Abstract: The material strength of extensive objects can be determined efficiently by using two distance measuring means, wherein a first distance measuring means determines the distance to a first main surface of the object and a second distance measuring means determines the distance to a second main surface object opposing the first main surface. If potential measurement errors due to the extensive geometry are avoided by determining a reference distance between the first distance measuring means and the second distance measuring means by a reference means via X- radiation, the thickness of the object between the first main surface and the second main surface can be determined with high accuracy and velocity.

Filed: 2010-07-12
Granted: 2014-10-21
Abstract: A submersible electric pump motor comprises an unvarnished stator structure having stator windings formed of conductors. The stator windings form end coils at each end of the stator for each phase. The end coils are tied to three arc-shaped, metal segments, each having an opening and positioned circumferentially within a circumferential groove. The metal segments are welded to the interior of the housing to provide a rigid surface. High temperature strings are wound through the openings in each metal segment and around the end coils for each phase to tie each end coil of that phase to that metal segment. This prevents the end coils of each phase from twisting during startup, sliding into the slots, and moving inwards towards a rotating rotor.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un procédé permettant de former des microparticules contenant un médicament à libération prolongée avec un polymère biodégradable. Le procédé comprend la formation dune phase de solvant organique-médicament-polymère, et la dispersion de la phase de solvant organique-médicament-polymère dans une suspension dun gel inorganique pouvant être de lhydroxyapatite. Il apparaît que lhydroxyapatite enrobe les gouttelettes de solvant-médicament-polymère pour empêcher leur coalescence. Le solvant sévapore ensuite lorsque lon brasse la dispersion, et les gouttelettes se solidifient alors pour former des microparticules. Le gel inorganique permet de former de façon appropriée des microparticules, sans avoir à utiliser démulsifiant organique.
