摘要:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus including a support member, a sign, and a repositioning mechanism. The sign is supported by the support member. The sign has a generally planar shape and extends in a plane. The repositioning mechanism is coupled to the sign. The repositioning mechanism is to fixedly position the sign in a first static position displaced at a first non-zero angle from a horizontal position.

A method and apparatus for discharging a temperature-controlled flow of a resultant fluid (32) containing a throttling gas and cryogenic fluid onto a material (14) for the purpose of maintaining the temperature of the material within a desired temperature range and below the glass transition temperature of the material during machining. Also disclosed is an apparatus and method for deburring or deflashing a machined material by discharging a temperature-controlled flow of a resultant fluid (132) onto a machined material (114) to harden the burrs (134a), then brushing the material (114) to remove the hardened burrs (143a).

Embodiments of the present invention provide mechanical sail systems, methods, apparatus, and code which allow use of the Magnus effect to provide thrust to a ship. In some embodiments, a mechanical sail system is provided which includes a silo, positioned below a deck level of a ship, a lift carriage, mounted within the silo, and supporting a first sail cylinder and a second sail cylinder, and at least a first drive motor coupled to a control system for selectively positioning the lift carriage within the silo, the control system operable to control the at least first drive motor to position the lift carriage at a top position within the silo to deploy the first and second sail cylinders.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for administering a pharmaceutically useful anticoagulant drug to certain suitable patients and a method for identifying those patients suitable for receiving the drug. In particular, the invention surrounds the identification of an association between HLA-DRB1*07 allele and susceptibility to increased levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) following ximelagatran administration. Thus, this invention relates to methods for predicting susceptibility to elevated ALAT following ximelagatran administration and to methods for administering a pharmaceutically useful anticoagulant drug to certain suitable patients.
摘要:
A machining method and an article manufactured therefrom, the method improving mechanical properties in a work surface by performing a very shallow machining pass using a cutting tool, in combination with application of a cryogenic fluid to the work surface and the cutting tool, the combination compressive force and cryogenic cooling increasing hardness, increasing compressive residual stress, and reducing surface roughness in the manufactured article.

A mass flow meter employs discrete chip-type temperature sensors to sense a fluid flow rate. The sensor can be a semiconductor chip such as SiC or silicon, or thin film tungsten on an AlN substrate. The sensors can be distributed symmetrically with respect to the conduit through which the fluid flows, and can be connected in a four-sensor bridge circuit for accurate flow rate monitoring. An output from the mass flow meter can be used to control the fluid flow.

A non-powered portable dishwasher, especially suited for insertion within a sink, has an enclosed dish-holding container with a rack for separating dirty dishes and a sealable top member for creating an enclosed washing chamber. Suspended from the top member, vertically descending, intermediate the various dirty dishes to be washed are a plurality of flexible washing bladders. Each of these washing bladders in turn has a series of washing apertures permitting the spray of water. Each of the washing bladders is manifolded to a wash-water manifold, which provides for connecting a continuous flow of hot water to the dishwasher, as well as providing for the addition of soap or detergent. When the dishwasher is assembled, filled with dirty dishes, and a source of hot water is supplied, the individual washing bladders will fill with the supplied water and detergent swelling to a larger size contacting the dishes. As a part of the swelling, the individual spray apertures will open emitting a greater volume of wash-water which in turn causes the bladder to collapse. A combination of the surging of the bladders and the substantially horizontal spray direction of the wash water upon the dirty dishes provides an effective cleaning capability and a mild scrubbing action. The necessity for granulated or abrasive detergents, as found in typical spray dishwashers, is eliminated. The dishwasher is particularly advantageous as a portable dishwasher not requiring electrical power for use in campers, mobile homes, campsites and the like.
