Title: Milling tool and process for underreaming drilling holes
IPC: B28D1/14
Filed: 1989-05-24
Granted: 1991-07-24
Abstract: A milling tool is proposed, in particular for powered hand drills and hammer drills, for underreaming drilling holes while forming conical widened portions or undercuts, in which milling tool the milling head, displaceable in the axial direction, is connected to the tool shank suitable for accommodation in a drill chuck, and in which a movably arranged cutting tool, which in the normal position of the tool is completely sunk in a longitudinal groove, emerges from its circumferential surface in a radial direction transversely to the longitudinal axis of the milling tool as soon as the axially displaceable parts, namely the shank and the milling head, are moved towards one another. This ensures that conical widened portions or undercuts of cylindrical bores formed previously in a conventional manner, with regard to their location and their geometric form, are formed completely irrespective of actions of the tool user. Furthermore, this ensures that heavy-duty anchors carrying a cone can be inserted in an accurately fitting manner into the conically widened or undercut bores thus produced. The proposed method is characterised by the use of the milling tool according to the invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Implant material which contains biocompatible ions and which, in aqueous solutions, has the same potential as the natural bone material. A method for producing the implant material according to the invention is characterised in that the implant material is immersed in a dilute saline solution, and after formation of a static layer a glass micro-electrode is introduced into the layer and, in order to measure the electrical potential, a counter-electrode is immersed in the saline solution, and, when the measured potential deviates from the potential of the macerated bone, the microporosity/macroporosity is modified within the predetermined ranges until the potential difference is zero. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1992-01-22
Abstract: Method and means for the fast inspection of objects for the detection of elementary or compounded metals of the kind that are capable of producing with impinging X-radiation within the range of 60-160 KeV a detectable photoelectric interaction. A 110-160 KV X-ray source (2) is used in association with collimating (3) and filtering (4) means,capable of generating a collimated X-ray beam consisting of repeating cycles comprising each one energy bin having a flux centred around the K-edge energy of the target metal and, if desired, comprising additional energy bins. There is also provided a linear array of solid state, spectroscopy grade detectors (6). Objects (8) to be searched for the said metals are scanned by moving them across the beam at a location intermediary between the X-ray source (2) and the detector (6), at a speed so selected that during each one of predetermined pixels the full energy range of the said cycle impinges a full cross-section of an inspected object without any mutual dislocation between said X-ray source and linear array of solid state, spectroscopy grade detectors. For each pixel the intensity of transmitted radiation of selected bands is recorded and the ratios of the transmitted radiation in these bands is determined. The results are processed to an image of any detected article.

Abstract: An electronic postage meter 10 has two non-volatile memories 104, 106 for storing postage meter accounting data under control of a CPU 50 operating under a program in ROM. An accounting data recovery routine is stored in ROM. Prior to updating critical information in the non-volatile memories, a recovery address which calls the recovery program is stored in NVM and cleared after a successful update. At each power-up of the meter, the non-volatile memory is checked to see if the address is present and if it is, the accounting data is done again from the start of the accounting cycle.

Date Feb. 22, 1990.A metal-clad, compressed-gas insulated, high-voltage switching station with an insulated grounding switch. In the case of compressed-gas insulated, high-voltage switching stations, insulated grounding switches are also used for applying test voltages. Therefore, provided between the housing and the casing is an insulating ring, within which a conductor is embedded with a terminal lug which contacts the contact pin. In order to improve the insulation, the insulating ring reposes within a metallic ring, which acts as a prop ring and which receives the fixing agents. It is only interrupted by the terminal lug which is provided with an insulating enclosure. The insulating ring is thus largely relieved from mechanical stresses. Insulated grounding switches are used in the case of metal-clad, high-voltage switching stations which are insulated by SF6 compressed gas.

Title: Therapeutic system for the sustained and controlled transdermal or transmucosal delivery of active agents
IPC: A61L15/44
Filed: 1990-02-13
Granted: 1993-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the sustained and controlled transdermal or transmucosal delivery of active substances, consisting of an impermeable backing layer, a reservoir containing active substance, a layer which is essentially free of active substance but is permeable to active substance, and a detachable protective layer. The layer free of active substance is initially brought into contact with the active substance reservoir immediately before or after the application and then lies between the reservoir and the application surface, in which respect, in the layer free of active substance, at least some of the active substance diffusing from the active substance reservoir converts into a non-bioavailable form. The conversion into a non-bioavailable form can in this case be effected by immobilising the active substance by chemical reaction or by physical interaction.

Abstract: The power demand of a dynamic audio load (22) is monitored, for example, by sensing the voltage level of the power supplying the audio load (22). An audio load control signal (Val) corresponding to the power demand is generated. The audio load control signal (Val) is advantageously applied to a circuit (30) for producing a side pincushion correction current (im), for modulating the side pincushion correction current by the audio load demand. The audio load modulated side pincushion correction current (im) is used to modulate a horizontal deflection current (iY) in order to compensate for both side pincushion distortion and dynamic audio load induced raster width distortion. A filter network (R3,C5) may also be provided for removing high frequency signal components from the audio load control signal (Val).

Title: Method and apparatus for the production of metal granules
IPC: B22F9/08
Filed: 1990-05-22
Granted: 1993-10-13
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the production of metal granules from a molten metal are disclosed. A molten metal stream (19) is directed against an impact element (8) located above the surface of water in a water tank. The impact of the molten metal upon the impact element causes the molten metal to disintegrate into drops (20) which spread out radially from the impact element. The drops fall down into the water below the impact element in an annular region a certain radial distance from the impact element. The radial distance is varied by varying the velocity of the molten metal stream relative to the impact element at the instant of impact, and/or by varying the height of the impact element above the water surface, in order to substantially continuously vary the radius of the annular region in which the molten metal drops hit the water surface. By using the method and apparatus of the present invention it is possible to granulate metals and metal alloys having a low sinking rate in water and a high enthalpy.

Abstract: In planetary stranding machines, in which the rotor consists essentially of a supporting tube, to which disc-shaped supporting plates for the rotatably mounted bobbin carriers are connected, for purely constructional reasons the rotor cannot be designed with the necessary bending resistance, thus resulting here in limitations to the maximum permissible rotational speed which lead to a limitation of the production capacity. 
<??>The arrangement on the supporting tube (6) of longitudinal webs (7) directed radially outwards and distributed uniformly on the circumference affords a greater resistance which permits higher rotational speeds. Furthermore, if the supporting plates (12) on the one hand and the axes of rotation (13) of the bobbin carriers (9) on the other hand are arranged at an angle to the supporting tube (6), this produces a considerable reduction of the flight-circle diameter which in turn allows an increased operating speed, so that the production capacity can be increased.
