A vented closure is provided for use on a liquid container. The body of the closure (16) includes a dispensing port and a vent (28) extending therethrough with the vent adjacent the dispensing port (26). The tube (32) extends through the dispensing port (26) and has a flange (38) extending laterally therefrom, engaging the outer surface (20) of the closure body. A flexible seal (40) member is positioned on the tube (32), spaced from the inner surface (28) and having a frusto-conical shape where the inner end (40a) of the member is formed at the tube (32). The outer end (40b) is spaced away from the tube (32) and engages the inner surface (28) of the closure body (16), forming a hollow area (41) between the member (40) and the tube (32). The flexible seal member (40) is movable radially away from the tube (32) and away from the inner surface (28) to the inflow of air through the vent and over the flexible seal member (40).

摘要:
The purpose of quartz homeotypes grown epitaxially on beta quartz for use in pressure sensors or accelerometers is to be able to drastically cut down production costs on otherwise expensive or time-consuming to grow crystals that are necessary in various industrial applications. This is done via epitaxial growth of quartz homeotypes across the whole surface of a sample of beta quartz, an easily accessible and high temperature capable crystal. This invention also applies to the epitaxial application of piezoelectric material atop a piezoelectric crystal for the purpose of altering its piezoelectric coefficient and the epitaxial application of a piezoelectric crystal atop a host crystal for the purpose of increasing its insulation resistance.

The purpose of diffusion assisted crystal hydrothermal growth is to facilitate a greatly increased crystal growth rate that would save time that is precious in such a material and manpower costly process. The assisted crystal growth itself requires the utilization of a piezoelectric shaker connected to the autoclave in which most industrial hydrothermal crystals are grown. The waveform can be modulated to induce transport of nutrient in a singular direction, customized to the topology of the apparatus. As it stands currently, the growth of most crystals that require autoclaves for their production can take anywhere from 3 months to up to 2 years, and accordingly carries many costs, particularly electricity and supervision of the autoclave(s), and other issues that may arise during the growth. While the product of this labor results in high-quality crystals, in reality, these are not at all what is needed outside of the laboratory environment. Using the assisted crystal hydrothermal growth process, average crystal growth can be cut in half, with the resulting crystals consequently being of a slightly lower quality, though still sufficient for most engineering purposes. Another advantage of using a piezoelectric shaker is that an additional sensor can be added to the autoclave to monitor the health of the autoclave using trending data obtained during the growth.

A system generates a customized application data structure for modeling physical systems. The system includes a processor, an input device, optionally a display device, and a memory device. The processor is adapted to embed a multiphysics model data structure in the application data structure. The multiphysics model data structure comprises a representation of models of physical systems. Geometry data representing geometry subroutines and call data representing geometry subroutine calls are added to the embedded multiphysics model data structure. Data representing application features are added to the application data structure. Each application feature comprises one or more of (i) first data representing a form feature, or (ii) second data representing an action feature. A customized application data structure is generated providing a customized modeling of the physical systems using a modeling operation, a geometry of the one or more models of physical systems, an application feature, and a geometry subroutine.
摘要:
A wearable wound simulant including a skin replica having the appearance of a particular region of the human body, examples including but not limited to a leg, arm, torso, or stomach, and a wound disposed along the skin replica is described. The skin replica includes a plurality of bendable layers arranged to replicate the visual and tactile properties of human tissues and at least one tear resistant layer comprised of a fabric material disposed between two bendable layers. The tear resistant layers are less stretchable than the bendable layers so as to prevent the bendable layers from stretching beyond their failure threshold. Design elements of the present invention facilitate the visual, tactile, and functional aspects of a battlefield wound so as to allow for the diagnosis of injuries associated therewith. Furthermore, the present invention allows for the insertion of a needle or the like, the probing and/or packing of wounds, the compression of vascular simulants to stop or limit blood loss, and the replacement of dislodged organs.

A lightning-protected conductive composite fuel tank includes a conductive material arrayed on an outer surface to at least partially cover a fastener centerline. Through holes extend along the fastener centerline through the conductive material and the underlying fuel tank shell. These through holes are countersunk into the fuel tank shell to a depth such that a fastener in a through hole will avoid electrical continuity or communication with the conductive material on the fuel tank outer surface. The gap in the countersunk through holes, between the fastener heads and the coextensive outer surface of the fuel tank, is filled with a dielectric or nonconductive material.

The present invention discloses an economical and disposable cleaning tool which may be prepared by a simplified manufacturing process involving a reduced number of steps. The cleaning tool comprises a cleaning pad and an implementing means, the cleaning pad having a pocket for receiving the implementing means. The cleaning pad may be provided with a top sheet and a fiber bundle. The top sheet is folded over and bonded to provide a cleaning portion and a back portion, and the fiber bundle is disposed on the cleaning portion. The cleaning portion and the back portion of the folded sheet are bonded together forming the pocket for a handle to be disposed therein. The handle may include a hinge to enable the handle to be repeatedly folded over for convenient storage or easily extended for use.
