A novel lamination that consists of aluminum heat spreader plates interspersed with a polymer-based thermal energy storage composite is described. The composite consists of a thermoplastic matrix that encapsulates paraffin such that it is immobilized when in the liquid phase. As a consequence, the thermal energy storage/release process is independent of g-loading or orientation. Composites with...

The VeriSpreader radiation detection system will monitor every container passing through a shipping terminal without impeding the flow of commerce by making the radiation measurements during normal container handling. This is accomplished by integrating neutron and spectroscopic gamma ray detectors into a container crane spreader bar, the part of the crane that directly engages the intermodal s...

Dorsal hump reduction can create both functional and aesthetic problems if performed incorrectly. Component dorsal hump reduction allows a graduated approach to the correction of the nasal dorsum by emphasizing the integrity of the upper lateral cartilages when performing dorsal reduction. Use of this approach can minimize the need for spreader grafts in primary rhinoplasty patients. Possible u...

background although the assignment and suturing of the spreader graft to the septum is a routine part of rhinoplasty, it is a time wasting procedure and some problems may occur. rather, autospreader flap is a new method that the dorsal part of the upper lateral cartilage is used as its own graft. in the present study, we intended to compare the functional and aesthetic outcomes of these two tec...

The use of geothermal resources for space heating dominates the direct use industry with approximately 37% of all direct use development. Of this, 75% is provided by district heating systems. In fact, the earliest known commercial use of geothermal energy was in Chaudes-Aigues Cantal, France, where a district heating system was built in the 14 century. Today, geothermal district space heating p...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare first accessory gutta-percha penetration after the use of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) or stainless-steel spreaders in curved resin blocks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty resin blocks with 30º and 45º curvatures (20 blocks for each) were prepared and #30 master cones were placed in canals. In part one, under 20 Newton pressure, Ni-Ti or stainless-...

The purpose of this study was to determine if passive ultrasonic irrigation using finger spreaders was more effective than standard files in removing debris after root canal instrumentation. Eighty-five straight canals were instrumented and then passively ultrasonically irrigated with either fluted files or nonfluted finger spreaders for 3 minutes or 1 minute. Images of split canal lumens were ...

The article presents the results of study to substantiate angle vertical installation fertilizer spreader, which localizes between rows cotton. Based on obtained, a working body is developed for mixing organic and mineral fertilizers during intercropping. movement pieces along X Y axes was studied. coordinates pieces’ landing point surface their velocities, motion equations in next jump were cr...

This paper presents a possible realization of a (CD)MA multiuser communication system. The state variables of two synchronized chaotic Chua’s circuits are thereby used to generate identical continuous valued spreader sequences in the transmitter and the receiver. To create a higher degree of randomness in the signatures, the state variables are processed by a k-shift cypher. The performance to ...
