Abstract: Patente of invention for ‘’Hydrogen Diffusion Barrier on Steel by Means of a Pulsed-Plasmalon-Nitriding Process’’. The present invention refers to a pulsed-plasma ion-nitriding process performed with the objective of creating hydrogen diffusion barrier on steel, herein exemplified by using the API 5L X-65 steel; high-strength low-alloy steel. The pulsed-plasma ion-nitriding consisted to drive ions and active species of atomic and molecular nitrogen to the material's surface by applying a difference of potential between two electrodes, periodically interrupted with a pre-determined frequency, such that the cathode (1) is the own material or piece to be treated, in a chamber (2) that was previously vacuum pumped (4) and then filled up (6) with the gas nitrogen or a gaseous mixture containing this gas.

Abstract: A laterally expandable spinal implant includes a central body and two wings that are adapted to be received within an inner chamber formed within the central body. The wings have guide rails that fit into grooves defined in the central body. To ensure that the implant is properly secured, each guide rail has an outer end with a cutting surface that cuts into vertebral end plates when the wings are extended. The two wings are connected together through a central turnbuckle shaft that has geared teeth and threading on both ends that engage threaded cavities in the wings. Through the gear teeth, the turnbuckle shaft is able to be rotated so as to laterally extend the wings from the central member. A locking mechanism locks the turnbuckle shaft to prevent the wings from retracting.

Inventor: PLETERSEK ANTON
IPC: G05F3/26
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit qui comprend une source PTAT (proportionnelle à la température absolue) à basse tension. Des générateurs de courant (t1, t2) sont commandés de façon que leurs courants de sortie I1 et I2, respectivement, présentent des propriétés de température du quotient VPTAT/R. Le courant I1 est conduit vers une première borne (X) sur une première connexion d'une composition de résistance montées en série (Ra, Rb), une seconde connexion étant mise à la terre. Un transistor (T) est monté dans le sens direct entre la première borne (X) et la terre, comme une diode. Le courant I2 est conduit vers une seconde borne (Y), de préférence, en étant simultanément une connexion commune (Z) des résistances (Ra, Rb). La tension de référence Vr est tirée de la connexion (Z). Lesdites résistances (Ra, Rb) sont fabriquées selon la technique N-WELL de la même façon que la résistance (R), dont la valeur de résistance est générée avec le quotient mentionné. Le circuit proposé est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un régulateur de sommation à courant régulé, qui est également proposé par l'invention. Au moyen de ce régulateur, une tension de très basse référence de 0,35 V à une faible tension d'alimentation inférieure à 0,9 V peut atteindre, dans une plage de températures allant de -50 °C à 150 °C. De plus, ce régulateur n'introduit pas simultanément une tension de décalage qui entraîne un comportement non idéal.
