Title: Protecting components against hot corrosion using sequential chromium diffusion coatings and ceramic coatings
Inventor: WALKER PAUL MATHEW
IPC: C23C10/04
Filed: 2006-06-24
Abstract: A method of protecting a component, in particular a turbine blade, from the effects of hot corrosion includes the steps of (1) applying a chromium diffusion coating to the component and (2) applying a coating of a ceramic material to one or more selected regions of the chromium diffusion coating. The ceramic material preferably includes a binder combined with a metal oxide e.g. aluminium, chromium or titanium. In a preferred embodiment, a turbine blade is coated over the whole of its internal and external surfaces with the chromium diffusion coating.

Title: Ring network switch assembly
Inventor: KAR WAH TAM
IPC: H01H13/04
Filed: 2006-07-26
Abstract: A ring network switch assembly is primarily a type of power box assembly with an electric push button. Each component in the power box is responsible for the operation of an apparatus or a power network. In using small and simple clasps and catches together, the external push button and internal conduction devices are firmly fastened within the assembly and connected together. As well as enabling the user installing the power box to more easily fasten the switch assembly, the fastening results are also better. This changes the previous switch assembly fastening method of a number of long clasps hooking onto the other part, enabling this ring network switch assembly to be installed more conveniently and to be more durable.

Abstract: The present invention provide methods for using Uranium salts and other compounds or materials with high effective atomic number in combination with X-rays or gamma rays or ultraviolet radiation to generate photoelectrons close to DNA in tissues and cells in order to provide therapy for the destruction of tumours and other target tissues. The Uranium salts or other compounds rely for their effectiveness on their high specificity or affinity for DNA phosphate coupled with the high effective atomic number and the choice of a suitable photon wavelength to generate a high density of reactive species in the vicinity of the DNA. They can be administered topically, by mouth or intravenously or locally to achieve specific loading near or in the target tissue to force binding to the DNA through their equilibrium affinity.
