Patent CA-2564971-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREBE MAIK
IPC: B22F3/105
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the bonding of material to give three-dimensional objects, by means of selective heating using electromagnetic energy (5), which is either non-coherent and/or non-monochromatic and/or non-directed at a wavelength of 100 nm to 1 mm. The radiation can be emitted in a point or linear form or else planar. Several radiation sources can also be combined to improve the rapidity of the method.  The selectivity of the fusion is achieved by the application of an absorber (4) to defined partial regions of a layer of powder substrate (2) and subsequent heating of the absorber by means of electromagnetic energy (5) with a wavelength of 100nm to 1 mm. The heated absorber (4) releases the energy therein to the surrounding powder substrate which is then fused and bonded together after the subsequent cooling. The method is significantly more flexible, economic and rapid than conventional laser sintering.

Abstract: Tilting Bowl Toilet comprises a frame, a toilet basin, and a tilting bowl. The tilting bowl is supported below the toilet basin as a movable water/waste container. in its standby horizontal position, the tilting bowl receives and holds water/waste delivered to it through the toilet basin. when the tilting bowl tilts, it discharges its content to drainage pipe through a bottom discharge hole; simultaneously allowing water/waste to discharge from basin to drainage. The tilting bowl at standby is sustained to stay in a horizontal position by forces applied to the tilting bowl creating a resultant sustaining turning moment about its support axis. When the turning moment produced by the tilting bowl with its content becomes larger than the sustaining turning moment, the tilting bowl moves to a tilted position and discharge its content. The support axis moves simultaneously as guided by a motion guide.
