    Abstract: A multilayer valve subassembly (50) comprises an interface layer (60) having an interface layer flap (62, 64); a cover layer (70) having a cover layer flap (72, 74); and, an intermediate layer (80) positioned between the interface layer and the cover layer. The intermediate layer (80) has an intermediate layer flap (82, 84) essentially aligned with the interface layer flap and the cover layer flap. A first bond (102) adheres the cover layer (70) to the interface layer (60); a flap bond (92, 94) seals the interface layer flap (82, 84) between the cover layer flap (72, 74) and the interface layer flap (62, 64) and thereby forms a multilayer valve flap (52, 54) which is insulated from fluid which travels through the valve. In an example embodiment, the each of the interface layer flap, the cover layer flap, and the interface layer flap has a substantially U-shape. Preferably the interface layer is not in contact with the first bond or the second bond and has a size that permits the interface layer to float in a sandwich pocket formed between the interface layer and the cover layer.

    Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the tilt angle of slats of a slat blind positioned between the panes of glass of a sealed window unit is described. The mechanism is sealed about an aperture through one of the panes and includes a flexible cable within a flexible tube extending from the mechanism to the control mechanism for the blind. The flexible tube maintains the window seal and the cable enables torque to be transmitted from the mechanism to the tilt control mechanism of the blind, thereby allowing direct external mechanical control of the tilt angle of the slats without breaking the hermetic seal for the window.

    Abstract: A medical information communication system and corresponding methods are described. The system can permit monitoring the performance of an implantable medical device (IMD) implanted within a body of a patient, monitoring the health of the patient, and/or remotely delivering a therapy to the patient through the IMD. The IMD can be capable of bidirectional communication with a clinician. Further, the system can comprise a communication availability indicator to indicate whether the IMD is available for communication.

    Abstract: A method of forming or treating an article or preform (10) and an article or preform made according to the method are provided. The method includes the step of providing around at least part of the article or preform (10) a generally tubular element (14) whose effective cross-section tends to reduce on extension, and applying an extension load to the tubular element (14) thereby to apply a compression load to the exterior of the article or preform to aid consolidation thereof.

    Abstract: Thermal exchange systems integrate a thermal transfer unit (22); a fluid cooling assembly (24); a pump (26); and a fan (28). The thermal transfer unit (22) interfaces with a body to be thermally conditioned and transfers thermal energy to a fluid. The fluid cooling assembly (24) cools the fluid obtained from the thermal transfer unit. The fan (28) directs air around the fluid cooling assembly (24). The pump (26) circulates fluid in a circuit comprising the pump (26), the fluid cooling assembly (2), and the thermal transfer unit (22). In one aspect of integrated system technology, the fan (28) and the circuit are compactly arranged and substantially situated entirely within a footprint (33) of a module housing (30). As another technological aspect, the fluid cooling assembly (24) comprises plural thermal dissipation plates (45) which are laminated together. In an example, non-limiting mode, the plural thermal dissipation plates (45) have features formed thereon by etching or stamping. Such features which may be etched or stamped can include one or more of an aperture (53/64) for defining a fluid inlet channel; a fluid return aperture (55); a thermal dissipation fin (67); a fluid return region (65) which is substantially surrounded by a lamination contact surface through which the thermal dissipation plate (45) is in contact with an adjacent thermal dissipation plate.
