Abstract: For many applications the surfaces (6) of rock wool products (1) need to be coated, particularly when used as plaster faced insulating board or as roof insulating board. With industrial scale manufacture difficulties arise in applying the coating (8) in such a way that the open surface structure of the rock wool material remains intact. The invention provides that the aqueous coating material is foamed and, as a foam layer, can be gently and easily pressed into the surface (6) of the rock wool product (1). In the course of drying the foam breaks down and exposes the open surface structure of the rock wool product. The coating material contains as its base component siliceous sol, with a dispersed synthetic resin added to reduce the brittleness of the finished coating, a foaming agent and a foam stabilizer to yield a spreadable foam. A flame proofing agent can be added as needed. Such a coating material can also be used for renovating worn surfaces of rock wool products, for example those subject to erosion.

Abstract: An insulated lattice is prepared with a plurality of lattice oriented atoms to create a substantially planar surface having a lattice arrangement. Any unsatisfied chemical bonds are terminated along the substantially planar surface by placing atoms at the site of the unsatisfied chemical bonds to terminate the unsatisfied chemical bonds and insulate the surface to form an insulated lattice platform. Atoms are placed at predetermined locations on the insulated lattice platform to form a first atomic chain which behaves as one of a conductor, a semiconductor and an insulator. A second chain of atoms is also placed at predetermined locations on the insulated lattice platform so that the second chain behaves as another of a conductor, a semiconductor and an insulator. These placements are made such that the second chain of atoms is electrically coupled to the first chain of atoms, and the second chain of atoms behaves differently than the first chain of atoms. That is, in the first chain the atoms are placed at a first separation distance and in the second chain the atoms are placed at a second separation distance, where the second separation distance is different than the first.

Abstract: An integrated half-bridge driver circuit for driving a half-bridge output stage having high-side and low-side power transistors coupled together at a high-voltage output terminal includes a low-voltage control circuit and a floating well within the integrated circuit which has a timing circuit for controlling the activation of the high-side power transistor. The driver circuit further includes a high-voltage interface circuit for coupling a control signal from the low-voltage control circuit to the timing circuit within the floating well. In this manner, an integrated half-bridge driver circuit is obtained which is capable of operating at high frequencies due to the relatively low power dissipation in the control and timing circuitry.

Abstract: Blood is circulated through a multiple lumen catheter which connects between a vein of a patient and the blood treatment device. The catheter and the lumens thereof each define distal ends which are positioned within the vein. By this invention, one withdraws blood from the vein through one of the lumens at a flow rate of at least about 200 ml./min. while also inserting blood into the vein through another of said lumens at a similar flow rate. The distal ends of the lumens are longitudinally spaced from each other by no more than about 5 mm. It has been found that the following advantages can be achieved by this method: less clot formation coupled with low direct blood recirculation and longer catheter survival. Also, the catheter of this invention works well in either direction of blood flow through the respective lumens.

Abstract: A new and improved clinical critical care path system, which can be tailored readily for a given patient diagnosis for either single or combined medical and/or surgical diagnoses. The clinical information system stores critical care information for various patient diagnoses and retrieves them for a given patient. Treatment information is tailored to a given patient by enabling selected treatment information to be edited. Where multiple diagnoses are present, the prescribed or ordered treatment plans for each diagnosis are merged for a given patient, and potential conflicts are determined for any ordered activity. Upon determination of a conflict, patient treatment information is repeated on separate display lines to alert the healthcare provider to permit the healthcare provider to analyze the conflict and to determine what order or orders should be entered. Customized multiple diagnosis treatment information can then be entered and stored for a given patient.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for use in raising cattle, and in particular bulls, wherein bulls are: (a) fed a particularly nutritious liquid having a distinctive odor prior to weaning; (b) fed a combination of this liquid and conventional feed after weaning in a feedlot; (c) castrated using a ligation tool that provides a ligating tension to endless elastomeric ligation bands wherein the tool indicates the tension applied to such ligation bands; and (d) treated for infection prevention at least around the time of castration. Accordingly, cattle growth is accelerated due to enhanced nutrition, reduction in disease and a reduction in the stress upon the cattle. Furthermore, late castration of bulls (at approximately 5 to 14 months) is employed, wherein the tool of (c) provides a substantially stress-free ligation technique. Moreover, the meat produced from the cattle processed using the present invention has superior cutability characteristics.

Abstract: Convoluted tubing of thermoplastic resin is made by extruding the resin as a molten tubular extrudate, feeding said extrudate into the interior of a rotating tubular member which has a helical thread in the interior of said member, the spiral thread having a deformation zone receiving the extrudate and a cooling zone downstream from the deformation zone. A vacuum can be used to force the extrudate against the spiral thread in the deformation zone to spirally convolute the extrudate. The rotation of the tubular member causes the resultant convoluted tubing to engage the spiral thread in the cooling zone for conveyance through such zone. Apparatus comprising the rotating tubular member with the interior thread for forming the convoluted tubing is provided.
