Abstract: A fluid treatment device comprising a housing for receiving a flow of fluid, the housing comprising a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a fluid treatment zone disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and at least one radiation source module disposed in the fluid treatment zone, the at least one radiation source module comprising a radiation source sealably connected to a leg, the leg sealably mounted to the housing, the radiation source being disposed substantially parallel to the flow of fluid. A method of treating a fluid in a housing comprising a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a fluid treatment zone disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, the fluid treatment zone having at least one radiation source disposed therein is also described. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing a flow of the fluid to the fluid inlet; (ii) feeding the flow of fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid treatment zone in a manner substantially parallel to the at least one radiation source; (iii) irradiating the flow of fluid in the fluid treatment zone; and (iv) feeding the flow of fluid to the fluid outlet. During the method, the flow of fluid through the fluid inlet, the fluid outlet and the fluid treatment zone is substantially collinear. The fluid treatment device and method are ideally suited (but not limited) to inactivate microorganisms present in water.

Title: Dental model articulator
Inventor: VALEY EDWIN T VAN
IPC: A61C11/00
Filed: 1997-08-21
Granted: 2000-05-18
Abstract: A dental model articulator includes two hinge-jointed arms, each arm having segments connected at a hinge joint having mating elements, one integral to each segment of an arm. One element includes two cymbals that are coaxial on a major hinge axis and concave facing which resiliently capture between them a node of the mating element on the other segment which has the form of opposed, outwardly facing convexities. Multiaxial motion between the segments of each arm is accommodated by the rotation of the convexities of the node within detents at the apices of the cymbals. The extremities of each arm terminate in cylindrical rod-like elements that are parallel to the major hinge axis. The rods engage with transverse, cylindrical channels either cut-in, molded-in or affixed to the models. With the models positioned in centric occlusal relationship and the arms adjacently positioned and engaged, the four rods are adhesively fixed in the channels. Once fixed, the two hinge joints together define a single hinge axis posterior and interjacent to the models. Further, each hinge joint can allow the node elements to release from the axis detents and slide between the cymbals to permit protrusive and lateral masticatory motions between the dental models.

Date Aug. 15, 1996A frictional revolving joint for joining a hub to a shaft has a tapered ring arrangement with two tapered ring sections with conical outer surfaces that have a V-shaped cross-section and a clamping ring made of two clamping ring elements that enclose the tapered ring arrangement. The ring shaped pressure chamber formed by the front surfaces of both clamping ring elements may be put under pressure by a hydraulic fluid, causing the clamping ring elements to slide outwards on the V-shaped tapered ring sections. The ring-shaped pressure chamber (57) is sealed itself by sealing rings (55a, 55b,; 63) that engage the clamping ring elements (53a, 53b) in all positions of the latter. The ring-shaped pressure chamber (57) is thus hermetically sealed and hydraulic fluid cannot escape outwards.

Title: Low profile connector
Inventor: LEMKE TIMOTHY A
IPC: H01R13/41
Filed: 1997-10-09
Granted: 2000-10-26
Abstract: A low profile board to board connector system is disclosed. Retention areas in the respective mating connectors are utilized to receive portions of opposed mating contact terminals. Utilization of centralized retention structures allows optimum placement of areas to receive distal portions of mating contact terminals. These centralized retention structures also allow maximization of contact beam length in limited available space, so that favorable contact characteristics are achieved.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the motor speed of an electric AC motor and method of determining torque
Inventor: BOYS JOHN TALBOT
IPC: G01R21/06
Filed: 1986-03-20
Granted: 1990-03-15
Abstract: This application discloses a method and apparatus for controlling both the motor terminal voltage and motor terminal current to vary in exact proportion as the motor shaft torque varies for any given excitation frequency. This obviates the need for ancillary motor speed control and prevents voltage boosting at low speeds from resulting in excessive motor losses for no load conditions. A motor 5 is powered from an inverter 4, the inverter providing an output voltage with independent control of amplitude and frequency. A frequency signal is fed directly to the inverter from a frequency input, the frequency input also being connected to a multiplier 3. The multiplier provides the amplitude signal for the inverter 4 based onthe product of the input frequency and motor current.

Title: Fuel injection device for internal combustion engines
Inventor: HEIMBERG WOLFGANG
IPC: F02M51/04
Filed: 1996-04-24
Granted: 1998-05-28
Abstract: A fuel injection device works based on the principle of storage of energy in a solid body and is designed as a reciprocating piston pump with a feeding piston (35, 24) that stores kinetic energy during an almost resistance-free acceleration phase. The stored kinetic energy is abruptly transmitted to the fuel contained in a compression chamber (66), generating a pressure wave for injecting fuel through an injection nozzle. The means that interrupt the resistance-free acceleration phase are designed as a valve with a valve body (50a) and a valve seat (57) shaped on the feeding piston (35, 24). To generate the pressure wave, the valve closes the compression chamber (66) so that the kinetic energy of the feeding piston (35, 24) is transmitted to the fuel enclosed in the compression chamber (66). The valve seat (57) and the valve body (50a) lie at the front end of the feeding piston (35, 24), seen in the direction of injection, and separate the compression chamber (66) from the feeding piston (35, 24).
