Abstract: An electric motor comprising a stator of the type having polar expansions of the wound type, a rotor chamber defined by a sealed case, closed by a sealing ring, a permanent magnet rotor, housed inside the rotor chamber and a shaft connected to the rotor. The electric motor comprises a valve which allows outflow of fluid from said rotor chamber; the valve is formed by a through bore provided on the sealing ring and an opposing wall for closing the bore; the wall is provided in a wall of a sealing ring holding disc which is form coupled to the sealing ring.

Abstract: For the packaging of consumables and feed stuffs, which are to be protected from oxygen, however emit moisture, a multilayer foil is proposed, which includes at least one blocking layer and one sealing layer. The blocking layer is characterized by a high barrier function for gas, in particular oxygen, and a good water vapor permeability. The sealing layer ensures good sealing characteristics and a high water vapor permeability.

Abstract: When the distribution of the pressure applied to a mat is measured, a plurality of detection units is established in the air mat and the sensor for measuring the pressure applied to the air mat is needed to be provided for each detection unit. The mat for pressure measurement 2 is arranged the first medium accommodation object 21b on the right side and the second medium accommodation object 22b on the left side. The first connecting pipeline 21a is connected to the first medium accommodation object 21b and the second connecting pipeline 22a is connected to the second medium accommodation object 22b, respectively.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for seamless handover of mobile devices in heterogeneous networks.

Abstract: A turbine engine system and a method for using the turbine engine system that includes at least one low-pressure compressor, at least one high-pressure compressor, at least one low-pressure turbine, and at least one high-pressure turbine. In addition, the turbine engine system includes an absorption refrigeration system that is used to pre-cool an air-gas mixture before it enters the high-pressure compressor. As such, the pre-cooled mixture is easier to compress, thereby increasing the thermal efficiency of the turbine engine. Additionally, the exhaust heat from the air-gas mixture that is pre-cooled may be used to drive the absorption refrigeration system. Lastly, water, may be extracted from the evaporator of the absorption refrigeration cycle.

Abstract: A seat back hinge fitting for a motor vehicle seat having a seat carrier and a seat back. The seat back hinge fitting has a lower arm that is rigidly fixed to the seat carrier, an upper arm that is rigidly fixed to the seat back and a forward tilting hinge for swiftly tilting the seat back forward from a position of normal utilization into a forward tilted position. A bearing hole is provided for in one of the two arms. A bearing is pivotally disposed within said bearing hole. A locking device that normally locks a pivot movement of the bearing within the bearing hole is provided. A release means that disengages the locking device when actuated for the purpose of tilting the seat back forward into the forward tilted position is assigned to the locking device.

Abstract: An acceleration switch that improves detection sensitivity without being enlarged. The acceleration switch includes a switch body, a fixed electrode arranged in the switch body, and a movable weight arranged in the switch body. The movable weight is displaced when subjected to acceleration. The movable weight includes a movable electrode that contacts the fixed electrode when the movable weight is displaced, and a pair of beams connecting the movable weight and the switch body. The beams pivotally support the movable weight and extend into recesses formed in the movable weight.

Abstract: Luggage for carrying clothing, accessories and the like when traveling includes an adjustable packing board having first and second panels that are joined together between first and second luggage attachment ends. A pair of drawstrings are fixed at bottom ends to opposite ends of a luggage bottom and slidably connected to the attachment ends of the panels. The drawstrings can be loosened and tightened to move the packing board away from and toward the luggage bottom. The first and second panels can be separated and swung away from each other. These features allow the packing board to be moved out of the way when packing and unpacking the luggage. The packing board may also include detachable and fixed zippered compartments for containing travel items.

Abstract: A process for producing carbon foam or a composite is disclosed which obviates the need for conventional oxidative stabilization. The process employs mesophase or isotropic pitch and a simplified process using a single mold. The foam has a relatively uniform distribution of pore sizes and a highly aligned graphic structure in the struts. The foam material can be made into a composite which is useful in high temperature sandwich panels for both thermal and structural applications.

Abstract: A hair styling device for twirling locks of hair together including a main body, and at least two hair grabbers for respectively grabbing separate locks of hair. Each of the hair grabbers is connected to respective hair twisters, and each of the hair twisters rotates respective locks of hair to form twists of hair. The device further comprises a hair twist rotator body connected to each of the hair grabbers. The hair twist rotator body is connected to and rotatable relative to the main body. Rotation of the hair twist rotator body cables the twists of hair to form a cord of hair. The hair grabbers are substantially stationary relative to the hair twist rotator when the hair twist rotator rotates relative to the main body.

Abstract: A fluid transfer system includes a permeable fluid carrier, a constant temperature source of a first fluid, and a constant pressure source of a second fluid. The fluid carrier has a length, an inlet end, and an outlet end. The constant pressure source connects to the inlet end and communicates the second fluid into the fluid carrier, and the constant temperature source surrounds a least of portion of the length. A mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid exits via the outlet end A method of making a mixture of two fluids is also disclosed.

Abstract: A squeeze type pump that transfers slurry via an elastic tube by squeezing the elastic tube with pairs of rollers to elastically deform the tube by moving each pair of squeezing rollers. The elastic tube has an outer diameter, an inner diameter, and a thickness. A ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is set within a range of 0.56 to 0.72, and the thickness is set within a range of 23 to 35 mm.
