A diaphragm configuration is disclosed for an air-driven pump. The diaphragm includes concentric ribs on the pressure side of the flexure portion thereof. This has been found to extend the life of diaphragms made of relatively brittle materials such as synthetic resin polymers.
1. A diaphragm including an inner attachment portion, an outer attachment portion and a sheet-like, annular flexure portion made of a synthetic resin polymer bounded by said inner and outer attachment portions and having a concaved, fluid pressure receiving side, wherein the improvement comprises concentric, continuous ribs spaced substantially uniformly across the width of said fluid pressure receiving side of said flexure portion such that said surface is substantially sinusoidal in a radial direction.
2. The diaphragm of claim 1 wherein said ribs are integrally formed with said flexure portion.
3. A diaphragm including an inner attachment portion, an outer attachment portion, and a sheet like annular flexure portion bounded by said inner and outer attachment portions and having a concaved, fluid pressure receiving side, wherein the improvement comprises concentric continuous ribs spaced substantially uniformly across the width of said pressure receiving side of said flexure portion and said flexure portion is a synthetic resin polymer.
4. A diaphragm for an air driven diaphragm pump including an inner attachment portion, an outer attachment portion and a sheet like, annular flexure portion bounded by said inner and said outer attachment portions and having a concaved, air pressure receiving side and a convex working side, wherein the improvement comprises said air pressure receiving side having a plurality of concentric continuous ribs forming a substantially sinusoidal surface in a radial direction, said surface being substantially identical in all radial directions thereof, said convex working side being smooth, and said flexure portion being a synthetic resin polymer.
The present invention relates to diaphragms for pressure driven pumps.
Air driven diaphragm pumps have found great utility in the pumping of materials and powders which have any one of the properties of being very non-homogenous, very viscous, very active chemically and very dirty. In view of the wide range of applications of such pumps, it is necessary to provide a wide range of construction materials which are not chemically sensitive, not easily abraded or not easily cut by the substances and mixtures passing through the pump. One group of diaphragm materials which has been found to exhibit multiple advantages in this regard are synthetic resin polymers, some of which are offered for sale under the trademark TEFLON. However, such materials also are relatively rigid and have a tendency to fail along defined distress lines under repeated flexure. Consequently, such materials have been generally felt to be economically unsuitable for use in such situations.
In the Applicant's own experience, diaphragms having a basic configuration like that of the present invention without the addition of the ribs of the present invention fail due to cracking along radial lines of the diaphragm after unacceptably low numbers of cycles of the diaphragm in a pump. Thus, TEFLON diaphragms have been found to be very expensive because of both the initial cost and the short life.
The present invention is directed to a diaphragm which can be used with relatively inflexible materials such as TEFLON. The present invention can substantially increase the life of such diaphragms which heretofore have experienced early failure due to radial cracking.
To increase the life of such TEFLON diaphragms, it has been found that concentric ribs provide sufficient stiffness in the circular direction while allowing relatively free radial extension of the diaphragm.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved diaphragm for diaphragm pumps.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a pump diaphragm less subject to radial cracking.
Other and further objects and advantages will appear hereinafter.
The drawing is a cross-sectional side view of a diaphragram of the present invention shown with the immediately adjacent parts of an air driven diaphragm pump.
Looking to the drawing, a diaphragm, generally, designated 10 is illustrated in association with an inner piston 12 and an outer piston 14. The pistons are held in place by a piston rod 16 having a shoulder 18 and a threaded portion for receiving a nut 20. Portions of the inner housing 22 and outer housing 24 are also illustrated in association with the diaphragm 10.
The diaphragm 10 includes an inner attachment portion 26 which is intended to extend between the inner and outer pistons 12 and 14. A central hole is provided in the inner attachment portion 26 for receipt of the piston rod 16; and the inner attachment portion 26 is generally circular in plan.
Associated with the housing members 22 and 24 is an outer attachment portion 28. The outer attachment portion includes a semi-circular channel 29 which acts in interlocking engagement with a bead fixed on the housing. In the present embodiment, a bead 30 is shown integral with the housing 22. The bead may in fact be an independent piece locked in a channel within that housing. The semi-circular channel extends about the circumference of the diaphragm 10 and also helps to form a seal for the pumping chamber.
Located between the inner attachment portion 26 and the outer attachment portion 28 of the diaphragm is a flexure portion 32. The flexure portion 32 is annular in configuration and is concave on the air pressure side. The flexure portion is generally sheet like and the concavity allows for movement of the piston rod 16 without great resistance from the diaphragm itself.
Located on the pressure receiving side of the diaphragm are a number of concentrically arranged ribs 34. These ridges 34 are spaced substantially uniformly across the flexure portion 32 as can be seen in the drawing. A smooth transition between each rib and the main pressure side surface of the diaphragm 10 is used to prevent high stress points which could detract from the life of the diaphragm. The ribs 34 are configured to form an approximately sinusiodal surface on the diaphragm 10 wherein the valleys between the ribs provide a diaphragm thickness equal to the thickness of the unribbed portions of the diaphragm. The diaphragm thickness including a rib is almost twice the minimum thickness in the valleys between ribs.
The introduction of ribs on the diaphragm increase the moment of inertia resisting flexure along a line perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rib. Thus, the diaphragm of the present invention resists radial flexure more than conventional diaphragms. It has been found that this reduction in flexure adds to the life of TEFLON diaphragms. The addition of the ribs 34 also reduces the flexibility of the diaphragm to concentric flexure. Thus, the operative flexibility of the diaphragm in the direction in which it must flex to work is reduced. By increasing the thickness of the diaphragm at the ribs 34, greater strain is experienced by the areas of the diaphragm between ribs. However, it has been found that a net positive effect is gained by the use of the ribs 34.
As an example of one embodiment of the present invention, a diaphragm has been constructed having an overall diameter of 29.62 cm. (11 21/32"). The diaphragm thickness at the inner attachment portion 26, the outer attachment portion 28 and the valleys between the ribs 34 is 0.198 cm. (0.078"). The thickness of the diaphragm including the ribs 34 is 0.356 cm. (0.140"). The peaks of the ribs 34 are spaced 0.635 cm. (0.25") apart. There are ten such ribs in the flexure portion 32. The flexure portion has a width between the inner attachment portion 26 and the outer attachment portion 28 of 8.02 cm. (3.16").
Thus, an improved diaphragm has been devised by the present invention. While embodiments and applications of this invention have been shown and described, it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein described. The invention, therefore, is not to be restricted except by the spirit of the appended claims.

