Title: Method of production of standard size dwellings using a movable manufacturing facility
Inventor: COHEN ROGER BLAIR
IPC: E04B1/35
Filed: 1996-07-01
Abstract: The method of manufacturing standard size dwellings (D) using a movable manufacturing facility (100) brings standard size home building comprehensively within a controlled factory environment. The main structure of the movable manufacturing facility is sufficiently tall to allow assembly and movement of standard size homes within. Multiple independent production lines (P1-P5) are established to each produce portions of the dwelling in the form of subassemblies. Finishes, cabinets, appliances, roofs, paint, etc. are installed in the partially completed dwellings prior to houses leaving the production floor. The movable manufacturing facility allows a standard size home under construction to be advanced via a transport element (T) from one production line to the next until complete. The completed homes are subsequently transported on the transport element over a controlled access roadway to individual sites with pre-constructed foundations specifically designed to accept these standard size dwellings. The standard size house can be relocated from the transport element and placed directly onto the foundation. High capacity hoisting (N1-H3) such as clear span bridge cranes, are the key to material handling and transportation on the production lines in the movable manufacturing facility. A drive through alley large enough to accommodate semi-trucks with loaded trailers may be located within the main structure of the movable manufacturing facility.

Abstract: A submersible vehicle (2) has mounted at the end of arms (6, 7) thrust units (not shown) which act on the arm in the direction of the arrows (15). The arms (6, 7) are connected to the vehicle (2) by linkage mechanism (14). This mechanism (14) is arranged such that when a difference in thrust is applied of the ends of arms (6, 7) the torque on the arms (6, 7) acts via the linkage mechanism (14) to alter the position of the arms (6, 7) and hence the direction of thrust. This can be arranged to cause rotation of the vehicle (2) by applying a differential thrust to the thrust units mounted on the ends of the arms (6, 7) which thrust would otherwise be in a vertical direction to maintain the vehicle (2) in a stable hover position, the vehicle having a negative buoyancy.

Inventor: LORENTO DONALD P
IPC: B22D11/059
Filed: 1996-10-03
Abstract: A wall of a four-piece mould is made by machining cooling channels into one side of a steel backup member. The cooling channels are filled with wax which is then covered with conductive paint or tape. A layer of copper is now electroplated onto the side of the backup member with the cooling channels, and nickel and chromium are plated over the copper in succession. Upon completion of plating, the wax is removed from the cooling channels by melting the wax. Alternatively to machining the cooling channels into the backup member, strips of plastic may be adhesively secured to the backup member prior to plating. The plastic strips, which have widths and heights equal to the desired widths and depths of the cooling channels, are placed on the backup member at the intended locations of the cooling channels. Copper is plated onto the backup member to the height of the strips which are then removed to form the cooling channels. The cooling channels are filled with wax and the process of making the mould wall is then completed as before.

Abstract: A filter press electrolyzer (10), such as for use in a chlor-alkali cell, has electrode assemblies which include a pan-shaped structure (21 and 61). The pan members (21 and 61) have a planar floor (22 and 62) and an upright side (23 and 63) around the peripheral edge of the floor (22 and 62). The upright side terminates upwardly in a rim (24 and 64). The pan members (21 and 61) are elongate, thereby providing long, at least substantially parallel sides at long pan edges as well as short sides at the top and bottom of the pan. On the pan floor (22 and 62) are a series of parallel, rigid stand-offs, which project upwardly from the floor (22 and 62). These hold electrodes away from the back of the pan (21 and 61). These electrodes are typically large, somewhat flexible and at least substantially planar members, usually made of metal mesh. The stand-offs can include principal stand-offs (50 and 80) located at the central area of the pan (21 and 61), plus additional stand-offs (40 and 70), typically one each at the top and bottom of the pan (21 and 61).  The principal cathode stand-offs (80) in the pan (61) of a cathode assembly (30) align in an offset manner between the principal anode stand-offs (40) in the pan (21) of an adjacent anode assembly (20). The height of the principal stand-offs (50 and 80) rises above the rim of the pan (21 and 61). In this manner, the flexible electrodes deflect between the cathode and anode stand-offs, and the flexing minimizes the distance between adjacent anode and cathode members.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for deploying one or more stents within a body lumen comprises a catheter (such as a dilation catheter) having a removable proximal portion. Detaching the removable proximal portion from the catheter shaft allows a substantially tubular sheath to be slidably received over the proximal end of the catheter shaft.  The tubular sheath has one or more substantially tubular stents positioned in a delivery configuration over a distal portion of the sheath.  The sheath preferably has a proximal portion that is resistant to compressive forces, so that a user may advance the sheath along the catheter by pushing the sheath proximal end, thereby positioning the stent or stents at a desired deployment location within the body lumen.  With the stents in position, the catheter proximal end can be attached to the catheter shaft, and the stents can be deployed at the desired position.  After the stents have been deployed, the removable proximal hub can be removed, the first sheath slidably removed from the catheter shaft, a second sheath containing additional stents slidably introduced over the catheter shaft, the removable proximal hub then can be reattached, and the additional stents can be deployed.  Thus, multiple stents can be deployed without necessitating removal of the catheter shaft until the procedure is completed.
