Patent EP-0423330-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIMATANI KAZUO
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 1989-01-19
Abstract: A tampon composed of a tampon body made of a stringy material is prepared by intertwining menstrual blood-absorbing threads, such as cotton threads of a high water absorptivity, and applying an external pressure to the formed tampon body so as to compress the same into a bullet. This tampon has a large surface area and a number of cavities among the intertwined and compressed threads. Accordingly the tampon can absorb the menstrual blood efficiently to swell. Thus the tampon can absorb the menstrual blood falling down along the wall of a vagina without fail, as it expands substantially to the volume which it had before the compression. In order to take out the tampon, a stringy member formed by intertwining reinforced threads is pulled out, so that the tampon can be removed from the vagina smoothly as it is loosened.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'aimant à noyau plongeur, utilisé de préférence comme marteau d'impression dans un dispositif à marteau d'impression. Des aimants à noyau plongeur connus contiennent à l'intérieur de la bobine excitatrice un premier entrefer qui sert d'entrefer de travail et un deuxième entrefer à l'extérieur de la bobine excitatrice qui sert d'entrefer de perte. Les lignes de force magnétique dans le deuxième entrefer sont perdues en tant que forces de déplacement du noyau plongeur. L'invention a pour objet d'accroître la force magnétique d'aimants à noyau plongeur en utilisant le deuxième entrefer également comme générateur de force sans que la génération de force dans l'entrefer interne ne soit affectée. A cet effet , une commande à cône extérieur est agencée dans l'entrefer externe, qui a une forme cylindrique et la longueur usuelle d'entrefers de perte. La force magnétique est ainsi considérablement accrue.

Abstract: The syphon tube (11) is connected at its outlet end (13) to a rigid pipe (14), either directly or by means of a rotating joint. The pipe (14) placed on a rigid support (20) can oscillate about a horizontal axis (15) as a result of the play of a counterweight (16). The upward displacement of the pipe (14) is limited by an upper stop (17) and the downward displacement by a lower stop (18), in such a way that, when the syphon discharges above its critical flow, the pipe (14) is inclined so as to bear on the lower stop (18) and that, when the flow reaches the critical flow, the pipe (14) empties and comes into abutment on the upper stop (17) as a result of the play of the counterweight (16). An increase of the load in the region of the upstream end (12) of the syphon tube (11) results in a rise of the water in the pipe (14), until its unbalance once again brings about the inclined position on the lower stop (18) and, when a critical flow is established, makes it possible to expel the degassing bubbles accumulated at the high point of the syphon tube (11). …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous hydraulic fluids of low flammability, which are environmentally acceptable and have lubricating properties. Known hydraulic fluids based on oil-in-water emulsions (HFA) are metastable systems, so that temperature fluctuations and electrolytes have a critical effect on the system. In the case of systems thickened by polymers, the shear stability is inadequate. In HFC fluids, high use concentrations are necessary to produce a minimum viscosity. The novel hydraulic fluids are intended not to show these disadvantages. For this purpose, aqueous hydraulic fluids are proposed which contain 5 - 30 % by weight of an alkyl polyglycoside and up to 20 % by weight of surfactant-type additives and also up to 10 % by weight of other conventional additives. These novel hydraulic fluids have advantageous lubricating activities at a low active compound concentration.

Title: Improved deterministic timed bus access method.
Inventor: PRITTY DAVID
IPC: H04L12/407
Filed: 1990-02-01
Abstract: An improved timed deterministic bus access method and system is described which can be used with a bidirectional linear bus, a uni-directional linear bus, a star and a tree type of bus structure. The method employs a master timing reference signal and discrete values of time delay at each node together with a cycle start signal to provide orderly deterministic access by a number of nodes to a shared bus structure. The master timing reference signal is generated by a polling node which can also transmit messages. The time delays in the nodes can correspond to their physical order from the polling node when this is located at one end. Alternatively values of timing delays can be chosen to make the physical location of the polling node or the other nodes unimportant. The method provides for prioritised access to the bus structure using a reservation hold.
