摘要:
The present invention is directed to a fluid warming container (a.k.a., cassette) having an integrated heating element attached to the container, not the warming device as conventionally done. The heating element provides thermal energy to the fluid contained in the container. The fluid contained in the container is designed to be injected and/or delivered, eventually and normally immediately, into a patient.

A method is disclosed for inhibiting the polymerization of acrylic and methacrylic acids at ambient or above ambient temperature, such as during preparation, purification or storage of the acids under substantially anaerobic conditions, by adding thereto a polymerization inhibiting amount of a compound having the formula:R--NOwhere R is alkyl or aryl, and if R is aryl, a hydroxyl group para to the NO group enhances inhibition.

Beneficial stabilizer compositions are employed to stabilize halogen-containing vinyl polymers from, for example, degradation and discoloration. The stabilizer compositions comprise a substantially metal-free perchlorate; a first amine-containing stabilizer; and a second amine-containing stabilizer; wherein the first and second amine-containing stabilizers are selected from an aminoalcohol, a dihydropyridine, an aminocrotonate, an aminouracil, a phenyl indole, or a mixture comprising one or more of the foregoing amine-containing stabilizers; and wherein the first and second amine-containing stabilizers are different types of stabilizers.
摘要:
An exhaust system for a vehicle having a diesel engine and a method of operation are disclosed. The exhaust system may include a diesel particulate filter, a pipe located downstream of the diesel particulate filter and an exhaust gas cooling assembly. The exhaust gas cooling assembly may have an air pump and a connecting pipe connected to the pipe and configured to direct air from the air pump into the pipe. During particulate filter regeneration, the air pump may be activated to push air into the exhaust in order to reduce the temperature of exhaust gasses exiting the vehicle.

A fluid entrainment apparatus is provided which operates to mix a first fluid stream with a second fluid stream. The apparatus includes first and second fluid flow conduits. The first fluid flow conduit includes a nozzle portion having a converging bore through which the first fluid is accelerated. Additionally, the second fluid flow conduit includes a nozzle portion having a converging bore, a duct portion having a generally cylindrical bore, and a diffuser portion having a diverging bore. The nozzle portion of the second fluid flow conduit is mounted with respect to the nozzle portion of the first fluid flow conduit such that an annular port is formed through which the second fluid passes to mix with the first fluid. Additional fluid mixing occurs in the duct portion and the diffuser portion. The fluid entrainment apparatus may be configured for use within a vehicle exhaust system.

Reconfigurable electronic structures and circuits using programmable, non-volatile memory elements. The programmable, non-volatile memory elements may perform the functions of storage and/or a switch to produce components such as crossbars, multiplexers, look-up tables (LUTs) and other logic circuits used in programmable logic structures (e.g., (FPGAs)). The programmable, non-volatile memory elements comprise one or more structures based on Phase Change Memory, Programmable Metallization, Carbon Nano-Electromechanical (CNT-NEM), or Metal Nano-Electromechanical device technologies.
摘要:
A plug assembly is provided with integral optical indication. The plug assembly includes a housing having a leading portion and a trailing portion. The leading portion is configured for information exchanging engagement with an internally illuminated receptacle sized and shaped to releasably receive said leading portion therein. The receptacle is configured to radiate light onto the leading portion of the plug. This leading portion includes a light collector configured to receive the light, which is then conveyed via an optical coupling to an optical indicator located on the trailing portion of the plug assembly. The indicator has optical properties distinct from those of said trailing portion to facilitate viewing.

A method is disclosed for inhibiting the polymerization of acrylic and methacrylic acids at ambient or above ambient temperature, such as during preparation, purification or storage of the acids under substantially anaerobic conditions, by adding thereto a polymerization inhibiting amount of a compound having the formula: ##STR1## where R, R', R", R"' are hydrogen, alkyl or aryl.
摘要:
A frame, one or more wheels rotationally attached to the frame, two or more end feet attached to opposite ends of the frame, one or more end safety tether attachments, and a flip-pole attachment. The frame straddles the roof peak so the end feet are stably positioned on opposite roof surfaces. The wheels enable the device, when flipped to its inverted position, to be rolled up and down the roof for installation and removal. The flip-pole attachment enables attachment of a flip pole for use in installing and removing the device from a ladder. And the end tether attachments enable workers to couple their safety tethers to the secured device so that if they fall their fall will be arrested for safety. Typical embodiments include an outrigger assembly with roof-mounting side feet that in a pivoted use position are offset from the frame end feet for improved stability.
