Nov 6, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/288884

Inventors:

Frank P. Petrek - West Chester OH
Steven J. Shaffer - Columbus OH

Assignee:

Xtek. Inc. - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

B60B 1700

US Classification:

295 1, 2989401, 295 23, 148583

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an all metal, single or dual, flanged composite railroad wheel for rollingly engaging a metal rail. A unitary metal railroad wheel having at least one radially extending wheel flange, for intermittently engaging the side surface of the rail, is provided with a metallic inlaid material having a coefficient of friction lower than the coefficient of friction of the wheels main body. The inlaid low friction material forms an annular band circumscribing the inside surface of the wheels radially extending flange.

International Classification:

F16J 15/40

US Classification:

277347

Abstract:

Seal assemblies are provided. In one embodiment, an example shaft seal assembly comprises an immiscible fluid and a reservoir structure. The immiscible fluid is immiscible with respect to a contained internal fluid in an enclosure with a penetrating shaft. The reservoir structure is disposed in close proximity to the shaft, and the reservoir structure contains the immiscible fluid. The immiscible fluid of the seal assembly provides a fluid barrier to the internal fluid to limit loss of the internal fluid over time.

Abstract:

Aspects for treating spinal cord injuries are disclosed. In a particular aspect, a method includes identifying a neurological level of a spinal cord injury, and activating neurons via laser therapy in which a laser beam is applied to an area proximate to the neurological level. In another aspect, a computer-readable storage medium includes computer-readable instructions for performing various acts. Such acts comprise ascertaining a neurological level of a spinal cord injury, and receiving data corresponding to a severity of the spinal cord injury. The acts further comprise outputting a laser calibration according to the neurological level and the severity. A medical device apparatus is also provided, which includes various computer executable components. The computer executable components include an assessment component configured to receive parameters corresponding to a spinal cord injury, and a calibration component configured to ascertain a laser calibration according to the at least one parameter.

International Classification:

B01F 1100

US Classification:

366108

Abstract:

Test apparatus for microbiological cultures includes a vibrating member for placement thereupon of a vessel, such as a petri dish, containing a microbiological culture medium in the form of a liquid film, whereby vibration of the vessel will tend to equalize the thickness of a film formed by solidification of the medium, thereby promoting accuracy of test results. The apparatus further includes a table for placement thereupon of a plurality of vessels containing cultures, the table having a plurality of guides for use in accommodating vessels after removal from the vibrating members. Ramps are disposed on the table adjacent the vibrating members to guide the vessels to the desired position on the vibrating members and to elevate the covers of the vessels so that vibration can occur in a vertical as well as horizontal mode, thereby fostering the desired equalization of the thickness of the culture film in the vessel. A method for obtaining a layer of substantially uniform thickness from a liquid material includes the step of subjecting the liquid material to vibration during solidification.
