Patent EP-0897473-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JACOBSEN STEPHEN C
IPC: F04B9/02
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: An ambulatory volumetric pump apparatus includes a housing defining a channel therethrough having an inlet for receiving a fluid and an outlet for discharging a fluid, a pump operable to pump fluid through the channel, a motor for operating the pump in response to control signals, and a programmable microprocessor for selectively supplying control signals to the motor to cause the motor to operate. The programmable microprocessor is "programmed" by manually setting rotatable knobs having faces which extend through but are generally flush with the housing exterior surface. The knobs include indicia to provide a visual display of the setting of the knobs and thus of the parameters of operation of the pump. An under-pressure sensor is disposed after the inlet of the channel to detect a suction or vacuum in the channel and to signal the microprocessor if such condition is detected. An over-pressure sensor is disposed before the outlet of the channel to signal the microprocessor if greater than expected pressure is detected in the channel. The microprocessor then sounds an alarm, shuts off the motor, or both.

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorbent insert for foodstuff packagings, the liquid-absorbing component of which is a superabsorbent polymer which, in a hitherto unrivaled fashion, persistently absorbs and retains large quantities of liquid even under high pressure load, protects the foodstuffs from bacterial decay, and prevents contamination of the packagingd goods by migrating soluble constituents of the polymer. This combination of properties of the superabsorbers used is expressed by the QSAP 0.3 quotient of retention according to the tea bag test+absorption against pressure (AAP) 0.3, divided by the amount of solubles (LA), which quotient is at least 20. Superabsorbers having such properties are obtained by using special combinations of crosslinkers. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for producing said absorbent inserts and their use in foodstuff packagings, as ice substitute, and as leak-proofing means in transport packagings.

Abstract: An electrode catheter is disclosed for creating a linear lesion in heart tissue of a heart chamber in order to correct cardiac arrhythmia. The catheter is elongated in dimension such that, upon insertion of the catheter in the patient, the catheter substantially continuously contacts either the endocardial or epicardial heart tissue. The catheter includes a plurality of electrodes and the electrodes are positioned at spaced intervals along the catheter. The electrodes are then sequentially energized with a radio frequency in conjunction with a back plate attached to the patient such that the electrodes form a continuous lesion conforming in shape to the shape of the catheter on the heart tissue. This lesion, furthermore, is of sufficient depth such that the lesion interrupts electrical nodal conduction across the lesion.

Abstract: Provided is a printing apparatus provided with a liquid
ejecting means by which a photothermal conversion material is
transferred to a heat-sensitive stencil sheet to reproduce images
thereon, a light irradiation means which irradiates the heat-sensitive
stencil sheet with a visible or infrared ray to perforate
the stencil sheet, an ink-permeable cylindrical printing drum, a
heating means which heats a stencil printing ink which reversibly
changes in its phase from solid state to liquid state in the printing
drum, a squeeze means which internally contacts with the inner
circumferential surface of the printing drum and feeds the ink to
the inner surface, and a pressing means which presses at least one
of the printing drum and a printing sheet, thereby to bring them
into close contact with each other, so that the stencil printing
ink is transferred to the printing sheet through the perforated
heat-sensitive stencil sheet, wherein said liquid ejecting means
further ejects a photothermal conversion material and/or a colorant
onto the printing sheet, whereby images can be directly printed on
the printing sheet. According to this printing apparatus, no
wrinkling of the stencil sheet occurs and no failure in conveyance
of the stencil sheet is caused, and prints of a small number to a
large number can be efficiently obtained at a low running cost, and
the resulting prints are superior in drying properties with neither
set-off of ink nor seep through.

Abstract: The method involves designating one station as master (MA) and, for example, two others as slaves (S1,S2). Each station stores in a non volatile memory the program version to be run at the next start. At a time t=t0 the same version runs on the master and sub-stations.At a time t=t1 the master sends messages (M11,M12) to the slaves ordering initialisation of indicators (P1,P2), which display readiness to run a particular version. The slaves acknowledge these messages (ACK1,ACK2) and if successful the master at time t=t2 sends messages (M21,M22) ordering versions (V1=V2=n+1) to be run at the next start. If the slaves have both made successful preparations to run version (n+1) they display (P1=P2=1) and at time t=t3 the master instructs them (M31,M32) to restart at t4 and t5 and restarts itself at t6. A failed slave will run neither program version pending instructions from the master.
