Abstract: An engine block mold package includes a barrel crankcase core having a plurality of barrels on an integral crankcase region and one or more locator surfaces on the crankcase region. The barrels are formed by a barrel-forming tool element of a core box. The barrel-forming tool element is configured to also form the locator surface(s) on the crankcase region such that the locator surface(s) is/are accurately positioned relative to the barrels and thus the cylinders formed in the engine block cast in the mold package. The locator surface(s) can be used to locate the engine block casting in subsequent aligning and machining operations without the need to reference a curved surface of a cylinder bore liner.

Title: Method for regenerating platinum group metal suspension catalysts
Inventor: RENNER HERMANN
IPC: B01J23/44
Filed: 2000-07-05
Abstract: The regeneration of platinum group metal suspension catalysts involves a dissolution step using HC1 and an oxidant, such as Cl2 or H2O2, and a precipitating step carried out in the presence of a reducing agent, especially an aldehyde, an HCOOH or a formiate. According to the invention, the content of non-platinum metals which are dragged into the catalyst as a result of the method can be reduced by carrying out the precipitation in the presence of a chelate complexing agent for one or more metals selected from the series of metals of groups 2a, 3a, 4a of the periodic table and of the transition elements without elements of the platinum group.

Title: Step wave power converter
Inventor: SCHIENBEIN LAWRENCE A
IPC: H02M7/48
Filed: 2000-09-28
Abstract: A single- or multi-phase step wave power converter includes multiple transformers configured to receive DC voltage from one or more power sources. Each of the transformers includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. The transformers are each configured to supply a step for a step wave AC output. Bridge circuits are supplied for controlling input of DC voltage into the primary windings of the transformers. Steps for the step wave AC output are output from the secondary windings based upon the input provided to the primary windings. DC source management circuitry manages which DC power source(s) supplies DC voltage input to each of the bridge circuits. The management circuitry provides seamless power switching between the plurality of DC power sources based on each power source's performance characteristics. A  pulse-width modulator can also be provided to the step wave power converter to modulate the input into a selected primary winding. In this way, the step wave AC output can be fine-tuned in substantial conformance with an ideal AC waveform.

Title: Apparatus and method for accessing a biopsy site
Inventor: QUICK RICHARD L
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-01-04
Abstract: A system for accessing a desired site within a patient's body includes a cannula defining an inner lumen that opens both forwardly (18) and into a longitudinally extending side aperture formed in the side of the cannula, near its distal end. An electrosurgical stylet slidable fits inside the inner lumen. At the distal end of the stylet is an electrosurgical electrode (28) capable of cutting tissue when at forward opening (18)and permitting advancement of the system into a patient's body. The electrode, in an expanded deployed configuration, can be wider than the maximum transverse dimension of the cannula, but it may be deflected toward the center of the stylet so that the electrode fits within the inner lumen of the cannula, permitting the stylet to be inserted and removed through the cannula. An elongate guide tube having a central axial bore which communicates with an orifice in the side of the guide tube can be inserted into the inner lumen of the cannula such that the guide tube orifice coincides with the longitudinally extending side aperture of the cannula. In use, the stylet with the cannula disposed about it is advanced into the patient's tissue, using electrosurgical cutting, until the side aperture of the cannula is disposed adjacent a desired site within the patient. The stylet can then be withdrawn from the cannula providing access through the inner lumen of the cannula to the tissue at the desired site.

Title: Procede et dispositif de production de cellulose microbienne moulee destinee a servir de biomateriau, notamment pour la microchirurgie
Inventor: MARSCH SILVIA
IPC: A61L31/00
Filed: 2001-02-13
Abstract: L'utilisation de matériaux étrangers à l'organisme comme des prothèses de vaisseaux sanguins comporte le risque de thrombose et est notamment peu ou pas adaptée aux applications microchirurgicales (diamètre interne de vaisseau 1 à 3 mm maximum). Pour remplacer précisément des vaisseaux sanguins de petits calibres, on a besoin de biomatériaux qui garantissent une très grande qualité des surfaces de prothèses en contact avec le sang et qui empêchent en toute fiabilité l'adhésion de caillots. Pour fabriquer le biomatériau, les parois du corps moulé, notamment d'une matrice de verre composée d'un tube de verre et d'un corps de verre, émergent dans un vaisseau contenant un bouillon de culture inoculé de telle façon que le bouillon de culture inoculé remonte dans l'espace entre les parois du corps moulé. La culture se trouve alors dans un milieu humide aérobie. Dans chaque procédé de culture, on utilise respectivement un corps moulé tout neuf (corps en verre) comme paroi de corps moulé pour former la surface de matériau de prothèse entrant en contact sanguin en cas d'utilisation du biomatériau. Ainsi seulement on peut obtenir une grande qualité de surface reproductible de la prothèse de vaisseau, ce qui supprime de façon sûre le risque d'adhésion de caillots sur le biomatériau utilisé. Ce procédé est particulièrement adapté aux applications de microchirurgie, par exemple, comme prothèse de vaisseau sanguin et autres organes creux internes ou comme manchette pour envelopper notamment les fibres nerveuses.

Abstract: A pneumatically operated egg injection machine includes a sealed frame structure with a pair of in line parallel tracks through an injection section and a transfer section in series. An injection assembly over one parallel track includes a plurality of injectors gripped in a support plate to simultaneously inject vaccine into the same injection region irrespective of egg height and orientation. Fluid delivery systems meter prescribed vaccine dosages to the injecting needles with reduced turbulence, friction, heat and residence time to increase the delivered titer to the injected eggs. A transfer assembly includes a plurality of transfer suction cups which lift the injected eggs by causing a reduced pressure in a ring around the injection hole while maintaining the injection hole at atmospheric pressure, thus avoiding negative pressure in the egg. Once the eggs are lifted, the plate and suction cups move horizontally across the machine over to the other parallel track to deposit the injected eggs. All of the eggs are injected and transferred as a single group. The injection assembly is sprayed with a sanitizing solution at the same time that the injected eggs are moved from the injection section to the transfer section and the transfer assembly can transfer the eggs from the incubating tray to the hatching tray while the eggs in the next incubating tray are injected by the injecting assembly, thus increasing machine speed. The operation   of the machine is controlled and monitored by a controller or computer with appropriate visual display monitor

Title: Metal snow guard
Inventor: SMEJA GEORGE
IPC: E04D13/10
Filed: 2003-02-10
Abstract: A metal snow guard is provided with a solid layer of soldering material on its base to be heated and melted with application of heat to the upper side of the snow guard to solder the base to an underlying metal roof.  The preferred soldering material comprises an interior layer of solder and an outer layer of flux. In one form, the soldering material is in the form of spaced spots or projections providing a rough surface on the underside of the snow guard with the projections melting and spreading laterally into uneven surfaces where the roof or the base of the snow guard is not flat. The amount of solder and/or flux in the solid layer is limited so that the solder and/or flux does not flow outwardly from the snow guard and run down the metal roof thereby damaging or marring the metal roof surface. The preferred snow guards are formed of sheet metal of relatively few pieces and which are folded and joined together in an inexpensive manner. Preferably, the projections of soldering material are formed by forcing a paste of solder and flux through spaced holes in a plate or screen onto the base and then applying heat to melt the past and form a crust of flux on the outside of the projections which are mainly then comprised of solder. The outer crust layer of flux should protect the inner solder from oxidizing.
