Abstract: The invention provides a method of constructing a multi-storey building from modular panel components. Each panel component comprises a framework of cold-formed C-profile structural steel members including vertical members (1 to 5) horizontal members (6 and 7) and optional diagonal cross-brace members (8 and 9). The vertical members include some load-bearing structural uprights of the finished building, each of which is provided with an end cap (10) on each of its top and bottom ends, connected to the corresponding load-bearing structural upright by welding or by brazing. Each end cap comprises a back plate portion (10a) secured across the open side of the C-profile of the associated structural upright (1 or 5), to side plate portions (10b) secured to opposite sides of the associated structural upright (1 or 5) and an end plate portion which lies across the otherwise open end of the associated structural upright (1 or 5). The end plate portion is in continuous metal -to-metal contact with the associated load-bearing structural upright, so that in the finished building the end caps (10) at the top ends of the load-bearing structural uprights (1 or 5) of one storey are in contact, either directly or via one or more metal shim plates (17), with the interior faces of a C-profile horizontal structural member spanning two or more structural uprights or with the end caps at the bottom ends of the load-bearing structural uprights (1 or 5) to the next higher storey. This construction, relying as it does on continuous metal-to-metal contact, enables the building of higher structures than would otherwise be possible using cold-formed C-profile structural steel members.

Abstract: A battery pack features a shock-absorbing and sealed construction and an electronic control module that provides automatic recovery circuitry in the event of a short circuit in the load whereby the power is terminated and then restarted at a lower level so that removal of the short circuit may be detected. Full power is restored to the load when the short circuit is removed. In addition, the electronic control module of the battery pack uses the battery pack load, such as a cap lamp, to provide an indication of a low battery charge level. The electronic control module also provides a soft-start feature where the power provided to the bulb is ramped up to avoid current in-rush to the bulb during startup.

Title: A method and device for the removal of material by means of laser pulses
Inventor: RATHJEN CHRISTIAN
IPC: B23K26/38
Filed: 2006-08-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for material separation using a laser, whereby a sequence of laser pulses (11 to 20) is produced and an area of a material to be treated is irradiated with the sequence of laser pulses (11 to 20). Methods of this type are used to separate a number of different materials. Known methods are problematic in that the surroundings of the area of treatment are thermally or mechanically damaged, leading to non-treated areas of the material being impaired. In order to address this problem, the laser pulse energy of an individual laser pulse of the sequence of laser pulses (11 to 20) is lower than the laser pulse energy required to produce a material separation using an isolated laser pulse in the area irradiated with the individual laser pulse of the sequence of laser pulses (11 to 20).
