Title: Apparratus and process for optimizing work from a smart material actuator product
Inventor: MOLER JEFF
IPC: H01L41/18
Filed: 2004-04-05
Granted: 2014-07-15
Abstract: An apparatus and process for pre-loading an electrically stimulated smart material actuator product to obtain maximum work from the actuator. When a smart material actuator is optimally pre-loaded certain desirable characteristics become apparent, such as work, operational frequency, hysteresis, repeatability, and overall accuracy. When used in conjunction with a mechanically leveraged actuator structure the smart material actuator can be used to its greatest potential.  Since the mechanically leveraged actuator can be based on the maximum work provided by the smart material actuator, certain attributes such as the force, and displacement of total system can be adjusted without loss to system efficiency. Pre-loading methods and a determination of the optimal pre-load force are disclosed. Each smart material actuator type has a unique work curve. In the design of an actuator assembly, the process of optimizing uses the unique work curve to optimize the design for the requirements of the particular application. The unique work curve is used by finding the place where the smart material actuator is capable of providing the most work in order to set the optimum pre-load point accordingly. Different mechanical pre-load techniques are provided.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve is disclosed that may be used as both an over pressure control valve, preventing possible barotraumas to the patient; or as an overpressure control valve for a breathing circuit preventing over pressures caused by blockages in a breathing circuit (supplying breathing gases to a patient) with the potential to damage either the humidifier or the breathing circuit. The pressure relief valve comprises a magnetic seating that is associated with an outlet vent formed on a breathing assistance apparatus, and a magnetic cover capable of covering the seating and the outlet vent. The cover is held against the seating by a magnetic force between the cover and the seating. The outlet vent is substantially sealed by the cover and when the pressure of the gases in the breathing assistance apparatus exceeds a predetermined pressure value that overcomes the magnetic force, the cover releases from the seating to allow gases to exit the outlet vent and reduce the gases pressure in the breathing assistance apparatus.

Abstract: The established dogma for meningococcus is thus that immunisation against serogroups A, C, W135 and Y shall be based on the four different capsular saccharides, and that immunisation against serogroup B shall not be based on the capsular saccharide. In contrast, the invention uses polypeptide antigens and/or OMVs to immunise against serogroups A, C, W135 and Y (and against serogroup Y in particular). Serogroup B polypeptides can achieve this protection, thus permitting a single polypeptide-based vaccine to be used for protecting against all of serogroups A, B, C, W 135 and Y.

Abstract: The instant invention overcomes the difficulties encountered with respect to mounting electrical wiring devices to a common box and then positioning the devices relative to each other prior to attaching a wall plate. Some of the difficulties encountered are positioning the wiring devices to be in alignment with each other, locating the wiring devices to be parallel to each other, adjusting the spacing between the different devices to be equal and uniform and fixing all of the devices to be flat against the wall. In the prior art, the wiring devices are first loosely attached to a box and then moved back and forth, and up and down to fit within cut outs in a wall plate which is then attached to the wiring devices with screws. A  time consuming and tedious job. This invention overcomes these deficiencies by providing wiring devices that have locating openings for engaging alignment pins located on a plate that is subsequently attached to a box. The alignment pins, when engaged by the close clearance locating openings, accurately positions the wiring devices to allow a wall plate to be placed around the wiring devices without requiring any initial or subsequent adjustment. Each set of alignment pins on the alignment plate can be located on a vertical axis which accurately defines the center for the wiring device. The opening in the wiring device receives and holds captive a set of alignment pins. The alignment pins accurately position, align and locate all of the wiring devices mounted to the alignment plate, and the plate allows the wiring devices to be positioned against a flat surface. Thereafter, a wall plate can be positioned around the wiring devices without requiring any adjustment.

Title: Method for transiting a metal conductor into a superconducting state
Inventor: MARKOV GENNADIJ ALEXANDROVICH
IPC: C22F1/00
Filed: 2004-03-15
Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: The invention relates to engineering, particularly to high-conducting materials and method for treatment thereof. Proposed is a method for transiting a metal conductor into a superconducting state, the method comprising plastically deforming the conductor by winding a wire into a single spiral or by twisting wires into a spiral, wherein a dislocation density in the conductor is brought up to a value of not less than 1.10 8 CM -2 by the deformation, and a further increase in the dislocation density in the conductor is carried out by heat treatment up to a value of 1-10 12- 1.10 15 cm 2. The metal conductor can be pre-twisted around its longitudinal axis, followed by winding into a single spiral.  The twisting of two wires into a spiral is carried out at an inclination angle of spiral turns to the longitudinal axis of the spiral in the range of 20 - 58°.  Each of the two wires can be pre-twisted around its longitudinal axis. It should be noted that the heat treatment is carried out by any known techniques at a temperature less than a melting temperature of the metal. Said heat treatment can be carried out simultaneously with passage of electric current through the spiral. The technical result is achievement of a dislocation density in a metal conductor which is required for transition thereof into a superconducting state and which cannot be achieved by plastic deformation.
