Abstract: Methods for making, methods for using and articles having cermets, preferably cemented carbides and more preferably tungsten carbide, having at least two regions exhibiting at least one property that differs are discussed. Preferably, the cermets further exhibit a portion that is binder rich and which gradually or smoothly transitions to at least a second region. The multiple-region cermets are particularly useful in compressively loaded application wherein a tensile stress or fatigue limit might otherwise be excessive for monolithic articles. The cermets are manufactured by juxtaposing and densifying at least two powder blends having different properties (e.g., differential carbide grain size, differential carbide chemistry, differential binder content, differential binder chemistry, or any combination of the preceding). Preferably, a first region of the cermet has a first ceramic component and a prescribed binder content and a second region, juxtaposing or adjoining the first region, of the cermet has a second ceramic component and a second binder content less than the prescribed binder content. The multiple region cermets of the present invention may be used in materials processing technology including, for example, compression technology, extrusion, supercritical processing, chemical processing, materials processing, and ultrahigh pressure.

Abstract: Sulfur oxides (SOx) are scrubbed from combustion effluents with aqueous limestone slurries with greater efficiency due to the use of an improved entrainment separator (130). In the preferred embodiment of a single-loop, counter-current limestone wet scrubber (100) (preferably with a spray-contacting zone of less than 6 meters in height) operating at bulk gas flow rates of greater than 4.5 meters per second, a vertical stream of flue gas is freed of a substantial portion of slurry droplets and diverted for effective mist removal by a well-drained, horizontal-flow mist eliminator (140). The entrainment separator (130) is a single-pass device with individual blades aligned for effective operation with reduced droplet impingement on the upper walls (e.g., roof) of the scrubber and to permit periodic washing. Use of a vertically-oriented, horizontal-shaft rotary heat exchanger (431) is facilitated and space and duct work requirements are greatly reduced.

Abstract: A fluid transfer device comprising a hollow piercing element having a first end for receiving a standard syringe nose or other similar medical device and a second end having a tapered tip for accessing fluid inside a medication container is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the device has a disk-shaped stop for limiting entry of the piercing element into the vial. Preferably, the piercing element includes outwardly extending barbs which allow the device to be inserted into a vial but which prevent the device from being removed from the vial after insertion. After the syringe is disengaged from the device, the device and spent medication vial may be discarded as a unit. Alternatively, the device can remain attached to the vial, and a new syringe can be used to withdraw additional fluid from the vial when desired. In an alternate embodiment, a reusable, resealable valve is connected to the first end of the piercing element, which valve allows multiple syringes to be used with the piercing element. Various adaptors for using the device with intravascular (IV) lines and drip-bags are also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Inner bladder 14 has an interior cavity 22 and an access opening 24 to receive an article sealed by a closure 26. The inner bladder 14 is disposed within the interior cavity 16 of the outer container 12. The pressure vessel 10 is characterized by the outer container 12 being a flexible, air permeable and liquid permeable containment envelope. The closure 20 of the outer container remains sealed and the containment envelope 12 remains dimensionally stable at a maximum intended pressure differential. The inner bladder 14 is flexible, air tight, liquid impervious, and separate from the outer containment envelope 12. The access opening 24 of the inner bladder 14 is sealed by an air impervious closure 26. The inner bladder 14 is disposed within the interior cavity 16 of the containment envelope 12 in an unexpanded state. The inner bladder 14 in a fully expanded condition outside of the containment envelope 12 is larger than the interior cavity 16 of the containment envelope 12. When the inner bladder 14 is positioned within the interior cavity 16 of the containment envelope 12 with internal pressure exceeding external pressure thereby creating a pressure differential, the internal pressure acts upon the inner bladder 14 to place the inner bladder 14 in compression within the interior cavity 16 of the containment envelope 12 while placing the containment envelope 12 in tension. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of estimating the channel impulse response (CIR) of a communication system is disclosed. The method comprises providing a first estimation of the CIR by an impulse response calculation, using correlation of signals to determine tap weights for the calculation, thereby providing a set of amplitude values within equally time spaced bins. The true path delay of a radio channel represented by the significant peaks in the first estimation is determined, by reference to amplitude values of those of the bins which surround the bin having the greatest amplitude. A refined estimation of the CIR is calculated using the significant peaks, such that these peaks represent substantially all the energy represented by the first estimation of CIR.
