Abstract: Characterizing electrochemical cell components and a response of an electrochemical cell to a specified operating condition involves preparing a sample of an electrode material in contact with an electrolyte. Self-heating, power-temperature or power-time data is obtained for the sample using a calorimetry technique, such as by use of an accelerating rate calorimetry technique or a differential scanning calorimetry technique. A power function is developed for the sample using the self-heating, power-temperature or power-time data. The power function is representative of thermal power per unit mass of the sample as a function of temperature and amount of reactant remaining from a reaction of the sample electrode material and electrolyte. A first power function is developed that characterizes a reaction between the cathode material and the electrolyte in terms of thermal power per unit mass of a cathode sample material, and a second power function is developed that characterizes a reaction between the anode material and the electrolyte in terms of thermal power per unit mass of the anode sample material. An electrode material sample from which a power function is developed is prepared using less than about 100 grams of the electrode material, such as between about 1 and 10 grams, but may be as little as between about 1 milligram and 1 gram. A computer system and computer-readable medium are provided to electronically design and test cells of arbitrary size and shape using power functions developed for individual electrode/electrolyte combinations.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of naltrexone and naloxone analogs, which are neutral antagonists at the µ opioid receptor, for the treatment of drug dependency in a drug-dependent individual. Suprisingly, it has been found that administration of a therapeutically effect amount of the naloxone or naltrexone analogs described herein for the treatment of a drug dependency, can result in reduction of undesirable side effects resulting from current treatments using naloxone and naltrexone. For example, the treatment described herein can result in a reduction in the withdrawal symptoms and aversion encountered in the use of naloxone and naltrexone in the treatment of drug dependency. In addition, the naltrexone and naloxone analogs of the invention can be used for the treatment of pain in an individual in need thereof by modulating opioid pain treatment using neutral antagonists, for example, reversing respiratory depression without causing other adverse effects. In addition, during chronic use of opioid drugs for pain therapy, neutral antagonists can be used to diminish constipation peripherally without effecting the central analgesic effects.

Title: Bead loading method and apparatus
Inventor: CORNET FRANCIS
IPC: B29D30/32
Filed: 2002-09-16
Abstract: A method for mounting beads on a tire carcass which is being laid up on tire building drum, particularly applicable to cases wherein the drum has a free end and an opposite end which is supported by a drum support (or comparable impediment to installing a bead from the opposite end of the drum). The method comprises disposing a first of two beads on the drum in an area which is between a carcass layup area and the drum support. The bead is moved into this position from the free end of the drum, and this is done before the process of laying up the carcass has resulted in there being an impediment to installing the bead from the free end of the drum, such as bumps resulting from tire insert components. This may be prior to any carcass components have been laid up, or after an inner liner has been laid up, or after an inner liner and inserts and a ply have been laid up on a drum having pockets (recesses) to alleviate bump formation. With the bead "parked" on the drum, yet out of the way of laying up the carcass, the carcass may be laid up. After laying up the carcass the bead is moved into position on the carcass. Then, additional tire components may be laid up on the tire carcass and/additional steps performed in the formation of the carcass. The other bead is installed onto the carcass in a conventional manner. In this manner, both beads may be installed from a one free end of a drum. A bead loading system includes a rail, two carriers hanging from the rail, and a bead holder at the end of each carrier. In a flexible, automatic tire building system having a sequence of work stations, after a completed carcass is removed from a drum at a last one of the workstations, a first bead for a subsequent carcass can be placed onto the drum at the last workstation, before the drum is re-circulated to the first work station.

Title: Timer
Inventor: AMONETT DANIEL KEITH
IPC: H01H19/11
Filed: 2002-10-15
Abstract: A cam-operated timer for a household appliance has a variety of improvements. An audible and tactile feedback member engages a textured surface on the cam wheel, to produce desired audible and tactile feedback when the timer is manually set.      When the timer is manually set, the cam-actuated switches are moved away from the cam surfaces, and a clutch is opened to permit bi-directional slip between the cam wheel and motor, so that the sole source of audible and tactile feedback is the audible and tactile feedback member. The timer also features lanced switch arm contacts, that provide a sharp contact edge to permit the switch arms to make good contact with adjacent switch arms. The switch arms are mounted in a stack of wafers, where each wafer may have switch arms of differing thickness or metal, allowing high current and low current switches to be mixed.      Features in the housing are used to receive and locate the wafers to prevent inaccuracies in wafer thickness from accumulating through the stack of wafers. Also, the motor and geartrain are reduced in size. The motor comprises a stator plate and a rotor mounted for rotation in the stator plate. The geartrain comprises meshing gears positioned on both opposite sides of the stator plate and mounted directly to the stator, for providing a gear reduction of the rotation of the motor.
