Abstract: A fluid-powered rotatable work platform assembly for use with a vehicle such as a vehicle having an arm for positioning the assembly. The assembly includes a work platform or support configured to support a load, a body having a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis, and an output shaft rotatably disposed within the body generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis. A linear-to-rotary force transmitting member is positioned within the cavity of the body and engaged with the body and the output shaft to translate linear motion of the force transmitting member to rotational motion of one of the output shaft and the body relative to the other. The work platform is coupled to one of the body and the output shaft with at least one link and the arm of the vehicle is coupled to the other of the body and the output shaft so that when the output shaft and the body rotate relative to one another, the work platform rotates relative to the arm of the vehicle, while the pivoting link allows the work platform to move downward under the load. A sensor is operatively coupled to the work platform to sense the downward movement and/or an increasing load on the work platform.

Abstract: Polymeric hollow particles for delivery of an agent are provided that change permeability in response to a change in an external stimulus such as pH, temperature, light, ionic strength, electric field, magnetic field and/or solvent composition. The particles can have a shell formed of an amphiphilic triblock ABA or BAB copolymer, where A is a hydrophilic block and B is a hydrophobic block. Low permeability particles with a reversibly permeable shell expand and increase permeability in response to a stimulus so that an active agent such as a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent can be introduced. Removing the stimulus allows the particles to return to a low permeability state to form particles loaded with the active agent. Surfaces of the particles can be modified with specific ligands that allow the particles to be directed to a specific target via molecular recognition.

Abstract: A composite filtration medium web of fibers containing a controlled dispersion of a mixture of sub-micron and greater than sub-micron diameter polymeric fibers is described. The filtration medium is made by a two dimensional array of cells, each of which produces a single high velocity two-phase solids-gas jet of discontinuous fibers entrained in air. The cells are arranged so that the individual jets are induced to collide in flight with neighboring jets in their region of fiber formation, to cause the individual nascent fibers of adjacent jets to deform and become entangled with and partially wrap around each other at high velocity and in a localized fine scale manner before they have had an opportunity to cool to a relatively rigid state. The cells are individually adjusted to control the mean diameters, lengths and trajectories of the fibers they produce. Certain cells are adjusted to generate a significant percentage of fibers having diameters less than one micron diameter, and which are relatively shorter in length and certain other cells are adjusted to generate a significant percentage of structure-forming reinforcing fibers having diameters greater than one micron diameter which are relatively longer in length. By employing appropriate close positioning and orientation of the cells in the array, the sub-micron fibers are caused to promptly entangle with and partially wrap around the larger reinforcing fibers. The larger fibers thereby trap and immobilize the sub-micron diameter fibers in the region of formation, to minimize the tendency of sub-micron diameter fibers to clump, agglomerate, or rope together in flight. Also, the larger fibers in flight are made to form a protective curtain to prevent the sub-micron fibers from being carried off by stray air currents.

Abstract: A cast stainless steel alloy and articles formed therefrom containing about 2.0 wt.% to about 10 wt.% manganese, 0.1 wt.% to 0.50 wt.% N, and less than 0.10 wt.% sulfur provides high temperature strength both in the matrix and at the grain boundaries without reducing ductility due to cracking along boundaries with continuous or nearly-continuous carbides. Alloys of the present invention also have increased nitrogen solubility thereby enhancing strength at all temperatures because nitride precipitates or nitrogen porosity during casting are not observed. The solubility of nitrogen is dramatically enhanced by the presence of manganese, which also retains or improves the solubility of carbon thereby providing additional solid solution strengthening due to the presence of manganese and nitrogen, and combined carbon. Such solution strengthening enhances the high temperature precipitation-strengthening benefits of fine dispersions of NbC. Such solid solution effects also enhance the stability of the austenite matrix from resistance to excess sigma phase or chrome carbide formation at higher service temperatures. The presence of sulfides is substantially eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a location method and system for locating a wireless terminal device (10) in a cellular network. At least two spatially diverse local measurement units (41-43) are arranged at a local determination unit (20) and adapted to receive a signal from the wireless terminal device (10). Measurement signals received from the at least two local measurement units (41-43) are processed at said local determination unit (20) to obtain a location information of said wireless terminal device (10) to be transmitted to a location center of said cellular network. The location information may be a time difference of arrival value or a location estimate. Thereby, a high accurate location can be provided in specific areas, such as indoor environments. Furthermore, network signaling load is reduced and clock synchronization between location measurement units is no longer required, due to the fact that the location information is directly generated at the local location measurement units.

Abstract: The invention relates to layers in substrate wafers. The aim of the invention is to provide layers in substrate wafers with which the drawbacks of conventional assemblies are overcome in order to achieve, on the one hand, an adequate resistance to latch-up in highly scaled, digital CMOS circuits with comparatively low costs and, on the other hand, to ensure low substrate losses/couplings for analog high-frequency circuits and, in addition, to influence the component behavior in a non-destructive manner. To these ends, the invention provides that in a highly resistive p-Si substrate (2) with one or more buried high-carbon Si layers (3) under an epitaxial layer and with the Si cap layer (4), an implantation dose, which is greater in comparison to conventional substrate wafers, is used for retrograde trough profiles by suppressing the dopant diffusion as well as the generation of defects when remedying implant defects, thereby achieving a reduction of the trough resistance, and finally, an increase in the resistance to latch-up.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and corresponding system for the computerized processing of documents with electronic signatures. For providing an electronically signed document to an exploiter the current invention suggests a first step of transforming a signer machine-readable source format of the document into a universal format representing said document identically and independently from a computer system used for its representation. In a second step the electronic signature is created based on the universal format of the document. Finally in a third step the electronic signature and a single representation of the document in an exchange format is provided to an exploiter. For further processing of the electronically signed document by an exploiter it is suggested to validate the electronic signature by transforming the exchange format of the document into the universal format of the document and validating said signature with respect to said universal format of the document. Finally an exploiter machine-readable source format of the document is created from its exchange format.