COSTA MESA – Parents and caregivers are encouraged to learn how to choose and install proper car seats for their children at a workshop next month.
The Automobile Club of Southern California will host a free child passenger safety education workshop from 6-7:30 p.m. May 12 in the cafeteria of the Auto Club's Administrative Offices, 3333 Fairview Road.
Under state law, children are required to be properly restrained in safety or booster seats until they are at least 6 years old or weigh 60 pounds, according to the Auto Club. When properly used, child safety seats can reduce childhood deaths by as much as 70 percent. However, nine out of 10 car seats are installed incorrectly.
Some Auto Club statistics:
�•Safety seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers.
�•Using a booster seat with a seat belt for older children instead of a seat belt alone reduces the risk of injury by 59 percent.
The class is for adults only. No car seat installations in vehicles will take place. Participants will receive take-home resources, including information on where to locate local technicians and safety seat events.
Reservations are required. Call the Auto Club's Community Relations office at 714-885-2312 to register.
Contact the writer: 714-796-7956 or email@example.com

New CH4 emission data from a number of Northern and Southern Hemispheric, tropical and temperate termites, are reported, which indicate that the annual global CH4 source due to termites is probably less than 15 Tg. The major uncertainties in this estimate are identified and found to be substantial. Nevertheless, our results suggest that termites probably account for less than 5% of global CH4 emissions.

NEW electronic signs aimed at helping motorists quickly find a parking space while easing congestion in Worcester will 'go live' from May.
Work is already underway on the system which will provide up-to-the-minute information on the availability of spaces across some of the city's main car parks.
The signs will be placed on busy main routes into Worcester including London Road, Bath Road, Tallow Hill, Tolladine Road, Rainbow Hill, The Tything, Tybridge Street and Hylton Road.
It is hoped the £250,000 scheme will ease traffic congestion particularly during busy periods by helping direct motorists straight to a parking space rather than having to circle around the city.
Strips are being installed at St Martin's Gate, the Cattle Market, the Cornmarket, Pitchcroft, Copenhagen Street and King Street car parks which will relay the information to the signs.
Coun Simon Geraghty, county council deputy leader and cabinet member for economy and infrastructure, said: "I'm sure everyone at some time has endured the frustration of driving around trying to find a space to park, particularly at busy times or when visiting a place for the first time. The new system will make it easy to locate the nearest car park which has spaces which is good for those living, working and visiting Worcester."
Work is being carried out during off peak times to minimise disruption to motorists and all of the car parks will remain open as normal during the project.

