Patent EP-1344593-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YEO CHEE TIAN
IPC: B22F3/10
Filed: 2003-03-10
Abstract: Although MIM (metal injection molding) has received widespread application,
aluminum has not been widely used for MIM in the prior art because of the tough
oxide layer that grows on aluminum particles, thus preventing metal-metal
bonding between the particles. The present invention solves this problem by
adding a small amount of material that forms a eutectic mixture with aluminum
oxide, and therefore aids sintering, to reduce the oxide, thereby allowing intimate
contact between aluminum surfaces. The process includes the ability to mold and
then sinter the feedstock into the form of compacted items of intricate shapes,
small sizes (if needed), and densities of about 95% of bulk.

Abstract: A hot-water supply system comprises a hot-water generating unit
(1a) of heat-pump cycle driven by an electric motor and a hot-water
storing tank (7), wherein the hot-water generating unit (1a) is
generally operated during night hours because the electricity rate
is lower than that during the day time. The system also has a solar
battery unit (16) and the hot-water generating unit is operated
by the electric power from this solar battery unit (16) when the
electric power of this solar battery unit (16) is higher than a
predetermined value, so that hot water is frequently generated by
the hot-water generating unit (1a) by using the electric power from
the solar battery unit (16). Accordingly, it is avoidable that the
hot-water generating unit (1a) is operated by the electric power
of normal electricity rate during the day time, which is higher

IPC: F16L3/22
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: An assembly for storing elongated members (310), the assembly comprising an elongated
support element (308) and a pair of segments (302). The segments are disposed on opposite
sides of the elongated support element (308) from each other, and each of the segments
defines a cradle for supporting an elongated member. The pair of segments is joined together
at a seam (322) formed by locally heating and melting contacting edges of the segments to
fuse them together. Moreover, the pair of segments (302) is fixed to the elongated support
element against movement in a longitudinal direction of the elongated support element (308).
The elongated support element has a textured region (318) of raised protrusions, indentations,
or holes, over at least a portion of the surface thereof. Each cradle comprises a center portion
located longitudinally between a pair of inclined portions. When an elongated member is
supported in the cradle, the center portion of the cradle is convex about an axis parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the elongated support element, such that water will drain laterally off of
the cradle.

Abstract: A deterioration detector, for a pulse detector with which a transmission signal from a transmitting element suffers changes due to the blood stream and the vascular wall to be received in the form of a reflected signal and the resultant reflected signal is processed to obtain a pulse signal, includes a second transmitting element and a second receiving element. 
A second transmitting element and a second receiving element are disposed in a deterioration detector so that when a pulse detector having a pulse sensor device constituted by a first transmitting element and a first receiving element is installed in the deterioration detector, the first transmitting element and the second receiving element face each other and the first receiving element and the second transmitting element face each other. A level of a received output signal of the second receiving element when the first transmitting element is driven is compared with a threshold value to thereby allow the progress of deterioration of the first transmitting element to be quantitatively detected. Moreover, data history of the deterioration detector is remotely managed to allow a deterioration detecting system for estimating failure time to be constructed.
