Abstract: A variable pressure spray type vehicle laundry apparatus in which a carriage is mounted for longitudinal displacement along overhead parallel beams and an inverted L shaped spray arm carrying both horizontally and vertically directed nozzles circumscribes the vehicle to be laundered. In the preferred embodiment two reversely similar L shaped spray arms are used and caused to operate through a butterfly type cycle to spray various fluids at different pressures on the vehicle. For low pressure operations, the twin arm system is centered over the vehicle and both spray arms.are supplied with low pressure fluid at the same time. For high pressure operations, the left and right spray arms are operated in sequence and each is maintained at an optimal spray arm to vehicle spacing during its operating cycle.

Abstract: Jackbolt (20) for a multi jackbolt tensioner embodies a thread construction which tapers from a maximum diameter adjacent to the torque receiving end (2 2) of the jackbolt (20) when threadedly engaged with a threaded opening in the outer peripheral part of a jackbolt body (38). The threads (26) of the jackbolt have a different thread pitch than the threads (36) in the jackbolt body (38) and the tooth flank of the jackbolt threads (26) form an angle wit h the tooth flanks of the threads (36) in the jackbolt body (38). By this thre ad construction, there is formed a helical volume of ever increasing size along the jackbolt commencing at a metal to metal relation at the torque receiving end (22). Stressing of the jackbolt (20) closes the helical volume bringing the threads (26) to a metal to metal load transfer relation. The end (28) of the jackbolt (20) has a protruding central end portion that elastically flattens under stress to reduce torque requirements.

Abstract: It has a structure in which an active layer (5) that emits light by electric current injection is sandwiched between an n-type cladding layer (4) and a p-type cladding layer (6) made of materials having a larger band gap than the active layer (5), wherein the active layer (5) is made, for example, of Cd x Zn 1-x O (O.ltoreq.x<1). It is further more preferable if the cladding layers (4), (6) are made, for example, of Mg y Zn 1-x O (O.ltoreq.y<1) . This narrows the band gap of the ZnO materials, and an oxide semiconductor capable of being wet-etched, easy to handle with, and excellent in crystallinity can be used as a material for an active layer or a cladding layer of a semiconductor light emitting device such as a blue light emitting diode or a blue laser diode in which an active layer is sandwiched between cladding layers, so that a blue semiconductor light emitting device being excellent in light emission characteristics can be obtained.

Title: Method and device for measuring access flow
Inventor: STERNBY JAN
IPC: A61B5/026
Filed: 1999-10-22
Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: An arterial needle removes blood from the access to an extracorporeal circuit comprising a dialyzer and a venous needle returns the blood to the access site. Blood passes along one side of the membrane of the dialyzer and dialysis fluid along the other side. The concentration (Cd norm and Cd rev) of urea in the dialysate emitted from the dialyzer is measured with the needles in the normal position and in a reversed position.  The access flow rate before the arterial needle is calculated according to the formula: Cd norm / Cd rev = 1 + Keff/Qa in which Keff is the effective clearance of the dialyzer and Qa is the access flow rate.

Title: Continuous process and apparatus for making thermoformed articles
Inventor: DALGEWICZ EDWARD J III
IPC: B29C51/42
Filed: 2001-11-27
Granted: 2005-02-15
Abstract: A continuous process for making a thermoplastic article comprises extruding a sheet of thermoplastic and contacting the sheet with a mold surface while the sheet is in a substantially non-oriented state. The mold surface is selectively heated and/or cooled during thermoforming to maintain the sheet in a molten or thermoformable state. A stripper plate adjacent to the mold surface is maintained at different temperature for inducing a predetermined degree of crystallinity to the sheet, for increasing web stiffness and improving web alignment, and optionally for assisting in the separation of the articles from the mold. A continuous apparatus for making thermoformed articles has co-extruders for extruding at least two distinct layers, which can have dissimilar properties (e.g., polar and non-polar), and a temperature controlled molding surface. Preferred thermoplastic compositions of the present invention have improved toughness and retained intrinsic viscosity.
