Title: Metal treatment
Inventor: SHAWCROSS JAMES TIMOTHY
IPC: A61L27/04
Filed: 2010-03-29
Granted: 2016-06-30
Abstract: Metal objects are treated by anodising (P, SE) the metal object in contact with an acidic solution, and then subjecting the anodised metal object to a reversed voltage (VR). The anodising is performed in two stages, firstly to passivate (P) with the formation of a surface layer, and secondly to form pits in this surface layer (SE). The second stage (SE) of anodising is performed at a lower voltage than the first stage (P). After the reversed voltage step (VR) the metal object is then contacted with a biocidal metal-containing solution. Biocidal metal is absorbed into the surface of the metal object, resulting in improved biocidal properties. The lower voltage of the second stage anodising (SE) results in reduced processing time.

Abstract: The present utility model relates to an automatic networking apparatus for vehicles for a vehicle with a first component and a second replaceable component, and it comprises a first identity recognition module disposed on the first component and a second identity recognition module disposed on the second component. When the second identity recognition module turns into a networking mode, it transmits a low-frequency wake-up signal through a low-frequency signal transmission circuit to wake up the first identity recognition module. A low-frequency sensor circuit of the first identity recognition module is able to sense the low-frequency wake-up signal, and responds to the low-frequency wake-up signal to make the high-frequency signal transmission circuit transmits an identity code corresponding to the first component. The high-frequency signal receiving circuit of the second identity recognition module can receive the identity code and save the received identity code. In the following data transmission, the second identity recognition module can send the data with the identity code loaded with, so that a receiving apparatus of the first component identifies it. The present utility model features in networking automation and less harness installation. 110 210 220 120 Fig. 1 High-frequency High-frequency transmitting receiving First ID , Second identity identity recognition S recognition module module 210 ((:220 Low-frequency Low-frequency receiving transmitting Fig. 2
