Abstract: A medical injection device is provided which includes a shield system and a syringe which may be coupled to the shield system. The shield system includes a syringe holder, a shield telescopically received in the holder and slidably coupled to the holder and an end fitting which isolates the syringe flange from the holder, preventing damage to the flange. A spring resiliently urges the shield from a retracted position to an extended position. Stop members are provided adjacent the distal end of the holder and the proximal end of the shield for maintaining the shield in the retracted position. The syringe is slidably coupled to the holder, and extends within the shield. Axial movement of the syringe with respect to the holder causes disengagement of the stop members, allowing the spring to move the shield to the extended position. Detents are provided on the holder for maintaining the shield in the extended position.

Abstract: The safety of safety cables may be improved, whereby the system of cable and attachment eye is embodied together such that a greater work-to-break energy is possible. The cable is prepared from a blended yarn, comprising fibres made from relatively rigid, highly tear-resistant plastic filaments from a selection of PBO, carbon fibres and p-aramides and a proportion of fibres made from relatively elastic plastic filaments from selection of m-aramides, PBI, polyurethane (elastane) and polyester. The arrester cable is produced from the blended yarn the ends of which have, for example, been immersed in a resin. The end of the cable thus rests in an attachment eye, comprising a conical tubular section, in which the thickened end of the cable is held by wedging.

Abstract: Method for estimating the internal temperature of a tire in which a calibration step is carried out comprising a series of measurements of internal temperature using an internal temperature sensor for varying external temperatures, loading and tire pressures. A function is then deduced linking internal tire temperature to external tire temperature. Independent claims are made for a device for detecting abnormal function of a motor vehicle tire and a method for the same whereby: during normal running of a vehicle the external temperature is measured and used to estimate tire internal temperature. If there is a significant difference between measured and estimated internal temperatures incorrect tire functioning is indicated.

Abstract: The instant invention is a process for planarizing a microelectronic substrate with a cross-linked polymer dielectric layer, comprising the steps of: (a) heating such a substrate coated with a layer comprising an uncured cross-linkable polymer and a glass transition suppression modifier to a temperature greater than the glass transition temperature of the layer, the temperature being less than the curing temperature of the uncured cross-linkable polymer to form a substrate coated with a heat flowed layer; and (b) heating the substrate coated with the heat flowed layer to a curing temperature of the uncured cross-linkable polymer of the heated layer to cure the uncured cross-linkable polymer to form a planarized substrate wherein the percent planarization at 100 micrometers is greater than fifty percent. The instant invention is a microelectronic device made using the above-described process. The instant invention is a composition of matter, comprising: an essentially solvent free composition comprising an uncured cross-linkable polymer and a glass transition suppression modifier, the composition having a glass transition temperature sufficiently less than the curing temperature of the uncured composition so that if the uncured composition is heated to a temperature above its glass transition temperature but below its curing temperature, the uncured composition will flow.

The resin layer contains a color developing agent allowed to develop a color by irradiation with laser light, and a contrast agent composed of a powder of a metal oxide. The contrasting portion is made from a resin containing a contrast agent composed of a metal powder and has a contrasting function higher than that of the resin layer. A visible marker formed into a spiral shape or the like is formed on the outer surface of the resin layer. The visible marker is formed by color development of the color developing agent by irradiating the surface of the resin layer with laser light. <IMAGE>
