Granted: 2002-03-05
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et une structure qui permettent d'améliorer l'alignement d'un arc plasmique et de la ligne centrale et axiale d'une torche à arc plasmique. Une électrode et/ou une buse sont montées à l'aide d'un élément ressort radial dans des alésages respectifs pratiqués dans un bloc cathodique et dans le corps de la torche. Les alésages sont usinés de manière concentriques le long de la ligne centrale et axiale de la torche, tandis que les composants fusibles sont centrés dans les alésages à l'aide des éléments ressorts. Ainsi, l'insert disposé dans la pointe de l'électrode est aligné axialement avec l'orifice formé dans la pointe de la buse. Il est ainsi possible de réduire sensiblement ou d'éliminer l'usure asymétrique de l'orifice de la buse due à un trajet oblique de l'arc. Cette torche peut être utilisée dans des systèmes de découpe et de marquage commandés par ordinateur afin de produire des composants ou des pièces à usiner comportant moins d'erreurs angulaires et de taille.

Filed: 1998-06-04
Granted: 2006-08-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a membrane based biosensor. The biosensor includes an electrode and a passivating layer bound to the electrode. A lipid membrane incorporating ionophores, the conductivity of the membrane being dependent on the presence or absence of an analyte, is bound to the passivating layer in a manner such that an ionic reservoir exists between the membrane and the passivating layer. Reservoir spanning molecules spanning the ionic reservoir are also included. These molecules are covalently attached at one end to the membrane and at the other to the passivating layer. The incorporation of this passivating provides greater stability to the sensor.

IPC: B60N2/00
Filed: 2000-09-08
Granted: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A sheet-shaped sensor body includes a first protective layer formed of a resist paste layer, an antenna film formed of a PET film, a first conductive layer formed of a silver layer, a second conductive layer formed of a carbon layer, a second protective layer formed of a resist paste layer and a hot-melt film, which are laminated one on another in sequence. When the hot-melt film of the sensor body is brought into abutment against a front surface of a wadding previously adhered to a pad of a seat back and is then heat-pressed, the sensor body is fixed firmly and reliably to the wadding by an adhesive force generated by the melted hot-melt film once it again cools and solidified. Thus, the sensor of an occupant detecting system for detecting the physical constitution and the attitude of an occupant sitting on a seat can be fixed easily and reliably to the seat back.

Title: Process for the delivery of oxygen at a variable rate
Inventor: HERRON DONN MICHAEL
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 2000-11-02
Granted: 2004-02-03
Abstract: A process delivers oxygen at a variable flow rate from a distillation system.  The process uses a higher pressure column and a lower pressure column.
