Abstract: A conduit housing for enclosing the juncture between a roof and an elongated conduit such as flexible cable or a pipe extending upwardly through the roof is disclosed. The housing may be installed while the conduit remains in situ and without disconnecting the conduit from an external utility to which it is connected. The housing includes first and second base sections, a hood, and a conduit opening extending through a side wall of the housing. The base sections are horizontally slidably engageable with each other around the conduit on the roof to form a base assembly. The base assembly has an open top and extends peripherally around an interior region containing a lower portion of the conduit. The hood is engageable with the base assembly to cover at least the open top of the base assembly. The conduit opening is sized to provide a passage for the conduit from within the interior region to an external region outside the housing, and it may extend through a side wall of the base assembly or a side wall of the hood.

Title: Rotor blade for a wind power installation
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 2000-12-19
Granted: 2005-04-26
Abstract: The invention concerns a rotor blade for a wind power installation.      The degree of efficiency of rotor blades is determined by the afflux angle, that is to say the angle between the rotor blade profile chord and the afflux direction of the air. Particularly in the case of wind power installations the afflux angle depends on the rotor blade speed - that is to say the speed of rotation of the rotor - and the wind direction: the afflux direction is distinguished by the sum vector of the wind speed v Wind and the speed of the rotor blade tip v Tip, the effective afflux speed v eff, see Figure 1, See Formula 1.       The object of the invention is therefore that of reducing the sensitivity of a rotor blade to turbulent wind flows.      A rotor blade for a wind power installation which is divided in its longitudinal direction into at least two portions which are integrally connected together and which are designed for different high-speed indexes, wherein the high-speed index, associated with the maximum power coefficient, of the portion which is further away from the rotor blade root is greater than the high-speed index, associated with the maximum power coefficient, of the portion respectively disposed closer to the rotor blade root.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de chasser discrètement des gaz d'échappement de sous-marins, ces gaz d'échappement étant générés dans des convertisseurs d'énergie en plus de l'énergie électrique. Les gaz d'échappement cédés par une pression dans un système de tuyaux dans lequel s'écoule de l'eau provenant de l'extérieur. Les bulles de gaz engendrées sont décomposées par un mélangeur statique implanté dans le système de tuyaux parcouru par de l'eau. Les gaz sont décomposés à l'aide d'une grande turbulence du liquide. Les gaz étant dissolus dans le sous-marin, aucune bulle de gaz pouvant être localisée n'apparaît à l'extérieur du sous-marin. La pression de travail du procédé étant égale à la pression d'immersion, la consommation d'énergie est très faible.

Abstract: Using micro-resistivity techniques, an image of the wall of a borehole can be obtained. A downhole tool stack is provided with plural imaging tools, wherein each imaging tool has a set of pads that deploy radially outward to contact the borehole wall to obtain the image thereof. As the pads deploy outwardly, gaps are formed between the pads. The pads of one tool are circumferentially offset relative to the pads of the other tool so that more complete circumferential coverage of the borehole wall is obtained during the imaging process. Furthermore, an adaptive polling technique is utilized to telemeter the large amounts of data generated by the two imaging tools to the surface. Data is obtained from the imaging tools by polling at a particular rate, which rate is modified depending upon the amount of data generated by the imaging tools.

Abstract: An earth overfilled arched structure (10) includes a shallow arch (12) spanning a clear space. The sides of the clear space are formed by curved or straight walls. Solidified zones of earth material (backfill or in situ) against the springs of the arch and/or behind the walls form foundation blocks which are in intimate contact via arch footings with the springs of the arch and/or with the upper part of the sidewalls in such a way that the arched structure delivers most or all of its support forces into the foundation blocks. These, due to their size and weight, transfer and spread the support forces to the subsoil so that displacements, especially in the horizontal directions, are minimal. Also, an overfilled arch bridge system includes a composite arch which has a precast layer and a cast-in-place layer. The system further includes means for reducing bending moments within the overfilled arch. The means include customizing the arch end geometry and prestressing the arch prior to or during loading. Precast arch elements which are formed and shipped in a use orientation. The precast arch elements can include arch footings and the system can include a plurality of precast arch elements which can be tied together. The arch elements can also be prestressed.

Abstract: A vertically sliding freight elevator landing door with a safety brake that deploys when a chain suspending the door breaks. The safety brake is adapted for use on both panels that slide up to open or that slide down to open. The brake, which is simple in construction and installation, comprises, principally, a caliber block fixed to the door and a roller cam assembled in the block. A spring biases the roller cam towards a wedge lock position while a cable normally holds the roller cam in an inactive position. The cable and, therefore, the roller cam are released when the associated door suspension chain breaks. The roller cam, operating between a tilted internal surface in the caliper block and a door guide rail quickly fractionally brakes the door on the guard rail.

Title: Breast measurement device and method for use in breast reduction surgery
Inventor: BIANCO ANGELA
IPC: A61B5/107

Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: A pre-operative breast measurement device and method for use in breast reduction surgery. The breast measurement device comprises a base portion and a support post mounted thereon, the support post being height adjustable so as to accommodate differing body heights of users. First and second breast measurement scales, which are width adjustable, are positioned on the support post, the scales being substantially perpendicular in relation to the support post, whereby the first breast measurement scale measures a weight of a first breast and the second breast measurement scale measures a weight of a second breast. A support saddle on the support post receives and supports a chin of a user during the measuring of the first breast and the second breast. The breast measurements provided by the scale thus provide a surgeon with an exact result of how much breast tissue must be removed from each breast during surgery so as to achieve a substantially symmetrical balance between the breasts after the surgery is completed.
