Title: Solid state deformation processing of crosslinked high molecular weight polymeric materials
Inventor: HAWKINS H GENE
IPC: B29C48/475
Filed: 2005-10-06
Abstract: Solid-state deformation processing of crosslinked high molecular weight polymers such as UHMWPE, for example by extrusion below the melt transition, produces materials with a combination of high tensile strength and high oxidative stability. The materials are especially suitable for use as bearing components in artificial hip and other implants. Treated bulk materials are anisotropic, with enhanced strength oriented along the axial direction. The material is oxidatively stable even after four weeks of accelerated aging in a pressure vessel containing five atmospheres of oxygen (ASTM F2003). Because of its oxidative stability, the deformation processed material is a suitable candidate for air-permeable packaging and gas sterilization, which has thus far been reserved for remelted crosslinked UHMWPE.

Abstract: A submersible motor having electrical-surge protection. The submersible motor includes a motor housing formed from an electrically-conductive material; a stator-winding assembly disposed within, and electrically insulated from the motor housing; a power wire for transmitting electrical energy delivered by an external power source to the stator-winding assembly within the housing; and an end ring formed from an electrically-conductive material. The submersible motor further includes a surge-protection assembly having a surge protector that includes two opposing electrode surfaces that are held a distance apart by an insulator and a coupling member formed from an electrically-insulating material. The coupling member abuts the power wire against the surge-protection assembly to establish an electrically-conductive path between the power wire and the surge-protection that is substantially devoid of wires.

Title: Continuous steel casting installation for billet and bloom formats
Inventor: ROEHRIG ADALBERT
IPC: B22D11/128
Filed: 2005-12-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous steel casting installation for billet and bloom formats that have a substantially rectangular cross-section. The aim of the invention is to improve the strand structure in the corner areas, to avoid rhomboidity, cracks and dimensional imperfections of the strand cross-section and to achieve a high throughput capacity per strand while reducing investment and running costs. For this purpose, the fillets of the groove curvatures (12, 12', 13, 13') in the die cavity amount to at least 10 %, preferably 15 % or more of the length of the side (16) of the strand cross-section. The degree of curvature 1/R of the groove curvatures (12, 12', 13, 13') decreases in the direction of the strand at least along a partial length of the entire casting die, thereby allowing to control a targeted gap elimination between the casting shell and the casting die wall or a targeted casting shell shaping in the area of the groove curvature. The continuous casting installation, directly downstream of the casting die, is provided with a strand support-free secondary cooling zone or a supporting guide in the secondary cooling zone that is reduced in its supporting width and/or supporting length.

Au niveau inférieur de l'Eolmat, est installé un poids et un bloqueur qui permet à l'invention de rester non seulement suspendu, mais également stable, même lors du déploiement du(des) drapeau(x). Par ce nouveau concept, il est démontré que la longueur du mât traditionnel peut alors être réduite et que l'Eolmat permet aussi une grande facilité d'accès au(x) drapeau(x) étendu(s). De par sa polyvalence et son avant-gardisme, l'Eolmat facilite l'exposition et la manipulation des drapeaux et des bannières.

Patent CA-2596825-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEURER MANFRED
IPC: C23C2/06
Filed: 2006-02-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a coated steel sheet or coil having a base layer which is composed of steel and to whose at least one top face is applied, by hot dip coating, a zinc coating. In the case of such steel sheets or steel coils, the zinc coating ensures a high level of corrosion resistance. The thicker the coating, the greater this resistance. Thus, in the case of a conventionally alloyed zinc coating, in a spraying test performed on a bright, uncoated sample in accordance with DIN 50021, red rust occurs after just 24 hours in the case of a coat add-on of 25 g/m2 , whereas with a coating add-on of 70 g/m2 red rust is formed only after 120 hours. The thickness of the coating that is needed in the prior art for sufficient corrosion resistance, however, brings problems with it in connection with weldability. This is the case in particular when laser welding at high welding speeds is to be used to produce a penetration weld in the lap joint without a minimum joining gap, of the kind required in particular in the field of the construction of car bodies or in the field of household engineering. The seam produced by such welding ought to be free from through-holes, to possess substantially no craters and to have no open pores.

Abstract: A detector 1 for detecting a current carrying conductor has a pair of vertically spaced antennae (3, 5) to detect the magnetic radiation produced by a current carrying conductor as a result of one or both of the mains power supply or an electromagnetic signal which is induced in the conductor by a dedicated signal transmitter. The detector (1) continuously calculates the depth of a buried conductor and if the buried conductor is above a predetermined minimum depth then the detector 1 triggers an audio and/or visual alarm. By reducing the sensitivity of the antennae (3, 5), the lateral offset range for which the alarm sounds is reduced and the location of a buried conductor can be determined.

Abstract: [A method product and apparatus are disclosed for calculating a transition monitor value for one or more dairy cows so as to direct dairy transition management practices toward optimizing its future value and thereby the health and productivity (i.e., the transition performance) of the one or more dairy cows . An expected milk production is calculated (300) for a given time period of a current lactation based both on the individual's performance in her previous lactation and on her current state. Transition monitor values are calculated (350, 500) as the difference between actual and expected milk production values. The transition monitor values can then be used (700) to evaluate and to optimize the health and productivity of both individuals and herds of individuals and to make comparisons of transition monitor programs both within and between herds.
