Abstract: A method of forming a bottle-shaped or other contoured metal container by subjecting a hollow metal preform having a closed end to internal fluid pressure to cause the preform to expand against the wall of a die cavity defining the desired shape, and advancing a punch into the die cavity to displace and deform the closed end of the preform after expansion begins but before it is complete. The pressure-subjecting step is performed by simultaneously subjecting the preform in the die cavity to independently controllable internal and external positive fluid pressures and varying the difference between them to control strain rate.

Abstract: A packet switched communications network comprises a controller ( 11 ) and a plurality of controlled units ( 12, 13, 14 ) arranged in a ring. Each of the controlled units comprises a switch ( 31 ) at its input, each switch including control means ( 44 ) that are responsive to control instructions transmitted by the controller ( 11 ). Depending on the instructions the switch ( 33 ) will either be configured to pass control instructions and data into or out of the controlled unit ( 12, 13, 14 ), or to forward the control instructions and data to a further controlled unit ( 12, 13, 14 ) that is connected to the controller ( 11 ) or back to the controller ( 11 ). In order for units in the ring, that are not registered with the controller ( 11 ), to acquire an address, the controller ( 11 ) transmits periodically broadcast packets, which contain a unique registration address to be used by an unregistered unit. Once registered, the unit can receive control instructions from the controller ( 11 ) as well as data.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a utility lighter having a housing, a nozzle, a lighter fluid reservoir, a conduit, an igniter assembly, a valve actuator, and a locking device. The housing has a top side, a bottom side, sides, a distal end, and a proximal end. The nozzle extends away from the distal end and has a nozzle tip. The lighter fluid reservoir is in the distal end. The conduit delivers the lighter fluid from the reservoir through the conduit to the nozzle tip. The igniter assembly generates a spark at a spark gap near the nozzle tip to ignite the lighter fluid, and has a piezoelectric component. The valve actuator is associated with the lighter fluid for selectively releasing the lighter fluid from the reservoir, and the igniter assembly. A compressor is connected to the valve actuator and when the valve actuator moves toward the nozzle tip, the valve actuator releases the lighter fuel and then sequentially activates the igniter assembly by having the compressor compress the piezoelectric component. The locking device diminishes the undesirable movement of the valve actuator.

Abstract: A method for producing a profiled bead made of a plastic, particularly of a polymer, on a piece, particularly on a window pane. In the method at least a partial portion of an edge region or lateral face region of a surface of the piece is brought into contact with a forming face. The plastic is deposited stuck to at least part of the periphery of a surface of the piece untouched by the forming face and the external dimensions of the profiled bead formed are also defined by the forming face. The forming face is pressed against the edge region or lateral face region of the fixed piece using a flat support, the shape of which can vary under the pressure of a fluid. This then gives a better matching of the forming face to the contour and to any dimensional discrepancies of the piece.

Abstract: A device and method to detect slow ventricular tachycardia, deliver anti-tachycardia pacing therapies, and delay a scheduled shock therapy if the ventricular tachycardia is not terminated or accelerated. Preferably, a shock therapy is delayed after verifying hemodynamic stability based on a hemodynamic sensor. After a shock is delayed, the device operates in a high alert mode for redetecting an accelerated tachycardia. Anti-tachycardia pacing therapies are repeated during the shock delay. A number of conditions can trigger delivery of the delayed shock therapy including a specified period of elapsed time; determination that the patient is likely to be asleep; detection of myocardial ischemia; detection of compromised hemodynamics, or detection of a substantially prone position or sudden change in position. A delayed shock therapy may be triggered by the patient and repeated delivery of painful shock therapies in patients that are not seriously compromised by a recurring, slow ventricular tachycardia is avoided.
