Abstract: The invention provides a process for high stress spinning of polyethylene terephthalate yarns to produce a yarn of improved mechanical properties. The process of the invention is conducted by spinning polyethylene terephthalate polymer through a spinneret having a plurality of rows of orifices wherein at least one row of orifices is larger than adjacent row of orifices. The yarn is quenched by contacting filaments issuing from the larger orifice with a quench medium prior to contacting of the yarn issuing from the orifices of smaller size. Thereafter, the yarn is drawn at a draw ratio which is at least about 85% of the maximum draw ratio of the yarn. A yarn having improved strength and/or a reduced fray levels is produced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method of the present invention makes use of an all-automated and all hands-free, flushing module (22) with the capability of performing an internal cleansing of internally soiled components of a patient support apparatus configured for one or more of the care, maintenance or treatment of a patient. The system is configured with at least one bay to receive a patient support apparatus to be cleaned. The system is designed so that additional bays can be used to clean two or three patient support apparatus at one time. The system includes hoses supplying liquid into the bed's internal surfaces that come into contact with substances associated with one or more of the care, maintenance and/or treatment of a patient on the patient support apparatus. The system automatically goes through a flush cycle, a wash cycle and a rinse cycle. The system has extra compartments for jug washing. The system takes predetermined counts of bactericides or all of the cleansing agents, mixes them with tap water, uses the mixed liquids for washing or rinsing, and then the liquids used for washing or rinsing are disposed into the sewer system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for determining the lithogenesis activity rate and the urina lithogenetic salts content in urolithiasis consists in that an aqueous solution of protein at the ratio of 9:1, 7:1 or 5:1, respectively, is introduced in the urina probe, the obtained mixture is applied in the form of a drop on an even surface and dried during at least 24 hours, then the character of crystallization of the salts at the edge zone of the probe is determined and, depending on the presence of single crystals, of their conglomerates or full crystallization of that zone, a judgement of a weak, average or pronounced lithogenesis activity rate is made and the content of these crystal formations is determined with simultaneous determination of the salt content in the central zone of the probe and with subsequent comparative analysis of these contents for determination of the urina lithogenetic salts content.

Abstract: Lift truck accessories for stacking and moving stacks of tires are disclosed. The tire-stacking device includes an elongated platform upon which a plurality of tires may be placed side by side when the device is in its horizontal position. The tire-stacking device can be raised by the lifting apparatus of a lift truck from its horizontal position to a vertical position. When in its vertical position, the stack of tires is supported by a clamping arrangement that is attached to the base end of the tire-stacking device. A second embodiment of the invention is a tire transporter that is always maintained in a vertical position but includes a clamping arrangement which is similar to the tire-stacking device. The tire transporter is relatively shorter than the kite-stacking device and enables a lift truck operator to move stacks of tires through low-clearance areas such as under doorways as well as into and out of trucks.

La tension appliquée dans l'actionneur à parois latérales (34) est ensuite abaissée à une deuxième tension inférieure à la tension de repos de manière à défléchir l'actionneur à parois latérales de la première position pour le mettre dans une deuxième position, en passant par la position de repos, et à le maintenir au niveau de la deuxième tension pendant une deuxième période. La tension appliquée dans l'actionneur à parois latérales (34) est ensuite ramenée à la tension de repos (54) de sorte que l'actionneur (34) soit défléchi et revienne en position de repos. Les première et deuxième périodes sont choisies l'une par rapport à l'autre de manière à sélectionner un volume de goutte pour l'encre éjectée du canal d'encre. La tension appliquée dans l'actionneur à parois latérales est ensuite ramenée à la tension de repos, ce qui provoque l'éjection d'une goutte d'encre présentant le volume sélectionné.

Abstract: A stereolithography method and system for producing three-dimensional plastic objects by forming a plurality of thin layers of partially cured plastic material which are thin cross sections of the desired object. A layer of polymerizable resin is applied to a support surface and the excess is struck off, such as with a doctor blade, to form a smoothed layer. The smoothed layer is subjected to radiation in a predetermined pattern to form the cross-sectional layer into the desired shape. A plurality of layers are subsequently applied, leveled, then cured in the same manner to produce the desired three-dimensional object. Apparatus for measuring the level of the surface of a fluid is also provided. Variations in the level of fluid will be detected and may be used to drive a pump, diaphragm, or plunger in order to maintain the level of the fluid.
