Inventor: LOPEZ GEORGE A
IPC: A61M5/00

Abstract: A closed system, spikeless, positive-flow valve device includes a body defining an internal cavity. At the proximal end of the body is an opening which is preferably sufficiently large to receive an ANSI standard tip of a medical implement. The valve includes a plastic, resilient silicon seal which fills the upper cavity and opening with an oval seal cap having a slit. The opening presses the oval seal cap to keep the slit closed in the decompressed state. The slit opens as the nose of the medical implement compresses the seal into the cavity and the seal cap is free from the opening. The housing also includes a fluid space which facilitates fluid flow between the medical implement and a catheter tip. The fluid space within the valve automatically and reversibly increases upon insertion of the medical implement into the cavity and decreases upon withdrawal of the medical implement, such that a positive flow from the valve toward the catheter tip is effected upon withdrawal of the medical implement, thereby preventing a flow of blood from a patient into the catheter when the medical implement is removed from the valve.

Title: Measuring stop device for a distance-measuring apparatus
Inventor: SPRENGER FRANZ
IPC: G01S7/481
Filed: 1997-11-05
Abstract: The invention concerns a measuring stop device for a distance-measuring apparatus (4), said device comprising a rear measuring stop (1) which runs perpendicular to the measuring direction (6), is linear and is divided into at least two measuring stop regions (1a, 1b), at least one measuring stop region (1b) being rotatable about an axis (3) running parallel to the measuring direction (6). If the measuring stop regions (1a, 1b) are aligned one behind the other, a distance can be measured from a transversal intersecting a vertex and is used, for example, for determining the diagonals of a surface. In order to measure distances from a flat surface, a stable support surface which is perpendicular to the measuring direction (6) can be provided by rotating the rotatable measuring stop region (1b) accordingly.

Abstract: The car radio receives coded transmitter information which it decodes and stores in a transmission table. Several transmitter frequencies belonging to a transmitter station are stored in the memory (11). They are checked and updated during a time when the car radio has no audible radio programm, i.e. it is switched off or another audio source is being played. The radio is adjusted to different receivable transmitter frequencies. The receivable transmitter stations are checked and their transmitter frequencies are allocated. The adjustment is performed by the radio central microprocessor (4) working together with a RDS microprocessor (5) that decodes and processes the coded received signals. The RDS microprocessor is connected to the memory which holds the possible reception frequencies for each transmitting station.

Abstract: An electric vehicle is controlled to conform
its operation to that of a conventional internal-combustion-engine
powered vehicle. In some embodiments,
the charging of the batteries by the auxiliary source of
electricity and from dynamic braking is ramped in
magnitude when the batteries lie in a state of charge
between partial charge and full charge, with the
magnitude of the charging being related to the relative
state of charge of the battery. The deficiency between
traction motor demand and the energy available from the
auxiliary electrical source is provided from the
batteries in an amount which depends upon the state of
the batteries, so that the full amount of the deficiency
is provided when the batteries are near full charge, and
little or no energy is provided by the batteries when
they are near a discharged condition. At charge states
of the batteries between near-full-charge and near-full-discharge,
the batteries supply an amount of energy which
depends monotonically upon the charge state. Charging of
the batteries from the auxiliary source is reduced during
dynamic braking when the batteries are near full charge.
Control of the amount of energy returned during dynamic
braking may be performed by control of the transducing
efficiency of the traction motor operated as a generator.

Abstract: A screen printing stencil is produced chemically by
application of a chemical agent 5 to a screen mesh 3 having
a stencil-forming layer. The chemical agent 5 is applied
dropwise using computer-controlled apparatus. The chemical
agent reacts with the stencil-forming agent to harden the
stencil in areas which remain upon subsequent wash-out. The
stencil so produced can be used for screen printing in the
usual way. The method avoids the use of safe lights and
actinic radiation. The apparatus used can be a commercially-available
apparatus designed for direct application of liquids
dropwise to screens mounted in their frames. The stencil-forming
layer can be provided using a commercially-available
emulsion-coated film or a commercially-available emulsion
applied directly to the screen mesh.
