A one-piece integral multi-durometer scraper blade for a conveyor belt cleaner. The scraper blade includes a body extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end and extending transversely between a base and a tip. The body includes a first body portion comprising a first elastomeric material having a first durometer of hardness, and a second body portion comprising a second elastomeric material having a second durometer of hardness. The body also includes a transition portion loca...

Pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of infant respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury (including adult respiratory distress syndrome) which contains C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) and lung surfactant which comprises a lung surfactant protein.

Method and apparatus for controlling an injection molding machine having a first surface and a second surface includes a piezo-ceramic sensor configured to be disposed between the first surface and a second surface. The piezo-ceramic sensor is configured to sense a force between the first surface and the second surface, and to generate corresponding sense signals. Transmission structure is coupled to the piezo-ceramic sensor and is configured to carry the sense signals. Preferably, a piezo-ceram...

The present invention provides a Cu--Be based amorphous alloy comprising an amorphous phase of 50% or more by volume fraction. This alloy has a composition represented by the following formula: Cu.sub.100-a-bBe.sub.a(Zr.sub.1-x-yHf.sub.xTi.sub.y).sub.b. In the formula, "a" and "b" represent atomic percentages which are 0<a.ltoreq.20 and 20.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.40, and "x" and "y" represent atomic fractions which are 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1 and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.8. The alloy may contain a small amoun...

Limp home control methods are provided for situations of a disconnected battery power line. Preferred methods may comprise steps of: determining whether a battery voltage (V_EL) provided to an Engine Control Unit (ECU) via a main relay is less than or equal to a first standard value; correcting vehicle control factors according to the battery voltage (V_EL), if the battery voltage (V_EL) provided to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) via the main relay is larger than the first standard value; determi...

A power driver includes a motor and a spindle having a distal end thereof opposite the motor. The distal end has an axial bore formed therein. A gear assembly is disposed operatively between the motor and the spindle so that the motor rotationally drives the spindle through the gear assembly. A grip is mounted in the spindle in communication with the axial bore. A driver is mounted about the spindle in operative communication with the grip so that activation of the driver in a closing direction ...

Improved bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy compositions and methods of making and casting such compositions are provided. The improved bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys are preferably subjected to a superheating treatment and subsequently are cast into articles with high elastic limit. The invention allows use of lower purity raw-materials, and as such effectively reduces the overall cost of the final articles. Furthermore, the invention provides for the casting of new alloys into shapes at lower...

This invention provides a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) downhole assembly for use in drilling boreholes which utilizes directional formation evaluation devices on a rotating assembly in conjunction with toolface orientation sensors. The data from the toolface orientation sensors are analyzed by a processor and toolface angle measurements are determined at defined intervals. Formation evaluation sensors operate substantially independently of the toolface orientation sensors and measurements of...

A drill comprising: a power head having a first chuck positioned on a first end and a second chuck positioned on an opposite second end of the power head; a handle attached to the power head, the handle having a trigger switch for controlling a drive motor coupled to the first and second chucks.

A method of manufacturing a plastics material bellows, wherein a preform is made by molding plastics material in a mold, the mold having preferred deformation zones, and then before the part has completely left the mold, the bellows is formed by folding the preform in the preferred deformation zones, with the resulting bellows being open at both ends.
