Abstract: A monolithic tube clamp made of plastics comprising two curved wings (11, 12) which protrude from a base (13) which can be anchored to a wall, to a ceiling, or to a support, each wing (11, 12) having an articulation region (15a, 15b) proximate to the base (13) and a hook-shaped mutual engagement end region (16, 17) defining a hook (18, 19). The hooks (18, 19) of the wings are directed towards each other so that they can engage each other, providing a snap-together closure, accordingly forming a first portion of a seat (20) for a tube (21) in standard position. The tube clamp further comprises a link strap (22) which connects the two wings (11, 12) in regions (23, 24) thereof which are respectively located at a point which is intermediate between the corresponding articulation region (15a, 15b) and the corresponding mutual engagement end region (16, 17), each one of the two wings forming a second-class lever together with the link strap (22). The link strap (22) also forms a second portion for completing the seat (20) and the tube (21) can be pushed beyond the standard position, together with the link strap (22), by such an extent as to allow the snap-action closure of the hooks (18, 19) owing to the traction applied to the wings (11, 12).

Abstract: An original rotary washing- or polishing roller of a vehicle-washing plant has a core carrying soft strips of textile- or furry material. Attached to flexible carrier discs (2), their working regions overlap. Strip fly out to larger diameter; hence only they touch the vehicle. In this original design, soft foam discs supports (4, 4') have central circular openings (4a) smaller than the core diameter (D2), onto which they are pushed, in alternation with the discs (2). The grip resulting, forms a type of slipping coupling and transmits limited torque from the core (1) to the supports and discs. End supports (4') rest against retaining discs (5) connecting to the roller core (1). Preferably the support discs (4, 4') are made of open-cell, soft polyurethane (PUR) foam.

Abstract: Purification of liquid containing solids where water is stored in a tank (1) with an inlet (2) and an outlet (3). The vessel contains loose filter particles, held back from the outlet (3) by e.g. a gauze (8). The flow of liquid enters the tank to form an eddy zone (5) which then translates to a low-speed flow zone (6) immediately before the gauze (8). Above a certain unit area liquid/solid charge-rate threshold, a slow-flow zone is created immediately before the gauze (8), which retains an easily-permeable filter layer of high filter capacity without any unwanted fence transposition. The eddy zone (5) may also be used as a bio-reactor with e.g. introduction of additional oxygen. The filter layer is regenerated by closing off the inlet (2) and outlet (3), breaking down the stationery filter layer. The eddy zone (5) is then broken down into smaller eddies, liberating the captured solids. After the solid-enriched suspension has been drawn off, the tank (1) is re-filled with fresh liquid and after a certain area-charge of solid particles has been reached, a fresh filter layer forms independently.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de production de pellicules de diamant selon la méthode de synthèse en phase vapeur. Ce procédé consiste générer une décharge luminescente de courant continu dans un intervalle de décharge situé entre une anode et une cathode et dans un flux d'hydrogène. Le substrat est chauffé à une température de 700 à 900° C, après quoi la pellicule de diamant est déposée sur le substrat diélectrique et sur le substrat conducteur selon une densité du courant de décharge qui varie de 0,3 à 2 A/cm2. Cette déposition se fait dans un mélange d'hydrogène et d'un gaz contenant du carbone, ce dernier étant présent dans le flux gazeux selon une concentration allant de 3 à 10 %. On élimine ensuite du flux d'hydrogène les excédants de phase graphite de la décharge, cette élimination durant de 5 à 10 minutes. On peut utiliser, en qualité de gaz contenant du carbone, du méthane selon une concentration de 3 à 8 %. Le substrat peut être disposé sur un support mis à la terre ou isolé qui se trouve hors de l'intervalle de décharge à une distance de 0,1 à 5 mm de l'anode. L'anode se présente sous forme d'un réseau de fil de molybdène dont le diamètre varie de 0,1 à 1 mm et dont le pas varie de 1 à 3 mm. Lors de la déposition de la pellicule de diamant sur le substrat conducteur, ce dernier peut disposé sur l'anode. Lors de la déposition d'une pellicule de diamant sur un substrat en silicium, on élimine l'oxyde de silicium naturel du substrat avant de procéder à la déposition, ceci pendant une durée de 10 à 20 minutes, dans un flux d'hydrogène et selon un courant allant de 0,3 à 2 A/cm2. On crée ensuite sur le substrat une couche de carbure de silicium en envoyant dans le flux gazeux de 7 à 12 % de méthane pendant une durée de 10 à 20 minutes. Les pellicules de diamant obtenues d'après ce procédé possèdent une structure nano-cristalline, ce qui permet d'obtenir des pellicules ayant un seuil d'émission allant de 3 à 4 V/νm et une densité de courant supérieure à 100 mA/cm2. Les caractéristiques de ces pellicules de diamant permettent de les utiliser dans la fabrication d'affichages plats, dans des microscopes électroniques, dans l'électronique des micro-ondes, ainsi que dans de nombreuses autres applications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to treat Barrett's tissue, a pre-cancerous condition, by removing the epithelium above the lower esophageal sphincter through cryo-ablation. An endoscope with fiber optics is used to view the operation, and a catheter for supplying liquid nitrogen is passed through the lumen of the endoscope. Liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly onto the Barrett's tissue through the catheter while the physician views the operation through the fiberoptics of the endoscope and controls the spray via a valve. Freezing is indicated by whiteness and shows that the epithelium has been cryoablated. The apparatus can also be used to treat various other gastrointestinal tract lesions. A most important and significant feature of this invention is the fact that the liquid nitrogen spray is applied in the esophagus at low pressure.
