Title: High-speed electric motor
Inventor: VARNHORST MATHIAS
IPC: A47L9/22
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a high-speed electric motor, e.g. for domestic appliances, especially for a vacuum cleaner, with a rotor fitted with a motor spindle and a stator, in which a fan is flanged to the motor spindle to cool the motor and, in a vacuum cleaner, for instance, to provide the suction power and in which the rotor and stator are fitted in a motor housing (5) and at least part of the cooling air flows along the outside of said housing (5). In order to provide a high-speed electric motor where at least part of the cooling air flows around the motor housing and which is characterized by an improved diversion of the cooling air flow, it is proposed that the cooling air be caused to flow in a helical path outside the motor housing.

Abstract: L'invention (voir la figure 1) porte sur un protecteur de torse universel à usage sportif, pourvu de systèmes hydropneumatiques d'absorption des chocs et de refroidissement de l'épiderme. Les réalisations selon cette invention offrent une protection du torse, comme stipulé par la Directive européenne 89/686/EEC relative aux équipements individuels de protection, (PPEs) de la catégorie II. Cette protection est assurée grâce à une structure porteuse à base de plastique solide ou de fibres de carbone, à un système d'absorption des chocs, constitué de matelassages renforcés de densités et d'épaisseurs variées, et à un dispositif auxiliaire hydropneumatique d'absorption des chocs (figures 8, 13 et 14). Ce dernier fait intervenir des éléments disposés dans les matelassages renforcés ou dans des vêtements à porter séparément. A la différence des ensembles protecteurs de torse classiques du commerce, le protecteur selon l'invention procure un certain confort physique du fait de la présence d'un système de refroidissement de l'épiderme utilisant les éléments et composants d'habillement suivants: élément chimique de refroidissement obtenu par la solubilisation commandée de pastilles de nitrate d'ammonium (figure 10), élément dissipateur thermique comportant des matériaux de refroidissement par accumulation thermique (substances glycoliques gélatineuses) (figure 10), élément de refroidissement électrique avec organes de ventilation (figure 11), élément de refroidissement électronique avec modules à effet Peltier (figure 11), élément de refroidissement par atomisation avec libération de gaz comprimé par des bouteilles normalisées (figure 12), gilet porté à même la peau, doté d'éléments de refroidissement obtenus par la solubilisation commandée de pastilles de nitrate d'ammonium (figure 13), maillot refroidisseur porté à même la peau comportant des matériaux de refroidissement par accumulation thermique (substances glycoliques gélatineuses) (figure 14). On utilise les cinq éléments lorsque le protecteur est porté à même la peau et les deux vêtements lorsque le protecteur n'est pas en contact avec la peau.

Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for stocking and preserving green round wood and sawn timber, which is stored in an airtight and lighttight sealing cover. The oxygen inside the cover is decomposed by the respiratory process of mushrooms, bacteria and wood cells that are still alive, thereby forming CO2 and H2O. Fermentation processes also lead to the decomposition of hemicelluloses and saccharides which are converted to organic acids and CO2. The oxygen content in the cover is less than 0.1 vol. % after an adjustment time of 3 to 10 days of total stocking, while said CO2 content rises to more than 21 to 40 vol. % . This method enables green round wood and sawn timber to be stocked over long periods without wastage or environmental damage.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for expression of heterologous mammalian proteins and their secretion in the biologically active mature form using a yeast host cell as the expression system are provided. Compositions of the invention are nucleotide sequences encoding a signal peptide sequence for a yeast secreted protein, an optional leader peptide sequence for a yeast secreted protein, a native propeptide leader sequence for a mature protein of interest, and a sequence for the mature protein of interest, all operably linked to a yeast promoter. Each of these elements is associated with a processing site recognized in vivo by a yeast proteolytic enzyme. Any or all of these processing sites may be a preferred processing site that has been modified or synthetically derived for more efficient cleavage in vivo. The compositions are useful in methods for expression of heterologous mammalian proteins and their secretion in the biologically active mature form. Particularly, vectors comprising these nucleotide coding sequences can be used to transform a yeast host cell, which can then be cultured and screened for secretion of the biologically active mature protein of interest.

the brazing material in the surface area of the first
member; and, then, pressing the first and another second
metal members between which the brazing material is
interposed during heating at a higher temperature than said
melting point of the brazing material to squeeze the molten
brazing material out between both the contact surfaces of
both the metal members, therefor the two metal members
being joined by the braze diffusion layers formed in both
the surfaces into the joined metal member. Particularly,
the first metal member may comprise an iron-based alloy and
the second metal members may comprise an aluminum-based
alloy, and the brazing material may be a zinc-containing
material such as Zn-Al eutectic alloy.
