Abstract: A permanent, biocompatible material for soft tissue augmentation. The biocompatible material comprises a matrix of smooth, round, finely divided, substantially spherical particles of a biocompatible ceramic material, close to or in contact with each other, which provide a scaffold or lattice for autogenous, three dimensional, randomly oriented, non-scar soft tissue growth at the augmentation site. The augmentation material can be homogeneously suspended in a biocompatible, resorbable lubricious gel carrier comprising a polysaccharide. This serves to improve the delivery of the augmentation material by injection to the tissue site where augmentation is desired. The augmentation material is especially suitable for urethral sphincter augmentation, for treatment of incontinence, for filling soft tissue voids, for creating soft tissue blebs, for the treatment of unilateral vocal cord paralysis, and for mammary implants. It can be injected intradermally, subcutaneously or can be implanted.

Abstract: A latch bolt with a cylindrical head and a hammer head-shaped
end for locking a cover on an electrical installation cabinet. In a
predetermined position the bolt can be freely inserted, whereby the
bolt head is sunk into a corresponding bore of the cover. A quarter
of a turn by means of a screw driver moves the bolt into the locked
position. To prevent unauthorized release, a key way is provided in
both the head and the bore wall, said key ways being located directly
opposite to one another in the locking position. A disc-shaped
sealing means is provided from which a key portion and a locking
portion extend. When applying the sealing means on top of the bolt
head the key portion enters into the combined key way space, as a
result of which the bolt is secured against unauthorized rotation.
Simultaneously the locking portion engages behind a shoulder within
the bolt head, which prevents the sealing element from being removed.
As an example the sealing means may be hingedly connected to the bolt
head in the manner of a hinged lid.

Abstract: An air conditioning system refrigerant condenser (24) has
opposed, parallel, vertical header tanks header tanks (12', 14') with a
substantially uniform internal cross sectional area. The inlet tank (12') and
return tank (14') are connected by a plurality of generally parallel flow tubes
(16'), each of which is identical in size and shape with unrestricted ends
opening into each header tank (12', 14'). The refrigerant inlet (20') into the inlet
tank (12') is located relatively high up, as is the outlet (22') on the other tank,
creating both a vapor deficit in the lower flow tubes (16') that are farthest from
the inlet (20'), as well as liquid pooling in the lower flow tubes (16') that are
below the outlet (22'). By placing a simple flow restriction (26) in the return
tank (14') that restricts the flow, through the return tank (14'), of the refrigerant
flowing from the higher, surplus flow tubes (16') and to the refrigerant outlet
(22'), a back pressure is created in the return tank (14') that indirectly shifts
fluid flow within the inlet tank (12'), away from the surplus flow tubes and
toward the deficit flow tubes. This rebalances the refrigerant flow through all
flow tubes (16') to improve overall condenser efficiency.

Abstract: The closure (1) of a closure/container combination
such as a tube container (2), has a panel (5) forming a
base on which the container can stand in an upright
condition. A face (16) of the panel extends at an angle
of between 4° and 20° to the normal to the longitudinal
axis of the tube (2) such that when the tube is standing
on a horizontal surface, the longitudinal axis is at an
angle of between 4° and 20° to the vertical. This causes
the front face (18) of the tube to be slanted slightly
backwardly, making information printed thereon more
easily discernible.

Abstract: An apparatus for, and method of, encoding information into and decoding information from, a sequence of moving images, such as video images. It is known to insert codes into images for purposes of identifying the owner of the images. However, existing schemes have suffered from the disadvantage that certain data compression techniques have removed or degraded the code so that the code cannot be later recognised. The present invention solves the problem by identifying moving and static portions of an image in an image sequence and providing two separate channels, one for the moving portion of an image and the other for a static portion of an image. One or more codes are then inserted into both moving and static image channels, so that moving image sequences including the code are, preserved even after image compression or low pass filtering.
