Title: Applicateur insere dans l'uretre servant a induire une hyperthermie de la prostate
Inventor: TURNER PAUL F
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 1991-11-04
Abstract: L'invention utilise une source d'énergie haute fréquence (12) pour fournir une énergie électromagnétique à l'applicateur (14), lequel fonctionne comme électrode. Un circuit de commande (26) contient un comparateur (42) qui est connecté à un capteur de température (20) et à un dispositif de référence de température (44), en vue de comparer le niveau de température effectif des tissus avec un niveau de température desiré, et il fournit des signaux de commande à la source d'énergie (12) pour réguler la sortie d'énergie vers l'applicateur. Une seconde électrode (96) assure un retour de courant pour le courant chauffant à partir de l'applicateur (14). Une feuille ou une gaine de matériau isolant recouvre l'applicateur (14) pour l'isoler des tissus. On peut faire varier l'épaisseur de la feuille ou de la gaine isolante pour assurer un échauffement uniforme des tissus sur toute la longueur de l'applicateur.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un appareil et à un procédé à faible consommation en énergie, qui servent à réguler les niveaux de vide dans des dispositifs de traite mécanique et dans d'autres installations de vide sujettes à des fuites d'air, et qui utilisent, combinés à une réserve de vide poussé, une extrémité à vide peu poussé (formant un conduit), un régulateur de vide double placé entre la réserve de vide poussé (20) et l'extrémité à vide peu poussé, ainsi qu'un moteur d'entraînement à vitesse variable (ASD) (26) monté sur une pompe à vide (28) de façon à régler la décharge d'air pour qu'elle corresponde à la quantité d'air utilisée dans l'extrémité à vide peu poussé. Le régulateur de vide double détecte les perturbations de vide dans l'extrémité à vide peu poussé et ajuste le débit d'air s'écoulant de l'extrémité à vide peu poussé vers la réserve de vide poussé plutôt que d'utiliser un système d'apport d'air de compensation extérieur, ce qui permet d'obtenir un vide régulé avec une variation de la pression et une entrée d'énergie minimales. Grâce à ce nouveau système, on obtient des économies d'énergie et une réduction de la demande d'environ 50 % pendant l'opération de traite mécanique.

IPC: D01G19/16
Filed: 1992-03-12
Abstract: L'unité à pince possède une plaque de pince supérieure (10) et une plaque de pince inférieure (9). La plaque de pince supérieure (10) peut être pressée avec son bord inférieur contre la face supérieure (9.2) de la plaque de pince inférieure (9), afin de serrer de la ouate à peigner qui est amenée, de manière à ce qu'une barbe de fibres dépassant de l'unité à pince puisse être enlevée par peignage par un peigne circulaire de la peigneuse. A cet effet, une saillie (16) orientée vers le bas s'étend sur le bord inférieur de la plaque de pince supérieure (10) devant le bord avant de la plaque de pince inférieure (9), afin d'orienter la barbe de fibres contre les aiguilles (18) du peigne circulaire. Cette saillie (16) consiste en un rail de plastique fixé, de façon à être interchangeable, à un corps de base (15) de la plaque de pince supérieure (10). Il existe plusieurs rails de plastique (16) de différentes hauteurs correspondant aux différentes épaisseurs de la ouate à travailler. De cette façon, une adaptation à différentes épaisseurs de ouate est possible de manière simple. Même si par erreur la hauteur du rail de plastique (16) est choisie trop grande, ce dernier ne peut pas endommager le peigne circulaire de la peigneuse, étant donné qu'il est en plastique.

Abstract: In the case of outlet boxes, especially in busbar trunking systems, no arc may be produced during separation of the contact devices. Such outlet boxes are provided with a first contact device for electrical connection of the busbars in the busbar duct, and with a second contact device which acts in such a manner that the production of the contact and the separation of the contact of the first contact device can necessarily take place only when no current is passed. The aim is furthermore to construct the attachment and locking device of the outlet box to be capable of handling as easily as possible and to be as space-saving as possible in order to utilise the installation space well. This is achieved in that the attachment and locking device consists of a shaft (13) which can rotate about the longitudinal axis of said device and has an attachment and locking element (17), which corresponds to the busbar duct, and a blocking part (20) which corresponds with the second contact device (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a system of prior art utilizing a feature of the hearing system, that is, the masking effect, a data signal is added into a digital audio signal. A transmitter transmits all information required for separating the combined signal on a separate data channel. The channel-coding causes, however, that data bits hidden in the audio signal are lost. This can be avoided in that in the transmission end the audio signal is channel-coded and immediately thereafter it is decoded and the samples thus obtained are compared with the samples obtained by delaying the audio signal by the delay of the channel coder and the coder. Only in the bit locations which remained unchanged in the encoding/decoding process, substituting data bits are placed. Information about the location of said bits is transmitted on the data channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the bioactivity of biological systems, in particular in biological waste-water (effluent) purification systems, in which oxygen is supplied to maintain the bioactivity. In order to arrange the biological waste-water purification effectively, it is known to determine the oxygen consumption rate and to control the biological processes of the waste-water purification by defined oxygen feed in dependence on this oxygen consumption rate. This is necessary and expedient, since in waste-water purification plants both daily and weekly variations occur in the biological loading of the waste-water. The object of the invention is therefore to specify an apparatus which permits reliable determination and control of the bioactivity. According to the invention this object is achieved in that the gas released in an activated sludge tank is shielded from the ambient atmosphere in one or more regions above the surface of the activated sludge tank. The concentration of the gas within the shielding is determined by a measuring probe.
