Inventor: BURRELL ROBERT EDWARD
IPC: A01N59/26
Filed: 1994-11-01
Abstract: Anti-microbial coatings and powders and method of forming same on medical devices are provides. The coatings are preferably formed by depositing an anti-microbial biocompatible metal by vapour deposition techniques to produce atomic disorder in the coating such that a sustained release of metal ions sufficient to produce an anti-microbial effect is achieved. Preferred deposition conditions to achieve atomic disorder include a lower than normal substrate temperature, and one or more of a higher than normal working gas pressure and a lower than normal angle of incidence of coating flux. Anti-microbial powders formed by vapour deposition or altered by mechanical working to produce atomic disorder are also provided. The anti-microbial effect of the coatings or powders may be further activated or enhanced by irradiating with a low linear energy transfer form of radiation such as gamma radiation. Novel anti-microbial silver materials are defined, characterized by having a positive rest potential, a Trec/Tm less than 0.33, and a grain size less than 200 nm. Anti-microbial fine grain or nanocrystalline materials are provided, together with methods of preparation, wherein the anti-microbial metal if deposited in a matrix with atoms or molecules of a different material such as other biocompatible metals (ex. Ta), trapped or absorbed oxygen, or compounds of anti-microbial metals or biocompatible metals (ex. Ag0 or TaO). The invention also extends to a method of producing an anti-microbial effect with silver materials that form complex silver ions other than Ag<+>, Ag<2+> and Ag<3+>.

Abstract: A waste water purification process, in particular a continuous waste water purification process is disclosed, as well as a waste water purification plant system, in particular for continuous waste water purification. Waste water is purified in that an aerated mixture of waste water with activated sludge is degassed before being discharged into the secondary settling basin. The waste water purification system has a venting device that connects the aerating container or a separate chamber thereof to the secondary settling basin or a separated chamber thereof. The venting device is designed as a U-shaped tube. One of its branches forms the supply collecting pipe and the second branch forms the discharge collecting pipe, whereas the section that interconnects its two top ends delimits the intermediate chamber that contains a separate gas suction chamber.

Abstract: A touch trigger probe for a coordinate measuring machine or machine tool has a stylus (14), which is biased into a rest position. The stylus has two independent supports, provided within a housing (10). In the embodiment of Fig 1, the first support comprises an axially projecting skirt (18) of a stylus holder (12), which is axially constrained on a surface (20) of the housing (10). The second support comprises a support element biased into contact with an inclined surface; more particularly a kinematic arrangement of cylinders (34) and balls (36), which provide lateral constraint. The second support is distinct from the skirt (18) and the surface (20) and is closer to the axis than the skirt. This improves the lateral constraint during the commencement of tilting of the stylus, for example by reducing wobble transverse to the plane of tilting when the support element disengages from the inclined surface.

Abstract: In a control apparatus (10) for a pulse motor (1) a target value for the rotor phase, add motor speeds at N different phase switching times during an acceleration period of the pulse motor (1) are determined in advance. Then, phase control values (for conducting respective phase switchings when the rotor phase reaches the target phase of each phase switching) and speed control values (for conducting respective phase switchings so that the motor speed at each phase switching further approaches a target speed) are integrated with each other in accordance with a predetermined weighting function. In an early stage of acceleration, the weight of the phase control predominates. As the motor speed increases, the speed control is weighted more and more heavily relative to the phase control. When the motor speed reaches the target speed, only the phase control is once more conducted exclusively and only once, so that the rotor phase at a phase switching time is merged into the target phase switching phase, thereby achieving constant speed operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug cap freely mountable on or removable from an elongated bore 21 for the ignition plug in internal combustion engines or the like. 
     The plug cap is provided with a rain cover portion 27, a sealing portion 12 and a pipe-holding portion 15. The latter is provided, on its internal circular face, with a circular groove 13 and a plurality of protrusions 14 projecting towards the central axis. These grooves and protrusions and subsequent deflection thereof, give an elasticity to the sealing portion 12 and to the pipe-holding portion 15. 
     When the plug cap is pressed into the elongated bore 21 for the ignition plug, there is not curling up of the sealing portion 12 occurring as this was the case heretofore, thereby ensuring a reliable sealing. 
     After insertion, the protrusions 14 of the pipe-holding portion 15, which are formed integrally with the sealing portion 12, are pressed onto the external circular face of the ignition pipe 19, so that the latter can be held more reliably.

Abstract: The e.g. aluminium alloy end-mountings (2A,2B) have sockets receiving the ends of a tubular e.g. glass-fibre former (1). Lathe-mounted, this assembly is rotatable about its longitudinal axis (4) and displaceable axially w.r.t. and extrusion head (14). Using a triangular cross-section die, the latter lays down a conical elastomeric grading ring (9) at the tube/mounting junction, consolidated by an inclined roller and scored axially (16). While the assembly moves axially, an inverted T-section die then extrudes on to the former a helix (20) of the same insulant, which incorporates a projecting helical rain-shed (18). A narrow roller (19) consolidates the material, expelling any air, which at the ends escapes via the scoring (16). The completed assembly is then cured.

Abstract: A level 2 cache is provided wherein the content mode of the cache can be altered by a system user. This allows the L2 cache to be programmed to store only data, only instructions, or both. A storage control unit (SCU) receives a request to retrieve data or instructions from the central processing unit (CPU) and places this request into a L2 cache request queue. A storage control register is provided in the SCU which is accessible by system software. Control logic is then used to gate the processor requests to the L2 based upon the contents of the storage control register. Thus, for a particular value in the storage control register, only instructions can be accessed in the cache. That is, the read and write enable functions of the L2 cache are controlled such that only instructions are written to and read from the cache. Similarly, for another unique value in the storage control register, only data will be accessed in the cache. Yet another value will allow both data and instructions in the L2 cache to be accessed by the CPU.

Abstract: A digital/analog quadratic converter (DACQ) composed by a pair of linear converters connected in cascade has a direct coupling of the output node of the first converter (DAC1) with a node of a R-2R type resistive network of the second converter (DAC2) corresponding to the LSB stage of the R-2R type resistive network. High impedance nodes, notably the input node of the second linear converter, are advantageously eliminated from the "current path" thus markedly reducing the problems of relatively long settling times of high impedance nodes (having intrinsically large parasitic capacitances associated therewith). The peculiar architecture of the quadratic converter provides also for a remarkable simplification of the circuit. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
