Title: Method of recycling metallic coated scrap pieces
Inventor: SCHRAVEN PATRIK
IPC: F27D3/14
Filed: 2002-04-16
Granted: 2009-06-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of recycling metallic coated scrap pieces of which the liquidus temperature of the coating layer is lower than the solidus temperature of the core layer, such as brazing sheet scrap pieces, or metallic coated scrap pieces of which the upper part of the melting range of the coating layer has an overlap with the lower part of the melting range of the core layer, by at least partially removing the coating layer from the core layer of said scrap pieces making use of a heat resistant metallurgical vessel having an opening for introducing the scrap pieces into the vessel and exit means for discharging essentially molten alloy, the vessel being rotatable around an axis of rotation, the method comprising the sequential steps of : -filling the vesssel with a load of scrap pieces ; - supplying an amount of energy to the vessel such that essentially all the scrap pieces reach a temperature above the solidus temperature of the coating layer ;- rotating the vessel during and/or after the supplying of the amount of energy for forming essentially molten alloy ; - removing the essentially molten alloy, having the composition of the coating layer of the scrap pieces mixed with small amounts fo the core layer, through the exit means of the vessel ; - removing the remainder of the load from the vessel.

Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: A system for sensing respiratory pressure includes a portable pressure transducer (50) configured to be carried by or proximate to a respiratory conduit, such as a breathing circuit or a nasal canula. The portable pressure transducer (50) may removably couple with a pneumotach (20), in the form of an airway adapter, disposed along the respiratory conduit. The pneumotach may include two pressure ports (24, 34) positioned at opposite sides of an obstruction, which partially blocks flow through a primary conduit of the pneumotach (20). Corresponding sample conduits (55, 56) of the portable pressure transducer (50) removably couple with the pressure ports (24, 34).  The pressure ports (24, 34) may have sealing elements which are configured to seal against piercing members of the sample conduits (55, 65) upon introduction of the piercing members therethrough. Upon removal of the piercing members, the sealing elements substantially reseal. Methods for using the system are also disclosed.

Abstract: The walker consists in replacing crutches for a person who has a fractured or injured foot. It ensures more comfort for moving around and performing daily activities. Indeed, the adjustable walker is used to move around upright, while leaning on one knee without the foot touching the ground. The apparatus moves following the knee and using a handle, somewhat like using a cane. The device features four stable, adjustable legs which allow the walker to stand without having to hold it. Moreover, it is very safe and more efficient than crutches for going up and down stairs. While the person is standing still, the walker can be used to lean the knee and thus provides better balance. With both hands free, the person is more functional and freer to move about. When the person is seated, the walker may also be used as a stool for the injured foot. The walker has adjustable mechanisms, which allows it to be used either for the right or left leg, and for users of different heights.

Title: Internal combustion engine
Inventor: KARNES MARK D
IPC: F02B53/00
Filed: 2003-01-08
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: An internal combustion engine (10) that has a torque wheel (12) mounted for rotation within the central cavity defined by the housing and driving a crankshaft (14). The torque wheel (12) has a plurality of arms in a spaced arrangement about the center of the torque wheel (12), thereby defining a plurality of corresponding volumes between the respective arms. A plurality of substantially identical combustion gates (20, 22, 24) are positioned within these corresponding volumes, each combustion gate being mounted for rotation within a respective volume about a pivot pin. Rotation of the combustion gates (20, 22, 24) about the respective pivot pins (40, 42, 44) and resultant inward and outward movement of the combustion gates (20, 22, 24) relative to the center of the torque wheel (12) achieves a four-stroke combustion cycle.

Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A switch interlock apparatus for use with switch panels that have pairs of functionally related switches, in which the handles for the switches are mounted in tandem and aligned with their pivot axes parallel to and spaced apart from one another, in which one of the switches must be flipped, before the other switch can be flipped. The switch interlock apparatus mechanically connects the handles of two functionally related switches so that as one switch moves from an "OFF" to an "ON" position, the interlock constrains the handle of the related paired switch to move from "ON" to "OFF" first. In a preferred embodiment, the switch interlock apparatus incorporates a monolithically formed interlock member that can be directly mounted to a switch panel without intermediate assembly steps.
