Title: Precise positioner for pain therapy instrument head
Inventor: HAUPTMANN GERHARD DIPL ING
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: The  non-invasive pain treatment system based on bombarding the pain centre with radiation from an external source requires a coupling device (1) which directs the treatment head towards the exact point of the pain and determines the optimal focal distance between instrument head and contact point. This can be achieved by applying a metallised plaster (3) to the patient's body at the pain centre which activates a probe (2). The probe may use an induction coil or a pair of electrodes. This forms a circuit and measures change in capacitance, giving an acoustic or optical signal. Maximum inductivity is reached when the probe is immediately above the marker. The probe may work on the Hall effect or on ultrasound.

Patent DE-19711682-A1 (DE)
Title: Vehicle heater deriving heat from hydraulic circuit constriction
Inventor: KODAMA HISASHI
IPC: B60H1/03
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: Fluid from a reservoir (31) normally circulates via a pump (12), fan hydraulic motor (32) and oil cooler (34). Engine coolant is pumped (16) through the engine (11) and radiator (14) or bypass (23,24). A parallel coolant circuit (19,28) supplies the passenger cabin heater (18) via a reservoir (25) containing a heat exchange coil (37) fed by an alternative hydraulic circuit (35a,35b). Both pumps are belt-driven by the engine (20). An electronic controller (38) responds to a heater switch-on signal by opening the heater circuit coolant valve (27). If the coolant temperature is low, it also diverts (33) the hydraulic flow to the alternative circuit, in which a constriction (36), optionally variable with temperature, heats the circulating fluid. This heat is transferred (37) to the coolant in the heater reservoir (25).
