Abstract: An article including a panel-like structure constructed to be mounted in an automobile vehicle to form a part of the interior thereof, and a process for making the same. According to this process, an outer layer defining at least a portion of the exposed exterior surface of the structure is prepared by applying a water-dispersed thermoplastic polyurethane composition and a heat-activated reactive crosslinking monomer onto a mold surface and thereafter drying the composition. Next, a rapidly reacting composition is sprayed onto an inner surface of the outer layer while the outer layer is retained on the mold surface to form a polyurethane elastomer inner layer that is interfacially chemical bonded to the outer layer. The inner layer with the outer layer interfacially chemically bonded thereto is then united with the rigid substrate so that the rigid substrate serves to reinforce the outer layer. The exposed exterior surface of the panel-like structure simulates the appearance and feel of authentic leather, while the inner layer and an optional semi-rigid polyurethane cellular foam intermediate layer provide a compressing feel to the exposed portion of the outer layer.

Abstract: A portable device is disclosed which can deliver various combinations of scents in rapid succession directly to a user's nose. The device uses a blower fan (2) which forces air through a fragrance chamber (4). The flow into the chamber is regulated by an inlet valve (5) and an outlet valve (6). The valves (5,6) can be manually, electrically or pneumatically actuated. The valves (5,6) can be of an on/off or proportional flow type. The air carries away the scent molecules which have entered the gas phase. This air is then mixed with the air from all other fragrance holders in the packed bed mixer (11). The final mixture is delivered to the user via nasal tubing (20) and is emitted right below the wearer's nose. A mask covering the nose can be used to deliver the scent to the user. The scent is then drawn away from the nose and into a scent scrubber (38).

Abstract: Described herein is a multi-phase transverse flux machine, which comprises a stator with essentially U-shaped and I-shaped cores (1, 2) of a soft-magnetic material and respectively one stator winding (3) for each phase that generates a magnetic flux in these cores, as well as a rotor with circular magnetic return path (4). The phases of the stator are magnetically separated. The rotor contains electrically conductive material (5, 6) in each of the phases, wherein the electrically conductive material of at least two phases is arranged and is interconnected in the rotor, such that if an alternating current flows through the stator windings of these phases, a current generating a starting torque for the rotor is induced in the electrically conductive material. The at least two phases thus electrically form a rotating magnetic field machine in the rotor. The rotating magnetic field can be generated in that the stator windings of the at least two phases are admitted with currents that are phase-displaced relative to each other. However, it is also possible for the electrically connected rotor poles of the at least two phases and/or the stator poles assigned to these phases to be geometrically displaced relative to each other. The transverse flux machine thus exhibits the operational behavior of an asynchronous machine, so that it can be operated without permanent magnets.
