Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de formation du corps de couvercle d'un sac gonflable, qui comprend des moules de formage (2A, 2B), des lames de formage de rainures (3), et des tiges porteuses (4). Les moules de formage produisent une cavité (20) conçue pour créer un corps (1) de couvercle de sac gonflable ayant des parties portes de sac gonflable, les lames de formage de rainures établissent des rainures de rupture (11) déterminant les parties portes dans le corps de couvercle du sac gonflable, et les tiges porteuses soutiennent lesdites parties portes formées dans la cavité. Les moules de formage comprennent des noyaux (21a, 21b) mobiles en va-et-vient entre une position où les moules peuvent jouxter le corps de couvercle du sac gonflable et une position où les moules sont séparés des parties portes dudit corps. Ainsi, lorsque les noyaux sont séparés des parties portes du sac gonflable, les tiges porteuses peuvent jouxter ces parties de manière à empêcher une concentration de contrainte excessive de se produire au niveau des rainures de rupture.

Abstract: A wrist splint assembly for being custom-fitted to a hand and wrist to be supported. The wrist splint assembly includes a first splint for being positioned against and formed to the volar aspect of the hand and wrist, and a second splint for being positioned against and formed to the dorsal aspect of the hand and wrist. Each of the first and second splints defines a concave side edge extending inwardly toward the longitudinal axis of the splint for permitting ease of movement of the thumb and associated carpometacarpal joint of the hand against which the splint is positioned. Each splint also includes an inner cushion layer, an initially flexible intermediate layer overlying the inner cushion layer, and a flexible outer layer. The intermediate layer is a substrate impregnated with a moisture-curable resin that hardens upon curing to form a rigid structure of the substrate that retains a shape into which it is molded during curing for maintaining the flexible inner cushion layer in a conforming shape against the hand and wrist. A support retains the first and second splints in position on the hand and wrist during use of the splint assembly.

Abstract: An electrochemical-based sensor includes an electrode with at least one electrode surface, a film disposed on the electrode surface, and a dialysis membrane disposed on the film. The film includes a redox enzyme and a hydrophilic redox polymer (i.e., a polymer with an attached redox mediator(s)).

Abstract: An apparatus and related methods for capturing a digital foot print image of a tire and for extrapolating load-deflection curves of the tire is presented. A frame carries a test pod that is coupled to a tire to perform various tests. In one application, a loading plate couples the tire to a transparent plate on the test pod where a camera captures a digital gray-scale image of the tire foot print. A processor converts the gray- scale image into a pressure map wherein each pixel of the digital image is correlated to a pressure value. In another application, the loading plate couples the tire to a sliding cover plate on the test pod, wherein the loading plate is incremented through a plurality of load values at predetermined inflation pressures. By using two inflation pressures, the processor extrapolates further load-deflection curves for the tire at other inflation pressures. The apparatus also provides a unique way for imparting camber on the tire during the above tests. The data collected from the foot print image and load- deflection curves may be used to analyze the construction, operation, noise generation characteristics and performance of the tire.

Title: Paging mobile stations in a hybrid network
Inventor: JULKA VIBHOR
IPC: H04W88/12
Filed: 2005-07-26
Granted: 2014-09-09
Abstract: A paging procedure implemented by a base station avoids transmission of unnecessary page messages. In a first embodiment, a first base station is notified by a mobile switching center when a paging request is sent to a mobile station, but stores a paging parameter in memory. When the first base station receives a page response message from the mobile station, it correlates the unsolicited page response message with a paged mobile list to determine a corresponding paging parameter, and forwards the page response message with the stored paging parameter to the mobile switching center. In a second embodiment, the first base station pages the mobile station and then sends an immediate paging response to the mobile switching center without waiting for a page response from the mobile station to terminate the paging procedure at the mobile switching center.
