20080236064 | Tactile tile with improved reinforced embedment plate - Disclosed is an embedment tile for producing a tactilely detectable surface in a moldable material and method for using same. The tile comprises a tile member having a pattern of upwardly extending projections on its upper surface forming a tactilely detectable pattern, and a cross beam joined to the lower surface of the tile member. The cross beam defines a hollow chamber and apertures to allow for the release of air and inflow of moldable material to secure the embedment tile when the moldable material hardens. The cross beam can define a lower open portion at a cross beam end portion that eases installation by permitting a more direct flow path into the chamber for moldable material. The embedment tile can also include a reinforcing member joined to the lower surface of the tile member and/or a transverse reinforcing member joined to a lower surface of the tile member. | 10-02-2008 |

20100270990 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR GENERATING CURRENT - The invention relates to power supplies where the output current is controllable. In prior art, there is a problem to provide both high rate of change in the current output and high efficiency. The solution of the present invention is based on combining current elements, whereby the current is controlled by switching the outputs of the current elements. The current elements can be implemented with e.g. buck converters, whereby the power dissipation is small. | 10-28-2010 |

20090065103 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED FORMABILITY OF GALVANIZED STEEL HAVING HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH - The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus of producing a dual-phase galvanized steel strip with improved formability while maintaining a high tensile strength. The present invention comprises a step of cooling and a step of reheating. In the cooling step, the galvanized steel strip has a temperature reduction of from about 300° C. to about 150° C.-250° C. This step of cooling should cool to a maximum extent of about 150° C. different between the initial temperature and the final temperature. This cooling may be accomplished by a hot water quench, or the use of a cooling tower, or other means. The step of reheating should follow the step of cooling. The step of reheating should heat the galvanized steel strip to a temperature of about 340°-390° C. This reheating causes the martensite in the galvanized steel strip to be tempered at a relatively low temperature, which reduces the Fe—Zn phase formation in the GI-coating. | 03-12-2009 |
