Abstract: A system for monitoring concentrations of sterilant, such as hydrogen peroxide vapor, within a sterilization apparatus, includes a self-contained, sterilant monitoring assembly that is freely positionable within the sterilization apparatus. The assembly includes a gas-detecting sensor and associated temperature sensor mounted on a portable structure, as well as a suitable data collection circuit for receiving output signals from the sensors. The assembly also includes signals connectors, such as a physical data port or a remote transmitter, or both. Signals can be transmitted concurrently with data collection, or an electronic memory may be provided for subsequent transfer of the collected data. Collected data is transferred to a remote communication unit positioned exteriorly of the sterilization apparatus. The collected data is processed by a processor, which is either provided as part of the monitoring assembly or provided remotely as part of the monitoring system as a whole, to identify the corresponding detected sterilant levels. The assembly is operated by a power source, which can be activated manually, by preprogrammed relays, or remotely by a control system capable of receiving control signals via near infrared or radio wave transmissions. A carrier element is provided to carry the sterilant monitoring assembly along the conveyor path of the sterilization apparatus and, thus, collect data at each sterilization station.

Abstract: Even if ozone and hydrogen peroxide solution are
simply mixed with water to be treated to perform oxidative
destruction of harmful substances, such as dioxins, PCB and
the like, it is difficult to decompose the harmful
substances, with desired decomposing effects. It is an
object of the present invention to provide an advanced
water treatment process and system which are based on ozone
treatment capable of providing more reliable treatment
effects. 
     To attain the above object, according to the present
invention, ozone treatment is carried out in which minute
bubbles of ozone having an average particle diameter of 0.5
to 3 µm are brought into contact with water to be treated,
which contains the harmful substances, such as dioxins and
PCB. By carrying out a desired combination of the ozone
treatment as an essential treatment, and a hydrogen
peroxide treatment, an ultraviolet radiation treatment, an
electrolysis treatment, and a carbonized filter medium
treatment, it is possible to realize enhanced effectiveness
of the water treatment.

Title: A method and integrated circuit arranged for feeding a test forcing pattern on a single shared pin of the circuit
Inventor: MELI LOUIS M
IPC: G01R31/317
Filed: 2000-11-09
Abstract: An integrated circuit is forced into a test mode through executing the following steps: presenting a test forcing pattern on a subset of the circuit's external pins for driving the circuit to a test mode, presenting the electronic test forcing pattern to the circuit and finally executing the test proper. In particular, the following steps are implemented: presenting the pattern on a single pin in the form of an aggregate of a clocking sequence and a transition signalling data sequence as input data for an on-circuit storage element; clocking the storage element by a delayed version of the test forcing pattern; sequentially storing successive data parts of the test forcing pattern under control of successive clock parts of the delayed test forcing pattern; matching a predetermined string of the stored data parts versus a standard pattern, and upon finding a match driving the circuit to a test condition for then executing a test procedure.

Abstract: The invention uses rapid heating to effect a material property change in a biomaterial. The biomaterial is heated to a predetermined real temperature, whereas the biomaterial's total thermal treatment is described by an equivalent temperature and an equivalent time defining a point above a minimum gel set temperature line, above a reduction in bacteria line, below a water loss line, and below a maximum gel set temperature line. According to one aspect of the invention, the biomaterial is heated by exposing the biomaterial to a relatively uniform electric field. The material is heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time in order to achieve a food product characterized by a preselected refrigerated shelf life of from about two weeks to about forty-two weeks. The food product may be packaged prior to the microwave exposure so as to sterilize the packaging and decrease product loss. According to another aspect of the invention, the material is heated to a predetermined real temperature T1 from time A to time B and a real temperature T2 from time B to time C. According to another aspect of the invention, the material is heated to a predetermined real temperature from time A to time B to attain a material property at shear stress level S1 and heated to a predetermined real temperature from time B to time C to attain at least one additional material property at shear stress level S2. According to another aspect of the invention, the material is moved at a predetermined rate R1 from time A to time B and a predetermined rate R2 from time B to time C. The material is preferably stationary (i.e. R2 = 0) from time B to time C. According to another aspect of the invention, multiple microwave cavities are used to effect the material property change in the biomaterial. The material is passed through a second microwave cavity that is sequentially arranged or concurrently arranged with the first microwave cavity.

Abstract: A metal piercing fastener for securing a light gauge sheet metal layer to metal/non-metal substrate layer(s) includes an elongated metal body having a crown at one end a sharpened and hardened tip at the other end defining a rigid metal penetrating region. The crown receives an impact blow from a tool for driving the rigid metal penetrating tip region in the substrates to be fastened. The metal body is equipped with one or more resilient tines each twisted at the base around its longitudinal axis and which can be integral or coupled to the metal body to optimize the gripping and clamping capability of the metal piercing fastener. The resilient tine may be equipped with protruding gripping and clamping elements on each side or with ribs on one of its outer surfaces to provide spring action gripping and clamping capability during fastening. The resilient tine is capable of deflection to conform to the physical constraints of the pierced substrate opening when passing through the pierced opening. The resilient tine is also capable of returning to its factory preset state of orientation when no longer constrained within the pierced substrate opening so as to grip and clamp the substrate layers being fastened between itself and the crown of the fastener.
