Abstract: The regeneration of injured nerves is enhanced by supplying collagenase to the zone of injury of the nerve. Growth of nerve sprouts over the zone of injury is aided by the presence of effective amounts of collagenase during the regeneration process. If the nerve has been severed, collagenase is supplied to the ends of the proximal and distal stumps. A nerve graft may be interposed between the stumps. Natural fibrin has been used as glue to join nerve stumps, and collagenase is effective when used in admixture with fibrin.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un appareil de coulage qui sert à former des films d'acétate de cellulose à partir d'une solution chaude. L'appareil comprend une roue de coulage (12), des organes (13, 14) servant à faire passer un liquide chauffé à travers la roue pour chauffer cette dernière, un organe (15) servant à extruder une bande de solution sur la roue, un cylindre préhenseur (16) servant à prélever la bande, sous la forme d'un film, de la roue, ainsi que d'autres cylindres (18, 20, 22) servant à amener le film (26) vers une sécheuse (24), l'étape suivante consistant, une fois que le solvant a été en majeure partie retiré du film, à enrouler ce dernier sous la forme d'un rouleau. Le cylindre préhenseur (16) et les autres cylindres (18, 20, 22) sont concaves, de façon à ce que les défauts tels que les imperfections de surface soient évités. Ces imperfections ont la forme de courtes lignes sinusoïdales orientées généralement dans le sens parallèle à la longueur du film.

Abstract: Afin d'acquérir des tomographes, deux détecteurs (1, 2) sont fixés ensemble dans une structure de support (3) de manière que leurs champs de détection sont inclinés l'un par rapport à l'autre. L'angle d'inclinaison entre les champs est de préférence de 90°. Cette paire de détecteurs est ensuite placée de manière que le plan bisectaire (9) des deux champs de détection comprenne l'axe de rotation (4) autour duquel la paire de détecteurs tourne afin d'effectuer une tomographie sur un sujet. Pour les sujets corpulents, on éloigne (13) la paire de l'axe, et pour les sujets minces on la rapproche de l'axe. L'invention prévoit que, afin d'éviter un déplacement des détecteurs perturbant les calculs de tomographie, il suffit de changer les paramètres de calcul dans l'algorithme de reconstruction.

Abstract: Electric switching device comprises two fixed contacts (1, 2) and one movable contact (3), forming together the main contact system, which is located in an oil-insulated cavity (13) enclosed in a housing (10). In its direction of movement, the movable contact has an extension in the form of a shaft (14). The shaft is formed with a hydraulic piston by which the movable contact is operated. The hydraulic piston is surrounded by a cavity in which a piston cavity (15, 16) is formed on each side of the hydraulic piston. The piston cavities are oil-filled. The movement of the shaft is determined by an electrically controlled directional valve (21). The directional valve receives signals as to whether the electric switching device is to be opened or closed. At a given signal, the directional valve distributes a high pressure to the piston cavity that is to be enlarged. The electric switching device can be provided with an auxiliary contact mechanism which can be placed either in the fixed contacts and/or in the movable contact. The electric switching device may be provided with a bistability mechanism comprising wedge pistons (45, 46) biased by means of springs (47, 49), said wedge pistons, in case of a pressure drop, locking the movable contact in the existing position via the shaft.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing the storage of image data in a framestore (50) of an electronic color printing system (P) so as to minimize the storage requirements of the framestore. In such a system, image data is read out from the framestore (50) in a color-separated sequence (R1-Rn; G1-Gn; B1-Bn) which differs substantially from a color-integrated sequence (R1,G1,B1--Rn,Gn,Bn) in which image data is received by the framestore from an input image scanner (S). According to the invention, values representing such color-integrated data from the image scanner (S) are stored at address locations in the framestore vacated by the immediately preceding data read-out step. Such data management obviates the need for two separate framestores, each being capable of storing a sufficient number of multiple color-separated images to produce a desired array of multicolor images on a single receiver sheet (10).

Abstract: A generally flat, elongated edge-sealed polymeric blood bag (33) having a length to width ratio of at least 2 to 1 and one end portion (12) in tapering communication with a connected single tubing (31) which in turn is in closed communication via a Y-connector (35) with both a bag access port (3) and at least one other Y-connector (45). The second Y-connector (45) is in closed communication with at least one auxiliary bag (39), preferably two auxiliary bags (39,41). Once the upper neocyte portion is expressed from the elongated blood bag the lower, more dense gerocytes can be saved in the original elongated bag or expressed into another connected bag via the Y-connector assembly for subsequent use or storage. The bag system is especially useful for separating and isolating both components of a neocyte/gerocyte red blood cell mixture in an open system and for providing a means for saving the otherwise discarded gerocytes for subsequent use. A physiological solution can be introduced via the Y-connector assemblies into the elongated bag to reconstitute the dense gerocytes.

Abstract: If it is detected that the number (MP) of times of ejection recovery operations performed in the past by the request of a user during an ink jet recording operation is greater than or equal to a designated relatively large value, for example "2" (stept S220), the ink jet recording apparatus judges that an ejection recovery operation is relatively necessary for itself and that the number (P) of times of ejection recovery operations to be performed when the electric power supply is turned on is increased (steps S221, S222 and S223). As a result in the ink jet recording apparatus, it will be appreciated that an optimal ejection recovery operation can be established in response to an operational condition of the ink jet recording apparatus and that the unnecessary waste of ink fluids can be prevented and the size of the recording apparatus can be reduced.

Abstract: By means of the process according to the invention, thin-walled metal articles (10), in particular metal foils, can be produced from reactive metal by hot-forming. In this process, the reactive metal is embedded in a capsule (11) which consists of a second, plastically deformable metal, and separating agents of powder particles. The separating agents between the capsule wall and the reactive metal are applied preferably as an aqueous dispersion in at least two layers (12, 13). The powder particles (for example boron nitride) of a first layer (13), which is applied to the reactive metal, then form a substantially denser packing than the powder particles (for example calcium fluoride) of a second layer (12). The separating agent of the second layer is plastically deformable or flowable at high viscosity during the hot-forming. The novel process has lower costs than known processes, in which the separating agent is sprayed on thermally.
