Title: Prefabricated shearwall having improved structural characteristics
Inventor: TRARUP GLENN M
IPC: E02D27/32
Filed: 2002-06-21
Abstract: A novel prefabricated shearwall is disclosed with improved structural characteristics in terms of its ability to 1) transfer lateral loads to the foundation, 2) resist bending moments normally arising in conventional shearwalls between hold-down hardware and end posts or vertical framing members, 3) effectively diffuse stresses known to result in nail fatigue, and 4) reduce slippage between the bottom of the end posts and base in response to cyclic loadings. These superior properties result partly from its geometry in lower, or shear force transfer region, accompanied by thrust block/anchor rod assemblies to provide stiffness and strength over the lower portion of the end posts. Furthermore, specialized wrap-around connector plates that cover a portion of the bottom surface of these end posts also contribute to the enhanced prefabricated shearwall design.

Title: Flat, bonded-electrode rechargeable electrochemical cell and method of making
Inventor: GOZDZ ANTONI S
IPC: H01M50/489
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: A Li-ion battery cell comprising a polymeric matrix positive electrode layer member, a polymeric matrix negative electrode layer member, and an interposed microporous polyolefin separator layer member is laminated into a unitary, flexible cell structure by means of heat and pressure without necessity of aplied interlayer adhesive. A volatile vehicle solution of a primary plasticizer for the electrode member polymer matrix is applied to the microporous separator member where it is absorbed into the porous structure.  Evaporation of the volatile vehicle solvent deposits the plasticizer upon and within the pores of the separator member. During the lamination operation the plasticizer is forced into contact with the electrode member polymer where it softens the polymer into a thermoplastic adhesive in the region of the electrode/separator interface, thereby enabling the electrode polymer alone to form a strong bond to the separator upon cooling.

Abstract: A system for controlling configuration settings for mobile data communication devices and services includes a redirection server and a policy generation system. The redirection server detects a triggering event in a host system and in response to the triggering event continuously redirects data items from the host system to a wireless network. Each mobile data communication device receives data items from the wireless network and includes a device configuration stored in a memory location on the mobile data communication device. The device configuration of each mobile data communication device controls one or more functions of the mobile data communication device. The policy generation system receives a policy setting from a user interface and stores the policy setting in a user information record associated with a mobile data communication device. The redirection server detects the policy setting in the user information record and in response to detecting the policy setting transmits the policy setting over the wireless network to the mobile data communication device associated with the user information record. The mobile data communication device automatically modifies the device configuration to include the policy setting. Methods of controlling a configuration setting in mobile data communication devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved holder, system and method for implanting a tissue-type prosthetic heart mitral valve that constricts the commissure posts of the valve and allows the user to detach the handle of the holder prior to withdrawing the holder itself. The ability to remove the handle allows a surgeon greater access to suturing the prosthetic valve to the mitral annulus. The holder may include two relatively movable plates, one of which attaches to the valve sewing on the inflow end of the valve ring and the other which attaches via sutures to the valve commissures on the outflow end. Separation of the plates places the sutures in tension and constricts the commissures. An adjusting member or adapter is interposed between the handle and holder to enable separation of the two plates and removal of the handle. The adjusting member or adapter may be packaged with the valve and holder combination, or may be sold as a separate unit, possibly with the handle, so that prior art holders can be retrofit.

Title: Compact high-performance, high-density ink jet printhead
Inventor: DODD SIMON
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: A compact monochrome ink jet printhead (150) having a staggered high-density arrangement of ink drop generators (165) for high-performance printing. The present invention provides a high-performance design that enable high-resolution and high-speed printing while reducing cost due to an efficient use of printhead space. In particular, the compact, high-performance printhead (150) of the present invention includes several thermally-efficient aspects that allow a large number of ink drop generators (165) to be placed on a compact printhead (160) while minimizing problems such as thermal excursions.  In a preferred embodiment, the ink drop generator density on the compact printhead (160) exceeds 10 ink drop generators per square millimeter and the compact printhead (160) contains at least 350 nozzles. The ink drop generators (165) are arranged in at least four parallel rows. Each row is staggered (or offset) relative to an adjacent row to provide a greater effective pitch that a non-staggered arrangement. The ink drop generators (165) of the present invention include high resistance resistors (580) and a thin passivation (1034, 1036) to increase thermally efficiency. Further thermal control is achieved by ejecting low-weight ink drops from the thermally-efficient ink drop generators (165) at a high ejection frequency that exceeds 12 kHz.
