Title: Suture anchor and suture anchor installation tool
Inventor: GATTURNA ROLAND F
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 1990-02-07
Abstract: A novel suture anchor comprising (a) a coupling member having a first end portion and a reduced second end portion, and a shoulder formed at the junction of the first end portion and the reduced second end portion, (b) at least one barb, the barb having a first end and a second end and being curved in its normal unstressed state and being capable of being elastically deformed to a substantially straight configuration, the barb being attached to the coupling member so that the second end of the barb is substantially displaced from the coupling member when the barb is in its normal unstressed state but is capable of being aligned with the coupling member when the barb is deformed to a substantially straight length, and (c) attachment means for attaching one end of a suture to the suture anchor. The suture anchor is installed in a hole in bone using a suitable installation tool by aligning the second end of the barb with the coupling member, inserting the anchor in the hole, and then permitting the second end of the barb to assume a displaced position whereby the barb and coupling member are driven into engagement with the sidewall of the hole.

Title: Unit dose dry powder inhaler
Inventor: SCHULTZ ROBERT K
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1996-03-11
Abstract: A dry powder inhaler has a front section holding a unit dose cartridge over a mixing chamber. An impeller is rotatably mounted within the mixing chamber. A rear section of the inhaler includes a motor, a breath actuated switch, and pins for positioning the unit dose cartridge in the front section and driving a plunger through the unit dose cartridge, to deposit a powdered drug into the mixing chamber, as the front and rear sections are brought together. A filter wheel allows air to flow forward from the rear section into the mixing chamber, but substantially prevents stray drug powder from migrating rearwardly to the rear section. The front section is preferably disposable, while the rear section is advantageously reusable.

Title: Method of manufacturing a stacked stator assembly for a linear motor
Inventor: HOLLINGSWORTH PHILIP
IPC: H02K41/02
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: A stator assembly has a pair of end holes leading to a hollow region which has a larger diameter than the end holes. The assembly is manufactured around an elongated pole having a diameter equal to the end holes, which is surrounded by a temporary sleeve whose thickness fills the gap between the pole and the inner wall of the hollow region. The pieces of the assembly are placed onto the pole such that the sleeve lies within the hollow region, to thereby align them correctly with one another. After the pieces are secured to each other, the pole is removed, leaving the sleeve within the hollow region, and then the sleeve is removed. The sleeve may be flexible in order to expedite its removal from the hollow, and also may be of a magnetic material that is kept in place by magnetic forces generated by the stator assembly or by the pole.

Title: Explosive charge for explosive welding of large diameter metal pipe
Inventor: INC C-I-L
IPC: B23K20/08
Filed: 1980-05-02
Abstract: There is disclosed a method for the explosive welding together of sections of large diameter metal pipe of the kind used in the construction of high volume oil and gas pipelines. In the method, internal and external band charges of welding explosive are simultaneously detonated adjacent to overlapped telescoped pipe ends. The explosive band charges have a tapered or wedged shape in the width cross-section of the band and are placed so that the thicker edge of the band is closed to the narrow diameter of the female flared pipe area and initiation is made along the thicker edge. The velocity of detonation of the initiating explosive is selected so that welding charges are simultaneously detonated around the pipes while maintaining the detonation fronts at superimposed locations and at a large angle to the pipe axis. This avoids unbalancing forces on the pipes and minimizes the collision of circumferential shock waves thus preventing pipe damage and imperfect welds.

Date Sep. 1, 1994A process for the purification of terephthalic acid is disclosed. A slurry containing crystals in an impurity-containing mother liquor under elevated pressure and temperature conditions is processed to separate the crystals from the mother liquor. The processing comprises highly efficient separation and washing of the crystals under the elevated temperature and pressure conditions in a unit (32) to produce a mass of crystals having a low level of contamination. The washed crystals are reslurried in aqueous medium (vessel 40) and transferred to a secondary separation unit (34) operating under lower pressure and temperature conditions, the transfer being effected by flashing down (in vessel 44) to the lower pressure. The filtrate (41) from unit (34), and optionally wash liquor used in unit (34), is used to establish a recirculating flow whereby the aqueous medium used for reslurrying the crystals prior to pressure let-down is repeatedly re-used.

Title: Process for treating a liquid involving cation exchange and selective removal of nitrate ions from the liquid, and ion exchange resin mixtures suitable for use therein
Inventor: PRUNAC ALAIN DENIS LOUIS
IPC: B01J47/04
Filed: 1986-12-04
Abstract: A process is disclosed for exchanging hardness ions and selectively removing nitrate ions from a liquid, e.g. water, comprising passing the liquid through a cation/anion exchange resin mixture, whereby (i) hardness ions are exchanged, (ii) cations and nitrate ions, present in the liquid before its passage through the resin mixture, are each independently removed or reduced to a desired level, and (iii) the anion exchange resin is loaded with nitrate ions to at least 80% of its nitrate removal capacity, and wherein the resin mixture is at least initially regenerated with chloride salt. If the process is used to soften and selectively remove nitrate ions from water, the disadvantageous precipitation of calcium carbonate and/or calcium sulfate during subsequent regeneration of the resin mixture can be avoided. The invention also discloses a resin mixture suitable for use in the process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing calls for a subscriber based on the identification of the calling party or the originating line. Generally, the present invention operates to identify a calling party or originating line and then select a routing list based on this identification. Once a routing list has been selected, the call will be routed to the destination in the routing list. More specifically, when a call is received, an inquiry is made regarding the identity of the calling party or calling line. If the identification can be determined, then an attempt to retrieve a routing list associated with this identification is made. If a routing list has been provided for the identified party or line, the routing list will be retrieved. If a routing list has not been provided for the identified party or line, a default routing list will be selected for routing the call.

Title: Method and device for installing a cable in a cableduct
Inventor: GRIFFIOEN WILLEM
IPC: H02G1/08
Filed: 1991-07-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a device and a method for installing a cable in a tubular cable duct. In the method, the foremost end (3) of the cable (1) in the duct (10) and subsequent portions of the cable are first accelerated in a short time with continuous supply of further portions of cable from a torsion-free store. Then, from the instant a certain speed v is reached, the cable is maintained at a tension such that, at said speed and tension, centrifugal forces in bends and inwardly pulling components of tensioning forces in the cable compensate for one another at the position of said bends, the further portions of the cable being supplied at a supply speed such that the part of the cable already fed into the duct can continue to slide on the basis of its mass moment of inertia. The acceleration can be achieved by causing propelling forces to act on the cable upstream of the inlet end (10a) of the duct in conjunction with pulling forces which act at least on the foremost end (3) of the cable (1) in the duct. The magnitude of at least the propelling forces is controlled by adjusting to zero the net transverse force on the cable, in a bend (8; 51) in the cable located beyond the position where the propelling forces act upon the cable in the direction of movement of the cable. Advantages are that much higher installation speeds and/or greater installation lengths in one go are possible. <IMAGE>
