Patent EP-0751795-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EASON STEPHEN WILLIAM
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1995-05-16
Abstract: A method of producing a container (201, 231, 350) having a plurality of apertures (e.g. 202, 232, 352) each containing a respective dose of powdered material, such as a medicament, involves placing an empty container in a position in which its apertures communicate with a reservoir (216, 84) of powdered material. The material is then passed, for example by the flow of gas, from the reservoir into the apertures to fill the latter, and the container is then separated from the reservoir and the apertures are optionally sealed with sheet material (204, 206, 321, 323). Since the apertures are filled, their volume determines the amount of each dose which therefore does not have to be measured prior to introduction into the apertures. The container may comprise a rigid or flexible plate and in latter case can be subsequently rolled into the form of a cylinder for use in an inhaler. Apparatus for performing the method, and an inhaler for use with a cylindrical container, are also shown.

Abstract: A chair for handicapped or elderly persons walking with a difficulty comprises a chair frame (10), a chair seat (11) mounted on the chair frame, wheels (17, 18, 28) mounted on the chair frame for supporting the chair on a ground or floor surface so that the contact points (29-31) between the wheels and the floor surface define the vertices of a polygon, and hand grips (19) formed on the chair frame to be gripped by a person pushing the chair. At least one (17) of the wheels and/or the hand grips (19) may be mounted in first and second alternative positions. In the first position a resulting downwardly directed force (F) applied to the hand grips (19) by a user of the chair intersects the ground or floor surface inside said polygon and spaced from the sides thereof. In the second position the resulting downwardly directed force (F) applied to the hand grips (19) intersects the ground or floor surface outside said polygon or closely adjacent to a side thereof. In said first position the chair may be pushed by and support a walking or standing handicapped person. In the second position the chair may be used for transporting a sitting handicapped person and the chair may be pushed by an assisting person.

Abstract: A power supply circuit (8) incorporates a DC power supply (8A), a switching element (8B), and a diode (8C). A transformer (12) incorporates a ring core (13), primary windings (13B), and secondary windings (13C). The switching element (8B) goes ON and OFF on the basis of a signal pulse supplied from a pulse emitting device (5), so that a DC current pulse is supplied to the primary side of the transformer (12). An inverting device (15) connected across the power supply circuit (8) and transformer (12) incorporates switches (151), (152), (153), and (154), and is controlled by a signal from a relay circuit. When the switches (151) and (152) are closed, the switches (153) and (154) are open. The first half-wave of the voltage pulse of the current induced on the secondary side of the transformer (12) is supplied to a machining gap formed between a wire (1) and work piece (3) in the direction of the work piece (3). The subsequent half-wave is then supplied to the machining gap in the direction of the wire (1). At this time, the voltage waveform of the current pulse is biased to the positive side in terms of the potential of the work piece with respect to the wire (1). Thus, undesirable coating of the material of the wire (1) onto the surface of the work piece (3) is prevented. When the switches (151) and (152) are opened and the switches (153) and (154) are closed, the AC current pulse induced on the secondary side of the transformer (12) is biased to the negative side.
