Abstract: A pair of dies (14, 16) is disclosed for attaching a surgical needle (34) having a generally cylindrical end portion defining an elongated aperture (36) having a generally circular cross-section and a suture (38) having a generally elongated end portion of generally circular cross-section corresponding in dimension to the elongated aperture (36) of the first needle (34). Each die (14, 16) has a pair of extensions (20, 22) spaced apart from each other and defines a generally circular crimping surface (19) portion corresponding in dimension and configuration to the generally cylindrical outer surface portion of the needle (34). The space defines a unique relief zone (18) between the pair of extensions (20, 22) of the die (14, 16) and is of configuration and dimension sufficient such that when the suture (38) is positioned within the aperture (36) of the needle (34) and the dies (14, 16) are respectively positioned about the corresponding portion of the needle (34), the application of impact force to the dies (14, 16) will cause crimping of the needle (34) with respect to the suture (38) so as to attach the suture (38) and the needle (34) while portions of material forming part of the needle (34) adjacent the stricken area are permitted to be deformed and to collect within the relief zones (18) defined between the pairs of arcuate surface portions (19). Generally arcuate die overlap portions (21) may be optionally provided on each die (14, 16). A method of attaching a surgical needle (34) to a suture (38) is also disclosed.

Abstract: A golf training device is for use on a golf driving range and includes a driving platform (7) positioned at one end of the driving range and a wall (10) positioned on the driving range a predetermined distance from the driving platform (7). The wall (10) has a front surface facing the driving platform (7) and covered by a padding member (20) made of a soft, shock absorbent material. The padding member (20) has several horizontal angle graduations (21) for indicating the angle at which a golf ball has been driven from the driving platform (7), and a vertical reference line (22) aligned with the driving platform (7) for indicating the direction of the projectile path of the golf ball. A velocity sensor (40) is mounted on the driving platform (7) for measuring the initial velocity of the golf ball driven from the driving platform (7). A rough approximation of the range of the golf ball can then be determined by using appropriate projectile formulas even though the golf ball does not complete its projectile path because it hits the wall (10).

Title: Storage and transport device for plates.
Inventor: SCHMIDMEISTER GERHARD
IPC: B65G1/14
Filed: 1990-02-02
Abstract: The object of the invention is a device for storing and transporting painted plates, e.g. doors, by means of individual frames known as "door bearers". In the present state of the art, the horizontally arranged doors are stacked by laying frames releasably attached to each end of the door one on top of another. The drawback of this is the necessity for a handler to hold the stack to prevent it from slipping during transport. The aim of the invention is therefore to provide a transport device using one handler only while preventing damage to the transported plates. To achieve this aim use is made of a tubular chassis (10) with rectangular basic frames (14) which may be telescopic in two mutually perpendicular horizontal directions, the corners of which are fitted with vertical posts (22) each pair of which bears possibly telescopic cross-members (26) parallel to transverse shanks (16) on which sit two vertical bars (12) to clamp a horizontal stack of vertically upright frames (36). The advantage of this system is the force-locking and laterally also shape-locking interconnection of all the frames together and to the chassis which, at least when fitted on the transport vehicle, requires only the driver and not a load handler as well.

Abstract: The ability of viruses to undergo recombination within tandemly arranged homologous sequences can be utilized to generate chimeric genes and proteins. Tandemly arranged homologous sequences will rapidly degenerate in a random fashion to yield a single copy comprised of portions of both original sequences. Therefore, a recombinant virus which contains two related but non-identical genes in tandem array yields a population of recombinant viruses which contain a spectrum of hybrid sequences derived from recombination between the original genes. The viruses, therefore, contain hybrid DNA sequences that encode proteins with new epitopes or different combinations of epitopes. Vaccines are derived which may afford protection against a broad spectrum of antigen types.

Title: Procede de fabrication d'objets presentant des sections transversales complexes de petite dimension
Inventor: JANSEN KLAUS
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 1990-05-17
Abstract: La technique industrielle a souvent besoin de recourir à des composants micro-optiques, tels que fibres et coupleurs optiques, et à des composants micro-mécaniques, qui présentent des sections transversales complexes de dimensions différentes soit aux extrémités opposées soit, pour des coupleurs directionnels, en certains points sur la longueur des coupleurs. Dans la présente invention, un matériau soluble (38) est ajouté à au moins une préforme primaire (35) pour produire une préforme secondaire (37) de section transversale circulaire. On étire ensuite la préforme secondaire pour obtenir la réduction nécessaire de la section transversale de la préforme primaire, tout en conservant la forme de la section transversale de la préforme secondaire. Le matériau soluble est ensuite retiré et une partie du produit qui en résulte est chauffée et plastiquement déformée jusqu'à présenter des extrémités (39 et 40) de sections transversales différentes ou d'autres points de sections transversales différentes, comme requis. Dans un autre aspect de la présente invention, deux matériaux solubles présentant des solubilités différentes sont utilisés. Après que le matériau le plus soluble ait été retiré, une opération dans laquelle entre le matériau le moins soluble peut être effectuée, puis ce matériau moins soluble est au moins partiellement retiré.

