Abstract: A method for emptying a blood circuit of an apparatus for the extracorporeal treatment of blood after interrupting a treatment session. The apparatus has a blood treatment device with first and second compartments separated by a semi permeable membrane, an arterial pipe connected to an inlet of the first compartment, a venous pipe connected to an outlet of the first compartment and a second end, and a used liquid circuit having a drain pipe connected to an outlet of the second compartment. The method involves the closing of the blood circuit on itself. The blood circuit includes the arterial pipe, the first compartment of the blood treatment apparatus, and the venous pipe, in order to form a closed loop circuit after the arterial and venous pipes have been disconnected from the vascular system of the patient. The blood circuit contains a liquid, which is transferred from the closed loop circuit into the used liquid circuit. The liquid transferred into the used liquid circuit is then drained using the drain pipe.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging assembly for generating a substantially homogenous magnetic field within an imaging-field-zone to produce an image of a region (anatomy-of-interest (2)) in a patient (1) comprises a bore into which the region of the patient can be placed, and a plurality of coaxially arranged coils (30a, b, c, d) surrounding the bore. The coils are arranged to generate a substantially homogenous magnetic field in the imaging-field-zone in the bore. The bore has a diameter (38) substantially larger than the axial length (39) of the bore. The large bore enables any region of the patient to be imaged to be placed in the region of highest homogeneity within the imaging field zone (11) and provides for access to the region of the patient being imaged to a health-care professional (5) during the imaging process.

Abstract: The "Improved hydraulic diaphragm valve, for fluid flow regulation" which constitutes the object of this Patent, contains a semi-conical deflector (2) with an open and flat upper face (3), its perimeter being an isosceles triangle and its cross section equal to that of the valve passage, the semi-cone (2) and the triangle (3) being oriented towards the intake of the fluid. The diaphragm (4) is seated on the flat section (3) pressed by the fluid contained in the chamber formed by the cover (5) and the diaphragm (4); whilst by draining the fluid from the chamber, the intake pressure lifts the diaphragm (4) off its seating. Shutting or reducing flow is produced in the upstream direction, and opening or increasing flow, downstream. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital bus system (1; 1a) of low power consumption. The bus system (1; 1a) is adapted to establish at least one parameter (M; M1) that indicates the number of transmitter units (9.1-9.N) in the bus system (1; 1a) which need to send data on a data bus (3). A clock signal (CLK2) that indicates a rate at which data is sent is generated with regard to the established parameter (M; M1) in accordance with a predetermined pattern. In this respect, the clock signal (CLK2) is generated in a manner such that the fewer the transmitter units (9.1-9.N) needing to send data, the lower the data rate on the data bus (3). This reduces the average power consumption of the transmitter units (9.1-9.N) and receiver (15). This lower power consumption is achieved without appreciably affecting waiting times in respect of transmitter units (9.1-9.N) being allowed to send data, since the clock signal (CLK2) is generated so that the data rate will be adapted in relation to the number of transmitter units (9.1-9.N) that need to send data.

Abstract: A manifold for charging a system which when in use cycles a refrigerant between liquid and gaseous states is disclosed. The manifold includes a housing defining a flow passage extending from an inlet to an outlet. Structure is within the housing to define a capillary in parallel communication with a section of the passage. A refrigerant state control valve is connected to the housing. The valve, when in the open position, enables concurrent refrigerant flow through both the section of the passage and the capillary to charge such a system with refrigerant in a liquid state. The valve when in the closed position sufficiently blocks the section of the passage to cause all refrigerant flow to be through the capillary thereby to enable charging such a system with refrigerant in a gaseous state.
