摘要:
The present invention prolongs the biocidal activity of hydrated lime in a paint or coating by using a sufficient amount of a binder in the paint or coating to block carbon dioxide from reacting with the hydrated lime while still producing a coating that is durable and adhesive upon drying and not unduly friable due to the amount of hydrated lime in said coating.

Devices, systems, methods and kits are provided for delivering interventional devices to a target location with a body. Such interventional devices particularly include fixation devices or any devices which approximate tissue, such as valve leaflets. The delivery devices and systems direct the interventional device to the target location through a minimally invasive approach, such as through the patient's vasculature, and provide for manipulation of the interventional device at the target location, such as to approximate tissue. Optionally, the delivery devices and systems may provide for decoupling of the interventional device, allowing the interventional device to be left behind as an implant.

Disclosed herein is an articulated guidewire for insertion into a blood vessel. The articulated guidewire includes a rotatable sensor cable, a sensor, a connector, and a satellite wire. The sensor cable has a proximal end and a distal end. A sensor connects to the sensor cable near the distal end and rotates with the sensor cable. The satellite wire attaches to the distal end of the sensor cable and holds the sensor cable in the blood vessel. The connector includes a ball and socket joint which aligns the satellite wire and the sensor cable at a variable angle.

A monitored inline hard water processing assembly for conditioning hard water includes a cannister, which is cathodic, a disc, and a rod, which is anodic. The disc is removably couplable to a top of the cannister. The disc has a pair of channels positioned therethrough, each of which is in fluidic communication with an interior space defined by the cannister. The rod is removably couplable to the disc so that the rod is electrically insulated from the disc and extends into the interior space. A monitoring unit, which is electrically coupled to the cannister and the rod, is operationally couplable to a source of electrical current to provide a flow of direct current through the rod, the cannister, and water flowing therethrough. The monitoring unit comprises an indicator, which can indicate at least two resistance states of the rod.

Systems and methods for the automatic recognition of playing cards for casino-type card games. The systems include an automatic card-recognition system, an electronic card data processor or processors which allow automatic collection, storage and hand ranking of historic and current card and player information, and statistical entry, analysis and retrieval systems. When used in the television industry, the invention provides multiple graphics generator interfaces, allowing television broadcasters to immediately generate and display computer-generated graphics detailing current hand and potential win percentage information, as well as historical or summary graphics information, for use in a live or post-produced television broadcast.
摘要:
A multi-part automotive wheel comprises first and second wheel discs having first and second mating surfaces, respectively, where the first and second discs are to be joined to each other. An annular radial groove is disposed on one of the first and second surfaces for receiving an O-ring for sealing the first surface in respect of the second surface. The groove includes a substantially radial basewall and first and second sidewalls which extend from the basewall toward an intermediate section and from the section toward both edges of the groove, the edges defining a radial groove opening which is smaller than a distance between the sidewalls at the section such that an O-ring having a larger cross-sectional diameter larger than the opening will be retained within the groove prior to the discs being joined together. The basewall merges with the first and second sidewalls with rounded corners to reduce concentration of stress at the corners.
摘要:
A replacement wheel, wheel disc or object is adapted to substantially replicate a mounting pad pattern of a wheel, wheel disc or object to be replaced. An annular arrangement of raised mounting pads provides a pattern of mounting pads proximate a circle of a given diameter to substantially replicate the mounting pad pattern of the to-be-replaced wheel disc or objects Mounting pads may be provided on an annular member having an inner diameter less than the given diameter of a circle at which the mounting pad pattern of the to-be-replaced wheel disc or object is located and having an outer diameter greater than the given diameter. Mounting pads may be provided by inserts.