Le deuxième montage de roues planétaires (36) est relié à un élément tubulaire du couple moteur (82) d'un élément de support de chaîne (38) faisant tourner une chaîne motrice (40). L'arbre d'arrivée de puissance (44), le premier et le deuxième montage de roues dentées planétaires (34, 36), et l'élément tubulaire du couple moteur (82) sont pratiquement coaxiaux, et le premier et le deuxième montages de roues dentées planétaires sont disposés à l'intérieur des éléments de support de chaînes (38). En disposant les montages planétaires (34, 36) à l'intérieur de l'élément de support de chaînes (38), des pignons, moyeux, cannelures et arbres supplémentaires ne sont pas nécessaires et les montages planétaires (34, 36) sont moins susceptibles d'être endommagés. Les montages de roues dentées planétaires (34, 36) sont en grande partie flottants, ce qui permet d'éviter le coût et la complexité de supports de coussinets supplémentaires.

Abstract: Un système (1) de microcellules divisé en zones, à balayage de secteurs, pour systèmes téléphoniques cellulaires, comporte une pluralité de cellules contiguës, ayant chacune un ensemble différent et assigné de canaux de fréquences de transmission, et une capacité de transfert permettant de maintenir une communication de cellule à cellule. Le système comprend au moins une cellule (11) dotée d'une pluralité d'ensembles d'antennes (13, 15, 17). Chaque ensemble est positionné au niveau d'un sous-site (10, 16, 18) respectif et est configuré de sorte que la propagation et la réception de signaux sont limitées à une zone (13z, 15z, 17z) de transmission se trouvant dans les limites de la cellule, et représentant moins en superficie que cette dernière. Un dispositif (79) de commande contrôle l'intensité du signal reçu par chaque ensemble d'antennes. La transmission, au niveau de chaque canal de fréquence, est confinée à l'ensemble d'antennes ayant le signal reçu le plus fort, limitant ainsi la propagation du signal à cette zone de transmission. Dans un mode de réalisation, le contrôle d'intensité du signal est prévu au niveau de chaque sous-site, ainsi la transmission est limitée à un sous-ensemble spécifique d'antennes au niveau du sous-site, et à un secteur (115x, 115y, 115z) limité dans la zone de transmission.

Abstract: A device for cutting stacked sheet products has a table surface which consists of a feeding field for receiving the products to be cut, a working field (2) above which are situated a cutting knife (5) and a pressing beam (6), and a delivery field (24) situated in front of this and forming part of a first guide (17) which is movable in the advancing direction (C) of the products to be cut and opposite thereto. …<??>According to the invention, it is proposed that during severing of the stack (8) to form a cut stack (8'), the first guide (17) be tilted (arrow D), the cut stack (8') being securely held by the guide (17) owing to its construction with a lower, horizontal leg (17b) and an adjoining vertical leg (17a). Displacement of the individual sheet layers or undesired toppling of the cut stack (8') is thus effectively prevented precisely when cutting narrow stack strips. In the tilted position of the first guide (17), the latter is moved together with the cut stack (8') away from the cutting plane (7), and a second guide (29) is raised into the gap formed between the first guide (17) and the cutting plane (7), in such a way that after transferring the first guide (17) into that position in which the leg (17a) is correctly oriented again, the cut stack (8') is aligned additionally on the second guide (29). The two guides (17, 29) form a transverse channel, through which the cut stack (8') can then be pushed out by means of an ejector (33). …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: The prevention of floating-substance deposits in the surplus disposal works of sewerage systems essentially reduces pollution-load disposal into the receiving channels. For this reason, the floating downflow baffles, which prevent the siphon-type disposal state, in particular of fixed downflow baffles, represent essential technical progress. The improvement of the guiding and sealing properties and the use of mass-production of floating downflow baffles can be achieved, however, only with the aid of a guiding (8) which is designed for this development and plays a part in conforming to the diverse installation criteria in surplus disposal works. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a doped glass body. The glass body is formed by adding a dopant to a glass preform, at least part of which has interconnective pores. The porous preform is immersed in a solution of a salt of the dopant dissolved in an organic solvent having no OH groups. The solvent is removed, and the porous glass preform is heat treated to consolidate it into a non-porous glassy body containing the dopant dispersed throughout at least a portion of the body. An OH-free solvent is selected because of its beneficial effect on the preform during the drying step. Whereas OH-containing solvents such as water and alcohol caused cracking and/or flaking of the outer surface of the porous preform following the drying step, an undamaged surface is formed by the present invention.
