Patent EP-0864399-B1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIUE REN-KAE
IPC: B24D3/00

Abstract: An abrasive grit for a metal bonded Single Layer abrasive tool includes abrasive grains coated with a first active component. The active component is mechanically-bound to the surface of the superabrasive grains. Preferably the abrasive is a superabrasive, especially diamond, and the first active component is titanium, either in the form of elemental Ti or TiH2. The novel grit is made by mixing the first active powder component in a liquid binder to form an adhesive paste; mixing the paste with the abrasive grains to wet the grains, and drying the mixture to adhere active component to the grains. The coated abrasive can be brazed onto a core to form a Single Layer tool, especially with a brazing composition that includes a bronze alloy and small concentrations of a second active component. During brazing the novel abrasive grains provide excellent surface contact with the brazing composition and the braze strongly bind the grains to the tool core. The brazed composition is easy to chemically or electrochemically strip from the cores of worn abrasive tools to permit reconstruction of the tools.

Abstract: Abnormal reactions in a red blood cell classification by agglutination, are checked following centrifugation of a sample in a column of a cassette, the column containing microparticles. This is done by imaging the column on a detector array that is used to correlate the images with predefined red cell classes based upon the distribution of the images across the column. However, prior to the correlation step, abnormal reactions are checked for by detecting whether any of the following is present:   i) errors that cause imaged features of the column or any pellet produced therein to be out of range;   ii) hemolysis of the sample;   iii) insufficient or too many blood cells present;   iv) mixed field agglutination; and v) presence of fibrin at the top of the microparticles.

Title: Appareil pour le traitement des stenoses urinaires et autres stenoses corporelles

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un système permettant de traiter des sténoses corporelles de façon à ramener le diamètre luminal à l'intérieur d'une plage de diamètres normaux. Selon la méthode, on dilate la sténose de façon à étirer sa lumière jusqu'à un diamètre désiré; on extrude du collagène près du tissu existant de ladite sténose, afin qu'il soit absorbé par ledit tissu ou colle sur celui-ci, de façon à constituer une structure tissulaire améliorée par le collagène; et on fournit de l'énergie de façon à affecter ledit tissu amélioré par le collagène, notamment par ablation ou durcissement. On peut répéter l'ablation et le durcissement afin de créer une série de couches de collagène durci constituant un cadre support, de préférence en forme de cylindre creux. On termine la dilatation de la sténose en gonflant un ou plusieurs ballonnets, ou en comprimant le collagène extrudé, jusqu'à ce que le diamètre de la sténose soit supérieur à une plage de diamètre normaux. Quand l'énergie est émise dans le collagène, la sténose se rétracte et reprend son diamètre normal, par ablation du tissu excédentaire ou par aplatissement de sa paroi. On isole également le tissu de la sténose au moyen d'une série de ballonnets, à une extrémité de la sténose ou aux deux, de façon à l'isoler et à limiter le collagène à ce niveau. Une endoprothèse, fixée de préférence par le collagène sur le tissu, supporte également celui-ci. Le collagène adhère sur l'endoprothèse, qui supporte le tissu jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit absorbée par lui.

Abstract: A process for drying or curing green wood including the heating of green wood in a heating enclosure to a predetermined temperature over about 120 F while maintaining the moisture content of the wood close to the original moisture content of the felled wood, and then immediately cooling the heated wood with a cooling fluid at a temperature and humidity substantially less than the temperature and relative humidity of the heating enclosure for a time period sufficient for the wood to reach substantially the reduced temperature of the cooling fluid for normally removing at least about 5% of moisture from the green wood. The green wood is conditioned by the cooling step for subsequent drying steps in which moisture removal rates are substantially higher than moisture removal rates under prior conventional drying steps. The green wood process as set forth is effective to minimize staining of the wood.

Abstract: A frame relay network has a network management system in combination with frame relay nodes. The network management system provides frame relay oversubscription trunk and connection parameter signals to the frame relay nodes. The network management system uses a graphical user software interface program for receiving frame relay oversubscription trunk and connection parameters from a network supervisor that are formatted into the frame relay oversubscription trunk and connection parameter signals. The frame relay nodes respond to the frame relay oversubscription trunk and connection parameter signals, for providing an frame relay oversubscription connection control signal from one frame relay node to another frame relay node depending on the frame relay oversubscription trunk and connection parameter signals. In operation, the trunk line has multiple virtual connections communicating the frame relay oversubscribed data between the frame relay nodes. Each frame relay node includes a node control board, one or more frame relay line interface boards, and a control bus for connecting the node control board to the one or more frame relay line interface boards. The one or more frame relay line interface boards may include either a frame relay low speed line interface board, a frame relay medium speed line interface board, a frame relay high speed line interface board, or a combination thereof. <IMAGE>
