Abstract: A method of filling a can with a non-carbonated product comprises in sequence the steps of (a) filling an open topped can with the product to leave a headspace; (b) blowing a permanent gas into the headspace to substantially fill the headspace and displace water vapour form the headspace; (c) seaming a can end onto the can to close the can; and (d) deforming the can end or can bottom from a first stable shape to a second stable shape so reducing the headspace volume and increase the headspace pressure to a level such that in anticipated conditions of processing, transit and storage the internal pressure remains above 1 atmosphere. The benefits arising are that cans having a thin side wall are supported against abuse or collapse and the cans remain in their desired shape. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the continuous or semi-continuous casting of plates or of billets, in particular in aluminium or in aluminium alloy. The method consists in completely automating the casting, restricting the intervention of the operator, controlling the level of metal in the supply channel, imposing a law on the levels of metal as a function of time, which law is common to all the ingot moulds, after individual laws have been applied to each of the ingot moulds in order to enable them to rejoin this common law, and controlling the descent of the support plate of the false bottoms and the stopping of casting when the programmed length is attained. The device comprises sensors for detecting the heights and levels of metal in the channel and the ingot moulds, an automatic-action system for regulating the levels and controlling various operations: tilting of the furnace, descent of the plate, stopping of casting, and actuators for controlling the flow rate of metal into the ingot moulds. By restricting human intervention, the invention provides greater safety. By permitting more reproducible casting conditions, it affords better cast-product quality. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determination of structural information of a triacylglycerol or a mixture of triacylglycerols. Tn the method it is generated molecular or quasi-molecular ions and the ions are resolved into fractions of a particular mass/charge ratio. The selected ions are collisionally activated, forced to decompose into fragment ions which are then resolved into fragments of a particular mass/charge ratio. The relative abundance of information received from the fraction and fragments and the mass/charge ratio information are used to determine the structure of the triacylglycerol and the proportions of the triacylglycerols in the mixture of triacylglycerols.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing an enhanced capability of detecting and gathering electrical cardiac signals via an array of relatively closely spaced subcutaneous electrodes (located on the body of an implanted device) which may be employed with suitable switching circuits, signal processors, and memory to process the electrical cardiac signals between any selected pair or pairs of the electrode array in order to provide a leadless, orientation insensitive means for receiving the electrical signal from the heart. This far-field EGM may be used to provide storage and analysis of arrhythmic events and to provide control signals for the delivery of various therapies including pacing, cardioversion and defibrillation therapies as well as the delivery of antiarrhythmic drugs, and, in the pacing context, to effect capture detection and automatic stimulation threshold adaptation, recording of PMT episodes, measurement of refractory periods in order to set timing windows for antitachy pacing therapies, and as a control signal for use in adjusting pacing rate to physiologic demand. The housing or case of the subcutaneously implanted medical device is modified to provide an array of electrodes which may be selectively or sequentially coupled in one or more pairs to the terminals of one or more sense amplifiers to pick up, amplify and process the electrical cardiac signals across each electrode pair. In one embodiment, the signals from the selected electrode pairs may be stored and compared to one another in order to determine the sensing vector which provides the largest cardiac signal (in a test mode). Following completion of the test mode, the system may employ the selected subcutaneous ECG signal vector for a number of applications. The implanted device possesses analog-to-digital conversion circuitry for sampling and converting the selected subcutaneous ECG signal to digital data which is stored in a recirculating buffer, the contents of which are transferred to RAM for later data retrieval either periodically or upon the occurrence of an event of interest. In another embodiment, the selected subcutaneous ECG signal is used to confirm capture in conjunction with an algorithm for determining the stimulation threshold of the heart and set stimulation pulse energy at a level exceeding the threshold by a desired safety margin. Further embodiments include replacing the switching approach with parallel linear and nonlinear combinational processing of the signals from the orthogonal electrode pairs of the electrode array, to develop and employ continuous signals insensitive to the orientation variations of the electrode array. These linear and nonlinear embodiments would be used for improving the data storage and autocapture embodiments by providing an optimal signal at all times, while avoiding the switching process.

Abstract: A touch probe (10) includes a fixed structure (12) and a retaining member (16) supported thereon via a strain sensitive load cell (14). A stylus (28) having a supporting body (29) is releasably retained upon the retaining member (16) by means of two cooperating magnets (36, 42), which urge two sets of engagement elements (40, 44) into engagement to kinematically locate the stylus (28) relative to the retaining member (16). The stylus (28) may be removed from engagement with the retaining member (16) in the course of a stylus changing operation, wherein a differently configured stylus is mounted upon the retaining member (16). The stylus (28) may also undergo tilting displacement relative to the retaining member (16) in the course of a measuring operation; the magnets (36, 42) cooperating to return the stylus (28) to its rest position relative to the retaining member (16) after the measuring operation. The engagement elements (36, 42) which provide kinematic location of the stylus (28) and retaining member (16), together with the magnets (36, 42) thus perform two functions: locating and releasably retaining the stylus (28) during a stylus change operation, and providing for overtravel displacement of the stylus (28) during the measuring operation.

Abstract: Ultrasonic sensing systems are incorporated into surgical instruments to monitor operational fields defined by distal ends of the instruments. The instruments include proximal ends for their activation typically including one or a pair of handles which a surgeon grasps and operates, for example by squeezing the handles together or by pivotally moving a trigger portion of the handle relative to a fixed portion of the handle. Circuitry for performing ultrasonic sensing preferably is enclosed in housings defined within the handles of the proximal ends of the instruments. Wiring, preferably running through the instruments, connects the circuitry to transducers formed in or mounted on the distal ends of the surgical instruments. The transducers direct ultrasonic energy to the operational fields defined by the distal ends of the instruments and receive ultrasonic energy reflected from the operational fields. The direction for transmission and receipt of ultrasonic energy is determined by acoustic lenses, angularly oriented transducer mounts or a combination of the two. Signals representative of the tissue or contents of the operational fields of surgical instruments drive audible signal generators or preferably tactile transducers to inform the surgeon of the contents. Tactile transducers are mounted for access by the surgeon, preferably on the handles of the surgical instruments.
