Abstract: An integrated wound dressing system and method including a bandage and a self-contained receptacle that stores treatment material for the care and treatment of wounds. The treatment material is easily accessible and can be removed from the receptacle through an exit. The treatment material can then be used to control bleeding and/or clean the wound before dressing. The bandage may include a layer of plastic that acts as an occlusion barrier to reduce heat loss and maintain moisture levels at the wound site. The occlusion barrier also acts to prevent the passage of air into or out of the wound site. The bandage also includes fasteners that act to prevent unintentional unraveling and to secure the bandage during final packaging. These fasteners help facilitate the wrapping of amputations, stumps, and extremities. The integrated wound dressing system provides an all-in-one system for treating and dressing wounds and reduces the time required to do so.

Abstract: Impact-attenuation members include body portions, optionally with an arched structure, that define a base orientation and an open space; and a spring member extending across the open space and engaging the body portion(s). When a force is applied to the body portion(s) in at least some orientations and/or directions of incident force, e.g., so as to change the impact-attenuation member out of its base orientation, the spring member may exert a force that urges the impact-attenuation member back toward the base orientation. Various example structures for the impact-attenuation member are described. Such impact-attenuation members may be used in articles of footwear or other foot-receiving device products.

Abstract: A distance controller having an automatic stop and/or start function for motor vehicles, having a distance-measuring remote region sensor, a distance-measuring ultrasound sensor, and a control unit designed to intervene in the longitudinal guiding of the home vehicle as a function of the distance, measured by the remote region sensor, from a vehicle traveling ahead. If the measured distance is smaller than the range of the ultrasound sensor, on the basis of the signal of the ultrasound sensor it is verified whether this sensor is functional. If yes, the signal of the ultrasound sensor is evaluated in the context of the stop and/or start function. According to the present invention, the stop and/or start function has an operating mode in which a distance controlling takes place on the basis of the signal of the ultrasound sensor. In this way, the distance from the vehicle ahead can be reduced during stop and go operation.

Abstract: The method for the surface treatment of work pieces in a vacuum treatment system having a first electrode that is designed as metallic target partially and temporally deposited on the work pieces and is part of an arc evaporation source and a second electrode that is designed as work piece holder and forms a bias electrode together with the work pieces, comprises operating a spark over the first electrode with spark flow (CC), by which material from the target is evaporated, and applying a bias voltage to the bias electrode by a voltage source in accordance to the spark flow. The method for the surface treatment of work pieces in a vacuum treatment system having a first electrode that is designed as metallic target partially and temporally deposited on the work pieces and is part of an arc evaporation source and a second electrode that is designed as work piece holder and forms a bias electrode together with the work pieces, comprises operating a spark over the first electrode with spark flow (CC), by which material from the target is evaporated, and applying a bias voltage to the bias electrode by a voltage source in accordance to the spark flow such that no material build-up takes place in net terms on the surface. The first electrode is operated with pulsed current, where a substrate current increased against the unpulsed operation is generated by the pulses through the workpiece surface and no material build-up takes place in net terms on the surface during opposite unpulsed operation of the first electrode with low bias voltage. The substrate bias voltage is operated in a pulsed manner. The actual pulse frequency of the substrate bias voltage is an integral multiple of the pulse frequency of the spark flow. The pulses of the bias voltage are phase shifted against the spark flow at a time interval, which corresponds to the average flight time of the ions from the target to the substrate. A hard metal is used as a substrate, where the substrate surface is a cutting edge and an indexable cutting insert. The target material and/or optionally reaction gas chemically react with material components of the substrate and form stable components. The metallic target contains carbon substrate and conducts the chemical reaction for the formation of carbides. The pulses of the spark flow are selected, so that the current rise valves are 10000 A/ms. The averaged substrate ion current rise related to the material evaporated at the target results more than 30% for spark flow equally averaged in time. The zero growth and/or rates of smaller than 5 nm/s are achieved at the substrate. The surface treatment is carried out above the spark target with and without blends. The pulse steepness is larger than 1000 A/ms and the pulse frequency is larger than 1000 Hz. The resultant of the formation of the chemical connections is detectable in the substrate surface between the target material and reactive gas on one side and substrate material on other side. The process is carried out in the reactive gas without layer formation.
