Abstract: An oxide superconductor comprising an oxide which contains bismuth, lead, strontium, calcium and copper as constituent metal elements, and having an inner structure in which a region having a relatively high concentration of lead and not having a long cyclic structure is included in a region containing lead with a mole ratio larger than a lead-to-bismuth mole ratio of 0.2:1 and having a relatively low concentration of lead and a long cyclic structure. This oxide superconductor has a large pinning force and a high critical current density Jc even at a high temperature and even in a high magnetic field. This oxide superconductor can be manufactured by an industrial method, and enables wire rods to be formed easily.

Abstract: A method of constructing a polymer support frame (10) over which woven wire cloth (158,159) is to be stretched and secured to form a sifting screen is described. The method comprises the steps of locating a reinforcing wire frame assembly in a mould tool. The wire frame comprises two parallel spaced apart arrays of reinforcing wires (48,50,54,56,60,62,64). After closing the mould, liquid polymer is injected into the mould tool so as to wholly encapsulate the wire frame and to form an article having an open central region criss-crossed by intersecting orthogonal ribs (14,16) bounded on all sides by a rigid flange. Each of the ribs (14,16) contains two of the parallel spaced apart wires of the frame assembly. After permitting the polymer to cure, the tool is opened and the article is removed. The wire frame assembly is located and held in shape and position by applying an inward force on opposite faces of the wire frame assembly within the mould tool, by fingers protruding inwardly from inside faces of the tool. The fingers engage the wire matrices when the tool closes. The polymer is typically a glass-reinforced plastics material, and in order to assist in bonding the wire cloth to the support frame (10) the faces of peripheral edge regions of the support frame (10) over which woven cloth (158,159) is laid and to which the cloth (158,159) is to be bonded by heating, are formed during moulding with a plurality of substantially parallel ridges (30,32).

Abstract: An RC oscillator having an oscillation frequency which is controllable by supplying a step voltage signal to a series arrangement of a capacitor and a resistor, the oscillation frequency being dependent on the time for the capacitor to be charged to a given voltage level. In order to vary the frequency, the amplitude of the supplied step voltage is varied instead of the resistance of the resistor via which the capacitor is charged. The amplitude variation can be provided, for example, by a potentiometer which acts as a voltage divider for the step voltage. The tolerance of the potentiometer in regard to its resistance value will not be relevant, because it is only the ratio between different portions thereof which is determinative. The step voltage, and consequently the oscillation frequency, will be proportional to the setting of the potentiometer regardless of the resistance tolerance thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a concentration measuring apparatus and a test strip for the concentration measuring apparatus, whereby a component to be measured can be measured by the test strip fit to the target component to be measured.  A type judgement electrode (104) is provided separately from a positive electrode (102) and a negative electrode (103) in a measuring apparatus (101) so as to judge the type of a set test strip with the measuring apparatus. Thus only when a test strip (115) matching the measuring apparatus is set, the type judgement electrode is electrically connected to a terminal of the set test strip, enabling the measuring apparatus to measure a component to be measured in a liquid test sample. A measuring apparatus (251) detects a calibration curve information selection change for selecting a calibration curve information corresponding to a production lot of the set test strip thereby to compensate for an error in a measured concentration value of the component.

Abstract: An anti-reentry apparatus and method for reverting ventricular arrhythmias. Biphasic stimulation is applied at multiple ventricular sites to revert arrhythmias caused by reentry, particularly multiple random reentry. In the preferred embodiment, the first phase of biphasic stimulation is anodal, and is at a maximum subthreshold amplitude. The anodal phase preconditions the myocardium to accept the second phase (cathodal) such that less electrical energy is required to reach the threshold amplitude to produce depolarization. The anodal phase stimulation may have a shape over time that is square wave, ramped, or a series of short square wave pulses. Multiple electrodes located at multiple ventricular sites may be stimulated simultaneously, or they may be sequentially stimulated over time in a manner mimicking the normal progress pattern of cardiac depolarization. The multiple ventricular electrodes may stimulate from internal or external surfaces. One or both ventricles may receive biphasic stimulation from multiple electrodes. The invention also may be practiced with respect to atria.

Abstract: A method for limiting peak transmit power in a CDMA communication system by transmitting a first communication signal having a first high transmit power region, and transmitting a second communication signal having a second high transmit power region. A first and a second communication signal are time offset to prevent the first and second high transmit power regions from occurring simultaneously. Time shifting only a portion of the first and second communication signals is also taught. The first and second communication signals can also include respective first and second low transmit power regions. The time offset can be selected to align one of the first and second high transmit power regions with one of the first and second low transmit power regions. The total transmit power signal can be determined and the time offset can be selected to minimize a peak level of the total transmit power signal. The communication signals are separated into a plurality of portions and portions of the first and second communication signals are time offset to re-order the sequence of transmission of the plurality of portions.

Title: Pot for evenly brewed tea/coffee
Inventor: BRENNAN MARTIN
IPC: A47G19/00
Filed: 2010-03-10
Abstract: A teapot or coffeepot comprises two chambers, a primary chamber 1 for teabags and hot water and a secondary chamber 2 with hot water only, divided by a sloped wall 3 between the chambers. To pour tea in use the user lifts the teapot at an angle so as to cause tea to flow out of the spout. The lifting and pouring action also causes water to be simultaneously poured from the secondary chamber over the top 4 of the sloped divider, into the primary chamber. This improves the consistency of the tea strength by diluting the tea remaining in the primary chamber and thus preventing it becoming too strong for subsequent consumption. In use, the pot is also suitable for brewing coffee and other similar beverages. <Figure 1>
