Title: Appareil de dielectrophorese a onde progressive et procede correspondant
Inventor: PETHIG RONALD
IPC: B01D57/02
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de diélectrophorèse à onde progressive appliqué à une suspension de particules dans laquelle on applique un premier signal ayant une première fréquence et plusieurs phases différentes pour générer une force TWD (diélectrophorèse à onde progressive) alors qu'un deuxième signal est appliqué simultanément à une deuxième fréquence qui modifie la partie réelle ou imaginaire de la force de diélectrophorèse à la première fréquence. Le deuxième signal modifie essentiellement la hauteur de lévitation des particules au-dessus du plan d'électrode et, partant, la gamme de fréquences dans laquelle a lieu la diélectrophorèse à onde progressive. Ce procédé peut s'utiliser pour remplacer l'électrorotation en tant que moyen pour caractériser les propriétés diélectriques d'une particule. Lorsqu'il existe deux types de particules, la vitesse de déplacement de la particule peut être modifiée en sorte qu'un type se déplace et l'autre ne se déplace pas ou que les différents types se déplacent à des vitesses différentes ou dans des directions opposées, et ce pour aider la séparation des particules.

Title: Inflatable fabrics comprising basket-woven attachment points between fabric panels
Inventor: SOLLARS JOHN A JR
IPC: D03D11/00
Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: All-woven inflatable fabrics (10) which comprise areas (14) of two layers and attachment points or "seams" (16) where single layers of fabric are formed. Such single fabric layers are constructed solely through the utilization of basket weave patterns. These specific single fabric layers provide a relatively effective manner of reducing air permeability within the entire fabric article by decreasing the possibility of yarn shifting upon inflation.  Alternatively, the presence of at least a second single fabric layer area (22) adjacent to the first (16) and separated by a narrow double fabric layer (18) can further reduce the possibility of yarn shifting in the first single fabric layer. Such a fabric may be utilized in applications where fabric inflation is desired or necessary. In particular, the inventive fabric may be incorporated within an airbag cushion.
