Title: Alternating sheet evaporative cooling pad
Inventor: THOMAS PATRICIA T
IPC: F28F3/08
Filed: 1992-06-09
Granted: 1994-04-28
Abstract: An improved contact body for use in a liquid gas contact apparatus formed of first and second sets of corrugated sheet material arranged with the sheets of the first set disposed alternately with the sheets of the second set. The corrugations of the sheets define passageways which penetrate the contact body from edge to edge with both vertical and horizontal components of direction. The passageways are simultaneously passed by a flow of gas in one direction and liquid in the other direction in either counterflow or cross-flow in the contact apparatus. The corrugations of the first set of sheets cross the corrugations of the second set of sheets at an acute angle in the range of 15 DEG  to 80 DEG . Corrugations of the first set of sheets have a greater inclination to the horizontal plane of the contact apparatus than the corrugations of the second set of sheets and the corrugations of the first set of sheets have a smaller amplitude dimension than the corrugations of the second set of sheets. Corrugations in the first set of sheets are inclined upwardly in the direction of gas flow and the corrugations in the second set of sheets are inclined downwardly in the direction of gas flow whereby undesirable lateral displacement of the liquid stream caused by the gas flow is counteracted and the liquid is distributed uniformly and evenly over the sheets. An improved efficiency is also achieved with little or no increase in pressure drop as compared to contact bodies having both corrugated sheets of the larger amplitude.

Title: Water-in-oil emulsion explosive
Inventor: LIBOUTON JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: C06B47/14
Filed: 1984-03-16
Granted: 1987-07-23
Abstract: An explosive composition of the water-in-oil emulsion type includes at least one emulsified gel formed of an oxidizing solution of an inorganic salt dissolved in water and a fuel phase containing a liquid hydrocarbon and an emulsifier in combination with an inert or reactive lighting constituent and, if appropriate, one or more oxidizing salts or metal fuels.

Patent AU-765459-B2 (AU)
Title: Appendage correction device
Inventor: FOOTE BRIAN
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 1999-04-12
Granted: 2003-09-18
Abstract: There is disclosed a medical correction device for correcting the attitude of an appendage of the user which is prone to adopting an undesirable attitude, as is the case for example in conditions such as clawed fingers or dropped foot. The device comprises a base portion with means for securing the device to a user to which a resilient member such as a coiled spring, and a rotatable projection member are attached. The resilient member is also attached to the rotatable projection member and subtends an angle therewith. The device is mounted on a hand, wrist or proximate the ankle of the user such that relative rotation between the projection member and the base portion gives rise to a restoring force exerted by the resilient member, a component of which acts on the appendage. The interaction between the appendage of the user, projection member and the base portion is such that increased rotation of the projection member away from the base portion reduces the angle subtended between the projection member and the resilient member and accordingly the component of the restoring force transmitted by said projection member back to the base portion is increased and the component of the restoring force which acts on the appendage is reduced and substantially eliminated when the projection member and the resilient member are in alignment. The correcting effects of the device is therefore reduced and can be eliminated when the appendage is significantly angled with respect to the portion of the user to which said appendage is attached.

Title: Heart rate interval control for cardiopulmonary interval training
Inventor: HUISH DENNIS COPEN
IPC: A63B24/00
Filed: 1997-08-27
Granted: 2000-11-23
Abstract: Cardiopulmonary interval training between a user high target heart rate and a user low target heart rate is obtained with an exercise apparatus by increasing the load of the exercise apparatus at a first predetermined rate until either the maximum machine load is obtained or the high target heart rate. When this event occurs, the load can then be maintained at a fixed level for a predetermined time. Thereafter, the load is decreased until the low target heart rate is obtained, or the user-set exercise duration expired. The heart rate of the user is monitored during the exercise. In the event that measurement of a valid heart signal is lost at any time, any increase or decrease of the load of the exercise apparatus is terminated until a valid heart rate signal is reacquired. In the case when an exercise apparatus is a treadmill, the load can be varied by increasing or decreasing both the speed adjustment and the elevation adjustment of the treadmill. In the preferred embodiment, the speed is first adjusted until a user-set maximum speed is obtained and thereafter the elevation is adjusted in order to obtain the load variations toward or from the high and low target heart rates. The exercise may be repeated between the low and high target heart rates to provide cardiopulmonary interval training.
