Abstract:
Electrodialysis apparatus for reducing the mineral salt content of liquid materials having dispersed organic constituents (e.g., whey). Means are provided for controlling certain factors during the course of an operating cycle, including the applied stack voltage and the resistivity of the concentrating solution, together with the selection of membranes to provide low working membrane resistance, whereby demineralization of such materials is made more efficient, with savings in processing costs.
Abstract:
This invention provides a new approach to the dry-cleaning of garments and fabrics by using ultra-sonic energy as to the cleaning force. The garment first enters a pair of air compartments which prepare the garment for the wash tank. In the wash tank, which is filled with a liquid solvent, transducers in the wall of the tank apply ultra-sonic energy to the garment to clean it. Upon emergence from the tank, the garment again passes through compartments which first dry the garment and then cool it.
Abstract:
The present invention is one in which ultra-sonic energy is used to break down the muscle fibers in meat, thereby tenderizing the meat. The device is basically simple. The meat is placed between metal plates to which ultra-sonic transducers have been bonded. Electrical energy is transformed by the transducers into sonic waves, and the meat need only be subjected to this form of energy for a period of time.
Abstract:
Apparatus(es)/method(s) relating generally to remotely administering a medication is/are disclosed. In one such method, a drug delivery device is obtained. The drug delivery device has: at least one reservoir in fluid communication with a needle; at least one actuator to drive a fluid within a respective at least one reservoir to the needle; a microcontroller to control operation of the at least one actuator; and a dosage control loop configured for communication with the microcontroller and a hemoglobin sensor. A dosage provided by the drug delivery device is automatically adjusted responsive to hemoglobin count sensed by the hemoglobin sensor for transdermal administration of medication for management of chronic kidney disease.
Abstract:
A system for diagnosing and/or treating a patient comprising a patient information database for storing and retrieving patient health data related to the patient. The data includes one or more of real-time patient health information, at least one clinical practice guideline, at least one patient questionnaire and a patient medical history. At least one server is operative to access the patient information database. A computing device remotely located from the server, including a microprocessor, configured to store a computer application and is configured for communication with the server for retrieving of the patient health data. The computer application generates at least one of a patient diagnosis or a patient treatment recommendation using the retrieved patient health data.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a pattern-character firework carrier (101), a pattern-character display method, and a pattern-character firework setting-off step. The pattern-character firework carrier (101) is provided with a lifting-off device (201) which is provided with a lifting-off gunpowder bin (1) with lifting-off gunpowder (6) packaged inside, and a pattern-character display control device (301) which is provided with a lattice gunpowder packaging body (2) provided with a firework launching unit (4) and a simultaneous ignition bin (3). The pattern-character display method comprises steps of designing a pattern, converting the pattern into a color lattice graphic (12), arranging fireworks according to the graphic, loading the fireworks, and the like. The setting-off step comprises: igniting a fuse (8), igniting the lifting-off gunpowder (6), lifting off the pattern-character firework carrier (101), exciting the simultaneous ignition device (5), igniting firework launching gunpowder (10), sending firework display gunpowder (9) out of the carrier, simultaneously igniting the firework display gunpowder (9) in the air, and displaying the pattern and character in the air. The method is simple in implementation, low in cost, and capable of allowing the gunpowder to be combined freely. The sky can be made bright and colorful with the fireworks. Affection can be directly expressed.
Abstract:
A jointless braided sealing ring and a method and a special machine for producing it are disclosed. The braided sealing ring adopts a multi-layers braided structure comprising a number of continuously sleeved ring layers arranged from inside to outside. The innermost braided ring layer is the core. The tail end of the first braided ring layer is sleeved on the starting end of the first braided ring layer and serves as the starting end of the second braided ring layer to implement continuous braiding without interruption. N braided ring layers have (N−1) continuous intact braided ring layers. The tail end of the outermost braided ring layer is superposed with the starting end of the innermost braided ring layer. Service life and sealing effect are increased. A perimeter-defining ring in the sealing ring improves dimensions precision of sealing ring, and avoids deforming the sealing ring during braiding and trimming.
Abstract:
This memory device uses ferroelectric materials and it stores information as a change in the crystalline formation of the ferroelectric material. In turn, this change manifests itself as a change in the light intensity of polarized light incident upon the ferroelectric bits.
