Abstract: A piezoelectric moving linear motor consists of three piezoelectric actuators which are controlled relative to each other. One piezoelectric actuator causes two blocks to move away from each other in opposition to a spring force. The other two piezoelectric actuators selectively clamp a block to a guide shaft. By cyclically controlling the actuation of the three piezoelectric actuators, the motor is able to move the blocks axially along the guide shaft. Preferably, a vehicle component such as a window is fixed to one block and is caused to move along the guide shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus for passive hypoxic training or therapy provides to a user hypoxic (low-oxygen) gas mixture having carbon dioxide content optimal for breathing stimulation and a comfortable humidity level. The apparatus reduces the oxygen content of the air by passing the ambient air through a pressure-swing adsorption separator which extracts the oxygen therefrom. The air pressurized by compressor is delivered in alternating sequence into cartridges having a molecular-sieve material which adsorbs nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor and allows a dry oxygen-enriched fraction to pass through an to be discharged. Remaining hypoxic (low-oxygen) gas mixture is recovered by depressurization of cartridges and is delivered to a user through a surge tank, filter, breathing bag, and respiratory mask. To lower and regulate the oxygen content of the hypoxic gas mixture delivered for inhalation, part of it, collected in surge tank, can be added by a mixing regulator to the ambient air taken in by the compressor through the air intake filter.

Abstract: Panels for coffered ceilings comprising cladding panels of sheet metal or similar material and a method for mounting such panels. Each cladding panel comprises an essentially flat principal surface enclosed by longitudinally running joining sections as well as at least one longitudinally running stiffening section bent at an angle to the principal surface. The joining sections are designed so that any chosen panel can be removed simply and without the use of tools, so that a good seal is obtained between the panels, and so that it is possible to draw apart these to fit certain dimensions. In addition, the panels should hook into each other and remain sealed even if they should expand and buckle downwards due to fire or some other reason. According to the invention, this is solved by each of the joining sections of the panels being designed with a spacer section that ends in a hook-shaped section and that the spacer sections and the hook-shaped sections are designed so that they allow tightening and a certain displacement between the joining sections of close-by panels that overlap, and that the hook-shaped sections hook into each other first when the panels have been dawn apart a short distance from each other.

Abstract: The separation device of the invention is directed to a container having an interior surface defining a channel. The container further has an inlet and an outlet. On the interior surface of the channel are pole tips which may be in a sawtooth configuration having sharp angles facing the interior of the channel that generate a high gradient magnetic field in the channel. Within the channel may be incorporated separating material. The separating material eliminates the direct contact of cells with the magnetic pole material. The separating material, as well as the sawtooth pole tips also serves the purpose of creating a field gradient across the entire container to avoid the problem of zero field gradient in the center of the container where the velocity is greatest, and where more cells flow. The separating material is designed to cause a substantially unobstructed flow of medium through the channel so that unlabeled substances are not trapped in the separating material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to orient, position and spin print indicia on pellet shaped articles 12, such as pharmaceutical capsules and the like. More specifically, the method and apparatus 10 use a rotating pick-up drum 18 that receives and transports the pellet shaped articles 12 to a rotating positioning drum 20 that is synchronized with the pick-up drum 18. The positioning drum 20 receives the pellet shaped articles 12 from the pick-up drum 18 and properly aligns the pellet shaped articles 12 so that they may be transferred to a rotating printing drum 22 which is also synchronized with the positioning drum 20. The printing drum 22 contains a vacuum source 70 that maintains the pellet shaped articles 12 within pockets 42 as the pellet shaped articles 12 are passed through a printing station 24. The printing station 24 contains a movable printing roller 76 capable of being moved toward and away from the printing drum 22 such that the printing roller 76 accurately spin prints indicia onto the pellet shaped articles 12. A servo controller unit 26 is connected to the apparatus 10 and is configured to control, among other features of the apparatus 10, the rotation speed of the drums, but also the precise location of the printing roller 96 in relationship to the rotating printing drum 22. <IMAGE>
