Abstract: 100-800 nm ReBCO films with critical current density (Jc) values in excess of 1 MA/cm2 were fabricated from aqueous nitrate precursor solutions with additives. Additives such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sucrose were selected to suppress crystallization of barium nitrate. This produces higher concentration solutions resulting in thicker crack-free single layers. Additional water-soluble viscosity modifiers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or cellulose-derivatives, were used to increase thickness and allow wetting of ceramic surfaces. Water vapor present at higher temperatures during heat-treatment damaged the films, while the role of water vapor at lower temperatures is still under investigation.

Abstract: A hip protector pad absorbs impact energy at a vulnerable area of a greater trochanter of an adult human hip. The pad has a continuous sheet of flexible honeycomb material having faces covered with a cover material and a layer of compliant and resilient foam on an inner side and an outer side of the honeycomb material. The pad is flexible to conform to a shape of the hip area. The cover material reduces a penetration of the foam into cells of the honeycomb material when subjected to impact. The pad is effective to reduce an impact of a fall of an adult human on the vulnerable area to be below an average adult human hip fracture impact level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and unit for load coil localization within a transmission line. The load coil localization is achieved using a model of the transmission line. The model is based on a parameter vector .theta. including parameters describing the transmission properties of each load coil and cable section, and the length of a plurality of individual cable sections as unknown independent parameters.  Using this model an approximation of a SELT (Single-ended line testing) parameter can be obtained. The location of at least one load coil is determined by substantially minimizing a criterion function that represents a deviation between a measurement of a SELT parameter and an approximation of the SELT parameter obtained from the model. The load coil localization method and unit can be used for both symmetric and non-symmetric transmission lines.

Abstract: A detection membrane (11) is bonded to a first surface (10a) of an electrolyte membrane (10) and is hydrogenated.  Thereafter, an oxygen gas is supplied into a space on a second surface (10b) side of the electrolyte membrane (10).  When the electrolyte membrane (10) has a defect portion (10c), the oxygen gas is leaked to the first surface (10a), resulting in a change in electric resistance of the detection membrane (11) near the defect portion (10c) due to dehydrogenation of the detection membrane (11). Whether or not the defect portion (10c) is present is determined based on the change in the electric resistance. Further, an air electrode (14) is bonded to the second surface (10b) of the electrolyte membrane (10), and an electric circuit (17) is connected to between the detection membrane (11) and the air electrode (14). After the hydrogenation of the detection membrane (11), the oxygen gas supplied into the space on the air electrode (14) side is ionized. An oxygen ion is passed through the electrolyte membrane (10) in a heated state to dehydrogenate the detection membrane (11). The electric resistance of the detection membrane (11), which varies depending upon the amount of oxygen ion, is measured for each of a plurality of regions to examine the uniformity of oxygen ion conductivity.

Title: Fxiii detection for verifying serum sample and sample size and for detecting dilution
Inventor: BINDER STEVEN R
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2002-05-28
Abstract: Analyses of serum samples for the presence and amount of either of the two subunits of human Factor XIII protein are used as a means of eliminating a significant source of error that arises in the testing of serum and plasma. For serum samples, a negative result of an analysis for the presence of subunit a is a means of verifying that a sample is indeed serum, while a negative or positive result for subunit a serves to distinguish serum (negative) from plasma (positive). A positive result for the presence of subunit b is a means of verifying that the sample is either serum or plasma and not any other biological fluid. A  quantitative analysis of subunit b is a means of verifying that the sample is of the intended volume rather than having been reduced in volume due to improper sampling. A quantitative analysis of subunit b is also a means of verifying the dilution of a sample of either serum or plasma.
