Abstract: The appliance has a disk-shaped lid (2) locked on a cylindrical vessel (1) by a jaw (3), to form a sealed cooking chamber. Pressure regulation and safety valves and a safety unit e.g. check valve, are arranged in a lid module (6) for being in sealed communication with respective regulation, depressurization and safety openings (12B, 16B, 21B). The module is mounted on the lid such that the valves are remote from the openings for being prevented from communication with the openings to cause a vapor leak, under a lid deformation effect, if abnormal inner overpressure arises within the chamber.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un matériau abrasif à base de cérium qui contient un composé à base de chlore, l'élément chlore étant contenu dans une proportion totale comprise entre 0,05 et 5 % en poids par rapport au poids total des oxydes de terres rares contenus. Selon l'invention, on peut préparer une suspension abrasive contenant ledit matériau abrasif à base de cérium comme composant solide en mélangeant simplement ce matériau abrasif avec un milieu de dispersion tel que l'eau. La suspension obtenue présente une excellente capacité de maintien de la dispersion et peut ainsi être acheminée en continu avec une teneur constante en matières solides. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser un dispersant pour maintenir un état en dispersion, ce qui permet d'éliminer l'étape de séparation du dispersant et de simplifier les opérations de post-traitement après utilisation d'une telle suspension abrasive.

Abstract: A projectile (10) with extensible fins (24) is designed to be lightweight by removing material unnecessary to structural strength and filling the resulting voids with a non-metallic filler material (26). Although particularly suited where the extensible fins (24) are mounted behind the obturator (22) and that are therefore subjected to turbulent, destructive shock waves when the projectile is accelerated down the gun barrel, the method and apparatus can be used elsewhere as well. The filler material (26) may be high temperature grease, an epoxy, a silicone or other similar materials. The filler material (26) may be designed to fall away as soon as the projectile (10) exits the gun barrel, or it may be permanently adhered to the material of the projectile. The filler may be surrounded by a frangible boot (66, 66') to protect the filler during storage, shipment and loading into the gun.

Abstract: An implantable medical device delivers neurostimulation therapy to a patient according to a parameter set. A parameter set may consist of a number of programs that are delivered substantially simultaneously. When programming the implantable medical device for the patient, a clinician programmer may maintain a session log for the patient that includes a listing of programs delivered to the patient and rating information provided by a clinician and the patient for programs of the list. The listing may be ordered according to the rating information in order to facilitate the selection of programs for a parameter set. A program library that may include particularly effective programs organized according to a directory structure may be stored in a memory. One or both of the implantable medical device and a patient programmer may store usage information that provides an objective assessment of therapy use by the patient, and allows a clinician to later improve the therapy based on the usage information.
