Abstract: The luminaire comprises several flat, light-diffusing lamellae (10) between reflectors (1) which each comprise an edge (2) in a light emission window (3). Each lamella has lateral edges (100), an outer edge (12), an inner edge (11), and a relief (101). The relief (101) of the lamella (10) decreases in a direction towards the lateral edges (100), hence avoiding non-uniform light reflections (zebra patterns) of the lamellae (10) on the reflectors (1).

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for preheating, melting, refining and casting of steel. The apparatus has a variable length secondary belt conveyor positioned in a charging area for introducing minute charge materials or slag formers, a skirted self-positioning charging cart engaging the secondary conveyor, a charge conveyor for receiving charge material having a means for maintaining a homogeneous scrap bed height that is coupled to the self-positioning cart, a dynamic gas seal coupled to both the charge conveyor and a preheater, the preheater communicating with the charge conveyor for preheating the charge materials on the charge conveyor, a connecting car for feeding charge materials into a furnace bath that is removably coupled to the preheater and charge conveyor, an electric arc furnace for melting and refining metallic charge therein, at least one electrode sealing ring that is coupled to the electrodes of the furnace, a directly fed intermediate metallurgical vessel that receives the molten metal discharged from the furnace, and a continuous casting device that receives refined-alloyed steel from the intermediate metallurgical vessel. No ladle is used so that the furnace pours directly into the intermediate metallurgical vessel thereby eliminating the requirements for both a ladle and ladle handling equipment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of correcting errors in film dosimetry measurements arising from variations in radiographic film processing and manufacturing. The method includes: (1) irradiating separate and distinct areas of one or more calibration films with different radiation dose levels to obtain a first calibration; (2) exposing a non-irradiated portion of at least one (and typically all) of the calibration films to light from an array of standardized light sources to obtain a first optical density step gradient; (3) exposing a non-irradiated portion of subsequent test films to light from the array of standardized light sources to obtain a second optical density step gradient; and (4) modifying the first calibration or optical density values of the test films based on differences between the first and second optical density step gradients. Since the characteristics of each of the standardized light sources vary little from one exposure to the next, any deviations in the optical density step gradient among different films results, presumably, from changes in film processing or differences in film chemistry.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a razor cartridge (14) with a solid polymeric shaving aid strip (22). The razor cartridge has a blade (18) (one or more) and a skin-engaging portion in proximity of the blade. The skin-engaging portion includes a solid polymeric shaving aid strip (22) having an upper exposed surface which contacts the skin during shaving. The shaving aid strip includes a first exposed lengthwise-extending portion (24) containing a lubricous water-soluble polymer and an adjacent, second exposed lengthwise-extending portion (26) containing a lubricous water-soluble polymer. The first portion contains a greater amount of the lubricous water-soluble polymer than the second portion, and the first portion is adapted to wear at a faster rate than the second portion during shaving. This construction enables the strip to release more of the lubricous water-soluble polymer for a longer time period (i.e., for more shaves) than conventional shaving aid strips.

Abstract: A catalyst mixture containing a titanium zeolite and a supported gold-containing catalyst is highly selective and productive for transforming olefins to epoxides in the liquid-phase reaction of an olefin, hydrogen, and oxygen. This is particularly surprising because neither titanium zeolite nor the supported gold-containing catalyst alone is effective in olefin epoxidation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an electrode for establishing electrical contact with the skin. The electrode comprises an electrically conductive gel ( 12 ) covering a part of a first side of an electrically conductive layer ( 4 ) and an electrically conductive by-pass element ( 19 ). The by-pass element extends, on the second side of the electrically conductive layer, over the circumference of the gel on the first side and is in electrical contact with the second side of the electrically conductive layer at a point opposing an area covered with electrically conductive gel at the first side of the electrically conductive layer. The by-pass element ensures that the electrode continues to be operable even if exposed to chemical or mechanical stress.

Abstract: A scalable content delivery network (SCDN) employs a parallel download mechanism to ensure that a demanded file is present at a station in time for user consumption. This mechanism is used in solving the content caching and storage problem for applications such as video-on-demand, which is commonly perceived as a tough problem in the industry. In the network, files are divided into smaller units called tracks according to the nature of data contained in each of them. Tracks are further divided into smaller equally sized units called block files. This division builds the foundation for parallel download. A sequence server provides a lock-free mechanism for multiple threads or processes to access data atomically. The sequence server allows clients to gain sequential access to data, or to find out whether the sequence has been violated so that they can retry their operation or take corrective action. Advantages of the invention include the ability to handle distribution of large files and process sequencing.
