  • Patent number: 8665055
    Abstract: The invention discloses a soft magnetic amorphous alloy and a soft magnetic nanocomposite alloy formed from the amorphous alloy. Both alloys comprise a composition expressed by the following formula: (Fe1-x-yCoxMy)100-a-b-cTaBbNc where, M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni and Mn; T is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, W, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti, Cr, Cu, Mo, V and combinations thereof, and the content of Cu when present is less than or equal to 2 atomic %; N is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, C, P and Al; and 0.01?x+y?0.5; 0?y?0.4; 1?a?5 atomic %; 10?b?30 atomic %; and 0?c?10 atomic %. A core, which may be used in transformers and wire coils, is made by charging a furnace with elements necessary to form the amorphous alloy, rapidly quenching the alloy, forming a core from the alloy; and heating the core in the presence of a magnetic field to form the nanocomposite alloy.

  • Publication number: 20130000040
    Abstract: A reclining mobility chair comprising a bed including a front end and a back end, a seat cushion resting above a central portion of the bed. The reclining mobility chair includes a back support attached to move from a horizontal position to a vertical position. Further elements include a set of lifts affixed beneath the bed, to raise and lower the bed, a housing attached beneath the set of lifts, where the housing controls the reclining mobility chair to move into a plurality of positions, and a set of wheels attached to said housing. Finally the reclining mobility chair includes a commode opening positioned within a central portion of the bed, beneath the seat cushion, and a commode attached beneath the commode opening wherein the commode enables the user to pass bodily fluids while seated upon the reclining mobility chair.
