Abstract: An auxiliary device for safely and surely performing off-pump coronary artery anastomosis and low-invasive coronary artery bypass. This device consists of a means for elevating the heart to enable an operator to see the anastomosed part directly in the face and, at the same time, achieving the static state of the anastomosed part; a means for perfusing the blood in the peripheral side of the coronary artery during the anastomosis of a blood vessel for bypass; and a means for fastening the coronary artery in the central side and in the peripheral side of the anastomosed part of the coronary artery to thereby block the blood flow, thus maintaining the anastomosed part in a blood-free state. <IMAGE>

Abstract: So-called navigation links or navigation references are required in the area of optical three dimensional coordinate measuring techniques in order to be able to compile measured data of expanded objects from individual partial measurements in a mosaic-like manner. Conventional navigation links employ adhesive marks which require investment of time to fixing them onto and then remove them from the object to be measured, or employ structures which are difficult to transport. These disadvantages should be minimized. This is achieved by using a device as a navigation link essentially comprised of a grid-like component on which a plurality of measuring marks and a plurality of connecting elements each having a fastening device are attached.

Abstract: The existence and rate of corrosion in a section of a well tubing or well casing string is determined and monitored continuously or intermittently by installing at predetermined locations as the string is placed in the well bore, sections of pipe that have been fitted with an array of piezoelectric transducers positioned around the circumference of the pipe and a microprocessor that controls signals going to and from each array of transducers and signals going to and received from controls and instrumentation apparatus located at the earth's surface. The apparatus can also include a reference block isolated from corrosion sources that is fitted with transducers associated with the microprocessor for the adjacent array of transducers. The microprocessors at varying locations along the string are electrically connected to the surface control and instrumentation apparatus by conductor cables and/or by wireless means using the pipe string as the conductive path for electrical signals.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create techniques for the encoding, production and viewing of stereograms, supplemented by methods for selecting certain optical filters needed in these novel techniques, thus providing a human observer with stereograms each of which consist of a single image for viewing through special filter pairs, the stereogram encoding essentially the full color information of the original stereogram or of the original scene, while at the same time encoding the full parallactic depth of the original stereogram or the parallactic depth that would normally be found in a conventional stereogram recorded of the scene. The invention makes use of a color-based encoding technique and viewing filters selected so that the human observer receives, in one eye, an image of nearly full color information, in the other eye, an essentially monochrome image supplying the parallactic differences prescribed by the stereoscopic principle and supplementing the color perception. For selecting the filters, the invention suggests an auxiliary test. For encoding the stereograms, the invention suggests a special process of channel separation and replacement. For color correction in the resulting image, the invention suggests a multistage process. Generally speaking, the best results are obtained when all of these are used together.

Abstract: The present invention relates to leaf-free solder in which oxidation of the powder surface with time is prevented and to a process for preparing the same. If electronic equipment using tin-lead-based solder is disposed as general industrial waste and left to stand in the environment, the lead component in solder dissolves, which gives rise to a problem to the human body. Hence, lead-free solder of tin-zinc-based solder containing no lead is developed intensively. However, tin-zinc-based solder is very susceptible to oxidation so that it tends to exhibit extremely deteriorated wetting or to develop many voids. The present invention is characterized in that lead-free solder powder having tin-zinc or tin-zinc-bismuth as a major composition and forming an organometallic compound of malonic acid and a metal of the solder alloy powder on the surface of solder alloy powder containing no lead, and a process for preparing the same.

Patent DE-36405-T1 (DE)
IPC: E03C1/08
Filed: 1981-02-16
Abstract: This disclosure relates to a flow control device in which the discharge from the nozzle is kept at essentially the same volume rate of flow in spite of fluctuations in the hydraulic pressure upstream from the device by providing a spray body that has a group of radially disposed channels which are perpendicular to the general direction of flow. A flexible spray control washer spaced upstream from these channels responds to hydraulic pressure by pressing into the channels and restricting the flow area of each of these channels in proportion to the applied hydraulic pressure. In this way, the flow area within the chamber is inversely related to the hydraulic pressure in order to maintain a continuous volume rate of flow through the device.

Abstract: Knockout of the  mltA  gene gives bacteria that spontaneously release vesicles that are rich in immunogenic outer membrane proteins and that can elicit cross-protective antibody responses with higher bactericidal titres than OMVs prepared by normal production processes. Thus the invention provides a bacterium, such as an  E.coli,  having a knockout mutation of its  mltA  gene. The invention also provides a  Escherichia  bacterium, wherein the bacterium: (i) has a cell wall that includes peptidoglycan; and (ii) does not express a protein having the lytic transglycosylase activity of MItA protein. Tol-Pal knockouts of pathogenic  E.coli  are also disclosed. The invention also provides compositions comprising vesicles that, during culture of bacteria of the invention, are released into the culture medium.
