In general, the basic material forming the wound dressing, covering, and / or application system of the present invention for use in blood coagulation comprises a combination of one or more components selected from the group consisting of clay materials, a molecular sieve material, principally zeolite, and inorganic oxide materials. Although the actual process which enables the wound dressing, covering, and / or application system of the present invention to effectively coagulate flowing blood is unknown, it is believed that the molecular sieve material selectively absorbs small molecules, such as water, from the blood. Due to the absorption of the water molecules, it is believed that the rate of blood clotting is increased.

An apparatus and / or method that corrects for tuning errors in vibrating structure gyroscopes that are configured to be driven along a plurality of axes without the need for dedicated torque elements. The correction is accomplished by introducing a phase offset in the drive signal of one or more of the drive elements relative to other drive elements to minimize or reduce the quadrature signal. The tuning may be accomplished as a one time “set and forget” adjustment, as a manual adjustment performed at the discretion of the user, or as a closed loop active correction system. The technique improves the tuning of the resonator assembly, rather than merely compensating for the mistuning. Accordingly, for various embodiments of the invention, the destructive interference between the plurality of drive axes is reduced. Conservation of vibrational energy present in the resonator is thus enhanced, with less vibrational energy transferred to the support structure.

In order to realize a practical data warehouse system with the use of a network in a distributed environment, for example, data collectors for creating / managing each replica of server data for clients shown in FIG. 1 are connected to a network. A data collector holds a data request condition given from a user via a client and negotiates with a server which supplies data according to such resources as a storage unit, a CPU, etc., usable by the data collector, thereby the range and quality of the data for which a replica is to be created can be adjusted. For query processing, a part or the whole of a query from a client is processed with the use of a replica created in the data collector. Queries which cannot be processed with any replica in the data collector are transferred to the server. Because a replica created in the data collector can be used to process a query from a client in such a way, the server load can be reduced.

A perpendicular magnetic recording head includes a read part disposed on a substrate to read magnetic recording information from a recording medium by a magnetoresistance effect; a write part disposed above the read part to record magnetic information on the recording medium by applying a perpendicular magnetic field, and including a write coil; a heating element disposed between the write coil and the read part; and a heat-dissipating layer disposed between the write coil and the heating element. The heating element generates heat when supplied with current so that the read part is thermally expanded to protrude toward the recording medium. The heat-dissipating layer has a heat dissipation effect.

A floating barrel gun design, a design in which a propellant gas discharge is used to counterbalance the recoil force of the gun, has been improved to include a novel automatic mechanical mechanism which allows the floating or inner barrel to be held stationary within the gun while the gas is discharged and after the discharge is complete, the barrel is released to return to its pre-actuation position. The discharge of gas is also made safer by an automatic mechanical mechanism for venting the accumulated gas, and this mechanism is activated as the projectile leaves the gun. The mechanism requires that the gas be discharged into the interior of the gun and the recoil-countering gas streams be directed toward a rearward moving breech block. The gas is discharged automatically during the firing cycle, as the firing chamber pressure falls upon the projectile exit, by venting the compressed gas through passageway nozzles which proceed through the annulus of the floating barrel and are controlled by rotatable metal plates. The discharged gas ultimately exits the gun through spaces in the outer barrel which open to the gas as the breech block moves rearward. To explain the invention, the operating of a handgun is described as the preferred embodiment. The handgun is a result of an integration of the ideas concerning a floating barrel delivery system with conventional ballistic designs.

A bariatric transport is provided. The transport includes a bed area for use by a bariatric patient. The transport further includes a drive assembly that is operable to selectively drive the transport in forward and rearward directions and permit turning of the transport with little or no lateral movement of the transport. Leading and trailing stabilizing wheel assemblies are provided that are selectively moveable into and out of engagement with a supporting floor. Drive devices are also provided to provide selective elevating and lowering of various components of bariatric patient supports.

An open-cycle engine in which rotary power is produced by the pressure of hot gasses against confined, rotating vanes.
