One or more holes that extend through a wall of a powder metal component are formed by creating an absence of powder metal in a die set during compaction at an interface between a side surface of a punch and another side surface of the die set that faces the side surface of the punch in substantially close proximity to create the absence of powder metal at the interface.

A bodily fluid analyzer including a dry test strip impregnated with a reagent providing a non-precipitating reaction to exclude non-desired analytes. The reagent complexes the non-desired analytes so they remain in solution but cannot participate in the test reaction. Red blood cells are removed from the detection area by slowing their vertical movement and stopping flow when the detection membran...

A method and a corresponding system for error checking an electrochemical sensor having at least two electrodes and a liquid measuring medium applied thereto are disclosed.

An intelligent directional fire alarm system is disclosed. The intelligent directional fire alarm system identifies a threat such as a fire, and the location within a building relative to the known exits for building occupants, and indicates the closest exits in each area of a building relative to the location of an identified threat, and the path towards the exit for evacuees throughout a given b...

With detection of a selected error event involving a data storage drive and data storage media, a subsystem attempts to move the media to another drive, and conduct a similar operation. The subsystem separately tracks successive error events of individual drives and individual media, wherein a complete successful operation breaks the chain of the successive error events; and upon the number of suc...

Rigid polyurethane foams are produced by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with an amine-initiated polyol produced with an alkylene oxid e comprising propylene oxide, said polyol having a molecular weight of at leas t 149 and a functionality of at least three in the presence of a catalyst, a hydrogen--containing fluorocarbon and a minor amount of water at an isocyanate index of from 0.9 to 3.1. T...

A method and system for operating a sensor, particularly, a yaw rate sensor, which is housed inside a housing. In order to detect the potentially dangerous influence of mechanical vibrations upon the output of the sensor, the vibrations are sensed at the location of the sensor, and the sensor or an electronic device interacting with the sensor is switched off for as long as the vibrations exceed a...
