Abstract: A tool for holding a blade blank (1) comprises a frame (13) in which a control system using clamping jaws (18, 19) and lifters (30, 34, 35) grips the blade and holds it in position vertically on two supporting faces (22, 23), while the blade has been laid on three lateral faces (41, 42, 43). The blade is thus simultaneously held in a precise position and gripped sufficiently tightly, with a single control main mechanism. The mounting of the blade is thus greatly simplified and it may be subjected without further precaution to a manufacturing operation such as welding by friction to a rotor disk.

Abstract: A device and method for inactivating pathogens in therapeutic fluids with sterilizing radiation in a continuous thin fluid flow arrangement that exhibits radiation dose uniformity for fluids having high optical densities. Radiation dose uniformity is achieved in part through a "carrying" mechanism that moves or carries the fluid, thereby eliminating a channel flow velocity profile where flow volumes near the channel walls run the risk of overexposure to the radiation due to very large residence times within the channel. The device comprises a relatively flat belt chamber (22) connected to a fluid flow through an inlet (24) and an outlet (26) on the belt chamber (22). The belt chamber (22) has a top surface (28) and a bottom surface (30). A radiation permeable plate (32) is disposed adjacent the top surface (28) of the belt chamber (22) and is in contact with the belt chamber (22). A radiation source (42) is provided adjacent to the plate (32) adjacent to a side opposite the belt chamber (22). A belt (34) having a plurality of flexible vanes (36) is disposed adjacent the bottom surface (30) of the belt chamber (22) such that the vanes (36) make contact with the belt chamber (22). The belt is driven by a roller mechanism (38) in the direction of the fluid flow. As the fluid flows through the belt chamber (22), the flexible vanes (36) provide a squeegee-like mechanism to move the fluid through the belt chamber (22) in discrete packets (40) defined by a pair of vanes (36). As the packets of fluid move through the belt chamber, they are exposed to sterilizing radiation passing through the plate (32).

Abstract: A liquid cooled fuel injection valve is operable to inject fuel directly into a combustion chamber through a nozzle orifice provided in an injector tip. The fuel injection valve further comprises a cooling system for draining fuel from a fuel cavity disposed within the injector tip and a drain valve that opens when pressure within the fuel cavity is greater than a predetermined set point. Fuel drained through the cooling system is directed to a drain system that may be combined with drain passages typically found in fuel injection valves. In a preferred embodiment, the drain valve is disposed within the fuel injection valve. A preferred method of operating the liquid cooled fuel injection valve comprises stopping flow through the cooling system when cooling is not required by maintaining a fuel pressure within the fuel cavity that is less than the predetermined set point, and opening the drain valve to increase fuel flow through the fuel injection valve by elevating the pressure within the fuel cavity above the predetermined set point.

Title: Double disk refiner, stock inducer therefor and method of refining low consistency stock
Inventor: KEHN THOMAS J
IPC: D21D1/30
Filed: 2003-01-09
Granted: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A double disk refiner and inducer for the same that mixes fiber in low consistency (6% or less by weight) stock and urges it towards both pairs of refiner disks of the double disk refiner. In a preferred embodiment, the inducer comprises an impeller that has at least one flight extending radially outward from an inner hub. Each flight is angled and also can be curved so as to substantially continuously mix and urge stock toward the disks. In one preferred embodiment, the inducer is an impeller that has two helical flights that are axially spaced from one another but that overlap in an axial direction. In a preferred method, the low consistency stock is urged by the inducer toward the disks preventing clumping of fibers in the stock and breaking up any clumps already present in the stock. As a result, the gap between the disks can be increased from between one thousand and three thousandths of an inch to increase the output of the refiner.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une conception de lentille de contact et des procédés de fabrication, d'adaptation et d'utilisation de ces lentilles. Par exemple, la lentille de contact peut être prévue pour être utilisée dans un programme de thérapie de réfraction cornéenne. La lentille de contact selon l'invention permet de résoudre les inconvénients de l'art antérieur, et sa conception permet une adaptation correcte au patient lors de son utilisation comme lentille de contact de correction ou dans un programme de thérapie de réfraction cornéenne. La possibilité de s'adapter correctement à un patient permet de réduire, au moins en grande partie, les risques d'abrasion cornéenne dus à une mauvaise répartition de l'appui sur la cornée, un gauchissement de la cornée résultant de lentilles décentrées, un oedème dû à un ajustement trop serré sur la cornée et un inconfort résultant d'un déséquilibre excessif du bord de la cornée. La conception simplifiée permet à un novice ou à un opticien relativement inexpérimenté de visualiser la relation entre la lentille de contact et la cornée de l'oeil du patient. La conception et la relation correspondante par rapport à la cornée du patient permettent de sélectionner des lentilles d'essai sur lesquelles il est possible de prévoir ou de corriger toutes les modifications ultérieures. La conception de la lentille permet à l'opticien de consulter plus facilement le concepteur de la lentille pour discuter clairement de la relation entre la lentille et la cornée afin de déterminer la conception de la lentille. En raison de la conception rationnelle des lentilles selon la présente invention, un nombre minimal d'incréments de paramètres peut être identifié pour couvrir la plage des cornées communes. Il est par conséquent possible de fournir des ébauches de lentilles préformées qui sont facilement formées en une lentille finale, ce qui simplifie et accélère le processus de traitement. En outre, tout ajustement de la lentille qui peut s'avérer nécessaire en fonction du port de la lentille d'essai peut être facilement mis en oeuvre par l'opticien.

Title: Method for improving signal-to-noise ratios for atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry
Inventor: HAGER JAMES W
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2001-11-28
Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: A method of improving the signal to noise ratio of an ion beam, utilizing a tandem mass spectrometer comprising two mass filters separated by a collision cell. The first mass filter is operated in a resolving mode such that only a narrow mass-to-charge range of precursor ions are stable and accelerated towards the collision cell which contains neutral gas to promote collisional activation and subsequent fragmentation of unwanted fragile ions while minimizing fragmentation of desired analyte ions. The second mass filter is scanned synchronously with the first mass filter such that only ions that do not fragment are recorded by the ion detector. Thus, analyte ions that have fragmentation values higher than unwanted background ions are preferentially detected thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the ion beam.

Abstract: A ring brake has a ring braking member with a caliper arrangement rotatably supported on the ring braking member. This arrangement is particularly useful for any live axle or rotating shaft application which requires braking. The ring brake is easily secured on a live shaft and is easily secured on a live shaft and is movable therealong in a simple manner. The mounting of the caliper on the rotating braking member maintains alignment of the brake pads with the rotating braking member even if racking of a frame or surrounding environment occurs. Thus, the ring brake defines a stable environment and the caliper is merely held in a non rotable manner by a simple connecting link.
