Abstract: A suspension system (10) for a lightweight robotic crawler is disclosed. The suspension system provides for mounting of a flexible endless track (18) thereon. The suspension system includes a forward guide (14) and a rearward guide (16) around which the endless track can be looped. A deflector (20) positioned between the forward guide and the rearward guide downwardly deflects a ground-engaging portion of the endless track to form a peaked area (24). The peaked area can support the lightweight robotic vehicle allowing alteration of a distribution of load over the ground-engaging portion of the endless track with respect to a supporting surface.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methodology for controlling humidity ( i.e ., moisture) within and/or adjacent a coverlet associated with a multi-layer air mattress. Humidity sensors may be incorporated at selected locations within the coverlet and coupled to a controller that is configured to provide a closed-loop control signal to vary air flow rate through the coverlet to control the rate of moisture adjustment, such as removal. In part, present subject matter may include a combination of a Low-Air-Loss (LAL) topper, having a pair of humidity sensors, one of which is at an inlet to the LAL topper and the other of which is at a selected one of existing outlets of the LAL topper. Air flow through the LAL topper is kept constant, in accordance with its basic operation, while the two humidity sensors are part of a closed-loop feedback control system, which adjusts the humidity of the air being input at the inlet. Additionally portions of a closed-loop feedback control system may depend on the sensed rate of change of moisture, to facilitate more rapid response to changing moisture conditions. Separately, and not as part of the control feedback loop, a temperature sensor may be provided for simply indicating the temperature of the air relative to the LAL topper.

Abstract: The invention presents a pulp concentration adjusting method and its device for realizing a used paper recycling apparatus being installed in a room of a small shop or the like, friendly to the environment, low in running cost, and capable of maintaining a high confidentiality. The pulp concentration adjusting section (3) is characterized by dividing a specified portion from the whole volume of used paper pulp (UPP) manufactured in pulp making section (2) in preceding process, adding water (W) for adjusting concentration to the divided portion of used paper pulp (UPP), and adjusting the total volume of the divided portion of used paper pulp (UPP) and water (W) to a specified value, thereby preparing a pulp suspension (PS) of specified concentration. In this manner, by adjusting the concentration of used paper pulp (UPP) in dividing portions (small portions), the water consumption can be saved substantially and the apparatus size is reduced, while enhancing the processing capacity.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a porous composite material, wherein at least one interdispersed biopolymer is present, with a calcium-phosphate mineral component comprising from 50 w/% to 95 w/% of α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP, α-Ca3(PO4)2) and from 5 w/% to 50 w/% of octacalcium phosphate (OCP, Ca8H2(PO4)6—5H2O), to the total weight of the mineral component. Such combination of α-TCP and OCP allows an in vivo faster resorption rate and thereby a faster formation of new bone tissue having a low cristallinity mineral component with nanocrystal structure, features very similar to those of biological apatites. This porous composite material may find application as bone and/or osteal-chart ilagineous substitute (scaffold) and in producing tissue engineering devices.
