Abstract: Diode devices with superior and pre-settable characteristics and of nanometric dimensions, comprise etched insulative lines (8, 16, 18) in a conductive substrate to define between the lines charge carrier flow paths, formed as elongate channels (20) at least 100 nm long and less than 100 nm wide. The current-voltage characteristic of the diode devices are similar to a conventional diode, but both the threshold voltage (from 0V to a few volts) and the current level (from nA to µA) can be tuned by orders of magnitude by changing the device geometry. Standard silicon wafers can be used as substrates. A full family of logic gates, such as OR, AND, and NOT, can be constructed based on this device solely by simply etching insulative lines in the substrate.

Title: Flashing for inclined roof and method for installing the same
Inventor: GROULX SIMON
IPC: E04D13/147
Filed: 2004-03-08
Granted: 2009-03-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a flashing for weatherproofing an aperture made in an inclined roof to allow passage of a vertical member such as chimney through the inclined roof. This flashing has a base member adapted to be mounted over the aperture and a surrounding member that is tubular in shape and extends upwardly from the base member to fit around the vertical member. The base member comprises a covering panel of quadrilateral shape having a top edge adapted to be positioned on an upper part of the inclined roof, a bottom edge adapted to be positioned on a lower part of the inclined roof, two opposite side edges and an opening large enough to allow passage of the vertical member therethrough. A bottom side wall projects downwardly from the bottom edge of the covering panel and two lateral side walls respectively extend downwardly from the opposite side edges of the covering panes and sidewardly from the bottom side wall in a tapering fashion. The covering panel, bottom side wall and lateral side walls together defines a hollow housing. This flashing can be installed by (1) cutting a slot in the upper part of the inclined roof above the aperture made therein, so as to receive the top edge of the covering panel of the base member, (2) inserting the top edge of the covering panel into the slot cut in the inclined roof (3) positioning the bottom side wall of the base member onto the lower part of the inclined roof in such a manner that the bottom opening of the surrounding member is located on top of the roof aperture; and (4) fastening the base member to the inclined roof. Thanks to its particular structure and the way it is installed, the flashing according to the invention may be installed in a very easy and efficient manner on any kind of roofs, including inclined roofs with a corrugated structure defining downwardly oriented ridges.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un perforateur actif présentant une efficacité élevée même à l'état inerte, un projectile actif, un missile actif ou un projectile actif polyvalent dont le rapport entre la puissance de pénétration et l'action latérale peut être réglé structurellement. L'effet général balistique final provenant de la profondeur de pénétration et de l'occupation de surface / de la charge par unité de surface est déclenché, dans le cas d'un projectile actif, au moyen d'un dispositif activable indépendamment de la position du corps actif (1). L'efficacité latérale est obtenue au moyen d'un agent de transmission (4) inerte adapté dans lequel un champ de pression quasi hydrostatique ou hydrodynamique est établi à l'aide d'un dispositif générateur de pression (5) et transmis à l'enveloppe (2) entourant le corps actif et formant des fragments ou libérant des sous-projectiles. L'enveloppe (2A, 2B) du corps actif, qui présente un effet balistique final de par ses caractéristiques de matériaux, son poids et sa vitesse, constitue l'élément à énergie cinétique central. Cette enveloppe, entièrement ou partiellement fermée, entoure une partie intérieure qui, au niveau d'une action latérale active souhaitée, est remplie d'un agent de transmission (4) qui transmet à l'enveloppe du corps actif la pression produite au moyen d'une unité pyrotechnique (5) déclenchable, ce qui entraîne un fractionnement en fragments/sous-projectiles avec une composante de mouvement latérale. L'unité pyrotechnique (5) active peut être constituée d'un seul détonateur (6) amorçable électriquement, de taille réduite par rapport à la taille du corps actif, ce détonateur étant relié à un détecteur de contact simple, avec un relais de temporisation, un module programmable, un élément récepteur et un élément de sécurité en tant que système de déclenchement activable (7). Ce système de déclenchement activable peut être placé au niveau de la pointe et/ou de l'arrière du perforateur et relié par une ligne (8).

Abstract: Osteogenic bone implant compositions that approximate the chemical composition of natural bone are provided. The organic component of these implant compositions is osteoinductive despite the presence of the inorganic component and, further, is present in an amount sufficient to maximize the regenerative capabilities of the implant without compromising its formability and mechanical strength. The composition may be an osteoinductive powder, including demineralized bone matrix (DBM) particles, a calcium phosphate powder, and, optionally, a biocompatible cohesiveness agent. The powder may be combined with a physiologically-acceptable fluid to produce a formable, osteoinductive paste that self-hardens to form a poorly crystalline apatitic (PCA) calcium phosphate having significant compressive strength. The bone implant materials retain their cohesiveness when introduced at an implant site and are remodeled into bone in vivo. Methods for using these implant materials to repair damaged bone and a method of assaying the content of DBM particles, by weight, in a bone implant material are also provided.
