IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a compartmentalized storage
system (100) for temporarily storing and subsequently mixing at least two different
substances. The compartmentalized storage system (100) comprises a first storing
compartment (110) having a front (111) and a back (112), and a plurality of sides (113,114,115,116), defining a first
cavity portion. The first storing compartment (110) may optionally include a tearable
seal (117). A solid sorbing substrate (120), such as a wipe, and a first substance (121) are stored
in the first storing compartment (110). The compartmentalized storage system (100) further
comprises a second storing compartment (130) having a front (131) and a back (132) and a
plurality of sides (133,134,135,136), defining a second cavity portion. A second substance (140) is
stored in the second storing compartment (130). The first (110) and the second (130)
compartments are attached to each other by at least one common side (113,135), which
common side (113,135) comprises a frangible seal (150) connecting the first (110) and the second (130)
compartments. By applying force to the frangible seal (150), the seal (150) will break and
thereby allow the second substance (140) in the second storing compartment (130) to be
mixed with the solid sorbing substrate (120) and the first substance (121) in the first storing
compartment (110). The present invention is also directed to a compartmentalized
storage system (100) for temporarily storing and subsequently mixing at least two
different edible substances (320,340). The present invention is further directed to methods
for using the compartmentalized storage systems (100) to temporarily store and
subsequently mix at least two different substances (121,140).

Abstract: For assigning bandwidth in a constrained topology ethernet network there is
presented a function that creates and manages a ledger of bandwidth requests over the
ethernet network. The function, a bandwidth manager, tracks the total bandwidth of
each link in the network and the bandwidth that has been reserved on each link. 
     When traffic is granted reserved bandwidth the bandwidth manager notes this
allocation in the ledger. The header of the traffic packets indicates that the traffic is
of highest priority when the traffic has been given reserved bandwidth. In this
manner the bandwidth manager can track and limit the amount of high priority traffic
on the network.

Abstract: A sheet structure obtained by separately producing an
artificial leather base material and a leather-like skin,
and combining the two together in simple equipment. An
artificial leather having air permeability is produced as
follows. A film material is filled in concavities of a
transfer sheet having a convexo-concave shape reverse to a
leather-like convexo-concave surface to form a perforated
film layer. On the perforated film layer is formed a
porous layer formed of open-cell foam. The porous layer is
formed by coating an aqueous polyurethane dispersion
solution containing base resin, which is foamed through
agitation, followed by drying. The resultant sheet
structure is thermally laminated on a desired base material.
The base material is composed of a nonwoven fabric, a woven
fabric, a knit, or the like, impregnated with foamed
polyurethane as necessary. A thermally-fused open-cell
foamed layer may additionally be formed on the porous layer
to enhance flexibility and peeling strength, Lastly, the
transfer sheet is peeled off.

Abstract: A method for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure. The
method includes the steps of: detecting rotational information of
respective tires; respectively calculating and storing a wheel speed, a
vehicle acceleration, a slip ratio between front and rear wheels, a
running distance and a turning radius; accumulating the running
distance, the moving-averaged vehicle acceleration and the slip ratio
between front and rear wheels; obtaining a linear regression coefficient
and a correlation coefficient of the vehicle acceleration and the slip ratio;
judging whether at least a driving wheel tire has decompressed upon
comparing a judged value of the linear regression coefficient and a
reference value for internal pressure of the linear regression coefficient;
and issuing an alarm of decrease in tire air-pressure. It is possible to
improve performance and safety of the vehicle since it is possible to
detect decompression of tires including at least one driving wheel tire,
for instance, of not less than two wheel tires including the right and left
driving wheels.

Abstract: Anlagen zum Strahlungshärten nach dem Stande der Technik weisen eine gasoder wassergekühlte Strahlapparatur auf, die innerhalb einer mit Inertgas befüllten Strahlungskammer angeordnet ist. Zur Sicherstellung der Inertisierung weisen sowohl der Eingangs- als auch der Ausgangsbereich Schleusensysteme auf. Derartige Anlagen sind sehr aufwändig im Einsatz und weisen einen hohen Verbrauch an Kühlenergie auf. 
     Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Anlage wird das Inertgas teilweise oder vollständig durch die Gaskühlung der Strahlapparatur hindurchgeleitet und zur Kühlung der Strahlapparatur eingesetzt. Das in der Stahlapparatur erwärmte Inertgas wird anschließend dem Bestrahlungsbereich zugeführt und in einen Bestrahlungsbereich vor der Strahlapparatur geleitet. Die zu bestrahlenden Teile werden im Bestrahlungsbereich somit in einer Wolke aus sauerstoffreduziertem Gas bestrahlt. Ein zweiter Teil des Inertgases kann an der Strahlapparatur vorbeigeführt und unmittelbar in den Bestrahlungsbereich eingedüst werden. 
     Nur im unmittelbaren Bestrahlungsbereich wird Inertgas benötigt. Die Inertisierung der gesamten Strahlungskammer entfällt ebenso wie aufwändige Schleusenanlagen. Gleichzeitig wird das Inertgas zugleich zur Kühlung der Strahlungsapparatur eingesetzt. Auf diese Weise wird der Energieverbrauch deutlich reduziert.

Abstract: An urethral drain having deep external drainage
channels, a low-profiled bladder retention segment, and a
reversibly detachable collection segment, facilitates the
draining of urine and fluids from the bladder. The low-profiled
retention means minimizes bladder irritations and
the deep external channels reduce the occurrence of
infections. Incorporation of a reduced diameter smooth
segment on the catheter, proximate the location of the
external urethral sphincter allows the patient to void
normally and at will. Modifying the size of this smooth
segment aids the function of a defective sphincter in
controlling urine leakage. The drain can be worn concealed
within the urethra. Flushing action from normal voiding
washes out particulate matters in the urethra and the
concealed drain further minimizes contamination. Together,
these features improve quality of life for patients needing
catheterization.

pedal is depressed and if braking force is lower than a reference
braking force corresponding to a braking force immediately before
causing a wheel lock, differential limiting force of a center

brake system. Further, the reference braking force can be
determined according to a road friction coefficient, a grade of
road, a lateral acceleration and the like. Further, the
predetermined value of the differential limiting force may be
a constant value or may be a value corresponding to a front-to-rear
