Abstract: Système distributeur de fluide, servant à distribuer une solution stérile sans conservateur. Le système utilise des doubles soupapes (56, 58) à fermeture étanche automatique, montées en série à l'intérieur d'un compartiment terminal (22) qui s'adapte sur l'orifice de sortie d'un récipient à compresssion et à dosage multiple pour prévenir un écoulement rétrograde indésirable du liquide libéré vers l'intérieur de la bouteille au cours du cycle de décompression. Les soupapes utilisées sont des soupapes en bec de canard normalement fermées, et à action directe, qui s'ouvrent pour extraire la solution du récipient lorsqu'une force de compression lui est appliquée, et qui se referment automatiquement dès que cesse la force de compression. Un filtre hydrophobe (34) est prévu pour stériliser l'air de substitution qui pénètre dans le récipient lorsque la force de compression cesse.

Abstract: The device according to the invention is in principle a film stretching system which consists of a first and a second separate conveying chain system (1, 2, 3, 4) with the associated guide tracks and tenter clips, the tenter clips being guided without the strap connections to one another, which are known per se. The first conveying chain system (1, 2) effects the clip conveying from the inlet as far as the fixing region of the system. There the clips are released from the conveying chain system and received by the second conveying chain system (3, 4). The conveying in the second system is carried out at a lower rate through the fixing region, the cooling region as far as the outlet from the system. The rate difference between the two conveying chains is the extent of the film shrinkage to be applied. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Provided is a method for liquefying natural gas which can be readily adapted to LNG plants of all sizes without requiring expensive and special heat exchangers. The liquefaction of feed gas of natural gas and recycle natural gas is carried out with a single-component refrigerant or a mixed refrigerant in a high temperature stage, and with a substantially isentropic expansion in a low temperature stage, and a non-liquefied part of the recycle gas after the expansion step is pressurized with a compressor and recycled along with a recycle stream of non-liquefied par of the feed natural gas, the liquefied part by the refrigerant exchanging heat with the non-liquefied part stream produced from the substantially isentropic expansion, in a plate-fin heat exchanger or the like. The compressor is driven by the power obtained by the substantially isentropic expansion.

Abstract: A multi-lumen, multi-purpose cardiac catheter which incorporates optical filaments and an optical coupler for use with external apparatus for determining the oxygen concentration in the blood of a patient under critical care conditions, as well as incorporating therein a thermal element useable with a second external apparatus for measurement of continuous cardiac output. A thermal plug provides an interface between a temperature control apparatus and the thermal element to simply and accurately monitor and control the temperature of the thermal element. A temperature monitoring circuit in the thermal plug facilitates temperature measurement at the thermal element. The catheter also includes a thermistor and at least one injectate port for enabling the user to also conduct thermal dilution readings and obtain intermittent measurements of cardiac output. The combination of a thermal dilution catheter with a SV02 catheter and a continuous cardiac output catheter gives the multi-purpose catheter above described substantial versatility as well as providing the user with a versatile cardiac catheter device which enables him to conduct multiple evaluations of disparate blood-related parameters which require the use of separate apparatus. Simply by switching from one external apparatus to the other, the user can obtain readings for different blood-related parameters useful in the treatment of the cardiac patient.
