Patent EP-0801578-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MARTTILA CONSTANCE M
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1996-01-05
Abstract: A pump (23) used to infuse a fluid into a patient (27) is controlled in accordance with a plurality of parameters entered by an operator. These parameters define a protocol that is applied in controlling the operation of the pump to determine the rate, volume, and timing of the fluid infusion. The operator enters the parameters using a keypad (16) in response to prompts provided on a display (18). Once the parameters for a current protocol are entered, they can be stored as a speed protocol by selecting that option from a menu appearing on the display. Up to three speed protocols can be stored in memory in the disclosed preferred embodiment. When preparing to infuse a medicinal fluid, an operator can elect to enter a new protocol or to select an appropriate speed protocol stored in memory for loading as the current protocol. Use of stored speed protocols saves time and reduces the likelihood of errors that can occur when data defining the parameters controlling the infusion process are entered by an operator.

Title: Connexion de fils, sectionnement de fils et formation de spheres a leurs extremites
Inventor: ELDRIDGE BENJAMIN N
IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne l'amélioration de l'efficacité de décharges électriques pour couper des fils de connexion (102,202) et/ou former des sphères (234, 236) aux extrémités des fils de connexion (y compris des fils de connexion (202) déjà coupés par d'autres mécanismes). Cette amélioration consiste à effectuer les décharges électriques en présence d'une lumière ultraviolette (130). Un 'écartement d'électrodes' est formé entre une électrode sans flamme électronique (118, 232) et le fil (102, 202), l'un des deux servant de cathode pour l'écartement d'électrodes. De préférence, la lumière ultraviolette (130) est dirigée au niveau de l'élément servant de cathode. La photoémission au niveau de l'élément formant cathode stabilise la formation de l'arc/du plasma et permet d'obtenir des résultats d'une meilleure fiabilité. Cette technique peut être utilisée en association avec des systèmes d'électrodes sans flamme électronique négatives ou positives, et permet d'améliorer tant les photoémissions directes que les photoémissions à effet de champ.

Abstract: A system (200) for enhancing the television presentation of an object at a sporting event includes a sensor (210, 212, 214, 216), which determines the location of the object. Based on the location of the object and the field of view of a broadcast camera (201, 202, 203, 204), a processor (302) determines the position of the object in the video frame of the broadcast camera. Once knowing where the object is positioned within the video frame, the television signal can be edited or augmented to enhance the presentation of the object.

Date Apr. 24, 1997A magnetic field sensor consists of a cylinder (2) with a core of premagnetized amorphous ferromagnetic metal. The inductance of the coil (2) is controlled by earth magnetic field HE and forms part of an L.C. oscillator (1). An adjusting device is provided to smooth out fluctuations from a target value in the oscillator frequency caused by the action of the field HE on the oscillator coil (2). This is done by allowing another adjustable magnetic field to influence the inductance (2) of the oscillator (1): the adjustable magnetic field is generated by a second coil (3) in the form of a compensating coil and the current flux (1) through the second coil (3) is controlled by the adjusting device in such a way that the magnetic field generated by the second coil (3) compensates for the action of the field HE on the first coil (2); and a control logic element (8) changes the polarity of the current flux (I) through the compensating coil (3) at a rate which matches the fluctuations with time of the field HE by synchronous actuation of switches (9a) and (9b). Where the field HE is present for both current directions, the respective compensating currents are measured and the difference determined as the variable proportional to the field strength of the field HE.

Abstract: Des systèmes et des procédés de fractionnement du sang établissent une communication en ligne entre un conteneur et une source de sang contenant des leucocytes et des plaquettes, telle qu'un donneur humain. Ces systèmes et procédés créent, entre la source de sang et le conteneur, un champ centrifuge (14) qui sépare du sang une suspension de plaquettes non finie dont les caractéristiques physiologiques premières diffèrent des caractéristiques physiologiques désirées. Ces systèmes et procédés pompent la suspension de plaquettes non finie hors du champ centrifuge au travers d'un appareil de finissage (24). Ledit appareil de finissage (24) transforme la caractéristique physiologique première en caractéristique physiologique désirée, et ce faisant, crée la suspension de plaquettes finie. Ces systèmes et procédés transfèrent la suspension de plaquettes finie de l'appareil de finissage directement dans le conteneur. Ces systèmes et procédés fonctionnent sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'interrompre la communication en ligne établie entre le conteneur et la source de sang.

Abstract: On a chemisé deux tuyaux d'acier extérieurs (16 et 16A) à l'aide d'un tuyau de chemisage (18 et 18A) résistant à la corrosion, en matière plastique compressible et se terminant juste avant les extrémités (20, 20A) des tuyaux extérieurs, afin de laisser un évidement annulaire ou épaulement (24 et 24A) au niveau de ces extrémités. Un élément tubulaire jointif (2), en matériau ductile, déformable de manière plastique et résistant à la corrosion, par exemple du cuivre ou de l'acier inoxydable, présente deux portions d'extrémité tubulaires (4 et 6) s'étendant dans des directions opposées à partir d'une portion tubulaire intermédiaire (8) possédant un diamètre externe supérieur à celui des portions d'extrémité (4 et 6) et un diamètre interne également supérieur à celui de ces portions d'extrémité (4 et 6), lesquelles sont ceinturées par des nervures (12). A l'origine, le diamètre externe des portions d'extrémité (4, 6) est inférieur au diamètre interne des tuyaux de chemisage (18, 18A). Ainsi, on peut ajuster chaque tuyau chemisé (16, 16A) sur les portions d'extrémité respectives (4 et 6), la portion intermédiaire (8) occupant l'épaulement combiné (24, 24A). Un outil, appliqué de manière interne, dilate radialement les portions d'extrémité (4 et 6) afin de comprimer les tuyaux de chemisage en matière plastique (18, 18A) contre les tuyaux extérieurs (16, 16A), cette compression représentant entre 8 et 30 % de l'épaisseur de la paroi des tuyaux de chemisage. Puis on soude ensemble les extrémités adjacentes (20, 20A) des tuyaux extérieurs, au niveau de 28. La surface extérieure de la portion intermédiaire (8) peut porter le matériau d'isolation thermique. L'élément jointif (2) permet de conserver l'intégrité de la résistance à la corrosion interne, au niveau du raccord entre les tuyaux extérieurs.
