Title: Contact unit, especially for electric switches
Inventor: ZUK DANIELA
IPC: H01H11/00
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: A contact unit (1), especially for electric switches, comprises a stamped grid (2) of electrically conductive material in which the stamped tracks (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) representing the electric current paths are joined by webs (5) and have contacts (3) projecting from the stamped plane, in which the space between the stamped tracks (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) is smaller than the length of a contact (3). To obtain a compact contact unit (1), the contacts (3) are in one piece with the stamped grid (2) and the stamped grid (2) has at least one lug (15) in the longitudinal direction of the contacts (3) making it possible to bend the contacts (3) from the stamped plane of the grid (2) and space the contacts (3) in a predetermined grid pattern.

Title: Systeme de rangement souple
Inventor: SMITH DAVID A
IPC: A45C13/02
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système de rangement particulièrement destiné à des applications dans le domaine spatial, lequel système comprend un sac de vol (10), un sac à dos (66), une plaque d'adaptation du sac à dos (96), ainsi qu'une baie de rangement pressurisée (104). Ce sac de vol (10) est fait d'un tissu Kévlar?TM/NomexTM¿ et son couvercle (18) comprend un panneau transparent intégral (22) de manière à ce que le contenu du sac puisse être immédiatement identifié sans que l'on ait à ouvrir ce dernier. Sous le couvercle (18) se trouve un filet (24) de maintien de la charge utile, fixé de manière amovible au revêtement intérieur du sac et servant à retenir des objets rangés de petite taille. Les mailles constituant le filet comportent de préférence une ou plusieurs fentes d'accès (28) permettant d'accéder à l'intérieur du caisson sans que l'on ait besoin de retirer le filet et, donc, sans risquer de perdre le contenu du sac. Le sac de vol (10) comprend également plusieurs surfaces (30) à boucles et crochets (VELCROTM) sur sa périphérie lui permettant de s'écraser sur lui-même et d'être rangé lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, et également d'être empilé sur d'autres sacs ou accolé à ces derniers si on le souhaite. Le sac à dos (66) du présent système de rangement possède diverses configurations et peut recevoir jusqu'à quatre sacs de vol, ou une combinaison d'une charge utile unique et/ou de mousse. Des sangles (72, 74, 76, 80, 82, 86) formant un réseau et faisant partie intégrante de la structure du sac permettent de fixer celui-ci et son contenu à la plaque d'adaptation (96) du sac à dos par l'intermédiaire de boucles à déclenchement rapide (98, 100). Un panneau longitudinal clair (102) situé sur le couvercle (68) permet d'identifier rapidement le sac à dos ainsi que le contenu des sacs de vol.

Title: Device for transdermal electrotransport delivery of fentanyl and sufentanil
Inventor: SOUTHAM MARY
IPC: A61K47/32
Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: The invention provides an improved electrotransport drug delivery system for analgesic drugs, namely fentanyl and sufentanil. The fentanyl/sufentanil is provided as a water soluble salt (eg, fentanyl hydrochloride) dispersed in a hydrogel formulation for use in an electrotransport device (10). In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the concentration of fentanyl/sufentanil in the donor reservoir (26) solution is above a predetermined minimum concentration, whereby the transdermal electrotransport flux of fentanyl/sufentanil is maintained independent of the concentration of fentanyl/sufentanil in solution. In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, the donor reservoir (26) of the electrotransport delivery device (10) is comprised of silver and the donor reservoir (26) contains a predetermined "excess" loading of fentanyl/sufentanil halide to prevent silver ion migration with attendant skin discoloration. In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, a transdermal electrotransport delivered dose of fentanyl/sufentanil is provided which is sufficient to induce analgesia in (eg, adult) human patients suffering from moderate-to-severe pain associated with major surgical procedures.

Patent EP-0848743-A1 (EP)
Inventor: REES WILLIAM GERAINT
IPC: A23K1/00
Filed: 1996-07-22
Abstract: A chemically bonded medium is obtained from a resilient organic macromolecular material, in cut elongate of finely divided form (such as grass or peat). The material is dried (3, 4) under conditions permitting escape of water vapour, such that the dried material has a predominantly hydrophobic surface and a water content of not more than 10 % by weight; and then optionally flashed. The surface properties of the dried material are then equilibrated, under conditions inhibiting escape of water vapour and other volatiles, such that the predominantly hydrophobic surface is rendered predominantly hydrophilic. The product is then mixed (5) with a lignosulfonate, with application of heat in an amount sufficient to maintain the lignosulfonate in fluid form, such that the lignosulfonate forms a coating film on the surface. The lignosulfonate is caused to undergo partial polymerisation (6) (typically by heating and/or treatment with oxygen) on the surface of the dried material to produce a flowable, substantially non-resilient and non-tacky, chemically bonded medium. The bonded medium may be stored or shaped (8) under pressure to form agglomerates.

Abstract: Each transistor or logic unit on an integrated wafer (1) is tested prior to
interconnect metallization. By means of CAD software, the transistor or logic units
placement net list is revised to substitute redundant defect-free logic units for defective
ones. Then the interconnect metallization is laid down and patterned under control of a
CAD computer syste. Each die in the wafer thus has its own interconnect scheme,
although each die is functionally equivalent, and yields are much higher than wich
conventional testing at the completed circuit level. The individual transistor or logic unit
testing is accomplished by specially fabricated flexible tester surface (10) made in one
embodiment of several layers of flexible silicon dioxide, each layer containing vias and
conductive traces leading to thousands of microscopic metal probe points (15-1, 15-2) on
one side of the test surface (10). The probe points (330) electrically contact the contacts
(2-1, 2-2) on the wafer (1) under test by fluid pressure.
