Title: Microplasma generator and methods therefor
Inventor: HOPWOOD JEFFREY A
IPC: H01L31/042
Filed: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A low-temperature, atmospheric-pressure microplasma generator comprises at least one strip of metal on a dielectric substrate. A first end of the strip is connected to a ground plane and the second end of the strip is adjacent to a grounded electrode, with a gap being defined between the second end of the strip and the grounded electrode. High frequency power is supplied to the strip. The frequency is selected so that the length of the strip is an odd integer multiple of 1/4 of the wavelength traveling on the strip. A microplasma forms in the gap between the second end of the strip and the grounded electrode due to electric fields in that region. A microplasma generator array comprises a plurality of strongly-coupled resonant strips in close proximity to one another. At least one of the strips has an input for high-frequency electrical power. The remaining strips resonate due to coupling from the at least one powered strip. The array can provide a continuous line or ring of plasma. The microplasma generator can be used to alter the surface of a substrate, such as by adding material (deposition), removal of material (etching), or modifying surface chemistry.

Abstract: A medical device control handle has a first actuation assembly and a second actuation assembly, wherein each assembly has a shaft that is axially aligned but not rotationally coupled with the other shaft. The first actuation assembly includes a first actuation member and a clutch mechanism having a friction disk for generating frictional torque in rendering the first actuation member self-holding. The first actuation member has a cam portion adapted to impart translational motion and rotational motion for disengaging the clutch mechanism upon pivotation of the first actuation member, thus allowing rotation of the first shaft to manipulate a feature of the medical device, for example, deflection. The second actuation assembly includes a second actuation member and a translating member that is responsive to rotation of the second shaft so as to manipulate another feature of the medical device. The second actuation member is also self holding.

Abstract: A phase splitter for separating a multiphase fluid into a relatively light phase and a relatively heavy phase includes a separator tube which comprises a fluid inlet through which the multiphase fluid enters the apparatus, a heavy phase outlet through which the heavy phase exits the apparatus and an inner diameter surface which defines a flow bore that extends between the fluid inlet and the heavy phase outlet. A swirl element positioned in the flow bore downstream of the fluid inlet causes the multiphase fluid to rotate and separate the heavy phase from the light phase. The light phase forms an elongated core which extends axially through the flow bore radially inwardly of the heavy phase from proximate the swirl element toward the heavy phase outlet. A core stabilizer is positioned in the flow bore between the swirl element and the heavy phase outlet and engages the distal end of the light phase core to thereby inhibit the light phase from exiting the apparatus through the heavy phase outlet.

Inventor: ZIAEI MAHMOUD E
IPC: E05C19/00

Abstract: The "zilock" is a simple, reliable, easy to operate, and very cheap security system. It has been designed primarily to be used in houses, townhouses, condos, and apartments when occupants need a real security when they are present inside their units, perhaps taking shower, sleeping, exercising, etc. Contrary to other existing security systems which use many mechanical, electronic, optical and sound devices, the "zilock" does not have any of the aforementioned parts. The "zilock" is a single-piece locking system which can be activated or deactivated by a count of one, two, and three. Once it is activated, it secures the door panel to the frame of the door. In effect the door, the zilock, and the frame of the door become a "one solid unit". This makes it nearly impossible any forcible entry into the unit, even if the door is unlocked. The more force is applied from the outside to open the door; the "zilock" will react to it and will jam the door and the frame making it harder and harder to enter the unit. The only way to enter the unit will be by breaking the door physically. Even if this happens, occupants will have enough time to call the police or the emergency services. Once it is deactivated, the "zilock" becomes an isolated piece and can be stored somewhere until it is needed again. This locking system does not need any major modification to the door/frame so guests or visitors to the unit will not recognize if there is a security system in the unit. The "zilock" can easily be modified to be used in smaller doors, big doors, twin latch doors, storage doors, metal doors, etc. The only requirement is to have a hinged door panel and a frame.  As the system is cheap, it will be very cost effective to use it in places where there are many doors to be secured. The "zilock" can also be used in places where there are no inside occupants.  In this case, there is a need for an entry door (perhaps secured by other means) which would be accessible from outside. I believe this novel security system is of its first kind and has not been developed before. As the other security systems are very expensive and error prone, I am sure that this security system will be affordable by nearly all general public. Let be safe and worry free and have a good night sleep!

Abstract: The invention relates to an ice worthy jack up rig that may extend the drilling season in shallow water off shore Arctic or ice prone locations. The inventive rig would work like a conventional jack up rig while in open water with the hull jacked up out of the water. However, in the event of ice conditions, the legs are held in place by cans embedded in the sea floor to resist lateral movement of the rig and the hull is lowered into the water into an ice defensive configuration. The hull is specifically shaped with an ice bending surface to bend and break up ice that comes in contact with the hull while in the ice defensive configuration.
