Patent EP-1542563-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MAIDEN MILES
IPC: A45F3/20
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: A wearable or portable intermittently operable hydration system (10) includes a purification module (22) that contains one or more solid state UV devices that are positioned in the path of hydrating fluid, or water, flow through the hydration system to a mouthpiece (18) or other orifice. The purification module (22) provides a path for the fluid past one or more solid state UV devices, such as UV LEDs, that produce UV radiation in a germicidal range. When the fluid is flowing past the UV LEDs, the LEDs are turned on to provide sufficient UV radiation to purify the water. The UV LEDs are instant on devices with essentially no ramp-up required, and a sensor (20) or other signaling means in the flow path controls the turning on of the UV LEDs whenever the user initiates the fluid flow. The fluid flow path may run from a bladder (12) in a backpack (19) worn by the user, a sports bottle worn by or carried by the user or may be through a water filtration system that a user operates via a pump. The power for the purification module may come from batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, power converted from pumping or winding action or any combination thereof. Further, UV LEDs may be included in the walls of the container as additional or alternative sources of UV radiation. The UV LEDs in the walls of the container may then be turned on when sufficient energy is available, as a precaution against, for example, a change in environmental conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for carburizing at subatmospheric pressures. According to said method, a treatment gas containing hydrocarbons is supplied to a treatment chamber and an exhaust stream exits said chamber. The opacity of the gas atmosphere that prevails in the treatment chamber (3) and/or the opacity of the exhaust stream (4) that exits said chamber (3) is/are determined and the supply of the treatment gas (1) containing hydrocarbons to the treatment chamber (3) is regulated in accordance with the opacity that has been determined. If an opacity value that has been set or can be set is exceeded, the supply of the treatment gas (1) containing hydrocarbons to the treatment chamber (3) can be interrupted, or the quantity of treatment gas (1) containing hydrocarbons that is supplied to said chamber (3) can be reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for dislodging a mold from a casting formed within the mold. The mold may be removed from the casting by scoring the mold and applying a force sufficient to cause the mold to fracture and break into pieces. Additionally, the mold may be fractured by either explosive charges placed in the mold pack or by high energy pulsations directed at the mold. Once the mold is fractured and broken into various pieces it may then be dislodged from the casting.

Abstract: The invention is intended to provide a downhill speed
control system which employs a method of setting a target
vehicle speed in advance, thereby improving controllability
when a vehicle runs down a slope, and giving an operator
improved operability in setting of the target vehicle speed.
Brakes are controlled so that, when the vehicle runs down
the slope, an actual vehicle speed is matched with a target
speed set by a switch which can set the target speed by
selectively or continuously changing plural preset speeds. 
     Also, control constants for PID control are modified
depending on settings of a downslope gradient setting switch
and a load setting switch. When an acceleration computed
from the actual vehicle speed is larger than a target
acceleration, the strength of applied brake is increased. 
     Data set by a steering angle setting switch and the
downslope gradient angle setting switch is held in a taught
data holding means in sync with information regarding the
distance from a start point of a downward slope. In a data
reproduction mode, the held data is read in sync with the
information regarding the distance from the start point of
the downward slope to control the brakes so that the actual
vehicle speed is matched with the downslope running target
speed.
