Abstract: A distributed battery system includes a number of energy storing modules, each of which includes a processor and communications interface. In a network mode of operation, a battery computer communicates with each of the module processors over an intra-battery network and cooperates with individual module processors to coordinate module monitoring and control operations. The battery computer monitors a number of battery and module conditions, including the potential and current state of the battery and individual modules, and the conditions of the battery's thermal management system. A module transitions to a stand-alone mode of operation if the module detects an absence of communication connectivity with the battery computer. The module processor autonomously coordinates monitoring of current, potential, and temperature conditions, effects bypassing of defective cells, equalizes cell voltages during charge and discharge cycles, and detects and logs fault conditions arising in the module.

Abstract: A high intensity focused ultrasound system for scanning and treating tumor, comprising a combined probe, a power source, a B-mode ultrasound scanner, a multi-dimensional digit-controlled motional apparatus, a vacuum degassor apparatus, a therapeutic bed, and a computer. The combined probe comprises a B- mode ultrasound probe and a therapeutic head which generates therapeutic focused ultrasound;  its ultrasound-emitting end is mounted on the multi-dimensional motional apparatus, and the motional apparatus carries out scanning movement outside the body under the control of the computer, causing the high sound intensity focal region (space-point) generated by the therapeutic head to carry out scanning movement within the body. By the action of high sound intensity, the temperature of the tissues in the focal region instantaneously rises to over 70 degrees centigrade and the tissues are affected by the mechanical action of cavitation, so degeneration and necrosis occur. In this way the tumor within the body is treated by means of the scanning outside the body.

Abstract: Collagen membranes are formed from porcine rinds (i.e., pig skins) for us in a variety of applications and, most preferably, for wrapping food products, such as hams and the like. First, after removing skins from the porcine, the skins are promptly frozen. In later processing, the rinds are thawed and then enzymatically defatted. Then, a quick alkalinic hydrolyzation is performed on the rinds. Then, an acidic hydrolyzation is performed on the rinds. The rinds are then ground into a gel-like fluid mass. Finally, the fluid mass is extruded, sheeted and dried into a collagen membrane. The collagen membrane produced can be, in preferred embodiments, used for wrapping food products, such as hams.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un conteneur à pompe manuelle qui permet d'assurer un écoulement normal et régulier du liquide contenu. A cette fin, on empêche l'air extérieur qui est aspiré dans le conteneur afin d'éviter toute dépression dans le corps de ce dernier, de pénétrer dans un tuyau de dérivation lorsque ledit conteneur est utilisé en position inversée. Une soupape d'inversion (20) permet de dériver l'alimentation en liquide contenu vers une pompe manuelle (1) lorsque le corps (50) du conteneur passe d'une position debout en une position inversée. Le liquide contenu peut ainsi s'écouler sous pression même lorsque le conteneur est en position inversée. Un orifice situé dans un passage à l'intérieur du corps (50) du conteneur permet à l'air extérieur de pénétrer dans ledit corps (50) du conteneur afin d'y éviter toute dépression. Cet orifice est disposé à l'arrière d'un corps de couvercle (40), tandis que la soupape d'inversion (20) est inclinée vers l'avant et vers le bas, et montée dans la partie inférieure du corps de couvercle (40). L'air extérieur qui pénètre sous forme de bulles montantes dans le liquide contenu est ainsi maintenu à l'écart d'un ouverture traversante (26) formée dans la soupape d'inversion (20) pour aspirer le liquide contenu. La disposition de la soupape d'inversion (20) sur un siège de soupape en vue d'une fonction de robinet d'arrêt est stabilisée et permet d'en simplifier la fixation.

Title: Method of producing laminate molded plastic articles
Inventor: KLOTZ BERND
IPC: B29C45/56
Filed: 1999-09-21
Granted: 2008-04-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a composite plastic moulded part consisting of at least one layer of a sheet material and a plastic body, using an injection moulding tool. According to this method, the sheet material is placed in the injection moulding tool and deformed as the tool is closed. Negative pressure is then applied to one side of the sheet material or excess pressure is applied to its other side, so that the sheet material comes to rest on a mould half. Plastic material is then introduced into the opening injection moulding tool in such a way that the incoming flow rate of the plastic material and the opening speed of the injection moulding tool are co-ordinated with each other. Once a certain opening gap has been reached, the mould is closed and the plastic moulded part is embossed. The inventive method enables greater embossment distances to be achieved in vertical and horizontal machines.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des blocs de papillons adhésifs empilés en accordéon que l'on peut détacher selon un angle de décollement inférieur à 45 DEG  environ, lesquels blocs comprennent une pluralité de papillons adhésifs superposés, longitudinalement inversés, de manière que la première extrémité de chaque papillon adhésif soit alignée avec la seconde extrémité d'un papillon adhésif immédiatement inférieur ou immédiatement supérieur. Les papillons adhésifs individuels comportent une première et une seconde partie terminales longitudinales dotées de caractéristiques de détachement différentes. Ainsi, la seconde partie terminale de chaque papillon adhésif adhère à la première partie terminale d'un papillon adhésif adjacent, à un niveau d'adhérence caractérisé par une adhérence suffisante pour permettre à la seconde partie terminale d'un papillon adhésif intermédiaire d'être décollée de la première partie terminale d'un papillon adhésif immédiatement inférieur lorsqu'un papillon adhésif immédiatement supérieur est détaché du bloc selon un angle de décollement inférieur à 45 DEG  environ. Cette configuration permet, en outre, d'empêcher tout mouvement longitudinal notoire de la seconde partie terminale d'un papillon adhésif intermédiaire par rapport à la première partie terminale d'un papillon adhésif immédiatement inférieur lorsqu'un papillon adhésif immédiatement supérieur est détaché du bloc selon un angle de décollement supérieur à 45 DEG  environ.
