摘要:
Insulation assemblies provide reduced heat loss from electrolytic metal production cells such as inert anode aluminum production cells. The insulation assemblies may be located at the end, side and/or center aisles of the cell, and may be supported by the anodes and deckplate of the cell. The assemblies reduce heat loss and bath vaporization losses, and permit stable operation of the inert anode cell.

A convertible protective top for a vehicle. The top including a retractable canopy and at least two mounting brackets. The canopy includes at least two spaced-apart side members; at least two spaced-apart cross-members, and a cover attached to the cross-members. The cross-members are positioned between and slidably engaged with the side members, wherein the cross-members and cover are moved along the side members to retract the cover. The mounting brackets are attached to a front end and a rear end of the vehicle. Each of the mounting brackets include at least two vertical tubular members for receiving respective ones of the side members for securing the canopy to the vehicle.

A method of stabilizing silica-containing anionic microparticles upon mixing of the silica-containing anionic microparticles with hard water comprising adding one or more hardness-abating additives to the hard water prior to mixing of the hard water and the silica-containing anionic microparticles; or adding an effective stabilizing amount of one or more hardness-abating agents to the silica-containing anionic microparticles prior to mixing of the hard water with the silica-containing anionic microparticles and a stabilized composition comprising silica-containing anionic microparticles and an effective stabilizing amount of one or more hardness-abating additives.
摘要:
A system provides dual independent medication administration clinical safety checks comprising a check upon medication ordering and a check substantially at the time of medication administration. A system checks safety of medication administration to a patient using an input processor for receiving, an identifier identifying a particular medication and an identifier identifying a particular patient. A first safety processor uses the received identifiers in checking for a clinical condition indicative of potentially impaired safety in administering the particular medication to the particular patient. The checking occurs substantially at the time of administering the particular medication to the particular patient. A display generator initiates generation of data representing at least one display image including a message alerting a user to the safety impairment. A second safety processor checks for a clinical condition indicative of potentially impaired safety in administering the particular medication to the particular patient using received information associated with an order prescribing the particular medication is to be administered to the particular patient.

A system automatically updates a patient medication administration schedule in response to a healthcare worker entering data into an information system identifying a time at which a medication was administered to the patient. A medication administration information system comprises a processor for maintaining a schedule identifying a first nominal time for administering a first medication to a patient. The first medication is scheduled for administration to the patient subsequent to administration of a second medication to the patient. The processor updates the schedule by re-calculating the first nominal time for administering the first medication to the patient to provide a re-calculated time in response to received information identifying at least one of, (a) a late administration of the second medication to the patient and (b) an early administration of the second medication to the patient. The late and early administration being relative to a second scheduled nominal time for administering the second medication to the patient. A display generator initiates generation of data representing at least one display image including the re-calculated time for administering the first medication to the patient.

A method of making an inert anode (12′) for use in an electrochemical cell first provides a hollow shaped mold (12) where a metal mandrel (17′) having raised male threads (50) at its top diameter (52) is inserted into the mold (12) and a compressible powder (19, 21) added, then the powder is compressed to form recessed female grooves (70) matching the mandrel threads (50) where the mandrel (17′) is engaged and withdrawn along with the compressed powder inert anode after which the mandrel is rotated to unscrew it from the compressed powder and the compressed powder shape is then placed on a tray (27) and heated to sintering temperature.
摘要:
A system enables a pharmacist to review a Physician initiated medication order prior to the order being entered into a pharmacy order processing system and to enter data identifying a correct product and a pathway of administration and drug vendor, that are compatible with a pharmacy inventory to fulfill the order. A system for use in dispensing medication includes an input processor for receiving data representing a first order to provide a particular medication to a particular patient. A search processor searches an inventory of medications to identify a plurality of candidate medications for the particular medication in response to the received first order. A display generator initiates generation of data representing at least one display image enabling a user to select a particular one of the candidate medications for dispensing. An order processor initiates processing order information to dispense a selected candidate medication in response to a user command entered via the at least one display image.
摘要:
The invention includes apparatus and method for lubricating and cooling a workpiece, dies or ironing rings, and punch at the interface between the workpiece and such dies or ironing rings and punch in forming a workpiece into a hollow closed end cylindrical article.A lubricant liquid phase is injected into a coolant liquid phase to form a "dispersion" prior to application to the metal-tool interface. Providing the lubricant as a dispersion in the coolant liquid phase rather than as an emulsion provides several advantages. The quantity of lubricant and the time of lubricant injection can be varied to control lubricity and, thus, friction. The invention makes it possible to achieve differential friction in the ironing process by having higher lubricity on the ironing die (low friction) and lower lubricity on the punch surface (high friction). Lubricities and cooling are controllable for the specific metal forming process employed to produce closed end hollow body containers. After applicaiton, the lubricant and coolant are separated, the lubricant filtered to remove debris, stored, and then reinjected to provide lubrication for the process.
