Mechanical cushioning system for footwear
A midsole for footwear comprising a midsole element, which comprises a top plate, a bottom plate, and a plurality of strut members disposed between the top and bottom plates for supporting the top plate a distance away from the bottom plate. Adjacent strut members have a C shaped cross-section facing in the same direction. The midsole element may further comprise a heel cleft to increase the flexibility of the sole. In a preferred embodiment, the strut members on the medial side are arranged at an angle to the strut members on the lateral side of the sole. The directional design provides flexibility and stiffness anisotropically to the sole in the longitudinal and lateral directions of the sole respectively.

Balanced humidification in fuel cell proton exchange membranes
ActiveUS20050208366A1Improve moisture distributionEqually distributedCell electrodesWater management in fuel cellsFuel cellsGaseous diffusion
A fuel cell with a gas diffusion media having a hydrophobic layer adjacent a flow field plate and a hydrophilic layer adjacent the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell. The two layers enable balanced humidification of reactant gas along with a basis for managing capillary water addition into the gas diffusion media. The combination of balanced moisture flux (via the hydrophobic layer) and the retention of water (via the hydrophilic layer) for humidifying reactant gas sustains hydration of the proton exchange membrane while preserving the catalyst at full activity.

System and method for determining a lubricant discard interval
InactiveUS20130197738A1Minimize downtimeLow costVehicle testingInternal-combustion engine testingComputer scienceLubricant
A system, a method and a computer program to predict a portion of used lubricant in an engine that is to be drained and replaced by fresh lubricant based on an analysis parameter value that is measured in a sample of used engine lubricant from the engine. The system includes a first input that receives the analysis parameter value from the used lubricant and stores the analysis parameter value in a memory of a processor. A second input receives an analysis parameter threshold value for the used lubricant at the end of a service interval and stores the analysis parameter threshold value in a memory of the processor. A determiner predicts a future analysis parameter value of a mixture of used and fresh lubricant at the end of the service interval based on the analysis parameter value, and the analysis parameter threshold value.

Method of tuning a bat and a tuned bat
InactiveUS6322463B1Improve performanceIncreased durabilityRacket sportsInteraction timeMicrochiroptera
A method of tuning a bat includes estimating a ball-bat interaction time, Ti, of an impact between a ball and the bat and tuning at least one desired mode of vibration in the bat produced by the impact. The desired mode of vibration is tuned by selecting properties of the bat so that the desired mode of vibration has a period approximately equal to 4 / 3Ti. When a mode of vibration is so tuned, the energy the vibration transfers to a batted ball is optimized. A tuned bat has one or more of the desired modes that is approximately equal to 4 / 3Ti, giving the bat a desirable bat performance factor and a desirable level of durability. Typically, the first hoop mode of vibration is given first priority during tuning of the bat. However, other modes of vibration, such as an axial bending mode of vibration may also be tuned.
