Title: Procede et dispositif permettant d'ameliorer la mise en prise par friction entre deux surfaces de contact
Inventor: JOHANSSON DAN
IPC: A63B71/14
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'assurer une mise en prise par friction améliorée, mais pouvant être aisément réglée et dégagée, entre deux surfaces de contact. Selon ce procédé, les deux surfaces de contact sont recouvertes de couches de matériaux (2, 4) ce qui, en cas de faible pression de contact entre les surfaces de contact, leur permet de se déplacer aisément l'une par rapport à l'autre. Toutefois, en cas de pression de contact plus forte, ces couches se mettent en prise de telle sorte que pratiquement tout déplacement entre ces surfaces de contact est impossible. Ce système peut être réalisé au moyen de deux surfaces de contact recouvertes d'une couche de fibres courtes (5), en particulier de fibres synthétiques. L'invention traite également d'un système permettant d'assurer une mise en prise par friction améliorée entre deux surfaces de contact et entre des objets recouverts de surfaces de contact de ce type.

Abstract: A device for monitoring, sampling or delivering a substance to the skin of a patient includes a medical device and a stretching device for stretching the skin to enhance the contact by the medical device. The medical device generally includes at least a skin penetrating member, such as a cannula. The cannula can be a single needle or an array of microneedles. The method for monitoring, sampling or delivering a substance positions the device on the skin and presses downwardly on the device causing the stretching device to stretch the skin in a target area of the skin penetrating member to enable uniform penetration of the skin. The uniform penetration provides for a more uniform monitoring, sampling or delivery of the substance to the patient.

Abstract: A self-piercing rivet has a hollow deformable shank (10) with a piercing edge (11) for insertion into sheet material (14,A,B). A piercing end of the shank is covered by a cap (12, 30, 40, 50, 60 71) of material. The cap deforms around the shank and its piercing end as the rivet is inserted into the sheet material, and acts as a top layer of sheet material. This ensures that the piercing edge does not perforate the sheet material, enabling use of the rivet to join very thin sheets of material, or in tile case of a rivet stud, enabling its insertion into a single sheet of material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing metal strips and sheets involving the following method steps: pouring a strand, which is provided in the form ( 1 ) of thin slabs and which is comprised of carbon steel or special steel, into a casting machine ( 4 ) and rolling the cast product away from the casting heat. The aim of the invention is to utilize free capacities of existing installations, that is, installations not operating at full capacity, with which primary carbon steels are produced, in order to supplement other types of steel or to supplement cast products produced in another manner. To this end, the invention provides that, together with these first cast products ( 1 ), at least second cast products ( 2 ), which are produced in a second process route (II) from special steel if the first thin slabs are cast from carbon steel or are produced from carbon steel if the first thin slabs are cast from special steel, are rolled within a joint rolling program.

Abstract: A Rankine cycle system includes a first Rankine cycle (2A)
operated by a first working medium and a second Rankine cycle
(2B) operated by a second working medium. The first Rankine
cycle (2A) is constituted from an evaporator (3A), an expander
(4), a condenser (5A) and a supply pump (6A), and the second
Rankine cycle (2B) is constituted from an evaporator (3B), the
expander (4), a condenser (5B) and a supply pump (6c). The
evaporator (3A) in the first Rankine cycle (2A) and the
evaporator (3B) in the second Rankine cycle (2B) are disposed
at locations upstream and downstream of an exhaust emission
control device (8) mounted in an exhaust passage (7) for the
internal combustion engine (1). The first working medium has
a boiling point higher than that of the second working medium,
and the capacity of the pump (6A) in at least the first Rankine
cycle (2A) is variable. Thus, the efficiency of recovery of
a waste heat from the internal combustion engine by the Rankine
cycle system can be enhanced to the maximum, and the activation
of the exhaust emission control device can be promoted.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel liquid-crystalline compound which
is a naphthalene derivative useful as an electro-optical liquid
crystal display material, a liquid crystal composition containing
such naphthalene derivatives and a liquid crystal display device
comprising the same. The naphthalene derivative provided by the
present invention exhibits an excellent liquid-crystallinity and
miscibility with currently widely used liquid crystal
compositions or compositions. The addition of the naphthalene
derivative makes it possible to drastically lower the threshold
voltage of the liquid crystal composition while maintaining its
high response. The naphthalene derivative of the present
invention is characterized by a large birefringence index.
Further, most of the naphthalene derivative of the present
invention has no strongly polar group in its molecule and thus
can also be used for active matrix driving. Moreover, as shown
in the foregoing examples, the naphthalene derivative of the
present invention can be easily produced and is colorless and
chemically stable. Accordingly, the liquid crystal composition
comprising the naphthalene derivative of the present invention
is extremely useful as a practical liquid crystal composition,
particularly a liquid crystal composition which can operate
within a wide temperature range and requires a high speed response
and a low voltage driving.
