Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous treatment of sheet-like, especially textile structures (10) resting on a supporting band (8), with at least one liquid containing at least one active substance, has at least one liquid compartment (2) and means which bring about a relative movement of the liquid and sheet-like structure. As seen in the treatment direction (6), means for feeding (16) a covering band (11) coming to rest over the sheet-like structure (10) are provided upstream of the liquid compartment (2) and means for lifting off (17) the covering band (11) from the sheet-like structure (10) are provided downstream of the liquid compartment (2). The supporting band (8) and the covering band (11) are of differing quality, and in particular the supporting band (8) consists of a stiffer material than the covering band (11). At least one liquid compartment has an inflow (3) and a flow-off (4), if appropriate in the form of an overflow, especially into the adjacent liquid compartment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A liquid applicator (10) is provided which is particularly useful in applying preoperative surgical scrubs or paints to skin. The liquid is contained in a frangible ampoule inside the body of the applicator. This ampoule is supported and protected by a deformable element (12) that prevents unintentional breakage of the ampoule from impacts during storage and handling before use. The applicator is actuated by pushing at least a portion of the frangible ampoule through an aperture in the deformable element and into contact with a means for breaking the ampoule.

Abstract: A shim attaching/detaching tool for a tappet of an internal combustion engine includes as essential components an air supplying tube, an air blowing tube and a nozzle formed at an opening portion of the air blowing tube at the foremost end of the same. When compressed air is blown from the nozzle toward the shim while the air supplying tube is inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees and the nozzle is oriented toward the fitting portion of the shim fitted into a circular cavity, the shim is thrusted against the opposite side of the cavity and the compressed air is then introduced into the space below the shim through the gap appearing around the fitting portion of the shim, whereby the shim is floated up away from the cavity so as to enable it to be easily exchanged with another shim having a different thickness.

Abstract: Rotor (10) de centrifugeuse est caractérisé en ce qu'une partie de sa surface inférieure (22B) a été supprimée pour définir un nombre prédéterminé de parties renflées (26), chacune comportant une cavité (30) recevant un échantillon. Une jupe (38) relativement mince s'étend entre au moins une paire de parties renflées (26) adjacentes. Sur la jupe (38) est définie une zone localisée (12) présentant une contrainte supérieure à la contrainte présente dans n'importe quelle autre partie du rotor lorsque celui-ci fonctionne à la vitesse de fonctionnement prédéterminée. La jupe (38) peut porter un poids (42). Le poids (42) peut être soit séparé soit solidaire de la jupe (38). En outre ou bien selon une variante, un dispositif (46) d'augmentation de contrainte se présentant sous la forme d'un ou d'une paire d'orifice(s), d'encoche(s) ou de rainure(s) peut être formé sur la jupe. Lors de l'exploitation, la probabilité qu'une défaillance du rotor se produise uniquement dans la zone localisée (12) de la jupe (38) est accrue.

IPC: H01M6/50
Filed: 1993-04-07
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un défibrillateur implantable (ICD) à décharge à condensateur, qui possède un volume de déplacement relativement réduit, inférieur à environ 90 cm3. On obtient un ICD avec un tel volume réduit en sélectionnant et en agençant les composants internes de l'ICD de façon à produire un contrechoc de défibrillation maximum, qui est optimisé en ce qui concerne un courant physiologiquement effectif (I¿pe?) minimum, plutôt qu'une énergie seuil de défibrillation (DFT) minimum. Il résulte de cette optimisation en ce qui concerne un courant effectif (Ipe) minimum une baisse notable de l'énergie de charge électrique (Ec) maximum qui doit être stockée par le condensateur de l'ICD, jusqu'à un niveau inférieur à 30 joules environ, bien qu'une marge de sécurité supérieure soit assurée par ce dispositif. En raison de cette baisse de l'énergie de charge (Ec) maximum, ainsi que des baisses corollaires de la valeur de capacitance effective requise pour le condensateur et de l'accumulation d'énergie nette requise par la batterie, le volume de déplacement global de l'ICD est réduit à un point où l'implantation sous-cutanée du dispositif dans la région pectorale du sujet devient pratique. La grandeur du condensateur est réduite dès lors que la capacitance effective requise peut être inférieure à environ 125 νF. En optimisant à la fois le temps de charge et la durée du contrechoc pour une énergie de charge (Ec) maximum réduite, la taille de la batterie est réduite dès lors que la capacité d'accumulation d'énergie totale peut être inférieure à environ 1,0 ampèreheure. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, le temps de charge pour chaque contrechoc de défibrillation est réduit à moins de 10 secondes environ et la durée d'impulsion du contrechoc est réduite à moins de 6 millisecondes environ.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'analyse par résonance magnétique nucléaire, où un objet à représenter est soumis à un champ magnétique possédant une composante de gradient servant à coder l'information spatiale concernant l'objet; on applique des impulsions d'excitation à des intervalles sélectionnés, afin d'exciter la résonance magnétique nucléaire (au moins deux des intervalles et la composante de gradient de codage pendant ces intervalles étant sélectionnés de manière que, pour lesdits intervalles, les valeurs de l'intégrale de la composante de gradient par rapport à la durée de l'intervalle sont proportionnées en fonction des puissances consécutives d'un entier, I, supérieur à deux); puis on détecte les signaux de réponse de résonance. L'invention, dans un mode de réalisation, apporte une solution aux inconvénients de l'état actuel de la technique, étant donné qu'aucun équipement spécial n'est nécessaire pour commuter les gradients de champ à oscillation rapide.

Abstract: A workpiece (44) is heated by first forming an ionized gas plasma (38) around the workpiece (44). A positive potential is applied to the workpiece (44) to accelerate electrons (50) from the plasma (38) into the workpiece (44). The workpiece (44) is uniformly surface heated by the energy directed into the workpiece (44) by the electrons (50). The workpiece (44) is cooled by providing a flow of a pressurized liquid material such as carbon dioxide having a triple point. The liquid material is expanded through a nozzle to form solid particles that contact the surface of the workpiece (44) and remove heat from it by sublimation.

Abstract: In modern washing machines, the washing and rinsing cycles are monitored with the aid of an electronic control unit and optimised with respect to power and water consumption. So-called turbidity sensors (nephelometers) which usually consist of a light-emitting diode and a photosensitive element are used as measured-value generators. The subject matter of the invention is an optical sensor which allows unambiguous establishment of whether a measuring tube contains air or water or turbid soapy water. According to the invention, the measuring tube (3) of the optical sensor has a slightly spherical inward curve respectively in the region of the entering and emerging beam pencil (4, 4'). When filled with water, the measuring tube (3) then acts as a weak diverging lens which broadens the beam pencil (4') in the region of the phototransistor (2). Almost no lens action is developed by the measuring tube (3) when it is filled with air. It allows the radiation (4) to reach the phototransistor (2) undeviated, and the latter measures a correspondingly higher intensity in this case. The turbidity sensor can be used for washing and rinsing machines, sewage monitoring systems and medical devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To optimise the extinguishing time and the consumption of the extinguishing water for a complete extinguishing of any fire, the extinguishing parameters for an extinguishing apparatus and the extinguishing method are determined using the methods of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Firstly, the development of the burning gas stream and the behaviour of water droplets emerging from a nozzle into this gas stream are determined. By means of the knowledge of the relationships between water droplet velocity, size and evaporation, the properties of the water droplets which are necessary for extinguishing can be calculated. The installation parameters of pressure, water throughput and pipework dimensions are then adapted in such a way that the desired water droplets are produced. <IMAGE>
