Abstract: Method is of the thermal cleaning type in which an automatic reheating cycle is activated inside the water heater for a temperature of 'n' degrees. The cycle is automatically activated after every 'x' number of days. The value 'n' can be predetermined so as to correspond with a temperature capable of reducing the most common and dangerous bacteriological load inside the water accumulation deposits, that is about 75 degrees centigrade. The anti-bacteria electronic system for the water heater has an electronic card (1) which contains a microprocessor (U1); a control relay (REL1) designed to supply an electrical resistance sanitary water heater; a potentiometer (R5) designed to adjust the temperature of the sanitary water contained in the water heater; a water temperature sensor; the card can also include; a green LED indicator (D14) designed to signal correct operation of the system; a red LED indicator (D15) designed to indicate a fault; a number of white LED's (D10) designed to indicate the level of the heater contents; a current transformer (TRF1) supplying the electronic circuits and providing current protection for the water heater; a second temperature sensor. An Independent claim is also included for the device used to reduce bacterial contamination in sanitary water heaters.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing magnetic powder is disclosed.
This method can provide magnetic powder from which a bonded magnet
having excellent magnetic properties and reliability can be
manufactured. A melt spinning apparatus 1 is provided with a
tube 2 having a nozzle 3 at the bottom thereof, a coil 4 for
heating the tube and a cooling roll 5. The cooling roll 5 is
constructed from a roll base 51 and a circumferential surface
53 in which gas flow passages 54 for expelling gas are formed.
A melt spun ribbon 8 is formed by injecting the molten alloy
6 from the nozzle 3 so as to be collided with the circumferential
surface 53 of the cooling roll 5, so that the molten alloy 6
is cooled and then solidified. In this process, gas is likely
to enter between a puddle 7 of the molten alloy 6 and the
circumferential surface 53, but such gas is expelled by means
of the gas flow passages 54. The magnetic powder is obtained
by milling thus formed melt spun ribbon 8. In this method, when
the average pitch of these gas flow passages 54 is defined as
Pµm and the average particle size of the magnetic powder is defined
as Dµm, the relationship represented by the formula P < D is
satisfied.

is driven to apply an external force in a direction
opposite to the direction of operation to the shift lever
so as to prohibit the operation of the shift lever to other
shift positions.

Abstract: A transdermal structure (10) is provided for delivering
cannabis chemical(s) (14) to one's bloodstream. The structure
comprises a backing layer (11) which carries the cannabis
chemical(s). The chemicals are contained in a film (35) on
the backing layer or within a cavity (12) formed in the
backing layer. Alternatively, an opening (43) in a secondary
layer (42) that overlies the backing layer may be used to
create the cavity. The structure is applied to one's skin so
that the cannabis chemicals are in contact with the skin. A
polymer material (22) which is mixed with the cannabis and
placed in the cavity or a membrane over the cavity may be used
to control the flow of cannabis chemical(s) into the
bloodstream. In an alternative embodiment, a porous material
(34) impregnated with cannabis chemical(s) may be used to hold
the chemical(s) in the cavity. Because of the relatively slow
transdermal flow rate of cannabis materials, it is preferred
to utilize permeation enhancers in conjunction with the
cannabis carrier or reservoir matrixes or skin contacting
adhesive layers (13)

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for automatically maintaining the Doppler sample
gate position at a pre-selected vessel position in B-mode or color flow images
during tissue or probe motion. The sample gate (34, 36) is locked onto the
selected vessel (30) automatically when the vessel position has changed.
Optionally, the vessel slope cursor (28) is automatically updated when the
vessel position has changed. The method employs pattern matching of
images from successive frames to determine how much a vessel in the image
frame has been translated and rotated from one frame to the next. Preferably,
either a cross-correlation method is applied to the imaging data in the spatial
domain to determine the relative object translation and/or rotation between
image frames, or a matched filtering method is applied to the imaging data in
the frequency (i.e., Fourier) domain to determine the relative object translation
and/or rotation between image frames.

Abstract: A process for enhancing chemical stability and corrosion resistance is described for perforated current collectors made by continuous production processes for use in electrochemical cells, including storage batteries such as lead-acid batteries. The process relies on utilizing a strip processing method, selected from the group of reciprocating expansion, rotary expansion and punching, to perforate the solid metal strip to form a grid or mesh, as a deformation treatment. The perforation- deformation treatment is followed in rapid succession by a heat-treatment to obtain a recrystallized microstructure in the current collector and optionally by quenching to rapidly reduce the temperature to below approximately 80 °C. The process yields an improved microstructure consisting of a high frequency of special low Σ CSL grain boundaries (⊃ 50 %), exhibiting significantly improved resistance to intergranular corrosion and cracking. Perforated current collectors produced with this process from a solid lead-alloy strip exhibit superior growth and corrosion properties when employed as positive grids in a lead-acid battery.
