Title: Press and method for laminating board-shaped work pieces via pressure and heat
Inventor: RENZ WOLFGANG
IPC: B30B7/02
Filed: 2007-08-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a press and a method to laminate board-shaped work pieces via pressure and heat. The press comprises an upper press table 1 having an upper press plate 7 and a lower press table 2 having a lower press plate 10, with the upper and/or the lower press plate can be heated. The press further comprises a one or two-part encircling gasket 16, 17, arranged at the upper press table 1 or the upper press plate 7 and/or the lower press table 2 to form a vacuum pressure chamber when the press is closed, means 4 to open and close the press, as well as means to evacuate the vacuum chamber formed by the seal 16, 17. According to the invention the lower press plate 10 can be raised in reference to the lower press table 2 and is arranged such that a work piece 6 located in the press initially does not contact the heated press plate 7, 10 when the vacuum pressure chamber is closed. The lamination method according to the invention is therefore embodied in two steps: first the vacuum pressure chamber is evacuated and only then the work piece is hot pressed.

Title: System and method for intrusion detection
Inventor: SONSTEROD TOR
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: Present day intrusion detection systems frequently cause false alarms by mistaking occupants as intruders, and it is desirable to reduce such false alarms. This invention comprises a processor that employs various software algorithms. The processor receives signals over temporal periods and softwar e algorithms statistically discern various activities, thereby reducing false alarms and detection failures. The software algorithms are adaptive to the level of detected activity such that a rate of false alarms may be predetermined. As such, the processor and software algorithms comprise an artificial intelligence system. This artificial intelligence system may be employed in intruder and vehicle alarm systems composed of a multiplicity of detectors and within such detectors. A second aspect of this invention is an improved infrasound detection method that may be employed in such artificial intelligence.

Abstract: A dry powder inhaler for pulmonary or nasal use, comprising at least an inhaler body (100) and a cartridge (110) with one or two compartments (121) each containing one dose of a drug. The compartment (121) has holes (123) to admit air and holes (120) to deliver powder, which, in use, communicate with an inhalation (102) channel in the inhaler body (100). To prevent the powder from leaking through the compartment holes before use, the air admission holes (123) are of reduced dimension, thereby blocking or hindering powder exit under the force of gravity. When the cartridge 110 is inserted inside the inhaler body (100), all its holes (120, 123) are blocked. By sliding the cartridge (110) in relation to the body (100) until the inhalation position is reached, the holes (120, 123) come into in fluid communication with one another and with the inhalation channel (103), thereby allowing a flow of air to disperse and entrain the dose through the mouthpiece (103). Five embodiments of the invention are disclosed.
