Title: Acoustic insulation device for mobile vehicle
Inventor: KURITA TAKESHI
IPC: B60L5/18
Filed: 2012-05-25
Abstract: Provided is a acoustic insulation device for a mobile vehicle in which sound transmitted to the exterior of the vehicle body is blocked by being reflected or diffracted by acoustic insulation bodies provided upright to the vehicle body; and the amount of noise that an observer or local residents are subjected to is further reduced. Movement of a mobile vehicle generates noise in, and in the vicinity of, a power collector or a similar device provided upright on the roof (3) of the vehicle. Acoustic insulation bodies (1L), (2L), (1R), (2R) are provided upright on the roof (3), and block noise travelling directly ahead. The noise is diffracted or reflected by the acoustic insulation bodies (1L), (2L), (1R), (2R), and moves so as to be transmitted to the vehicle exterior. However, a branched, feather-shaped acoustic insulation body (1LB) provided to the acoustic insulation body (2L), or branched acoustic insulation bodies (1RB1), (1RB2) provided to the acoustic insulation body (2R), act on the diffracted or reflected noise to block sound, and therefore makes it possible to provide an acoustic insulation device for a mobile vehicle in which transmission to the outside of the vehicle body is minimized and the resulting noise is reduced.

Abstract: A method of production of granules 60 for coating a body and the granules themselves are detailed. Each granule 60 comprises silicon (Si), carbon (C), chromium (Cr) and an iron group metal selected from iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni). The relative quantities of the Si, C and Cr are such that a molten phase comprising the Si, C, Cr and the iron group metal will form at a melting temperature of less than 1,300 degrees Celsius when at least a threshold quantity of the iron group metal is accessible to the Si, C and Cr. Each granule comprises substantially less than the threshold quantity of the iron group metal. A second source of the iron group metal is also provided. A combination of the granules and the second source is formed so that at least the threshold quantity of the iron group metal will be accessible to the Si, C and Cr. The granules and the second source are heated to at least the melting temperature to form the molten phase in contact with the body. The heat is then removed to allow the molten phase to solidify and to provide the coated body. The body that can be coated may be a pick tool or milling or mining. An additive manufacturing process may be used to coat the body said additive manufacturing process may includes direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), selective laser sintering (SLS) or electron beam melting (EBM). Arc plasma spray apparatus 10 can be used in the manufacture of the granules with a plasma torch for producing a plasma jet from a plasma nozzle 28.

Title: A contact free blood assessment device and method
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER BARNES
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 2016-02-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the analysis of an isolated blood sample are disclosed wherein alternating voltages at single or multiple frequencies are used to perform radio frequency dielectric analysis. Contrary to the assumption that the dielectric Beta dispersion for human blood is around 1 MHz, the disclosure suggests that, for blood in stasis (for up to 10s) after mixing regime, the Beta dispersion loss peak drifts to a lower frequency and that the membrane capacitance increases by several fold. Accordingly, the blood first is pre-mixed, then placed into a holder adjacent to a high impedance voltage fed single electrode, figure 1 for analysis. A single voltage frequency (e.g. 400 kHz) is applied, followed by a time delay (5s) and then a second voltage frequency (e.g. 16 MHz). Estimates of haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, PCV, ESR, plasma glucose and other haematological parameters may be obtained without direct blood contact.
