Date Oct. 24, 1996A process for manufacturing collectors, in particular flat collectors for electric machines. The individual connection elements (2) are at first directly shaped by crowding in a substantially non-machined raw conductive material (1) with their final contour and size and in their final ductile state. For that purpose, a warm forming process is used. The raw material (1) is warmed before the connection elements (2) are formed so that it does not significantly consolidate while the connection elements (2) are formed by crowding, and forming is then carried out in the warm state. In addition, a pot-shaped blank (3) may be shaped, preferably in a cold forming step, for example with inner shaped anchoring elements (6) for an insulating lining. Recesses (9) may be shaped by crowding on the cylindrical envelope (4) of the pot-shaped blank (3). These recesses are associated to the segment divisions and extend almost down to the bottom (5) of the pot-shaped blank (3). In a subsequent forming step, outer anchoring elements (13) are formed on the cylindrical envelope (4), if required a central opening (14) is cut out in the bottom (5) and the previously shaped inner anchoring elements (6) are bent outwards in the radial direction.

Title: Air purification device
Inventor: WHITEHEAD JOHN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01T23/00
Filed: 1999-09-09
Granted: 2003-04-17
Abstract: An apparatus for purifying air comprising two electrodes having a dielectric material such as glass extending therebetween. The dielectric material is air permeable, for example, in the form of a bed of discrete particles such as glass beads. The electrodes are also air permeable, allowing the air to flow through the electrodes and dielectric. Ozone is generated by discharge at points of contact of the dielectric particles. Airflow through the device is improved, allowing greater cooling, and higher volumes of airflow but at lower concentrations of ozone production than with prior art devices, thus reducing toxicity.

Title: Methods and apparatus for preparing and delivering bone cement
Inventor: KAPEC JEFFREY
IPC: B01F13/00
Filed: 1994-04-06
Granted: 1997-08-28
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are set forth for preparing and delivering bone cement from a powdered polymer component and a liquid monomer component by simultaneously injecting the powdered and liquid components, stored in separate component chambers, into an evacuated mixing chamber under the effect of the vacuum; by uniformly mixing the components in the mixing chamber (to thoroughly wet the powder); and by delivering the cement formed by the polymerization process, as needed in an operative setting, utilizing a single ready to use device. The uniform mix is achieved by simultaneously subjecting the contents of the component chambers to the effects of the mixing chamber's vacuum via separate one way nozzles, interconnecting the component chambers to the mixing chamber, which cause the powder to be broadcast and liquid to be sprayed into the mixing chamber. The nozzles are designed and oriented in a predetermined manner (depending on the type and quantity of the constituent bone cement components being mixed), to cause the components to interact at a preselected distance within the mixing chamber, to assure uniform powder saturation and a thorough mix which yields a homogeneous reaction product.

Granted: 1986-01-23
Abstract: A relief image-forming composition having an acidic pH comprises a photosensitive component and an indicator capable of existing in two states differing in actinic opacity dependent upon pH. A relief image is formed by (1) exposing to light selected areas of a layer of the composition, the indicator being in its state of lower actinic opacity, (2) removing layer material from the exposed areas or from the unexposed areas and (3) shifting the pH in the remaining layer material to a value at which the indicator exists in its state of higher actinic opacity. The resultant image can then be used as an intermediate original in diazotype copying processes.
