Inventor: MAITZ MANFRED FRANZ
IPC: A61L31/10
Filed: 2006-08-16
Abstract: A method for modifying an ePTFE surface by plasma immersion ion implantation includes the steps of providing an ePTFE material in a chamber (42) suitable for plasma treatment; providing a continuous low energy plasma discharge (50) onto the sample; and applying negative high voltage pulses of short duration (52) to form a high energy ion flux from the plasma discharge to generate ions which form free radicals on the surface of the ePTFE material without changing the molecular and/or physical structure below the surface to define a modified ePTFE surface. The step of applying the high voltage pulses modifies the surface of the ePTFE without destroying the node and fibril structure of the ePTFE, even when the step of applying the high voltage pulses etches and/or carburizes the surface of the ePTFE. The modified surface may have a depth of about 30 nm to about 500 nm. The ions are dosed onto the ePTFE sample at concentrations or doses from about 1013 ions/cm2 to about 1016 ions/cm2-

Inventor: SMITH RODNEY
IPC: E01F9/646
Filed: 2008-06-06
Abstract: A highway crash barrier structure with an improved interlocking system includes a plurality of rigid sections disposed end-to-end in interlocking relationship with one another. The ends of each rigid upright section are provided with a reshaped JJ Hooks® connection. Each hook member has an extending vertical lip which is bent into a "J" shaped cross-section to engage a similar lip on the hook member of the adjacent section such that lateral movement of the respective sections is prevented. However, the respective sections of the system can be easily placed or removed by vertically displacing them. In addition, the interlocking plates at each end of the upright sections are vertically lengthened while the number of bars welded to the plate is increased to reduce the rotational moment of the sections and increase shear transfer between adjacent sections. Furthermore, connections include deflection limitation stops located at the lower part of each end of each upright section which prevents spalling and decreases deflection during a crash. The deflection stops can be positioned wholly within the rigid sections or can protrude partway out the bottom of the sections for particular applications.

Patent CA-2642103-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IPPACH HOLGER
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2007-02-22
Abstract: Even if high speed are available between the router and the multimedia unit through the IP line (up to 24Mbits/sec), this is still the bottleneck in term of data transfer. Indeed in practice the vast majority of IP users have access speed between 2 to 5Mbits/sec and the development of other services (telephony, videoconference, push VOD, game) are bandwidth consuming. It is now an object of the invention to propose a solution to reduce the data flow between the router and the multimedia unit over IP line. This is achieved by a method to optimize the data stream between a router and a multimedia unit, the router receiving at least one data stream forming a service and comprising several sub-streams from which part of them are alternatively used by the multimedia unit, the method comprising the steps of : - defining a set of data representing the multimedia unit's profile, - transmitting this set of data to the router, - filtering by the router the unnecessary sub-stream according the given profile, - sending the remaining sub-streams to the multimedia unit.

Title: Magnetically biased propant
Inventor: KNOBLOCH CHARLES SARON
IPC: B32B15/00
Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: Provided is a system and method for enabling pressure or acoustic waves to induce magnetostrictive volume or shape change, providing greater control over magnetopropants. A coating material and the spacing between a magnetopropant and a magnetic particle are selected such that a certain pressure causes change in the relative distance of magnetopropant and magnetic particle, thereby changing the amount of magnetostriction. The coating material, magnetopropant, and magnetic particle are assembled to form a pressure sensitive magnetopropant. Given this structure, changes in pressure will cause a fluctuation of the amount of magnetostriction. In a pore space environment, this causes a change in pore space with resulting change in permeability and, hence, changes in fluid flow.
