Abstract:
An explosive cartridge comprising: an explosive composition; a deactivating agent that is capable of desensitising the explosive composition; and a barrier element that prevents contact between the explosive composition and the deactivating agent and that is adapted to be at least partially removed on use of the explosive cartridge.
Abstract:
A biodegradable polymer is disclosed having the composition g) from 8 to 80% by weight of a starch modified to include an hydroxyalkyl C2-6 group or modified by reaction with an anhydride of a dicarboxylic acid, preferably hydroxypropylated high amylose starch, a) from 0 to 87.9% of starch, b) from 4 to 11% by weight of a water soluble polymer selected from polyvinylacetate, polyvinyl alcohol and copolymers of ehtylene and vinylalcohol which have a melting point compatible with the molten state of the starch components, c) from 0 to 20% by weight of a polyol plasticiser, preferably glycerol, d) from 0.1 to 1.5% by weight of a C12-22 fatty acid or salt, preferably stearic acid and, e) 0 to 12% added water. The polymers are suitable as biodegradable rigid sheet or flexible film materials for use in packaging foodstuffs.
Abstract:
Oral care devices are provided that are capable of ejecting an air-liquid combination. In some implementations, the oral care devices include an applicator including a passageway within the applicator for directing the air-liquid combination therethrough; a plurality of brushing elements extending from a base at a head of the applicator to free distal ends, the head being sized to fit in a user's mouth; and a flexible nozzle in communication with the passageway and extending outwardly beyond the base at the head, the flexible nozzle configured to direct liquid droplets of the air-liquid combination beyond free distal ends of the brushing elements during brushing.

Abstract:
An illumination apparatus includes a power supply, a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit, a switching unit, and an illuminating unit. The power supply supplies a supply voltage to the PWM circuit and the illuminating unit. The PWM circuit outputs a first level voltage by being fully charged by the voltage of the power supply and outputs a second level voltage by being fully discharged. The switching unit is turned off according to the first level voltage and controls the illuminating unit to stop emitting light. The switching unit is turned on according to the second level voltage and controls the illuminating unit to emit light.
Abstract:
A segmented magneto-conductive structure applied in rotating machines comprises a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor yoke component and a plurality of rotor teeth components. The rotor yoke component is made of non-oriented silicon steel. The rotor teeth components are made of grain-oriented silicon steel. The stator assembly includes a plurality of stator yoke components and a plurality of stator teeth components. The stator yoke components and the stator teeth components are made of grain-oriented silicon steel. Thereby, an operational efficiency of a motor applying the segmented magneto-conductive structure is enhanced.

Abstract:
A drying system positioned after a foregoing workstation or system for drying workpieces, includes a transport belt for the workpieces to be positioned on; and at least one oven including a main body and a drying member positioned on top of the main body for heating the air in the oven. The main body of the oven includes a base and an air guiding member positioned on the base, and the base and the air guiding member cooperatively define a chamber running through the at least one oven. The transport belt passes through the foregoing workstation and through the chamber. The integration of the drying system with other manufacturing workstations or systems may save time and labor used for transporting workpieces in between drying and other manufacturing steps. The disclosure also provides an oven utilized in the drying system.
