Patent EP-0827414-B1 (EP)
Inventor: FILAN FINBARR JOHN
IPC: A61M1/00

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a waste treating reservoir for treating waste collected using an associated suction system. A disposable receptacle connected to an associated suction system includes a sealed chamber such as a liner and a lid with a pour spout. The waste treating reservoir includes a closed container with an open mouth for storing a waste treating agent. A cylindrical wall forms a diffuser cap and has an open end portion and a substantially closed end portion. The closed end portion has a plurality of apertures opening radially through the cylindrical wall. The open end portion of the cylindrical diffuser cap fits telescopically over the open mouth of the agent container. The reservoir system further includes a double-walled sleeve having an inner wall and a generally concentric outer wall for attaching the combined diffuser cap and agent container to the spout of the disposable receptacle lid. The inside surface of the inner wall of the sleeve sealingly covers the radially opening apertures in the diffuser cap when the cap is in a first position relative to the sleeve. The outside surface of the inner wall and the outer wall are engagable with the cover spout of the receptacle so that the diffuser cap is slidable to a second position in the double-walled sleeve. At the second position, the radial opening apertures are moved axially beyond the inside surface of the inner wall of the sleeve. This allows an open passageway for the waste treating agent to flow from the interior of the agent reservoir to the chamber of the disposable receptacle. The waste treating reservoir of the present invention is configured so the system can be set up prior to the surgical procedure and can be readily activated immediately after the surgical procedure so that hazardous waste can be treated promptly and efficiently.

Abstract: In order to provide cemented carbide, provision is made about tungsten carbide powder which has a grain size not smaller than 1  mu m and which is mixed with carbon powder and chromium powder to form raw powder. The tungsten carbide powder is formed by fine primary crystal particles of tungsten carbide and satisfies an inequality given by: <MATH> where Y denotes a half-value width of (211) crystal planes in tungsten carbide (JCPDS-card 25-1047, d = 0.9020) measured by a X-ray diffraction method and where X denotes a grain size measured by the FSSS method. The raw powder is heated to a temperature between 1200 and 1700  DEG C to diffuse the chromium powder into the tungsten carbide powder and is pressed into the cemented carbide which has a high transverse rupture strength and a high hardness.

Abstract: An in ground termiticide/bait tube device for insect detection and control includes a first outer housing (1) tube fixedly implanted into the ground and a second inner tube (7) removably receivable within the outer housing (1). The inner tube contains bait for detecting and controlling termite activity, and can be inspected or replaced by removing the inner tube from the outer tube. The inner tube is mounted within the outer tube by rotation along a lead thread such that maximum relative rotation assures alignment of openings in the inner and outer tubes. The device further includes a flexible cap to provide tampering resistance when the inner and outer tubes are installed below ground. The cap is designed to cooperate with the outer tube to oppose rotational movement of the cap and inner tube in a direction resulting in the removal of the inner tube from the outer tube when the device is in an operational state. Support elements are provided to improve the alignment of the openings in the inner and outer tubes, and to increase structural support at the area of which the inner and outer tubes are rotated into engagement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Cette invention porte sur une prothèse endoluminale à déployer dans une lumière corporelle d'un patient, laquelle prothèse comporte un revêtement textile tubulaire et une ossature extensible maintenant le revêtement. Plusieurs corps permettant une formation d'images sont rattachés à ce revêtement, ces corps assurant un contraste marqué afin de délimiter un motif indiquant la position de la prothèse lors d'une visualisation de celle-ci à l'intérieur du corps du patient. Chaque corps permettant une formation d'image est constitué, de préférence, d'une plaque pourvue de deux faces principales en opposition et d'un passage ménagé entre elles pour faciliter le piquage du corps sur le revêtement. Ces corps, qui peuvent être avantageusement alignés avec les ouvertures d'une ossature perforée de façon à en rendre visibles quelques uns au moins par des ouvertures associées, n'exigent pas, en fait, d'être fixés directement sur l'ossature. Ils sont nettement visibles lorsque la prothèse est déployée et peuvent également être dimensionnés de façon à donner des images distinctes même lorsque l'ossature est rétractée dans un cathéter d'acheminement mais ne doivent pas gêner l'élargissement sur un plan radial de l'ossature durant son déploiement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polygonal, especially rectangular, parallelpiped building block made from transparent plastic and configured from two hollow halves (1) with facing parallel lateral edges. Coupling elements (3, 4, 5, 6) extend substantially perpendicularly from the peripheral flanges (1'') of said parts to connect the building block with adjacent blocks and the coupling elements on the opposite faces of any two structural members are interlockable. One attachment (3 or 5) with a groove (3' or 5') preferably open towards the visible surface (1') and running parallel with the visible surface edge and one attachment (4' or 6') with a nose preferably remote from the visible surface (1') and running parallel to the visible surface edge are provided as coupling elements at a mutual distance on each peripheral flange of each half-block. Said attachments (5, 6) are elastically deformable on two mutually facing sides of the building block and adjacent blocks can be engaged with a positive and non-positive fit by inserting the noses (6') into the grooves (5') on a narrow side of the block in the direction of the course of the groove on one side and by interlocking of the noses (4') and grooves (3') on the adjacent narrow side at the front.
