Inventor: BROWNING ANDREW
IPC: B65D90/00
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système de conteneurs d'entreposage et de transport comportant un cadre d'éléments interconnectables de la dimension intérieure d'un conteneur et tel qu'une fois assemblé le cadre présente sensiblement la même forme que l'intérieur d'un conteneur, mais légèrement plus petite pour que les parois du conteneur puissent maintenir le cadre monté en position sans lui être fixé. Ledit conteneur est normalement conçu pour contenir des articles tels que des vêtements. Le système comprend plusieurs paires de montants disposés verticalement contre les plus longues parois latérales du conteneur, et en plusieurs points du conteneur, des rails transversaux reliant les différentes paires de montants, et des rails longitudinaux reliant les différentes paires de montants. Les extrémités des rails longitudinaux et transversaux peuvent être munies de ressorts poussant les montants y compris ceux des extrémités du conteneur contre les parois latérales. Ainsi le cadre est rigidement maintenu dans le conteneur uniquement par ses parois sur lesquelles réagissent les montants sous l'effet des ressorts.

Abstract: A flow-field structure for an electrochemical fuel cell plate is manufactured by sequentially depositing layers of a suspension of formable initially liquid material, typically conductive material, such as screen printing ink in which fine graphite particles are suspended, onto a substrate in conformity with a flow-field wall pattern formed in a screen stencil through the porous mesh of which the suspension is passed. The deposited material bonds with the substrate to form flow-channel boundary walls in a three-dimensional pattern conforming to the stencil pattern. Fuel cell plates with complex flow field topographies may be manufactured using this method. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel gas in fuel cells comprising such plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to refrigerating installations of which the operation is
based on the combination of Peltier effect producer elements and thermosyphons with
liquid-vapor phase change. Basically it is comprised of: 1) Refrigeration container;
2) Heat dissipator, 3) Closed and fluid-tight circuit containing a fluid which boils or
evaporates in the hot focal point situated in the low zone and condenses in the high zone,
and then returns due to the gravity action (evaporative thermosyphon); 4) Peltier effect
elements (first step); 5) Thermosyphon which transports the heat to the cold faces of the
Peltier effect pastilles of the first step; 6) Thermosyphon which exchanges the heat with
the prior thermosyphon and transports said heat from the hot faces to the Peltier pastilles
of the second step; 7) Peltier effect elements (second step). 8) Thermosyphon which
transports the heat from the container at low temperature or at frozen food temperature
to the cold faces of the Peltier plates of the second step. The four fluids can be water
with various vacuum levels.

Abstract: A method and system are described for defining a user's access to one or more features of an application. One or more "attributes" are assigned to users of a computer system and stored in a data table. Each attribute has a name which designates the feature to which access is being defined, (e.g, the ability to access data within the database), and a value defining the limits of access. Attributes may be assigned in groups to eliminate the burden of preparing attribute assignments one by one for each user. When an application is run, the attributes are retrieved and enforced such that the user's access to the features of the application is defined in accordance with the retrieved attributes.

Title: Methode pour corriger l'uniformite d'un pneu
Inventor: GAST GEORGE E JR
IPC: B29C35/00
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une méthode de correction de la force directionnelle de pneumatiques, qui corrige simultanément la force radiale et la force tangentielle exercées par le pneu (12). Cette méthode permet de corriger la force tangentielle indépendamment du sens de rotation du pneu (12). Cela est réalisé par la mise en oeuvre d'une technique améliorée de correction de force faisant appel à au moins deux meules rotatives (16, 24). Dans la méthode de l'invention, le sens de rotation d'une des meules (16) est inversée par rapport au sens de rotation de l'autre meule (24). Ainsi, au moins une meule (16) entre en prise avec le pneu de manière à effectuer une 'rectification par le haut', et au moins une meule (24) entre en prise avec le pneu de manière à effectuer une 'rectification par le bas'. Il en résulte que, sur la largeur de la surface de roulement du pneu (12), quelques blocs de roulement présentent un aspect 'dent de scie' tandis que d'autres blocs présentent un aspect 'pointe-talon'. On obtient ainsi une réduction de la variation de la force tangentielle, quelle que soit le sens de rotation du pneu pendant l'utilisation, lorsque celui-ci est monté sur une voiture.

Title: Apparatus and method for reproducibly modifying localized absorption and scattering coefficients at a tissue measurement site during optical sampling
Inventor: KEVIN HAZEN
IPC: A61B5/1455
Filed: 2003-08-22
Abstract: An apparatus for varying localized absorption and scattering coefficients at a tissue measurement site in a controlled and reproducible manner during optical sampling of a tissue volume by controlling the pressure applied to a tissue measurement site by a spectroscopic analyzer allows applied pressure to be maintained at a constant level, or the applied pressure may be varied in a controlled, reproducible manner as a function of time. A rest for receiving a body part holds the body part in a fixed position and at a fixed elevation. A mechanical system advances a fiber optic probe until it makes contact with the body part with a constant amount of pressure. The applied force is supplied by a counterweight on a single arm balance. A temperature control allows the temperature of the fiber optic probe to be equilibrated with the temperature in the immediate vicinity of the tissue measurement site. Alternate embodiments allow the fiber optic probe to be brought into direct contact with the tissue measurement site, and displaced a known distance into the tissue. The invention is also embodied as a method in which the absorption and scattering coefficients for successive spectral measurements are calculated to determine optimum depth of penetration for detection of a target analyte.

Abstract: An electronic key capable of reinitializing or resetting a security disabled electronic article surveillance (EAS) device is provided. The electronic key can be a secure, portable, and battery powered for initializing a secured EAS system's security protocol to factory default state, or to another preselected state. The key has its own set of security protocols to prevent unauthorized use and can easily be reprogrammed for a wide variety of other functions including, but not limited to, firmware upgrading, diagnostic testing, and the like. The key can be connected to the programming port of an EAS device and perform a preset reprogramming operation, resetting activated security features. The key could be purchased for customer use, and would be secured by preselecting the total number of uses, such as one use. The one-time use would begin once the key is activated. Activation of the key is also uniquely controlled to prevent its misuse. In one embodiment, the electronic key must detect the interrogation field of a properly functioning EAS exit system prior to becoming enabled. The allowed usage can be limited by time, the number of units reprogrammed, or a combination of both. Once the key has been activated for its pre-selected number of uses and shuts off, only qualified service personnel can reset the electronic key function for further uses.
