Patent EP-0576835-A3 (EP)
IPC: A61B17/064
Filed: 1993-05-27
Abstract: A two-part surgical ligation clip includes a track having two substantially symmetrical arms and a clip for slidably receiving the track. The symmetrical arms are connected together at a proximal end to form an apex and have spaced-apart tips at a distal end with first complementary surface. The track also includes a connector connected to the apex and having a second complementary surface. The clip has an extended slot for slidably engaging the track and distal end tips for receiving the connector. A distal end of the clip has a first contour surface for engaging the first complementary surface on the track and locking it in a closed position and a second contour surface for engaging the second complementary surface on the track and locking it in an open position. A two-part ligation clip applicator, which is also disclosed, comprises a handle assembly having a squeezable trigger and an elongated shaft connected at its proximal end to the handle assembly. The elongated shaft houses a sliding advancer which is actuated by squeezing the trigger to move axially in a forward direction in the shaft. In addition, a module is mountable at a distal end of the elongated shaft and supports a ligation clip. The module has a cartridge housing, latches pivotably mounted within the housing for gripping first part of the ligation clip, and a sliding pusher slidable within the housing by actuation of the advancer to engage the second part of the ligation clip and advance it relative to the first part to close the first part.
Patent EP-0600525-A3 (EP)
IPC: F27B7/16
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: The device (1) for drying and/or heating pourable material for asphalt production has a rotatable burning drum (11) which has holding structures for the material to be dried and rearranged. The burning drum (11) has, arranged coaxially with the burning drum axis (23b), a cylindrical, first pipe (25a) which surrounds the burner flame radially and axially and the inner wall of which is smooth and without internal structures in the flame region. As the casing of the inner pipe (25a) of the burning drum (11) is closed and the material is situated only on the outer casing thereof, i.e. the burner interior is separated from the material by the pipe wall, the burner interior with the burner flame is dust-free. As a result, the combustion process, which is low in harmful substances, is optimum and easy to control. By means of the smooth inner wall of the inner pipe (25a), sporadically introduced (sprayed-in) spray material from the pre-drum (9) or the transition (10) to the burning drum (11) is separated again through a coaxial slot at the pipe end. In addition, the combustion is not impaired by this small amount of spray material. <IMAGE>

Title: Disk drive system
Inventor: HATCHETT MICHAEL ROBERT
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 1993-03-02
Abstract: A multiple disk drive assembly (10) in a 5 1/4 inch disk drive form factor having two 3 1/2 inch disk drive form factor head-disk assemblies (HDA) (11, 13) internally mounted on a rigid frame (15) and accessible via a common industry-standard interface connector (55) is provided. Both the interface and power connectors (55 and 53 respectively) and the frame mounting hole patterns are industry standard to provide interchangeability with 5 1/4 inch form factor disk drives provided by manufacturers for use in computer systems. A single electronics controller board (17) is shared by both HDAs and is mounted on the bottom side of the frame below the HDAs. The controller board may implement SCSI or IPI interfaces in either differential or single-ended versions. A spring vibration damper (47) is utilized to minimize external vibration and shock effects on the HDAs and also to minimize the effects of vibration internally generated by one HDA on the adjacent HDA. The assembly is fully enclosed with metal top and bottom covers (19 and 21 respectively) to provide separate enclosures for the HDAs and the controller board cooling and to provide EMC and RFI protection. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for fitting the roll mantle of a tubular roll intended for a paper machine or equivalent with glide bearings and a tubular roll that makes use of the method.
Inventor: NISKANEN JUHANI
IPC: F16C17/00
Filed: 1995-03-08
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for fitting a tubular roll mantle of a roll intended for a paper machine or equivalent with glide bearings. In the method the roll mantle (12) is supported on a stationary roll axle (11) by means of hydraulic glide bearing elements (14, 14a, 15, 16, 16a) acting upon the rill mantle (12) or upon the rill ends (13, 13a), said bearing elements being loaded hydraulically by means of the pressure of a pressure medium. In the invention, the roll mantle (12) is supported on the roll axle (11) by means of glide bearing elements (14, 14a) acting radially in opposite directions. In the principal loading direction, the roll mantle (12) is allowed to be shifted over a certain distance, in which case, when the roll mantle (12) approaches its preset extreme position in this direction, the movement of the roll mantle (12) is braked down, and finally the movement is stopped in its extreme position by means of the glide bearing elements (14, 14a). The invention also concerns a roll that makes use of the method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A two head single photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT) nuclear camera system has two
detector heads (18a, 18b) which are movable between a
180° opposite position and an adjacent, orthogonal
position. The detector heads have slide members (42a,
42b) which are slidably received on linear radial guide
members (40a, 40b) of carriers (16a, 16b). The carriers
have followers (20a, 22a, 24a; 20b, 22b, 24b) which are
slidably received along linear guide paths (26a, 28a,
30a; 26b, 28b, 30b). Hydraulic or other extensible
cylinders (32a, 32b) selectively permit the carriers,
hence the detector heads, to slide along the guide paths
between the 180° opposite and the adjacent, orthogonal
positions. Preferably, a rotating gantry (12) is
rotated to place both detector heads above an intended
position. In this manner, the extensible cylinders
controllably lower the detector heads as they move by
gravity from the present position to the intended
position. In both the 180° opposite and the adjacent
orthogonal positions, the detector heads concurrently
rotate around an axis of rotation (14a) and move
radially in and out to minimize the distance between the
subject and the detector head.
