Patent EP-1019112-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ORLY ISABELLE
IPC: A61L31/12
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: Use of collagen in the manufacture of a membrane. The invention concerns the use of collagen gel in the manufacture of an optionally crosslinked, transparent, biocompatible collagen membrane which can be sutured or stapled and is, preferably, rapidly resorbed, for use in surgery under peritoneoscopy, such as parietal surgery. The membrane is produced by drying the collagen gel in a non-toxic gaseous fluid such as air or nitrogen. The membrane enables the peritoneum to rapidly renew itself, thereby preventing post-operative adhesions. The surgeon inserts the membrane using a trocar with a diameter of 1 cm and it can be safely secured by stapling or suturing with the vessels being visible beneath it.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur de courant conçu pour la mesure sans contact du courant dans une ligne. Le courant est détecté par un circuit qui envoie une tension d'inversion haute fréquence à un transformateur de courant, de sorte que le transformateur se trouve dans sa zone linéaire au moins une fois par cycle haute fréquence. Le courant passant dans l'enroulement de détection est échantillonné alors que le transformateur est dans cette zone linéaire. De préférence, le courant est échantillonné approximativement aux moments de l'inversion de la tension appliquée à l'enroulement de détection, l'échantillon ayant la valeur absolue inférieure est choisi comme échantillon proportionnellement au courant de la ligne.

IPC: F27D99/00

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preheating the scrap by reheating the exhaust gases and to a device for performing the method. In a device that is known in the art and is described in EP-C-0190313 there is a melting furnace (1) into which a feeder channel (3) for the scrap (4) leads (figure 1, which shows the prior art). The exhaust gases produced in the furnace (1) are made to flow in countercurrent in the channel (3) and are aspirated by the aspirator duct (8). In order to cause the combustion in the channel (3) of the combustible gases contained in the exhaust gases and preheat the scrap (4), the channel (3) has a series of air feeder nozzles (9) distributed along the channel (3). In this device, however, it is not possible to obtain a flame along the channel (3) and therefore the preheating is insufficient. According to the invention, in order to improve the combustion of the gases in the channel (3), one takes into account, in terms of method, the propagation of the flame along the channel (3), which is controlled. This is achieved, in terms of a device, by virtue of the system of concentrating the air feeder nozzles (11) in a single point of the channel (3) that is arranged in the vicinity of the melting furnace (1), where the nozzles (11) then direct their jet of air so as to increase the flame propagation rate along the channel (3). In a preferred embodiment, two types of nozzle (11') and (11'') are used: one (11') blows the comburent air at right angles to the direction of the exhaust gases in the channel (3), and the other one (11'') blows the comburent air parallel to, and in the same direction as, the exhaust gases in the channel (3).

A lock-out circuit is provided such that if no flame is detected, the unit cannot be restarted without first removing power and then reapplying power to the unit.

Abstract: A semiconductor substrate having a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure and a method of manufacturing the same are provided, i.e., an isolation substrate in which grooves are selectively formed at predetermined locations of the semiconductor substrate and oxide films using organic silicon source as material are buried in the grooves as buried oxide films. The present invention is characterized in that the buried oxide films are annealed at a predetermined temperature within the range of 1100 to 1350 °C before or after planarization of the semiconductor substrate such that ring structures of more than 5-fold ring and ring structures of less than 4-fold ring are formed at predetermined rates in the buried oxide films. The above annealing allows stress of the oxide film buried in the grooves to be relaxed. Hence, the generation of dislocation is suppressed.

Abstract: A fastener comprises a pin having a head 14 and swaging grooves 16 on its shank, together with a collar 12 which is swaged into the groove 16 to lock the collar to the pin and thereby secure together two metal sheets 23, 24. The underhead face of the pin head is formed with a projecting annular rib 28. When the pin head is urged towards the adjacent sheet 24 during the fastener installation process, the rib 28 enters the sheet 24 and engages therewith. This enhances resistance to relative slipping of the sheet 24 with respect to the pin and the other sheet 23, thereby enabling the use of an oversize hole 26 in the sheet 24. The collar 12 may alternatively or additionally be provided with a similar rib 29 for a similar purpose (Figure 1).

Abstract: The present invention can provide an electrophotographic apparatus and electrophotographic method which are less affected by dot gain, can realize smooth gray scale expression, are high in gray scale reproducibility, and are hard to generate moire. 
     In an embodiment of the present invention, a continuous tone image is binarized by using the frequency modulation screening, to form a latent image free from the generation of moire and high in relative resolution. The latent image thus formed is developed using a liquid developer, to form a thin toner layer, for forming a toner image less in the generation of mechanical and optical dot gain.

Abstract: An improved process for producing polytetramethylene ether glycol diester of the formula R-CO-O(-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O)n-COR1, in which R and R1 are identical or different and are an alkyl radical or a derivative thereof, by the polymerisation of tetrahydrofurane in the presence of a fixed-bed polymerisation catalyst and a carboxylic acid anhydride. The use of neutral or weakly basic magnesium aluminium hydrosilicates instead of the prior art acid monomorillonite, zeolith or kaolin catalysts now makes the polymers accessible with a higher polymerisation rate, uniform properties and a narrower molecular weight distribution even with technical-grade tetrahydrofurane.

L'électrode en forme de boucle est constituée d'une surface inférieure relativement large formant un bord distal tranchant (122a) et un bord proximal tranchant (122b). L'électrode peut avoir une section triangulaire ou une section transversale formée par une surface supérieure convexe et une surface inférieure plate.

Il semble que le bord distal tranchant et le bord proximal tranchant facilitent le sectionnement et la focalisation du courant de cautérisation tandis que la base relativement large sert à favoriser la coagulation.
