Title: Knee joint orthosis
Inventor: ZEPF ARMIN
IPC: A61F2/64
Filed: 1995-05-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a knee joint orthosis with a thigh shell (2) fastenable to thigh (1) of the patient with bandages or the like, a lower leg shell (4) likewise fastenable by bandages or the like to lower leg (3), and with two joint rods (5), said rods being located laterally opposite one another, approximately perpendicular with the leg extended, and connecting the two leg shells (2, 4) with one another with articulation, each of said rods being connected at its upper end by an upper articulation point (8) with thigh shell (2) and at its lower end by a lower articulation point (10) with lower leg shell (4) in such manner that the distance between the two articulation points (8, 10) decreases from a maximum with the leg extended to a minimum with the knee completely flexed. To simplify the design and the operation, it is proposed according to the invention that the pivoting of at least one joint rod (5) around its lower articulation point (10) from the extended leg position into a knee bend take place against a force opposing the pivoting, said force increasing up to a knee bend of about 30° to 40° and decreasing once again with an approximately 90° bend (seated position).
Patent CA-2152261-A1 (CA)
Title: Beverage frothing device
Inventor: REYNOLDS ANDREW JOHN
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: A method for creating a foamy dispersion of bubbles or "head" on a beverage, when dispensed from a sealed and pressurised package. The package has fitted therein a compressible secondary chamber. A small orifice (14) in the chamber releases a jet of fluid into the beverage to cause the formation of or assist in the formation of a "head" on the beverage, when the package is opened to dispense the beverage. The secondary chamber may be formed by means of a piston (10) and cylinder (12), or piston and rolling diaphragm (18), and valve means (20) may be provided to close off the orifice until sufficient gas pressure exists in the compressible chamber and a sufficient internal to external pressure gradient exists as will occur when the package is broken to dispense the beverage. Alternatively to open the orifice (14) a seal is provided which melts when the package is heated as during pasteurisation.  Another alternative seal is mechanically broken as a result of the final movement of the piston into the position of maximum compression.  A liquid/gas lock may be provided so as to minimise the ingress of beverage into the compressible chamber after the seal has been broken.

Title: Controlled access atm switch
Inventor: PETERSEN LARS-GOERAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1994-01-28
Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch in which access to a switchcore matrix is monitored and controlled through the logic and buffering functions of switchports connected thereto. The switchcore is greatly simplified by moving the logic and buffering functions to the switchports. The switchcore matrix comprises a plurality of rows, columns, and crosspoints thereof, providing muting paths for the routing of information cells from input points to output points on the matrix.  Single-stone buffers in the switchcore matrix enable temporary storage and hand-off of individual information cells as they pass through the matrix. The simplicity of the switchcore matrix enables it to be constructed on a single integrated circuit.

An actuating element for actuating the switching pin is positioned in the  housing  so  as  to be  accessible  from  the exterior of the housing. A switching mechanism with a  plurality  of  members  including  the switching  pin  and  the  actuating  element  is provided.  One of the members of the switching mechanism is moveable into an operating position in which the microswitch is operative and into a switched-off position in which the microswitch is switched off. A locking element for arresting the moveable  member  in  the  operating position  is provided. A releasable safety stop is releasably connected to the housing.  The  locking element rests on the releasable safety stop.  When the releasable safety stop is released, the moveable member is switched into the switched-off position.

Patent CA-2154301-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NORBURY RAYMOND L JR
IPC: F24F13/14
Filed: 1995-07-20
Abstract: A ball  louver  assembly  for  controlling  the  direction  of pressurized  air passing  through  the  openings  of  a  ball  shaped louver.  The ball louver mechanism comprises a ball louver liner, which holds the ball louver and liner inside and between front and rear retainer rings. An inner ring attached to the back edge of the front retainer ring allows the ball louver with its attached liner to be turned in any rotational direction to direct the forced air as desired. The structure of the ball louver and the liner allows the ball louver to be turned into a position to close, reduce or select the direction of the pressurized air leaving the air conditioner through the openings in the ball louver body.  This structure is similar to basic gyroscope axis principles in its mobility of the ball louver in any direction by incorporating a new liner with or without  spring-like  compression  effects  and/or  with  or  without notch-bump presence to help hold the ball louver in the last desired position  without  vibration  or  forced  air  being  able  to  cause movement of the ball louver from its last desired set position. Another feature in the liner gives compression spring-like increased coefficient of friction to the axle of the rotational ball louver to hold in the desired set position.

Title: Apparatus for measuring dimension of article and scale to be used in the same
Inventor: HOSHIYAMA HIROKI
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 1995-11-23
Abstract: A scale has marks of a point-symmetrical shape which are arranged in matrix.     The scale and an article to be measured in dimension are positioned without any relative movement.          An image sensor unit detects a predetermined portion of the article  and  the  marks  of  the  scale  corresponding  to  the predetermined  portion   of   the   article   selectively   and successively, and the image sensor unit generates output signals in accordance with the detected results of the article and the scale.      The output signals are processed to calculate the dimension of the article.     An apparatus for measuring the dimension of an article is provided which can eliminate the occurrence of parallax,  resulting in satisfactorily improved precision of the measurement.   In the apparatus, an article and a marker are disposed so that the optical distance between the article and a reading unit is equal to the optical distance between the marker and the reading unit.

Abstract: To sort articles on the basis of measurement data concerning the articles, the measurement data from a large random sample are organised in a library according to frequency (1) of the occurrence of measurement data combinations.  A sort criterion is allocated to the measurement data combinations, depending on their frequency.  The sorting operation involves recording the measurement data of articles and verifying the frequency which they can be allocated in the library.  It is on this basis that the corresponding sort criterion is applied to the articles.  The method allows fast sorting in spite of a large number of measured values for the individual articles.

Abstract: Process for recovering chemicals and energy from black liquor, where the black liquor is gasified with CO, CO2. CH4, H2, and H2S, in gaseous form, and Na2CO3, NaOH and Na2S, in the form of drops of smelt, being principally formed. The mixture of gas and smelt is cooled, in a first stage, by direct contact with a cooling liquid, whereupon a part of the cooling liquid is volatilized, and the smelt drops are separated off and dissolved in the remaining part of the cooling liquid with the formation of a liquid bath (6) of green liquor. In a second stage, the gas is washed and saturated with moisture by direct contact with a washing liquid bath (13). After the gas has been washed in the second stage, energy in the form of thermal energy and condensation heat is recovered from the gas in an indirect condenser (16). The contact between the gas and the liquid bath (6), consisting of green liquor, in the first stage is substantially less than the contact between the gas and the washing liquid bath (13), in the second stage. This is achieved, by the gas in the first stage not being permitted to bubble through the liquid bath (6), consisting of green liquor, in contrast to the second stage, in which the gas is caused to buble through the washing liquid bath (13).
