A system and method for controlling the heat of an ultrasonic transducer is disclosed. In the presently preferred embodiments, the system and method controls the temperature of the transducer by changing operating system parameters based on feedback from temperature sensing elements placed in the transducer. The chosen mutable system parameters may be preset by the construction of the ultrasonic system, under the control of the ultrasonic system user, or a combination of the two. In several exemplary embodiments, the one or more mutable system parameters are altered by an amount proportionate to the difference between the current temperature and a preferred operating temperature. In another exemplary embodiment, the system switches to a lower power imaging mode when the temperature feedback indicates a threshold temperature has been reached.

A system 30 and method(s) 100 for thermal treatment of a selected target within a subject is disclosed. System 30 includes RF source 10, phase shifter 14, impedance matching network 11 and resonator 13. Applicator 3 conveys output signal 17 from energy source 10 through surface 6 of biological tissue 4 to predetermined energy dissipation zone 5 after output 17 has been processed by the phase shifter 14, IMN 11 and resonator 13. Stationary water molecules 1, such as those in fat cells, are heated. System 30 is operative to heat a volume of biological tissue beneath the biological tissue surface 6 such that surface 6 of biological tissue 4 is maintained at a lower temperature than predetermined energy dissipation zone 5 without a cooling device. The invention is useful in selective heating of cellulite bodies as a means of treating cellulite.

A lithium ion electrochemical cell having high charge / discharge capacity, long cycle life and exhibiting a reduced first cycle irreversible capacity, is described. The stated benefits are realized by the addition of at least one phosphate additive to an electrolyte comprising an alkali metal salt dissolved in a solvent mixture that includes ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, ethylmethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate. The preferred additive is an alkyl phosphate compound.

A method of cutting tissue material of biology origin employs a plotted water-jet or RF cutting system. The cutting system is computer controlled and includes a water-jet or RF cutting means combined with a motion system. The cutting energy is selected so that communication of thermal energy into the segment beyond the edge is minimized to avoid damaging the segment adjacent the edge.

A process for economically producing 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane under conditions which preserve the activity of the catalyst. In a preferred embodiment, a two-stage distillation process is employed. In the two-stage process, the size of the equipment, temperature and vacuum are varied.

A protective sleeve structure for a portable electric product mainly comprises a protective sleeve. The protective sleeve includes a first body and a second body. A sticking-layer is paved on each bottom surface of the first body and the second body, and a zipper is sewn on the both rims of the first body and the second body so the protective sleeve can be opened and closed by the zipper. The top end of support-plate links with the top end of the second body, and the bottom portion of the support-plate is sewn on at least one or more Velcro. When the user does not want to operate the electric product, the Velcro of the support-plate sticks with the sticking-layer of the second body thus the support-plate is laid on the bottom surface of the second body flatly not to affect the placement of the electric product, thus the user can place the electric product in the protective sleeve as a carryon. When the user does want to operate the electric product, the Velcro on the bottom end of the support-plate sticks with the sticking-layer of the bottom surface of the first body 11 to have the support-plate being inclined so the electric product can be leaned on the support-plate. Hence the user can operate the electric product anytime and anywhere.

Method for processing an article comprising a mixed conducting metal oxide material, which method comprises (a) contacting the article with an oxygen-containing gas and reducing or increasing the temperature of the oxygen-containing gas; (b) when the temperature of the oxygen-containing gas is reduced, reducing the oxygen activity in the oxygen-containing gas; and (c) when the temperature of the oxygen-containing gas is increased, increasing the oxygen activity in the oxygen-containing gas.

Disclosed is a fragranced wax candle and fragranced wax composition comprising paraffin wax, a fragrance containing an antioxidant, with or without vegetable wax and / or beeswax, saturated fatty acid, hindered amine, and an additive. Also disclosed is a method for incorporating an antioxidant into the fragranced candle wax composition.
