Title: Tie bar clip construction for heat exchangers.
Inventor: NIEUWENHUIZEN JAN VAN DEN
IPC: F28F9/00
Filed: 1994-07-06
Abstract: Increased resistance to deformation caused by internal pressure within a heat exchanger acting in a direction generally transverse to the length of tubes (18) extending between spaced headers (10,12) is achieved in a construction wherein side pieces (22) sandwiching the core defined by the tubes (18) and interposed fins (20) are coupled by means of tie bars (30) having transverse ends (32) embracing the side pieces (22). Resilient clips (40) act to secure the tie bars (30) to the side pieces (22) and include retention notches (54) to positively hold the clips (40) assembled to the structure. <IMAGE>

Title: A sustained release composition comprising a multivalent cation cross-linked algenate combined with a polyacrylic acid.
Inventor: GOMBOTZ W R
IPC: A61K38/18
Filed: 1994-10-04
Abstract: Alginate beads are employed as a site specific oral delivery system for cationic therapeutic agents, such as TGF- beta 1, designed to target the agents to the luminal side of the small intestine. Improved delivery of bioactive material is obtained by: 1) incorporating selected polyanions in the alginate beads to shield the cationic therapeutic agent from interaction with alginate and/or 2) acid treating alginate beads containing the therapeutic agents to reduce the molecular weight of alginate and its interaction with the agents. Enhanced bioactivity of therapeutic agents released from the alginate is attributed to the ability of polyacrylic acid to shield the agents from interaction with lower molecular fragments of acid treated alginate.

Inventor: KOOPMAN JAN
IPC: A61N1/37
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: A programmable pacing system and method, the system having the
capability for providing an indication of recommended replacement time (RRT) as well
as a prior warning of six months to RRT. RRT is determined by storing a value in the
pacemaker corresponding to battery impedance at RRT, continuously periodically
measuring battery impedance, and comparing the measured value with the stored RRT
value. Whenever the pacemaker is reprogrammed to different operating conditions which
affect RRT, or there is a significant change in load lead resistance, a new value of RRT
impedance is calculated based upon a selected formula corresponding to the reprogrammed
set of operating conditions, and stored in the pacemaker. At the same time, an Aging
value of impedance is re-calculated to provide a six month warning before RRT, and
likewise stored in the pacemaker.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory circuit designed so as to
prevent delay in redundancy access and increase in the
chip area due to lengthy wiring between the redundancy
control circuit (the redundancy fuse circuits) and the
redundancy cell arrays. Redundancy cell arrays 30-32
are placed in a plurality of memory cell arrays 20-23,
and the corresponding redundancy fuse circuits 80-82
disposed to make a line with the redundancy word drivers
51-53, respectively. For example, when a defective
address is selected in redundancy fuse circuit 80, a
redundancy judgment signal RDN suspends all the sense
amplifier controllers 40, 43 and 44. A redundancy
control information RED1 instructs to select a redundancy
word driver 51 and the sense amplifier controllers 41
and 42, to select the redundancy cell array 30.

Abstract: For transmitting a power between a driving member
such as a pulley (3) and a driven member such as a shaft
(6) of a compressor, an elastic member (9) is placed
between an outer ring (5) fixed to the driving member and
an inner boss (7) fixed to the driven member with being
compressed between the outer ring and the inner boss. The
torque of the driving member is transmitted to the driven
member through the outer ring, the elastic member, and the
inner boss. When the driven member is locked to be unable
to rotate, slips are generated between the outer ring and
the elastic member. The slips result in generating a
frictional heat, so that the elastic member is fused due to
the friction heat to instantly shut off the power
transmission.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus with a simple structure in
which the temperature distribution of an object to cool can
be kept even and no whistle sound is generated at a duct is
realized. It comprises a duct 102 including a nozzle plate
109 through which a nozzle 105 is bored so that a coolant
is jetted through the nozzle 105 and made to collide as a
cooling stream 106 against an object 101a to cool, and an
inclined opposite plate 109 which is disposed oppositely to
the nozzle plate 109 so as to make the current of the
coolant tend to the nozzle plate 109, and a resonance-preventing
plate 108 attached to an area of the inside
surface of the opposite plate 103 including the point at
which an horizontal extension of the nozzle 105 intersects
the inside surface of the opposite plate 103 so that the
horizontal distance l [m] of the nozzle 105 from the inside
surface of the resonance-preventing plate 108 is not equal
to a resonance distance  l 0  = (1/2) · {(c · d)/(ν · u)}  where c
represents the speed of sound [m/s] in the stream 106 of
the coolant, d represents the diameter [m] of the nozzle
105, ν represents Strouhal number, and u represents the
velocity [m/s] of the stream 106 of the coolant jetted
through the nozzle 105. Because the horizontal distance l
of any nozzle from the opposite plate 103 or the resonance-preventing
plate 108 does not coincide with the resonance
distance l 0  of the cooling stream 106, a standing wave W is 
not generated in the duct 102 and so the generation of a
whistle sound is prevented.
