Abstract: A high-performance rectifying device, in which diffusion of energy, temperature and concentration can be simultaneously promoted and yet a pressure loss is small, is disclosed. In a lattice type rectifying device equipped within a fluid flow passageway for equalizing a flow velocity distribution of the same fluid, lattice elements each consisting of two triangular plates (1, 1) disposed so as to form two opposed surfaces of a pyramid having its apex on the downstream side of the fluid flow and other two triangular plates (2, 2) forming two opposed surfaces of another pyramid having its apex jointed with the first-mentioned apex and having its bottom surface positioned on the downstream side of the fluid flow, the latter two opposed surfaces having their orientations deviated by 90 degrees from the two opposed surfaces on the upstream side, are arrayed in juxtaposition in the directions perpendicular to the fluid flow with the orientations of adjacent lattice elements deviated by 90 degrees from each other and are connected in such manner that the bottom surfaces of the above-mentioned pyramids may form a lattice. Furthermore, as an essential condition, a ratio (L/B) of a length (L) in the direction parallel to the flow of the lattice element to a breadth (B) in the direction perpendicular to the flow of the lattice element should be kept in the range of 1.5 - 2.0. A modified embodiment, in which a lattice constituent element is formed of a rectangular plate twisted by 90 degrees in the same direction along the direction of the fluid flow in place of the assembly of triangular plates, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A totally split mechanical face seal being installable and replaceable without necessitating breakdown of the shaft and/or housing. The inventive split seal is well suited for replacement of packing or stuffing in heavy duty or inaccessible locations. The inventive seals include a sealing element (112) that seals the primary ring (106) against the shaft (16) and rigidly positions the primary ring (106) in the axial, circumferential and radial directions, and also includes a sealing element (740 which seals the mating ring (84) against the housing (24) and non-rigidly positions the mating ring (84) in the axial direction while simultaneously providing an axial biasing force on the mating ring to provide mating contact of the two rings (84, 106). For applications where gross displacements of the shaft (16) relative to the housing (24) are expected, a thrust bearing or a connection (278, 256, 240, 242, 244) is made between the mating ring assembly (80) and rotating elements associated with the shaft (16). Alternatively, a bearing assembly (342) is provided for maintaining the axial position of the primary ring assembly (104) and both primary and mating rings (106, 84) are held in approximately the same positions relative to each other regardless of the gross shaft displacements.

Abstract: Dental floss provided with chemotherapy agents, including wax that is emulsible upon contact with saliva. State of the art dental flosses achieve an efficient release of active agents within the oral environment, by using soluble waxes, but said solution decreases comfort of application since there is a decrease in the levels of sliding and penetration between the teeth, in comparison to the use of insoluble waxes. The use of said emulsible wax allows for an efficient release of the chemotherapy agent through the oral environment - preferably fluoride ions - while maintaining the same levels of sliding and penetration between teeth as are obtained with insoluble wax.

Abstract: A microfabricated, tuning fork rate sensitive structure and drive electronics in which vibrational forces are communicated through a set of meshing drive (40,42) and driven (36,38) finger electrodes associated with each of two vibrating elements (18,20). The vibrating elements (18,20) are supported in a rotatable assembly (16) between first and second support electrodes (22,24) which are in turn suspended by flexures (28,26) for rotation about an axis passing through the flexures (28,26) and through a point midway between the vibrating elements (18,20). Additional masses (74,76) are formed onto the vibrating elements (18,20) to improve overall sensor sensitivity. Sense electrodes (54,60,56,58) for detecting capacitive changes between the support electrodes (22,24) and the sense electrodes (54,60,56,58) are positioned at each end of the support electrodes (22,24). Drive electronics (62) are connected between the driven fingers (36,38) of the vibrating elements (18,20) and the drive electrode fingers (40,42) which mesh with them to cause vibration. Excitation is provided between the support electrodes (22,24) and the sense electrodes (54,60,56,58). Any change in signal resulting from rotation of the assembly (16) and the resulting variation in capacitance between the support electrodes (22,24) and the sense electrodes (54,60,56,58) is sensed as a measure of inertial rate. A torque loop may be additionally formed using the sense electrodes (54,60,56,58) in order to re-torque the assembly to a neutral position in a torque-to-balance loop.

Abstract: A dryer has an internal drying chamber (41) for accommodating articles that are subjected to heated circulating air to remove moisture from the articles. An air mixing chamber contains a first fan (74) for moving air through a heater (73) into the drying chamber (41). A second fan (77) draws air out of the drying and mixing chambers and discharges air through a filter (31,32,33) into the external environment. The heated air in the drying chamber is mixed (43) with fresh air and recirculated through the drying chamber to minimize heat losses and increase drying effectiveness. Ultraviolet lamps (59,61,95) within the drying chamber destroy contaminants in the air and articles within the chamber. A boot dryer (79), located in the drying chamber, has fans (94,96) that move air through tubes (84,86,87,88) used to support boots, shoes, skates and socks. Ultraviolet light (95) in the boot chamber destroy contaminants in the air in the boot chamber and articles supported on the tubes. One modification of the dryer (400) located within a locker room is used to remove moisture and odors from the air in the locker room. The dryer has a dehumidifier (418) for cooling and removing moisture from the air, a heater coil (423) for heating the air, ultraviolet lights (436) for destroying contaminants and a charcoal filter for removing odors from the air flowing out of the dryer. Another modification of the dryer has a portable housing (600) supporting a heater (628) and a fan (624) for moving air through filters (623) and a drying chamber (608).

Abstract: A night vision binocular assembly capable of converting low light and infrared energy into a visible image. The night vision binocular assembly includes at least one objective lens assembly, image intensifier tube, collimator lens assembly and diopter cell assembly encased in an easy to assembly waterproof housing. The objective lens assembly, image intensifier tube, collimator lens assembly and diopter cell assembly are all supported by a common base structure within the housing. As a result, variations caused by thermal expansions and contractions are evenly distributed among the various optical elements, thereby preserving a predetermined optical relationship between those elements. Simple button controls are used to operate and adjust the night vision binocular assembly. The button controls are disposed on a common circuit board. An elastomeric structure is disposed between the circuit board and the interior of the binocular housing. The circuit board is affixed to the interior of the binocular housing in a manner that compresses the elastomeric structure against the binocular housing which is further sealed to the housing to provide a water tight seal. The elastomeric structure has switch membranes or domed portions which extend through apertures in the housing creating both a fluid impermeable seal with the housing and a means for the tactile engagement of the switches on the below lying circuit board.
