Patent EP-0859935-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FUENFSCHILLING MATHIAS R
IPC: C03B5/26
Filed: 1996-11-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne une installation et un procédé pour la décomposition thermique, la fusion, la vitrification et la récupération de matériaux provenant de déchets et de résidus de natures les plus variées, à haute température, dans une chambre de réaction fermée, munie d'ouvertures pour l'alimentation en produits à traiter et en substances participant à la réaction et pour l'évacuation des produits de réaction gazeux ou liquides. Le matériau à traiter est introduit dans le réacteur par des dispositifs de chargement (6) et traité thermiquement au moyen de brûleurs (3). La matière en fusion peut être agitée au moyen d'éléments de gazéification spéciaux (10). La matière en fusion peut être soumise, en plus d'un brassage au moyen d'éléments de soufflage verticaux, à un mouvement de rotation provoqué par des éléments disposés tangentiellement. Le réglage du courant gazeux  s'effectue par l'intermédiaire de vannes commandées par un régulateur de gaz programmable (14). Pour des matières en fusion appropriées, le mouvement de rotation peut être renforcé, si on le désire, par des agitateurs électromagnétiques (11). Ce mouvement de rotation permet d'obtenir une répartition uniforme du matériau dans la masse en fusion, cependant que la gazéification verticale contribue à un brassage intensif de cette masse. Les deux effets accélèrent la formation de surfaces libres et le contact intensif du matériau avec les sources de chaleur riches en énergie, ce qui permet d'obtenir une excellente efficacité réactionnelle. Les gaz de combustion formés sont envoyés, via des moyens d'extraction, dans des dispositifs de traitement ultérieur connus en soi. Le matériau à traiter peut également être introduit sous la surface de la matière en fusion. Dès que le traitement est terminé, le moulage contrôlé est effectué par l'intermédiaire du système de moulage avec le dispositif de fermeture et le dispositif de coulée.

Abstract: An optical device of this invention is such that complicated adjustment of the
arrangement is not needed unlike a conventional optical device for outputting light having
a frequency different from that of the input light by means of a nonlinear optical crystal.
Electrodes (12A and 12B) for Q-switching, electrodes (9A and 9B) for phase adjustment
and a periodical domain inversion portion (15) are disposed at predetermined positions in
path (2) inside an optical crystal body (1) having nonlinear optical properties,
electro-optical properties and laser activity. Oscillation light (P1) is produced by inputting
light (P0) given from the input side (3), and output light (P2) having a frequency different
from the frequency of the input light (P0) is outputted from the output side (4) by the
nonlinear optical property and by the generation of harmonic or by optical parametric
oscillation by use of the periodical domain inversion portion (15). The refractive index of
the part of nonlinear crystal body (1) between the phase adjustment electrodes (9A and 9B)
is changed by changing the voltage between the electrodes (9A and 9B), and the frequency
of resonance over the full length (Lt) of the path (2) is thus adjusted. The Q-switching of
oscillation light (P) is conducted by changing the refractive index of an oblique crossing
portion of the oblique side (G) of the electrode (12A) and the path (2) by changing the
voltage between the Q switch electrodes (12A and 12B).

Abstract: Immunoapheresis treatment for cardiomyopathy comprises passing the patient's plasma over a column having coupled thereto a specific ligand for human immunoglobulin, thereby removing a significant portion of the immunoglobulin from the patient's plasma, and then reinfusing the plasma to the patient. The invention is the use of a specific ligand for human immunoglobulin in the manufacture of a column having the ligand coupled thereto, the column being useful for immunoapheresis treatment of a patient with cardiomyopathy. The specific ligand binds, and thereby removes, human autoantibodies which are harmful to cardiac tissue such as antibodies against beta<SUB>1</SUB>-adrenergic receptors, ADP-ATP carriers, alpha and beta myosin heavy chains, and adenine nucleotide translocators. Immunoapheresis treatment using the column results in improvement of hemodynamic parameters such as mean arterial pressure, mean pulmonary pressure, pumonary capillary wedge pressure, right atrial pressure, cardiac output, cariac index, stroke volume index, and systemic vascular resistance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un dispositif de ventilation liquide permettant d'accroître l'efficacité de la réanimation cardio-respiratoire. Selon la méthode, on remplace les gaz pulmonaires par un liquide contenant de l'oxygène et du gaz carbonique, de façon à lutter contre la diminution de l'efficacité du pompage cardiaque que l'on voit durant la réanimation à thorax fermé par compression/décompression conventionnelle ou active sans respirateur mécanique. Un avantage est lié au fait que l'on fournit un flux continu de milieu de ventilation liquide (ou gazeux) durant tout le cycle de compression/réexpansion thoracique, ce qui accélère à la fois les échanges gazeux et le refroidissement ou le réchauffement du patient ou de l'animal. Dans le dispositif (100), le liquide respiratoire revient du patient via un tube (101) et lui est amené via un autre tube (190), les deux tubes (101, 190) étant reliés à un tube endotrachéal (200). Le dispositif comprend un réservoir (110), un oxygénateur (120) et un dispositif de chauffage (130).
