Abstract: The invention concerns the construction of tanks with inner lining from appropriate polymer material, which (i.e the lining) has the form of a jacket and a shape similar to the corresponding tank, for the purpose of corrosion or other kind of protection of the inner side of the tanks from liquids which are stored or circulated through the tanks. The use of internal jacket from polymer material (12), in direct contact with the walls of the tanks, creates a new product which can have many applications and as an example only reference is made to the storage water heaters (solar, electric, etc.) where the need of the corrosion protection of the tanks is satisfied by the use of the internal jacket from polymer material which is resistant to corrosion, while the need for strength to hydraulic pressure is satisfied by the tank itself (usually made out of steel) and this combination has important economical and technical advantages. The basic method for the production of the new product, in accordance with the invention, includes either the production of a tank from a pre-constructed jacket from polymer material (12)(i.e. polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), which (jacket) is enclosed by the various parts of the tank (13,14,15), whose parts are assembled by welding, screws, etc., or the production of the tank by forming the jacket from polymer material directly inside the tank.

Abstract: For making pipes or tubular moulded products from polymer concrete, mineral moulding material is introduced into a mould device which has its principal axis (7) positioned vertically and comprises a mould core (2) and a mould case (3), and is shaken and subsequently subjected to a curing operation. The moulded product is thereby built up along its centre axis section by section by filling successive longitudinal sections of the mould cavity of the mould device with mineral moulding material and shaking the mineral moulding material in the filling region and is progressively cured in the same direction with phase displacement. The mould case (3) has for this purpose multipart case segments, which are arranged one above the other and the segment parts (7, 8) of which can respectively be moved apart out of an annularly closed operating position into an out-of-operation position, whereas the mould core (2) is subdivided into axially bound sections (9, 10, 11, 12, 13), which form different treatment zones. Mould case (3) and mould core (2) are axially movable in relation to each other, and the filling device (4) can be moved vertically up and down to a limited extent in a region above the upper end position for the case segments (6). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a cover (10) for heating or cooling patients, in particular for protecting patients from becoming cold or for once again heating patients who have already become cold during or after surgical interventions, an inner cavity is delimited by an air-tight upper side and by an air-permeable lower side. An air hose can be arranged on a hose connection piece (14). In order to allow the cover (10) to be used repeatedly, and thereby reduce the disposal costs, it is intended that the upper side and the lower side of the heating cover be made of a fabric which can be washed and disinfected and therefore re-used. The upper side is provided with an air-tight coating. A good distribution of the heated air supplied is achieved by means of the fact that the lower side is produced using a fabric which permits diffuse air permeability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an innovation, important for engine research, for compensating the thermal shocks superimposed on the pressure cycles. For this purpose, a diaphragm construction is proposed which consists of an annular plate (14) and a central plate (35), which are connected to an annular carrier (9) in such a way that a bridge bearing structure is produced which has a double-parallelogram support. The central plate, which can be optimised in terms of position and thickness, is used as actuator element for controlling the compensation process via the double-parallelogram structure. At the same time, the central plate is raised to a significantly higher temperature level by means of the controlled thermal conduction paths. As a result of these two measures, an innovative thermal shock compensation is achieved. Additional improvement is possible by means of the stepwise optimisation of the central plate, for example by machine-turning the same and comparing it in the test engine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A floating mass transducer for improving hearing in a hearing impaired person is provided. The floating mass transducer (100) may be implanted or mounted externally for producing vibrations in a vibratory structure of an ear. In an exemplary embodiment, the floating mass transducer comprises a magnet assembly (12) and a coil (14) secured inside a housing (10) which is fixed to an ossicle of a middle ear. The coil is more rigidly secured to the housing than the magnet. The magnet assembly and coil are configured such that conducting alternating electrical current through the coil results in vibration of the magnet assembly and coil relative to one another. The vibration is caused by the interaction of the magnetic fields of the magnet assembly and coil. Because the coil is more rigidly secured to the housing than the magnet assembly, the vibrations of the coil cause the housing to vibrate. The vibrations of the housing are conducted to the oval window of the ear via the ossicles. In alternate embodiments, the floating mass transducer produces vibrations using piezoelectric materials.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making an ophthalmic lens pumps monomer into one end of a gas permeable tube along its interior length while a chamber surrounding the gas permeable tube is maintained at a subatmospheric pressure by means of a vacuum pump. Preferably, the gas permeable tube is made of silicon rubber. Static mixers introduce mixing into the flow of the monomer within the tube in order to expose the bulk of the monomer to the gas permeable walls of the tube. Under such conditions in the gas permeable tube, the majority of the dissolved gasses are removed from the monomer and continue to be drawn out of the chamber by the pump connected to the chamber. The degassed monomer is then transferred into a mold where it is polymerized into an ophthalmic lens.
