| 20110156321 | Method and Apparatus for the Production of Fine Fibres - A method and apparatus provided for the production of fine fibres by electrospinning fibres by applying an electrical field between a primary electrode and a counter electrode ( | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110247311 | YARN AND A PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURE THEREOF - A yarn spun from a plurality of nano-fibres is provided and is characterized in that at least some of the nano-fibres are folded with the folds occurring at predeterminable distances which are integer multiples of a specific spacing. The folds result from spinning the nano-fibres onto a plurality of moving conductive strips which are inclined to their direction of movement. A process and apparatus for producing such yarn is also provided. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20100016983 | HIP PROTECTOR IMPLANT - An implant system is described to decrease the risk of hip fracture in humans determined to be at increased risk for hip fracture, over a time span well over several years after implantation. This implant increases the size of the contact area on the proximal femur at the time of a fall, decreasing contact pressures and contact stresses. The implant may be able to absorb energy on impact or cause an increase of energy absorption by the soft tissues, thus decreasing the energy transfer to the proximal femur at the time of a fall. The implant may also strengthen the proximal femur, while minimizing stress shielding of the surrounding bone. In addition, it minimizes the risk of displacement should fracture occur, thus minimizing the risk of formal fracture surgery. The method of application minimizes risks associated with initial application of the implant. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20080285230 | Electronic Unit with Sealed Coolant Passage - To improve coolant sealing or reduce the risks in the event of leakage for an electronic unit, e.g. an engine control unit, containing electric and/or electronic components which are disposed on an upper side of a thermally conductive electronic base plate and thermally coupled to the base plate, the base plate in turn being thermally coupled to a coolant passage, there is provided a particular configuration and arrangement of the components delimiting a coolant passage. Advantageously, the underside of the base plate can come into direct contact with a coolant (“direct cooling”). By making a ridge running in an annularly closed manner and being formed in one-piece with the base plate, coolant escaping from the coolant passage is prevented from passing directly to the underside of the base plate. Accordingly, the coolant passage may be sealed by a “double sealing arrangement” on the underside of the base plate. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20110200474 | INTEGRATED PUMP FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS - A swash pump for compressible fluids uses sealing contacts made between the nutatable swash plate and the fixed cone plates to centre and locate the inner swash sphere which slides against two resiliently mounted ring seals only, minimising pump friction. A slanted end of a common drive shaft supporting and turned by the rotor of an integrated, variable speed motor causes nutation of the sphere. All bearings, especially axially slidable roller bearings inside the sphere, may settle in position with respect to the common shaft for least frictional loss. This pump is also adapted for pumping explosive gases. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20100162929 | RECONFIGURABLE BLAST RESISTANT BUILDING - A reconfigurable blast resistant building is disclosed. Shear walls are stationed at the ends of the building to provide rigid support. Intermediate removable panels are detachably attached in seriatim between the shear walls. Each intermediate panel comprises a blast-resistant body having a front wall and a pair of side walls. One of the side walls has an outwardly extending flange, and the other side wall has an inwardly extending flange for abutting against the outwardly extending flange of an adjacent panel to cover the joint between the two panels and protect the inside of the building from being directly exposed to a blast force. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20080238040 | Ski or Snowboard Having Improved Torsional Rigidity - A ski or snowboard having improved the transmission of forces from a binding mounting area to the respective edge of a ski or snowboard is disclosed. Such a ski or snowboard comprises a gliding surface with the associated edges as well as a lower support comprising a number of support layers over which a core with its associated lateral flanks is built. Over the core, a support is arranged in a uniform and relief-like manner that is constructed as a uniform whole from the shaped flat material, for example from laminate or in principle also from shaped sheet metal, or a plate or laminate or a similar flat semi-finished product of metallic or non-metallic material. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20100047760 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING PERFORMANCE BASED EMULATION TESTING - A computer system and method may include a processor instantiating a test scenario that includes a description of a stem that defines a context and at least one task to be performed in accordance with the context and via interaction with at least one target application; providing an interface to an instance of the at least one target application for the interaction; executing one or more stored evaluation queries to check a status of the instance of the at least one target application and record one or more binary values based on the status; and executing one or more stored scoring expressions to generate and output a score, the scoring expression defining a function having input parameters that are based on the one or more binary values. The processor may further provide an authoring environment in which to define the test scenario, evaluation queries, and scoring expressions. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20080223967 | Enhanced ore communication process and apparatus - A method and apparatus for comminuting particulate material by interparticle comminution in a bed of particles are disclosed. The apparatus includes a vertical roller mill with a horizontal grinding table rotating about a vertical mill axis. At least one grinding roller presses resiliently against a bed of particulate material on the grinding track and applies a compressive force. The geometry of the mill is such that the roller engages the bed of particulate material with a substantially pure rolling action. This minimizes shear forces applied to the particle bed and minimizes the reduction of fines. | 09-18-2008 |
