Title: Casting of metallic materials
Inventor: STEWARD NEIL DAVID
IPC: B22D11/10
Filed: 1984-08-13
Granted: 1987-11-19
Abstract: A process for casting molten metallic material having a solidification range of temperatures, especially alloys containing more than 80% aluminium, involves simultaneously stirring and cooling the molten material to a temperature between 0 DEG  C. and 75 DEG  C. above the liquidus temperature of the metallic material using hollow heat transfer rods (9) extending across a duct (4), down which the material is caused to flow. The material is then caused to solidify with a substantially non-dendritic microstructure by rapidly cooling it in a continuous casting machine. The solidified bar so produced may then be reheated at a steady rate to a point between its liquidus and solidus temperature until it contains between 30% and 70% by volume solids content but can still be maneuvered without losing its shape. It may then, with a minimum of delay, be rapidly formed into a solid article of any desired shape by, for example, casting in a pressure casting machine.

Title: Guiding system and process for controlling the lateral inclination of a rail vehicle
Inventor: JOOS UWE
IPC: B61F5/22
Filed: 1995-12-05
Granted: 1998-11-12
Abstract: If the lateral acceleration conditions are measured on a rail vehicle and if the inclination of a load floor is correspondingly optimised, problems occur as a result of time delays between the measurement and positioning and as a result of faults which are included in the measurement. This is overcome in that track data which are relevant to the lateral inclination are stored in a track model memory (27), with the detected actual position (1), the track data which are just relevant or will be relevant in future are called up and the inclination ( alpha s) of the load floor which is necessary at that precise moment is calculated (29) and set (11) as a function of the identified instantaneous speed (9) of the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Title: Low temperature pressure stabilization of implant component
Inventor: HAMILTON JOHN V
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 2000-07-28
Granted: 2003-04-03
Abstract: Wear resistance and oxidation resistance of polymer material or a polymer component for bioimplantation are improved by packaging a polymer object in a sealed gas impermeable package substantially free of oxygen, irradiating the package with penetrating radiation to an extent sufficient to effect a desired substantial level of cross-linking within the polymer, and warming the packaged object while maintaining an elevated hydrostatic pressure to cause gases released during irradiation to recombine, stabilizing the material against subsequent oxidative change. The pressure stabilization terminates active sites, substantially eliminating free radicals. When applied to finished parts, the process simultaneously hardens and sterilizes the parts without degrading mechanical properties or dimensions. When applied to bulk material or unfinished parts, the part may be subsequent machined or otherwise finished, and sterilized by any conventional means. The procedure achieves high levels of cross linking without increasing susceptibility to aging or chemical degradation.  <IMAGE>
