20080223347ENGINE PCV SYSTEM WITH HYDROPHOBIC, OLEOPHOBIC MEMBRANE FOR AIR/OIL SEPARATION - An engine crankcase emission control system for an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder air intake system connected to associated engine cylinders. The system also includes an engine crankcase. A crankcase air outlet connects the crankcase to the cylinder air intake system at a location subject to variable intake vacuum pressures to allow crankcase vapors to be drawn into inlet air passing to the cylinders. A hydrophobic, oleophobic membrane covers the crankcase air outlet. The membrane inhibits the passage of oil and water out of the crankcase through the crankcase air outlet.09-18-2008
20080314572LUBRICATION SYSTEM AND OIL COOLER WITH BYPASS - An oil cooler for an engine or other lubricated mechanism includes a connector through which the oil cooler is connected to an oil supply passage and a return oil passage in an engine crankcase or other supply source. The connector includes a seal face to which inlet and outlet passages from the cooler are connected with oil supply and return passages in a connected mechanism. A continually open oil bypass is provided by forming a groove or slot in the seal face of the oil cooler extending between the inlet and outlet passages of the oil cooler and forming the cooler oil bypass. Alternatively, a bypass may be formed by a slot in a mating engine or mechanism connector connecting with the supply and return oil passages. Using a perimeter gasket between mating connectors can increase the bypass oil flow by the area of the clearance within the gasket opening created by the thickness of the gasket.12-25-2008

20090218011METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCT - The invention relates to a method for making a thin finished product to be formed by deformation that combines strength with resistance to a highly corrosive environment. The method comprises forming a sheet of stainless steel with a microstructure consisting predominantly of ferrite, austenite, martensite or a mixture thereof, with a thickness of less than 3 mm, to a three dimensional semi finished product, treating said semi finished product with a nitrogen-containing atmosphere at a temperature of between 1000° C. and 1200° C. during a time and under a nitrogen pressure, sufficient to saturate the product through the thickness with a nitrogen content between a lower limit of 0.3 wt % and an upper limit that is provided by the beginning of nitride separation, cooling down said product at such a rate and nitrogen pressure that nitride separation is avoided, and subsequently machining the nitrogen saturated semi- finished product to the finished product. The invention further relates to a rotary shaving assembly prepared by the method of the invention.09-03-2009

20120095534ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING SLEEP INERTIA OR CONTROLLING ALERTNESS - The invention relates to a method and an illumination device arranged for reducing sleep inertia and/or for controlling alertness of a human being. The illumination device is arranged for reducing sleep inertia and/or controlling alertness by light radiation. The illumination device comprises one or more light sources for generating a first illumination output and a second illumination output. The first illumination output comprises light with a dominant wavelength in the range of 590-770 nm. The second illumination output comprises light with a dominant wavelength in the range of 400-560 nm Thus, colored light is used. Alternatively, the first illumination output comprises white light with a color temperature below 4100 K, i.e. warm white light. The second color temperature then comprises white light with a color temperature above 4900 K. The illumination device comprises a controller configured for controlling the one or more light sources to expose said eye of said human being to the first illumination output during a first time interval and to the second illumination output during a second time interval. The second time interval terminates at a later point in time than the first time interval. The time intervals are selected such that at least one of the first and second time interval is less than 60 seconds.04-19-2012
