Patent EP-0553377-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BRIDGES JACK E
IPC: C02F1/48
Filed: 1992-01-29
Abstract: An energy-efficient method for killing noxious biological organisms (bacteria, insects, etc.) in contaminated materials ranging from liquid, semi-liquid, and solid foods pharmaceuticals and hospital wastes comprises passing the contaminated material through an exposure chamber; screening, comminution, addition of fluid or foam, limited heating, or other pretreatment steps may be required. As it flows through the exposure chamber the contaminated material is subjected to a nonuniform, high-intensity electric field; in that chamber, excessive current flows, including arcing and current "streamers", are suppressed by limiting the current density. The amplitude of the applied current density and the electric field in the exposure chamber are controlled, in accordance with the conductivity and/or dielectric constant of the contaminated material, so that the electric field intensity is of the order of 3,000 volts/centimeter or more.

Abstract: A rotary fluid energy translating device of the sliding vane type useful as a pump or motor comprising a pressure contained vane unit assembly (20) adapted to be submerged in a body of liquid. The pressure contained vane unit assembly comprises a pair of support plates (30,31), a cam ring (32) interposed between the support plates, a rotor (60) rotatably mounted in the cam ring (32) and having a plurality of circumferentially extending vanes (61) adapted to engage the contour of the cam ring (32) and a flexible plate (33,34) interposed between the cam ring and each of the support plates. Each support plate (30,31) includes a hub portion (37,49) spaced from its respective flexible plate. The assembly (20) is clamped together with a clamping force in excess of the hydrostatic forces within the assembly. One of the support plates (30) has an axial opening for insertion of a drive shaft (23) into driving connection with the rotor (60) and the other of the support plates (31) has an axial liquid passage (41). Each support plate (30,31) includes radial liquid passages (35,44) defined by a groove at the juncture with its associated flexible plate. When used as a pump, the assembly is submerged in a liquid and the rotor is driven to provide a pump, the radial passages (35,44) provide inlet passages and the axial passage provides an outlet. The pressure contained vane unit assembly can also be used as a hydraulic motor by utilizing the axial passage as an inlet from a pressurized source such that the radial passages function as outlets for the fluid after its energy has been dissipated by rotating the rotor and vanes.

Abstract: A mail handling machine includes a mechanism for serially transporting along a main path 16 sealed and unsealed closed-flap envelopes, some of which may be mis-sealed. The machine also includes a mechanism for opening the flaps of the envelopes. The flap opening mechanism includes a shaped blade 26 pivotally mounted on the machine and located along the main path. There is also a shaped portion 50 of a deck 52 that includes a fixed guide edge 44 located along the path and downstream of the blade 26. The blade strips open the flaps of the unsealed envelopes. A member 42 is hingedly mounted to the trailing edge 36 of the blade. The member is biased so as to obstruct the gap G between the blade and the guide edge to prevent opened flaps from entering the gap. 
     When a mis-sealed envelope engages the blade, causing the blade to move pivotally, the shaped portion cams up the member, which contacts the mis-sealed envelope and urges it out of engagement with the blade.

Abstract: A record book or pad and a method of manufacturing such a book or pad has a stack of sheets in sets A. Each set A consists of a primary sheet P disposed between secondary sheets OS and US. Both faces of the sheet P are provided with a reactive coating 4 of duplicating material and each face of the secondary sheets OS and US which opposes the primary sheet P in the set is provided with reactive coatings 5 of duplicating material. When a marking is applied to the sheet OS for recording a message, pressure from that marking transfers through the sheet OS causing the coatings 4 and 5 between the sheets OS and P to inter-react and form a duplicate marking on a one face of the sheet P. Similarly when a marking is applied to the secondary sheet US, pressure from that marking transfers through the sheet US causing the coatings 4 and 5 between sheet P and US to inter-react and form a duplicate of the marking on the second face of the sheet P. The sheets OS and US may be removed from the book by tearing along perforations 10 and such removed portions may carry low tack adhesive 21. Low tack adhesive 22 may be provided on the secondary sheets OS and US to contact the primary sheet P in the respective sets along the spine part 2 of the book.

Abstract: A novel method for manufacturing a layer of a laminated, disposable absorbent product, such as a fluid-permeable cover layer, an absorbent core layer or a fluid-impervious backing layer thereof, with a conparatively small amount of waste matter. The method conprises the steps of longitudinally cutting a continuous web of starting material according to a cyclic pattern constructed with line segments corresponding to the edge contour of the disposable absorbent product. The cutting operation divides the continuous web in two strips, each strip having a patterned longitudinal edge whose outline corresponds to the cyclic pattern. The strips are crossed and joined to one another in a parallel and in a phase relationship to form a compound web having longitudinal edges producing repeatedly the edge contour of the disposable absorbent product. The invention extends to integrating this method into an operation for manufacturing disposable absorbent products, and to a novel apparatus for carrying out the methods according to the invention and the resulting products.

Abstract: On the same substrate on which the motif is to be printed, a colour atlas is printed under identical printing conditions, which colour atlas has a number of colour panels which themselves each contain a number of colour zones which constitute the silk screens, used for the printing one on top of the other of three selected printing colours from a limited number of predetermined printing colours with different gradation of the raster percentages of the said silk screens upon which the printing is based, for the three printing colours. The original is divided into a multiplicity of, in particular, dot-shaped image areas and the colour to be printed in each of these areas is determined. By comparison with the colour zone of the colour atlas, the screen percentages of the silk screens are determined for each area. With reference to these raster percentages, the required half-tone films and, from these, the silk screens for the printing colours involved are produced. The printing of the motif takes place in a silk screen printer with the silk screens produced in this way. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Appareil et procédé servant à acheminer des dispositifs (80) surdimensionnés ou à large passage interne à travers des canaux (20) corporels. L'appareil comprend un ballonnet gonflable et allongé (33) dont le diamètre intérieur est légèrement supérieur au diamètre extérieur du dispositif (80) devant être introduit dans le canal (20). Un fil de guidage (37) peut être utilisé pour aider à introduire le ballonnet (33) dans le canal (20). Une chambre d'insertion (50) de dispositif est fixée à l'extrémité proximale (35) du ballonnet (33) et sert à loger de manière temporaire le dispositif (80) en train d'être introduit dans le canal (20). Le dispositif (80) lui-même comprend une tige d'amenée située au moins en partie dans la chambre d'insertion. Un dispositif de gonflage (69) sert à gonfler le ballonnet à l'aide d'un fluide biologiquement compatible (77) une fois que le ballonnet (33) a été inséré dans le canal corporel (20). La partie distale du ballonnet est introduite dans le canal, puis le ballonnet est gonflé afin de dilater et de redresser le canal, et le dispositif peut alors être amené vers l'avant à travers le ballonnet jusqu'au canal. L'invention convient particulièrement à l'insertion de dispositifs surdimensionnés par l'intermédiaire de passages secondaires plus étroits pour les amener dans des passages principaux plus larges, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de l'artère fémorale pour parvenir jusqu'à l'aorte. Après que le dispositif ait traversé le ballonnet jusqu'au canal principal plus large, le ballonnet peut être percé afin d'en libérer le dispositif, ce qui permet de conduire celui-ci plus loin dans le canal jusqu'à une destination telle que le coeur.