What Would You Like To See Out Of Mesa 8.1?
Published on 27 February 2012 06:39 PM EST

Michael Larabel

With nearly one month having passed since the release of the highly-anticipated
Mesa 8.0
, where have you come to realize not full satisfaction with this open-source graphics driver library? What would you like to see improved with the next release, Mesa 8.1?
Mesa 8.1
will not be released for another five or six months, but there's already lots building up in Git on a daily basis. There's already some
Radeon Gallium3D improvements to note
, more Intel Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge fixes, and various Mesa core enhancements.
Among some of the items I would like to see out of Mesa 8.1 include:
- The landing of OpenCL support... Via merging the years-old "Clover" branch,
the Nouveau OpenCL support
, and ideally the yet-to-be-out Radeon OpenCL support. This would also mean merging the Radeon LLVM-backend for its Gallium3D driver.
Radeon HD 7000 series support
. If AMD doesn't deliver its new Gallium3D driver supporting the "Southern Islands" support within the next half-year this will be a huge disappointment. Fortunately,
the new open-source hardware support might be coming soon
- NVIDIA GeForce 600 "Kelper" series support. NVIDIA will be launching their next-generation Kepler graphics processor soon. NVIDIA is unlikely to change their (non-existent) open-source strategy in the next few months so it's left up to the Nouveau community to reverse-engineer the next-generation graphics support. Whether or not any Gallium3D GeForce 600 series support will be usable in the next six months is up in the air, but chances are it will take until Mesa 8.2 or later.
- Performance improvements to the Mesa hardware drivers are always nice.
- Initial support for
Intel Haswell support
(Intel's 2013 CPUs) will happen for Mesa 8.1. This support will still be on their classic DRI driver.
- Greater OpenGL 3/4 compatibility. While OpenGL 3.0 / GLSL 1.30 support is basically in place with Mesa 8.0, there's still several newer revisions to OpenGL and the OpenGL Shading Language to be addressed. By Mesa 8.1 it looks like Intel hopes to have a large portion of the OpenGL 3.1 specification covered.
- Addressing of the other
eight shortcomings of Mesa 8.0
What else are your hopes for Mesa 8.1? Share your thoughts in the forums.

The U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality lists questions you can ask your doctor about tests, treatments and drugs, including:
◆ What is the test for?
◆ Are there any side effects?
◆ Why do I need this treatment?
For the full list, go to www.ahrq.gov/questionsaretheanswer/
Updated: June 27, 2011 2:09AM
When heart disease, cancer and other chronic illnesses kill thousands of Americans a year, it's natural for people to want every assurance that they're in peak health — or at the very least, that any problems are caught early.
It's easy to see, then, how consumers could be duped into buying expensive and potentially harmful screening tests they don't need, as is alleged in a lawsuit filed against Heart Check America.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed suit against the Tinley Park-based company on Thursday, claiming that it offered people free body scans and then pressured them into signing up for multiyear screening contracts.
The suit alleges that patients were not evaluated by a medical professional before they received the scans and were not warned of the potential risks, including radiation exposure.
We'll leave it to the court to decide whether the accusations against Heart Check America have merit, but the allegations alone should remind us of the importance of being savvy health-care consumers.
Not only can unnecessary and inappropriate health screenings cause real harm, they tend to lead to a cascade of unnecessary follow-up tests and treatments that drive up health-care costs.
Everyone except the snake-oil salesman benefits when consumers stick to the tests and treatments backed by scientific evidence.
How is the average person supposed to know which tests are worth getting? The federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has a list of basic questions consumers should ask their doctor before receiving a medical test. That's a good place to start.
Because while ad campaigns would have you believe that more is always better when it comes to health care, less can do the job as well — and sometimes better.

Other things to consider is how you deal with A/C failure. In some places I have seen environment cards used with the UPSen to shut things down when too hot, but for those relying on being able to deal with issues on a direct "run to the server room" sort of action then a lower temperature can give a bit more time to deal with the issue.
It's is all about risk and impact.

New study on health impact of neutering dogs
Neutering dogs may have some impact on the animals developing hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament tears, lymphosarcoma, mast cell tumors and hemangiosarcomas, according to a new study led by veterinarian Benjamin Hart at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine.
It was published last week in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE. Read the study here.
Researchers evaluated the medical records of 759 golden retrievers -- male and female -- and found that early and late sterilization were associated with an increased occurrence of certain disorders.
For example, it found a doubling of hip dysplasia among male dogs neutered before one year of age.
However, Hart noted that the effects of early and late neutering may vary from breed to breed and any connection between neutering and health conditions may be attributed to more than one factor. Read more about the study here.

Also joining the squad are Australian fly-half Blair Stewart (Grenoble), Georgian prop Giorgi Jgenti (Perpignan) and Lucas Pointud, another prop, from ProD2 club Tarbes.
Bayonne finished last season in 10th place, only three points clear of safety.

