Title: Releasable, repeatable electrical connection employing compression
Inventor: ZAMORA GEORGE G
IPC: G06F1/18
Filed: 2001-12-29
Granted: 2007-07-17
Abstract: An electrical connection of a transfer station (100) releasably, repeatably electrically couples with respect to a matching connection of a portable cartridge (40). A substrate (50) in the portable cartridge has electrical contacts (51) on a facing surface. In the transfer station, a matching circuitized flexible substrate (136) has electrical contacts (141) on a faci ng surface thereof, which are arranged to match the portable cartridge electric al contacts when in a face-to-face relationship. An elastomeric compression element (132), at the rear of the matching substrate, has individual protruding compression members contacting the rear surface and registered wi th corresponding individual electrical contacts. Elongated electrical contacts are registered with two adjacent individual compression members. A loader engages the portable cartridge, registering the cartridge substrate contacts in face-to-face relation with the matching flexible substrate electrical contacts, and exerting a normal force to the cartridge to compress the compression element and create non-wiping contact between the facing electrical contacts.

Abstract: The preservation of meat products is accomplished utilizing a combination of smoke, ozone and freezing preservation techniques. Particularly, fish products are sized into portions that are first treated with smoke, followed by treatment with ozone and then optionally frozen. The preservation system extends the shelf life of the fish products and permits the fish to maintain its freshness and freedom from bacterial decomposition for a longer period of time following catch. The preservation process further maintains the characteristics of day caught fish, such as taste, texture and color, making the refreshed fish products produced by the present system more appealing to consumers.

Title: Triple-phase nano-composite steels
Inventor: KUSINSKI GRZEGORZ J
IPC: C22C38/02
Filed: 2002-12-12
Granted: 2011-04-26
Abstract: Carbon steels of high performance are disclosed that contain a three-phase microstructure consisting of grains of ferrite (11) fused with grains that contain dislocated lath structures in which laths of martensite (13) alternate with thin films of austenite (14). The structure includes the ferrite grains (11) fused with martensite-austenite grains (12), and each of the martensite-austenite grains (12) is of the dislocated lath structure, with substantially parallel laths (13) consisting of grains of martensite-phase crystals, the laths separated by thin films (14) of retained austenite phase. The microstructure can be formed by a unique method of austenization followed by multi-phase cooling in a manner that avoids bainite and pearlite formation and precipitation at phase interfaces. The desired microstructure can be obtained by casting, heat treatment, on-line rolling, forging, and other common metallurgical processing procedures, and yields superior combinations of mechanical and corrosion properties.

Title: An improved fluidized bed apparatus for molten iron production and method using the same
Inventor: SHIN MYOUNG-KYUN
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 2003-12-23
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing molten iron. The method for manufacturing molten iron includes producing mixtures by drying and mixing iron ores and additives; passing the mixtures through one or more successively-connected fluidized beds so that the mixtures are reduced and calcined to be converted into the reduced materials; forming a coal packed bed, which is a heat source for melting the reduced materials; charging the reduced materials to the coal packed bed and supplying oxygen to the coal-packed bed to manufacture molten iron; and supplying reducing gas exhausted from the coal-packed bed to the fluidized bed, wherein in the conversion of the mixtures to reduced materials, oxygen is directly supplied to and combusted in an area where reducing gas flows to the fluidized bed. The apparatus for manufacturing molten iron of the present invention uses this method for manufacturing molten iron. Through use of the present invention, the reducing gas passing through the fluidized beds may be improved, and cohesion of the iron-containing fine ores may be prevented.

Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for charging batteries includes using an input rectifier to receive an ac input and provide a dc signal. A converter receives the dc signal and provides a converter output. An output circuit receives the converter output and provides a battery charging signal. A controller preferably controls the converter to power factor correct. The system can include multiple output circuits, used either singly or at the same time, and designed for one or more voltages. They can be user removable. Preferably, the converter output has a magnitude independent of a range of frequencies and a range of magnitudes of the ac input, and the range can be, for example, at least a factor of two or at least two utility voltages. The controller includes a charging schedule module that receives feedback, such as voltage and/or current feedback and/or temperature feedback. The output circuit, such as a dc- dc converter, is controlled in response to the feedback in other embodiments. The battery type may be sensed or input by a user, and the charging done in response to the battery type. A defective battery sensor is preferably included, with a user-noticeable indicator.
