Abstract: A substantially rectangular piece of flexible web having a first end and a second end and an elastic portion therebetween, stretchable along a longitudinal axis of the piece of web. The piece of web has a length great enough to encircle a user's waist surer that the first and second ends overlap. The first end has a reclosable fastening system for attaching the flit end to the piece of web near the second end in order to hold the piece of web around the user's waist when the piece of web is stretched. The back wrap further comprise a plurality of individual thermal elements embedded in the piece of web. The plurality of thermal elements have a substantially planar diamond-shaped pattern which approximates the shape of erector muscles in the user's back.  The pattern has a gap transverse to the longitudinal axis which corresponds to the user's spine. The elastic back wrap may further include an individual thermal element located in the gap of the pattern such that the single thermal element covers the user's sacroiliac at the base of the user's spine. The elastic back wrap has a means for increasing friction between the piece of web and a user's body in order to reduce slippage of the wrap during use. The means for increasing friction may include a foam strip attached transverse to the longitudinal axis of the piece d web on the body-facing side thereof.

Granted: 2007-04-10
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a polyimide sleeve where a polyimide sleeve of a high quality can be manufactured easily with a superior yield. A sleeve of a release resin is fitted on a planished metal core or a core at least whose outer surface is made of a release resin, and a polyimide precursor solution is applied on its outer surface. Next, after generating an imide reaction of the polyimide precursor by heating to form an almost completely cured polyimide sleeve, this polyimide sleeve is removed from the core together with the sleeve of the release resin.      Furthermore, the polyimide sleeve is separated from the sleeve of the release resin.

Title: Process for treating a solid-liquid mixture
Inventor: COLLINGS ANTHONY FRANCIS
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 2001-09-13
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A process for treating a solid-liquid mixture by cavitation has been develop ed to decompose at least some contaminant associated with the solid particles, the contaminant either being adsorbed into the pores of the solid or onto th e surface of the solid particles. The process includes the step of subjecting the mixture to cavitation such that a portion of the contaminant is chemical ly decomposed. Typically the chemical decomposition occurs at the surface of th e solid particles, although the process can also occur to some extent within t he pores near the surface of the solid material being treated. Typically the cavitation process is an ultrasonic treatment step, although other cavitatio n processes are applicable, for example high shear mixing. The cavitation effe ct is capable of achieving physico-chemical changes at the particle surfaces. T he localised high temperatures on bubble collapse (as high as 5000K) can decompose contaminant substances such as PCB and other hazardous materials including polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), organochloride and organophosphate compounds, pesticides and the like. One of the advantages of the treatment process is that the decomposition products are quenched quickly to the temperature of the bulk fluid (at, for example, 50oC) which avoids the reformation of the PCB or the formation of undesirable side reaction product s such as dioxins.
