Patent EP-0888838-A1 (EP)
Inventor: UOZUMI MINORU TOYOTA JIDOSHA K
IPC: B22D11/00
Filed: 1997-03-13
Abstract: A partition member 14 having partition walls 30
arranged in a lattice is disposed in the vicinity of an upper
surface of a molten metal mass. The upper surface 16 is
divided by the partition walls 30 into a multiplicity of
segmental surfaces 34. A forming starter member 20 is brought
into contact with the partition member 14 so that the molten
material adheres to a starter surface 66 of the forming starter
member 20, and is then separated from the partition member
14. The molten metal is drawn from each of the segmental
surfaces 34, and the drawn metal 24 is solidified to form a
piece 26 which has a cross sectional shape corresponding to
the shape of the starter surface 66. With the use of forming
starter members having respective starter surfaces which are
different in shape from each other, it is possible to form pieces
having various cross sectional shapes which correspond to the
shapes of the starter surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods for inhibiting angiogenesis in tissues using vitronectin  alpha v beta 5 antagonists. The  alpha v beta 5-mediated angiogenesis is correlated with exposure to cytokines including vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor- alpha  and epidermal growth factor. Inhibition of  alpha v beta 5-mediated angiogenesis is particularly preferred in vascular endothelial ocular neovascular diseases, in tumor growth and in inflammatory conditions, using therapeutic compositions containing  alpha v beta 5 antagonists.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on utilise des champs magnétiques (20) pour induire un effet de pompe thermique pour un fluide thermodynamique (18). On utilise une pluralité de caloducs ne comportant aucune pièce mobile. Le fonctionnement d'une pompe améliore le fonctionnement de la pompe suivante. Le procédé, faisant l'objet de cette invention, s'adapte à une large gamme de dispositifs. En outre, on peut faire fonctionner ces dispositifs à des niveaux partiels de puissance et on peut obtenir une régulation précise de température. On peut encore améliorer cette régulation en ajoutant ou en enlevant des unités du système. On devrait pouvoir augmenter la fiabilité et réduire la puissance maximum appelée. Une large sélection de fluides thermodynamiques possibles (18) permet d'éliminer les hydrocarbures halogénés qui nuisent à l'environnement. Selon un mode de réalisation, des fluides thermodynamiques chimiques sont totalement éliminés. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, on peut utiliser des fluides en surfusion tels que l'hélium liquide tout en évitant le gaspillage habituel dérivé de l'utilisation de tels fluides.

Title: Process for regulating a refrigerating system, refrigerating system and expansion valve
Inventor: JENSEN KENN SOENDER
IPC: F25B41/06
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: In a process for regulating a refrigerating system (1) using an expansion valve (4), one side of the regulating member is pressed by the pressure of refrigerant at the evaporator side and the other side of the regulating member is pressed by the vapour pressure of a sensor system (22) whose sensor temperature is determined by the refrigerant saturation temperature and by the heat supplied by a heating element (27). Heat supply is regulated depending on a measurement value (overheating or liquid level). Also disclosed is a refrigerating system (1) regulated in this manner and an expansion valve (4) as essential component of such a system. An improved, economic and universally applicable regulation can thus be obtained.

Abstract: In an electric lawn mower, a cutter housing (21)
includes a support plate portion (21a) for mounting an
electric motor (28). The electric motor is disposed at
a substantially central region of the cutter housing and
is connected directly to a cutter (27). A scroll
portion (21b) is bulged from an outer edge of the
support plate portion on either the left or right side
of the electric motor and is sloped up rearwards. The
scroll portion is formed into such a shape that it
widens as it becomes closer to a discharge port (44) at
the rear of the cutter housing. Batteries (29 1 ,29 2 ) are
mounted on the support plate portion in an arrangement
such that one of the batteries extends along an inner
side of the scroll portion. The electric motor is
sandwiched between front ends of the batteries. Thus,
the lateral weight balance of the cutter housing is
substantially uniform to enhance travelability.
Furthermore, the cutter housing is made compact.
