Abstract: Articles made of shape memory alloys having improved fatigue performance and to methods of treating articles formed from those materials by pre-straining the articles (or desired portions) in a controlled manner so that the resultant articles exhibit improved fatigue performance. The shape memory articles are preferably medical devices, more preferably implantable medical devices. They are most preferably devices of nitinol shape memory alloy that is superelastic at normal body temperature. The pre-straining method of the present invention includes the controlled introduction of non-recoverable tensile strains greater than about 0.20% at die surface of a desired portion of a shape memory alloy article. Controlled pre-straining operations are performed on shape-set nitinol metal to achieve non-recoverable tensile strain greater than about 0.20% at or near the surface of selected regions in the nitinol metal article. The pre-straining operations result in a significant increase in fatigue life of the selectively treated regions and an overall improvement in the fatigue performance of the device.

Title: Process for preparing 4-aminodiphenylamine
Inventor: WANG NONGYUE
IPC: C07C209/82
Filed: 2004-07-02
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for producing 4-aminodiphenylamine by reacting nitrobenzene with an aniline in the presence of complex base catalyst for condensation and complex powdery catalyst for hydrogenation, which comprises the steps of condensation, separation, hydrogenation, separation II and refining sequentially. The method of the present invention can be carried out continuously.  By using the complex base catalyst for the condensation, followed being separated and recycling before the hydrogenation, the problem of heat-sensitive decomposition of the complex base catalyst during the hydrogenation procedure can be avoided.  Accordingly, the choice of the hydrogenation catalyst is increased, and lower-cost hydrogenation catalysts can be used. Meanwhile, the apparatus can be selected easily and the industrializaion can be achieved simply. The complex base catalyst according to the invention is cheaper. The catalytic activity of the catalyst is high and the condition of the reaction is gentle. Additionally, the complex base catalyst is suitable to a wide range of water content. Accordingly, the amount of the by-product is decreased, and the conversion and the selectivity can be increased. The labour intensity of the process control is low. Moreover, corrodible liquid is not generated and the environmental pollution can be reduced. The content of 4-aminodiphenylamine reaches 99% (by weight), and yield in the industrial-scale production is greater than 95%.

Abstract: The system allows training and qualification of a user performing a skill-related training exercise involving body motion in a workspace. A training environment is selected through a computer apparatus, and variables, parameters and controls of the training environment and the training exercise are adjusted. Use of an input device by the user is monitored. The 3D angles and spatial coordinates of reference points related to the input device are monitored through a detection device. A    simulated 3D dynamic environment reflecting effects caused by actions performed by the user on objects is computed in real time as a function of the training environment selected. Images of the simulated 3D dynamic environment in real time are generated on a display device viewable by the user as a function of a computed organ of vision-object relation. Data indicative of the actions performed by the user and the effects of the actions are recorded and user qualification is set as a function of the recorded data.
