Title: Hydraulic generator (liquid flow generator)
Inventor: HOFMAN JEAN PIERRE
IPC: F01C1/44
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: It is an objective of the invention to provide a hydraulic generator which mitigates the problems with existing hydraulic rotating pumps and motors. The invention of the Liquid Flow Generator (hereinafter referred to as "Hydraulic Generator") is specially designed to combine both of the functions of a "hydraulic pump/motor" and a "hydraulic converter" to produce, from a rotating energy source collected as torque, a high volume, rotary liquid load and to transform it into kinetic energy as a liquid flow expelled into a pipe line. Such energy conversion is not necessarily related to electricity production or compression/pressure generation. For simplification, comparisons and references are based therefore throughout this document by considering the functions of the Hydraulic Generator to work like a volumetric transfer Pump. By reversing the functions and injecting a liquid flow into the device, this will work like a Motor/Turbine and produce, from the kinetic energy of a liquid flow, a rotating energy which renders a torque. The following descriptions and references are not detailing this function, but are apparent to anyone with skill in the art. Basically, the invention functions as a variable displacement device because: .cndot. by combining several Hydraulic Generators on a common shaft, it may work as a variable displacement device. .cndot. Also, the design enables shifting the axis of the rotor versus the axis of the stator, like in a conventional rotary sliding vane pump, varying the capacity displaced by the device.

Abstract: A base station device notifies a mobile station of notification information as information relating to the maximum transmission power of the mobile station, and the mobile station performs up-link transmission based on the information relating to the maximum transmission power of the mobile station in the notification information. In the case where a request to leak power to the adjacent systems is severe, the maximum transmission power of the mobile station can be controlled to be reduced, and in the case where a request to the leak power to the adjacent systems is not severe, the maximum transmission power of the mobile station can be controlled not to be reduced. Thus, based on an area where the mobile communication system is applied and various circumstances, an interference quantity to the adjacent systems can be flexibly reduced.

Title: Hydrogel arthroplasty device
Inventor: CARTER DENNIS R
IPC: A61L27/52
Filed: 2008-04-17
Abstract: An arthroplasty device is provided having an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel that is strain-hardened by swelling and adapted to be held in place in a joint by conforming to a bone geometry. The strain-hardened IPN hydrogel is based on two different networks: (1) a non-silicone network of preformed hydrophilic non-ionic telechelic macromonomers chemically cross-linked by polymerization of its end-groups, and (2) a non-silicone network of ionizable monomers. The second network was polymerized and chemically cross-linked in the presence of the first network and has formed physical cross-links with the first network. Within the IPN, the degree of chemical cross-linking in the second network is less than in the first network. An aqueous salt solution (neutral pH) is used to ionize and swell the second network. The swelling of the second network is constrained by the first network resulting in an increase in effective physical cross-links within the IPN.
