH fluctuations after the sterilization is complete. Less high pH buffer than low pH buffer is used in order to maximize the speed and sensitivity of the biological indicator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to estimation of the distance between stations that communicate in a communication system over a radio interface. In the system at least one of the stations transmits signal bursts in time slots in accordance with a timing structure and at least one station receives the signal bursts. The method comprises determination of a first timing of a signal burst received at the receiving station, the first timing being associated with the first component of the received signal burst that meets a predefined condition. A second timing of the received signal burst is also determined for use in adjustment of internal timing of the receiving station for receiving and/or transmitting further signal bursts from and/or to the transmitting station. A timing offset is also determined between the stations. The distance between the stations is estimated based on the timing offset and the first timing of the received signal burst.
