Abstract: Methods of (co)polymerizing ethylenically-unsaturated materials, including the steps of providing a non-deaerated mixture of free radically (co)polymerizable ethylenically-unsaturated material in a batch reactor, exposing the non-deaerated mixture to a source of ionizing radiation for a time sufficient to initiate (co)polymerization of at least a portion of the free radically (co)polymerizable ethylenically-unsaturated material, and allowing the free radically (co)polymerizable ethylenically-unsaturated material to (co)polymerize under essentially adiabatic conditions while continuing to expose the mixture to the source of ionizing radiation for a time sufficient to yield an at least partially (co)polymerized (co)polymer. The ethylenically-unsaturated materials are selected from vinyl-functional monomers, vinyl-functional oligomers, vinyl-functional macromers, and combinations thereof. The mixture is preferably free of thermally-induced or UV-induced free radical polymerization initiators. The source of ionizing radiation may be a gamma ray source, an x ray source, an electron beam source with an emission energy greater than 300 keV, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, une perte de couches de catalyseur d'électrode de batterie à flux lors de l'inversion de décharge ou de charge automatique peut être évitée par établissement et maintien d'un déséquilibre d'électrolyte négatif pendant au moins des parties de fonctionnement d'une batterie à flux. Un déséquilibre négatif peut être établi et/ou maintenu de manière active et/ou passive. L'établissement de manière active d'un déséquilibre négatif peut impliquer la détection d'un déséquilibre moins négatif qu'un seuil souhaité, et le traitement d'un ou de plusieurs électrolytes jusqu'à ce que le déséquilibre atteigne un niveau négatif souhaité. Un déséquilibre négatif peut être efficacement établi et maintenu de manière passive à l'intérieur d'une cellule en construisant une cellule comportant une chambre d'électrode négative plus grande que la chambre d'électrode positive de la cellule, ce qui permet de fournir une plus grande quantité d'électrolyte négatif pour la réaction avec l'électrolyte positif.

     This invention is a device and a method for preparing a knee joint for a prosthesis in a patient undergoing TKA surgery for any knee implant (prosthesis). The device and the method are used in a universal and an open platform fashion for any currently available knee implant, all patient specific implants and any knee implants that could be produced in future. 
     The device is a patient specific instrument, which is based on a method comprising of image based (CT, MRI or computed X-ray) 3-D preoperative planning to design the templates (PSI) that are used to perform the knee surgery for any knee implant in a universal and open platform fashion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer multi-element composite hard PVD coating with low friction coefficient on the surface of a piston ring, a piston ring and a preparation process. The present invention employs vacuum multi-arc ion plating vapor deposition process, which uses multiple multi-arc ion sources, in the combination of equipping with different single metal target material and multi-element target material to deposit multilayer multi-element composite hard PVD coating with low friction coefficient on the surface of a steel or cast iron piston ring. The coating consists of five layers with the total thickness of up to 60µm. The coating has high adhesion with the surface of piston ring, high hardness, low friction coefficient and good abrasion resistance. By controlling the adding amount of additive elements Al, Mo, W, B, Si and Ti, the friction coefficient of the coating can be further reduced 5 to 20% compared with that of a single TiN or CrN deposited layer.
