Abstract:
A method for producing a non-welded shape memory alloy ring, such as Nitinol, includes a wire segment. The alloy ring may be used in a venting mechanism for rocket motors or as a coupling device, such as for fitting piping.
Abstract:
An electric bellows system for stimulating and igniting a fire includes a funnel. The funnel has a central axis with a circular intake end of a larger diameter and a circular exhaust of a smaller diameter and a tapered region therebetween. The first region is tapered in a convex fashion. The second region diminishes in a concave fashion. A screen covers the intake end of the base region of the funnel. A battery housing comprises a cylindrical tube with a short longitudinal slit therethrough. An axial fan has a central base with an axial bore. The axial fan also has a plurality of blades coupled to the base. A switch is coupled to the tube of the battery housing adjacent the slit.
Abstract:
A control tab on a submarine or the like is angularly displaced by a remote control actuator system featuring a pair of shape-memory cables consist of a superelastic actuating cable connected to the control tab and a force generating thermoelastic cable anchored to the submarine frame. A force transmitting lever interconnects the cables and is selectively locked by a releasable locking mechanism in a position holding the actuating cable fully stretched with the control tab displaced a maximum amount from its neutral position by the displacing force generated in the thermoelastic cable in response to heating thereof by electric current conducted therethrough.
Abstract:
Separate deposits of trona or nahcolite ore are solution mined with two solvents, aqueous sodium hydroxide and aqueous hydrogen chloride. Aqueous sodium carbonate solution is withdrawn from the region of the NaOH-treated ore deposit, for recovery of soda ash. Aqueous sodium chloride brine is withdrawn from the region of the HCl-treated ore deposit and introduced to an electrodialysis cell to regenerate the two solvents and thereby continue the solution mining cycle.
Abstract:
Strontium nitrate is prepared by reacting celestite (strontium sulfate) with excess calcium nitrate in limited amounts of water, quickly extracting strontium nitrate from the reaction mixture by vigorous agitation with additional water, and recovering strontium nitrate by evaporation of the extract solution.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a glass laboratory apparatus that eliminates a pre filter and a provides a simpler vaporizing platform in fluid communication with a fitted disc filter arranged in an exhaust chamber to scrub solids from a gas using water filtration. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a main vessel adapted to hold a volume of a liquid such as water and an inlet conduit with an opening above the liquid level in the main vessel. The inlet conduit includes a vaporizing platform with a platform having four ventilated regions surrounding the platform.
Abstract:
Formula I (Ia and Ib) compounds wherein (i) X1 is N and X2 is S, (ii) X1 is CR7 and X2 is S, (iii) X1 is N and X2 is NR2, or (iv) X1 is CR7 and X2 is O, including stereoisomers, tautomers, metabolites and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are useful for inhibiting the delta isoform of PI3K, and for treating disorders mediated by lipid kinases such as inflammation, immunological, and cancer.
