Abstract: The controlled generation of vapors and/or aerosols from liquids is accomplished by applying a regulated, DC voltage to a wicklike, porous emitter or generator assembly which is supplied with the desired liquid to be vaporized. An electrostatic charge is applied to the liquid by means of an electrode positioned in contact with the wick assembly and connected to the DC power supply. The wick assembly includes a porous, capillary material, such as braided fibers, through which the liquid passes to exposed, vapor-emitting fiber tips. The environment in a room, enclosed spaced of any kind, or a building may be aromatically conditioned and/or have its quality modified and enhanced by using a selected liquid conditioning substance such as an aromatic oil, deodorant, disinfectant, fumigant, fungicide, insecticide, or bactericide. Charged, conditioning vapors may be discharged into the circulating air of a building air conditioning system by mounting an emitter assembly within an air handling duct, directly in the moving air stream.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided to cool an oxide superconductor material using liquid nitrogen to a temperature lower than its boiling point. There are two kinds of cooling, i.e., cooling under reduced pressure and cooling under ordinary pressure. The reduced-pressure cooling device has a coil-accommodating chamber which is a reduced-pressure vessel. The pressure in the coil-accommodating chamber is reduced by a pressure-reducing pump, whereby the liquid nitrogen assumes a temperature of the triple point. The ordinary-pressure cooling device has a cooling portion of the refrigerator in the coil-accommodating chamber, and in which the liquid nitrogen is cooled down to its melting point.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE92/01010 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 25, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 25, 1994 PCT Filed Dec. 4, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/10768 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 10, 1993Nanosols and process for preparing the same allow colloidally dispersed solutions of scarcely water-soluble active substances to be stabilized with gelatin or its derivatives, by partly or fully setting the iso-ionic point (IIP, equivalent to a neutral charge) between the gelatin and the surface charged active substance particles. In order to neutralize the charge of the system composed of active substance particles and gelatin, the surface charge of the particles is compensated by a corresponding opposite charge of the gelatin molecules. For that purpose, a determined charge in relation to the isoelectric point (IEP) and the pH value of the solution is set on the gelatin molecules. By stabilizing in this way the practically monodispersed state thus generated, the Ostwald maturation of the colloidal particles of scarcely soluble active substance is strongly reduced. A new form of pharmaceutical administration having new properties can thus be obtained with generally scarcely water-soluble inorganic and organic compounds, in particular medicaments with a problematic bioavailablity. Preferred medicaments are glibenclamide and 3-indolylacetic acid derivatives, such as indomethacin or acemetacin.

Inventor: PAJTAS SCOTT ROBERT
IPC: B29D30/02
Filed: 1993-03-03
Abstract: The relatively harsh "ride" of a non-pneumatic tire ("NPT") is greatly improved by a ring of elastomeric material referred to as a "ride-enhancing insert" ("RI"). The RI is pre-positioned on the outer surface of a wheel rim on which the NPT is to be molded of elastomeric material, most preferably a polyurethane, which is peculiarly well-suited to survive normal use on various vehicles, particularly as a replacement for a conventional spare tire, or "minispare" in an automobile. The RI is surprisingly tolerant of stress and heat loads generated by operation of the NPT/RI. The RI has a large effect on the spring rate of the NPT when deflected over a cleat, and a reduction in spring rate when deflected over a smooth laminar surface. This is of particular importance since the deflection over a cleat is where the improvement in ride is most noticeable. The degree of ride-enhancement can be tailored by choosing the size and shape of the RI, along with the physical properties of the elastomer from which it is formed.

Abstract: The valve actuator comprises a base (1) with a base flange (3) and an output shaft (5) rotatable in the latter, as well as a cylinder (6) containing a piston (7) with an intergrally shaped tubular conversion member (8) with external helical grooves (9) and internal straight splines (11) engaging with corresponding helical ridges (10) in the central bore in the base and straight splines (12) on the output shaft (5) converting an upward or downward movement of the piston (7) to a rotational movement of the piston (7) and the output shaft (5) in one direction or the other, and a spring housing (2) consisting of a shell (16) and a cover (17) and containing a dished-spring stack (13), the latter exerting a downwardly directed force on the piston (7) through a spring hub (26) and an axial-thrust roller bearing (28). When pressurized fluid is supplied to the space below the piston (7) and the conversion member (8), these components move upwardly against the force from the dished-spring stack (13), causing the output shaft (5) to rotate in one direction, and when the fluid pressure is released, the force from the dished-spring stack (13) moves the piston (7) and the conversion member (8) downwardly, so that the output shaft (5) rotates in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A hard disk drive, having a removable hard disk stack or assembly (1) in which one or more hard disks (5a or 5b) are bonded by a compliant bonding agent (5d) to a circular hub (3). Bonding of the disk(s) (5a or 5b) to the hub (3) is the sole support of the disks (5a or 5b). The circular hub (3) has a center section (3c) which is secured by screw threaded attachment (13 or 3d) to a rotatable member (9) of a motor (7) for rotation at constant speed. The hub (3) center section is of sufficient strength not to deflect in the presence of securing forces. The integrated disk(s) (5a or 5b) and hub (3) provide a disk assembly (1) or disk stack which, when the hub (3) is attached to the rotatable member (9), functions as a fixed hard disk assembly (1) providing a fixed, hard disk drive function, while affording ease of removal of the integrated, hard disk assembly (1) for replacement or repair. The hard disk assembly (1) is ideally suited for application in small form factor drives, less than the 3 1/2 inch form factor, for example, in the one to two inch form factor range.

Abstract: Initially, a first buffer layer (20) is formed over an insulating layer (16,18) in an integrated circuit. The first buffer layer (20) has a different etch rate from the insulating layer (16,18). A second buffer layer (22) is then formed over the first buffer layer (20), with the second buffer layer (22) having an etch rate which is faster than the first buffer layer (20). An isotropic etch is performed to create an opening (26) through the second buffer layer (22) and a portion of the first buffer layer (20). Because the second buffer layer (22) etches faster than the first buffer layer (20) the slant of the sideswalls of the opening can be controlled. An anisotropic etch is then performed to complete formation of the contact via.
