Title: Lock system with key trapping
Inventor: EDEN CHARLES W JR
IPC: E05B11/06
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: A novel lock system utilizes a cylinder lock and a companion key with a projection extending from one side thereof to improve security. The cylinder lock comprises a shell, a core which is rotatably mounted within the shell and a plurality of pin tumbler stacks normally prevent movement between the shell member and the core. Shear lines are defined between the shell and the core, and also within each tumbler stack. The core also includes an outer surface, a longitudinal keyway and a cut-out which is normally offset from, but alignable with, at least one of the tumbler stacks. A plate member is disposed within the cut-out for movement between a first position, wherein the plate member acts as an extension of the core surface to prevent a tumbler stack from entering the cut-out and a second position, wherein the plate member does not prevent a tumbler stack from entering the cut-out. Upon insertion of an authorized key, the key bitting will appropriately align the tumbler shear lines with the shell/core shear line, and the key projection will urge the plate from the second position to the first position and thereby permit the core to rotate to an unlocked position. Upon insertion of a properly bitted key which does not possess an appropriate key projection, however, only partial core rotation is permitted whereupon a tumbler stack enters the cut-out to thereby render the lock inoperable and trap the unauthorized key within the keyway.

Abstract: The method of fabricating a high density magnetic
recording medium even with a smaller aspect ratio but with
greater magnetic anisotropy is disclosed, wherein after
depositing a material with a positive magnetostriction
constant at a heated state after holes are fabricated in a
substrate from the upward direction, the substrate is cooled
to be put back to room temperature. Due to the
magnetostriction effect of the compression stress applied
on the magnetic particles in the holes, the easy axis of
magnetization is formed. Otherwise, by inducing volume
change following the phase transition around the magnetic
particles, recording is effected under the control of the
magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic particles.

Abstract: Exothermic reaction mixtures are electrically ignited with a low cost foil
strip of two conductive strips separated by a layer of insulation. One or more
holes are formed in the ignitor to create shaped spark plasma on one side and
a venting plasma on the opposite side of the hole. The spark with low energy
requirements is sufficient to ignite exothermic reactions for welding, casting
and other uses. The ignitor may be part of reusable crucibles and molds, or
expendable packages, containers, and molds, or smaller squibs for igniting
larger charges. The ignitor may be immersed in or substantially adjacent the
charge of exothermic material. The spark forming hole or holes is made and
shaped by a punch in a simple and low cost manner. The ignitor eliminates
the need for starting powders or materials and flint gun ignitors.

Abstract: A modified styrene-based resin composition in which
silicone powder is added to styrene-based resin. 
     One can obtain styrene-based resin compositions
remarkably improved in impact resistance and sliding properties,
particularly in permanence during sliding. In particular, when the
base material is transparent polystyrene-based resin, it was found
that the present invention can provide styrene-based resin
compositions having excellent impact strength, sliding properties, and
transparency without spoiling their fluidity and thermostability. In
addition, use of rubber modified polystyrene as styrene-based resin
permits styrene-based resin compositions exhibiting well-balanced
impact resistance, sliding properties, heat distortion resistance,
molding properties, workability, and surface appearance of molded
articles. Thus, the present invention enables general-purpose
styrene-based rigid thermoplastics to be used for various
applications, that is, it allows improvement of such thermoplastics
particularly in adaptability to injection molding, extrusion molding
and the like, and thereby will contributes to extension of the range
of their application.

Abstract: The invention is a three-dimensional computed tomography method for
inspecting and comparing actual geometry to predetermined geometry of an
object. The method includes the following steps:
   A) three-dimensionally scanning the object (2) using computed tomography to
produce multiple slices (110) of actual geometrical data of the object; B)
processing (128) the multiple slices of actual geometrical data into actual
boundary data which defines internal and external boundaries of the object; and
C) producing actual point cloud data (140) from the actual boundary data. The
method further includes comparing (150) the actual point cloud data to object
geometry predetermined data (156). The comparing may include
outputting an image (170) comparing the point cloud data to the predetermined
data and the image may represent the geometry of non-conformance between the
point cloud data and the predetermined data. The image may be rotated to
present the non-conformance from different viewpoints around the feature.

Abstract: A multi-axial bone engaging fastener assembly includes a bone screw having a partially spherical head. The bone screw head is truncated at an upper surface in which a tool receiving recess is defined. The assembly includes a receiver member including a central bore that defines a tapered recess to receive the head of the bone screw. The bore of the receiver member also defines a channel communicating with the recess and configured to receive a spinal rod therein. A portion of the channel is threaded to receive a set screw above the rod. The assembly also includes a crown member disposed between the rod and the head of the bone screw. As the set screw is tightened into the receiver member, the set screw compresses the rod against the crown member, which presses the head of the bone screw into the tapered recess.

Title: Device for modifying the temperature of a fluid
Inventor: D ALENCON MARC
IPC: F25B29/00
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: A used fluid passes through an exchange path (1), located in a fluid flow transfer (2), before returning for use (13) at a required temperature (TU2). In the transfer path (2) the exchange path (1) is set between the evaporator (6) and the condenser (8) of a refrigerating circuit (4). The refrigerating circuit (4) is actuated only when the temperature (TA1) of the transfer fluid, consisting for example of ambient air, is unsuitable for properly modifying the used fluid temperature by means of the exchange path (1). The used fluid can be heated by simply reversing the direction of the flow in the transfer path (2). The invention is useful for rearranging exchange paths (1, 6, 8) into a single transfer path (2), for example in a single bundle of tubes arranged in several tube layers of suitably connected tubes.
