Abstract: A coupling beam, and method constructing multi-story buildings. A coupling beam design for use in coupled shear walls in multi-story buildings utilizes groups of rebar. Multiple rebar groups are provided. First and second sets of a first rebar group have first ends extending into adjacent sheer walls, and second ends within the coupling beam. First and second sets of a second rebar group have first ends extending into adjacent sheer walls, and second ends within the coupling beams. The first and second sets of the first group of rebar, and similar third and fourth sets within a second group, are provided in a configuration that ends at or near the middle of the coupling beam, thus providing a open or partial-X reinforcing steel design. Coupling beams utilizing this design may include transverse reinforcement, such as stirrups, hoops, or cross-ties to restrain the concrete and provide a confined beam structure, as well as additional vertical reinforcement. A method is provided for constructing multi-story buildings having a core and space around the core.

Title: Energy-absorbing liners and shape conforming layers for use with protective headgear
Inventor: FERRARA VINCENT R
IPC: A42B3/12
Filed: 2006-02-16
Abstract: A multilayer shell for use in the construction of protective headgear, the shell including an outer layer, an inner layer, a middle layer disposed between the outer and inner layer which resiliently compresses in response to an impact to the outer layer, and an internal liner disposed inwardly of the inner layer.

Title: Tissue puncture closure device with magazine fed tamping system
Inventor: FORSBERG ANDREW THOMAS
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2006-04-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for sealing a puncture or incision formed percutaneously in tissue separating two internal portions of the body of a living being with an anchor, a sealing plug and a filament connecting the anchor and sealing plug.

The automatic tamping and/or cinching is facilitated by transducing a motive force generated by the withdrawal of the apparatus into a tamping and/or cinching force.
Patent CA-2604859-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI XUEMAN
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 2006-03-23
Abstract: A system and method are provided for improving the quality and intelligibility of speech signals. The system and method apply frequency compression to the higher frequency components of speech signals while leaving lower frequency components substantially unchanged. This preserves higher frequency information related to consonants which is typically lost to filtering and bandpass constraints. This information is preserved without significantly altering the fundamental pitch of the speech signal so that when the speech signal is reproduced its overall tone qualities are preserved. The system and method further apply frequency expansion to speech signals. Like the compression, only the upper frequencies of a received speech signal are expanded. When the frequency expansion is applied to a speech signal that has been compressed according to the invention, the speech signal is substantially returned to its pre-compressed state. However, frequency compression according to the invention provides improved intelligibility even when the speech signal is not subsequently re-expanded. Likewise, speech signals may be expanded even though the original signal was not compressed, without significant degradation of the speech signal quality. Thus, a transmitter may include the system for applying high frequency compression without regard to whether a receiver will be capable of re-expanding the signal. Likewise, a receiver may expand a received speech signal without regard to whether the signal was previously compressed.

Abstract: According to a low alloy steel of the present invention, compositional elements thereof are limited, and a metal structure thereof comprises bainite or martensite. Further, a proper amounts of Nd inclusions are formed by appropriately selecting timings of deoxidation and Nd addition in melting a steel. Consequently, compatibility between high-temperature creep strength and long-term creep ductility, which is hardly established in conventional steels, can be achieved even in hostile conditions. Accordingly, the low alloy steel of the present invention can be widely applied as the material for the heat-resistant structural member used for a long time under the high-temperature and high-pressure conditions such as power plant boilers, turbines, and nuclear power plants.