Wing-in-Ground Craft to be Jointly Developed by DSME, Wing Ship Technology
Korean shipbuilder DSME signs a MOU with Wing Ship Technology for development of Wing-in-Ground vessels DSME has signed a memorandum of understanding with Wing Ship Technology, a leader in wing-in-ground (WIG) craft. Through this MOU, DSME plans to assist in the commercialization of WIG crafts through mutual cooperation. DSME agreed to co-market with Wing Ship Technology and jointly develop the WIG craft's mooring system for use on offshore platforms, in addition, DSME also has plans to cooperate with Wing Ship Technology in the development and co-production of a 200 seat military use WIG. Wing Ship Technology successfully built the world's first commercial WIG craft capable of seating 50 people (WSH-500) last December. DSME has supported them since the company established itself in 2007 and has helped in the successful development of the WSH-500 by providing financing of about 6.3 million dollars. Through this cooperative agreement, it is possible to maximize both companies' strengths and provide mutual benefits. For example, if people can use WIG craft to approach offshore platforms in the ocean, it may be safer and more economical than helicopters which are universally used these days. Through this MOU, DSME plans to increase the marketability of offshore platforms and help expand the WIG craft market.

R&B singer Chris Brown has officially shown there may be no signs of reconciling with speculated music rival Drake, weeks after their publicized New York City brawl, by going at him on a new diss record.
Freestyling to Chicago rapper Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" anthem, Breezy goes direct at Drizzy's neck.
"A f*ck n*gga, that's the sh*t I don't like / They throwin' bottles, I'm throwin' models, 'cause I give a b*tch long pipe / Doin' shows on the soccer field, that's dome, right? / I be singin', he be singin', so it's on sight / But hold up, I ain't give a n*gga no green light / This head up, my bread up, one-on-one, what, you scared, bruh? / Matter of fact, take care, bruh / You a p*ssy n*gga / My n*gga Tunechi, yeah that n*gga nice / Shout out to Nicki, man, that a** tight / Them eyebrows? Man, them sh*ts is yikes / OVO, you overdose, screamin' Y.O.L.O. though, I live twice!" ("Don't Like" Freestyle)
Last week, Maybach Music Group rapper Meek Mill said Breezy and Drizzy were on good terms despite the club fight reports.
"Chris and Drake, them two was there but its other people that be around that take sh*t to the next level," Meek exclusively told XXL. "Things just happen in the club. I seen girls in there throwing bottles, all types of sh*t. All types of people. I never seen Chris Brown or Drake throw a bottle and I was there." When XXL asked Meek if he threw a bottle during the melee, the Philadelphia MC offered two words: "F*ck no." He proceeded to reveal that he and Breezy spoke right after the incident and don't have a problem with each other. (XXL Mag)
Some reports claimed Meek may have had a big role in contributing to the incident.
25-year-old Meek Mill, who was seen hanging with Drake before the brawl broke out at club W.I.P. in New York City early Thursday morning, is responsible for Brown's injury. Although the exact grounds and causes of the altercation remain unknown, pop star Rihanna is believed to be the root reason for tension between Drake and Brown. Both artists have previously dated the leading lady. (Philly)
The brawl has caught the attention of various hip-hop stars including Nicki Minaj who recently backed up Drizzy.
"Oh my God. You know, Young Money 'til the death of me. I don't approve of talented people doing things that aren't conducive to an amazing career," Minaj told radio host Tim Westwood. "But you know, I spoke to Drake, and I told him from the bottom of my heart how I felt. I'm like, 'Baby, you are a superstar, and I need you to realize that.' He did nothing wrong, of course. You know, rumors are rumors, and that's what it is. I just told him it's time to remember who you are. Not that he did anything wrong, just, that, sometimes, you might just need to go to bed, have an early nap, you know. Go to the hotel, it's nothing wrong with that, I do it all the God d*mn time." ("Tim Westwood TV")

This week we are thrilled to welcome back Dr. Rosie Kuhn, founder of Paradigm Shifts Coaching Group and a preeminebt thought leader in the field of transformational coaching, coaching training and leadership development. The author of several books, we will be focusing our discussion with Dr.Rosie this episode on spirituality in business, based on her book, The ABC's of Spirituality in Business.
How can we bring spirituality into the workplace? With one in five people unhappy and unfulfilled at work, what needs to happen to create a shift that allows for meaning, fulfillment, purpose, and real community? Spirituality in the workplace is not about a particular religion. It is about feeling better about ourselves and others, living in alignment with our deepest values and having the courage to explore the beliefs that underlie our fears in order to move beyond them. "There's a calmness and peace in the environment and people are more productive and happier when cultivating spiritual awareness." If you are in any workplace in any capacity, this is a show you'll want to tune into!
