Title: Mechanism for coupling
Inventor: BREZNIK ANDREJ
IPC: A61H15/00
Filed: 1994-03-01
Abstract: The subject of the invention is the mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of coupled parts where the coupling problem of two parts is solved in a simple way; in addition, it allows for adjustment and/or change of the reciprocal position of such coupled parts without any uncoupling. The invention will be explained on the example of its application in the hand massage appliance. The  mechanism for coupling and adjustable movement of coupled parts, which is the subject of the described invention, consists of only two constructional parts, the plug-in element (A) and the socket (B). The design and the form of both parts secure a reliable coupling that does not fall apart at movement of one part towards the other.  This is provided by a specially designed plug-in element with a bevelled edge (4a) on the rim of shanks (4); on the passage between the main part (1) and the body (3) is a toothed prolongation (2); at coupling the edges (4a) of shanks (4) fit snugly into the edge (8) of the borehole (7) of the socket (B), whereas the teeth (2a) fit into the grooves (7a) on the top of the borehole (7) of the socket (B).  When pushing one part towards the other the two shanks (4) glide along the edge (8) of the socket (B) in the way that the plug-in element (A) does not fall out of the grip.

Title: Solvent transfer process for dinitrogen pentoxide
Inventor: SWINTON PETER FRANCIS
IPC: C25B1/00
Filed: 1994-05-17
Abstract: A process for the production of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in an organic solvent consists of dividing off a minor proportion (31) of the anolyte stream (11) of an electrolytic cell (2) which is set up to generate N2O5 and of cooling that portion and/or adding to the portion a quantity of N2O4, such that two phases are formed. The phases are separated (34) and the light (upper) N2O4 phase is then stripped of dissolved N2O5 the N2O5 being redissolved in an organic solvent.  Conveniently, the N2O4 phase is chilled (at 41) to produce crystalline N2O5 which is dissolved in an organic solvent such as dichloromethane. All effluent streams may be recycled with addition only of fresh concentrated nitric acid and fresh N2O4 to make the process capable of continuous operation.

Title: Separating pigs of a required market weight
Inventor: LEPAGE LOUIS
IPC: B07B13/04
Filed: 1995-11-23
Abstract: A system for separating pigs which achieve market weight from a group of pigs comprises a pen which is located at the regular drinking water trough for the pigs within the raising pen.  The pen is arranged so that when the animals are approaching market weight they must enter the pen for drinking and the pen includes a floor plate with a load cell for detecting the weight of the animal. The pen is dimensioned so that only a single animal at a time can enter the pen and is then weighed.  The pen includes a first gate which is normally closed and a second gate which is normally open so that the animal backs out when finished drinking.  When the animal achieves a weight greater than the required market weight, this is detected by the load cell and the gates are moved to open the first gate and close the second gate to allow the animal to pass through into a holding pen.

Title: Apparatus for combining a first liquid component and a second solid or liquid component by means of reduced pressure under sterile conditions
Inventor: PFEIFER THOMAS
IPC: A61J1/00
Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: An apparatus is proposed which serves for transferring a liquid component situated in one container (1) into another container (2) under reduced pressure which receives a solid or liquid component. Using a two-step mechanism, a reliable, ordered transfer is achieved by the closure of the container (1) containing the liquid component first being penetrated by a cannula (8) and then a cannula holder (9) holding the cannula being displaced by means of this container in the direction of the other container (2) receiving the solid or liquid component and by this means its closure being penetrated by the cannula. According to the invention, the cannula holder (9) receiving the cannula is designed as a lamellar body orientated perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the hollow body (3) receiving the two containers, which cannula holder is joined via retainer bridges (13) to the inner wall (30) of the hollow body, the retainer bridges being able to be ruptured by applying a manual force which is greater than the penetration force of the cannula on penetrating the Closure stopper of the container (1) opened first. An apparatus designed in such a manner can be handled in an uncomplicated manner with a structurally simple construction. The proposed apparatus receiving the two Containers (1) and (2) enables, by an outer packaging (14), the components to be combined and subsequently stored under sterile conditions.

Patent CA-2186375-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved blood contact surfaces using endothelium on a subendothelial extracellular matrix
Inventor: BRUCHMAN WILLIAM CARL
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1995-04-28
Abstract: This invention relates to improved blood contact devices such as vascular prostheses ren-dered antithrombotic through the use of recip-ient endothelial cells grown on an appropriate subendothelial matrix. The subendothelial ma-trix layer, which serves as the substratum for growing endothelial cells, may be obtained from either natural donor vessels or from in vitro tis-sue culture sources. This subendothelial matrix is used in situ on the donor vessel, or is grown or applied to a synthetic component, preferably porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.  Once this subendothelial matrix is prepared, recipi-ent endothelial cells are seeded onto this matrix substratum, which then serves as the immedi-ate blood contact surface. The endothelial cells may be applied as an intra-operative procedure, or grown on the subendothelial matrix substra-tum in vitro until the cells establish a confluent monolayer. A key aspect of this invention is that living, recipient endothelial cells are grown on the appropriate subendothelial matrix substra-tum, thereby providing a substantially nonthrom-botic blood contact surface. Furthermore, the likelihood of recipient immunological response is minimized. This invention results in vascular prostheses that are particularly useful for arterial bypass requiring a diameter of 6 mm or less.

Abstract: The invention pertains to methods for detecting the presence or absence of a mutation associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). The methods include providing DNA which encodes a sarcomeric thin filament protein (e.g., .alpha.tropomyosin or cardiac troponin T) and detecting the presence or absence of a mutation in the amplified product which is associated with HC. DNA encoding an actin-associated protein, a myosin-associated protein, or a sarcomeric protein other than .beta. cardiac heavy chain can also be used in the methods of the present invention. The invention further pertains to methods for diagnosing familial HC (FHC) in a subject. These methods typically include obtaining a sample of DNA which encodes a sarcomeric thin filament protein from a subject being tested for FHC and diagnosing the subject for FHC by detecting the presence or absence of a mutation in the sarcomeric thin filament protein which causes FHC as an indication of the disease. An alternative method for diagnosing HC includes obtaining a sample of at least two sarcomeric proteins from a subject being tested for HC and diagnosing the subject for HC by detecting an abnormality in the sarcomeric proteins as an indication of the disease. Other aspects of the invention include kits useful for diagnosing HC and methods for treating HC.
