Inventor: IBANEZ SAPINA MIGUEL
IPC: A61H33/02
Filed: 1993-02-17
Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a nozzle which drains completely when the bathtub is emptied while at the same time the nozzle is simplified. To this end, there is installed beside the pressurized water pipe (4) a valve device (7) communicating laterally with said pipe (4) and at the top thereof with the nozzle mouth (2), so that the valve (7) is closed with the water pressure and when the pressure is removed, the valve (7) opens by gravity. A further feature is that the spring (22) which bears against the articulated bushing (13), through which the water-air mixture is discharged, and which is mounted in the interior of the sleeve (15') attached to the nozzle body member mouth (2), bears, at the opposite end, against internal projections (23) on the inner periphery of the rear open end of the sleeve (15'), between which draining towards the valve device (7) is facilitated.

Title: Moulded bodies, in particular pellets, containing one or more plant extracts, and the pharmaceutical or cosmetic use of such pellets.
Inventor: WUNDERLICH JENS-CHRISTIAN
IPC: A61K9/16
Filed: 1993-01-18
Abstract: Described are moulded bodies, in particular pellets, containing one or more plant extracts and made from a dispersion of one or more plant extracts in a matrix consisting mainly of a structure-forming agent, i.e. collagen, gelatin, fractionated gelatin, a collagen hydrolysate, a gelatin derivative, a plant protein or a plant-protein hydrolysate. Such pellets have a long storage life and their pharmacological and cosmetic properties are essentially the same as those of the natural extract. They are prepared by a simple method in which one or more liquid plant extracts are mixed or emulsified, or solid extracts dissolved or suspended, in a solution of the structure-forming agent, the dispersion of structure-forming agent and plant extract(s) is added dropwise to an inert low-temperature liquified gas, preferably liquid nitrogen, thus forming the pellets, and the pellets thus formed are dried. The preferred plant extract is Aloe vera juice.

Title: Adjustable wire cutting and stripping apparatus.
Inventor: WOLLERMANN KENNETH A
IPC: H02G1/12
Filed: 1993-06-09
Abstract: An improved apparatus for cutting and stripping insulated wire. The apparatus includes a pair of cutting and stripping units which are mounted on a supporting structure in opposed relation and each cutting and stripping unit includes a central cutting knife and a pair of stripping knives, spaced laterally on opposite sides of the cutting knife. The insulated wire is fed between the cutting and stripping units and when a predetermined length of wire has been fed, the cutting units are moved toward each other in a first stroke of movement to cause the cutting knives to cut a length of wire. The wire and the cut length are then moved axially away from each other by gripping units in a first stroke of movement to position the cut end of the wire at the end of the cut length between the cutting knives and the respective stripping knives. The cutting and stripping units are then moved toward each other in a second stroke of movement to cut the insulation, and the gripping units are subsequently moved in a direction away from each other in a second stroke of movement to strip the insulation from the cut end of the wire and from the cut length. A mechanism is provided for adjusting the first stroke of movement of the gripping units to adjust the strip length and a second adjusting mechanism is included to adjust the stripping stroke of the cutting and stripping units to accomodate different gauges of wire.

IPC: B01D57/02

Abstract: A method for performing capillary electrophoresis with improved regularity of migration time of the analytes is disclosed. A capillary electrophoresis system includes a fused silica capillary (12), a high voltage power supply (20), electrolyte reservoirs (23,33) at both ends of the capillary, means for injecting a sample, and a detector (40). After separation, analytes within the sample are identified by comparing their migration time with the migration time of internal or external standards. Since migration times are dependent on the concentration of the injected sample, identification of unknown analytes can often be difficult or subject to error without the use of such standards. These problems associated with concentration dependent migration time are substantially eliminated by using a combination of high voltage power supply running modes (i.e. constant current, constant voltage or constant power) during the course of the analysis. (As an example, differences in migration time, ΔMT for chloride & sulfate anions at high & low concns. of fluoride are platted in the diagram as a function of the duration of the constant current mode. For durations of ∼ 70S the difference in migration times are roughly zero for both anions) The control (30) of the high voltage power supply can either be set before a run begins, or controlled directly using feedback from the separation in real time.

IPC: C23C14/34

Abstract: In a plasma vapor deposition reactor for depositing an electrically insulating material using a DC sputtering process the plasma is stabilized, maintaining its sputtering efficiency, by provision of a secondary anode (22), preferably held at a positive bias with respect to the primary anode (15). The secondary anode (22) is shielded from exposure to the stream of sputtered material, yet situated close enough to the plasma discharge to attract electrons from the plasma to maintain its charge balance. In reactive sputtering, the sputtering chamber (10) contains both a sputtering gas, for example argon, and a reactive gas, for example oxygen. Positive ions of the sputtering gas bombard a target (17) of the material to be sputtered. Atoms of the target material, the sputtered atoms, are emitted from the target (17) in all directions into the chamber (10), some of them falling on the substrate surface to be sputter coated. At the surface or in the chamber (10) they chemically combine with the reactive gas. In the instance to which this invention applies, the chemical combination forms an electrically insulating coating on the substrate (19). The same electrically insulating material coats all other surfaces exposed to the flux of sputtered atoms. In an embodiment of the invention the positively biased secondary anode, being shielded from the sputtered atoms is not coated by the electrically insulating material, thus maintaining its ability to draw electrons from the plasma.

The settlement occurs at different paying offices, designed for or without check of the identity of the owner of the payment means and/or the authenticity of the payment means (1). Part-amounts are taken from an amount of money stored in a first memory element (11a) of the payment means (1) for the settlement, a further memory element (7a) of the payment means (1), which stores the number of uses of paying offices, being changed to a new reference number by a value and a safety amount stored in a third memory element (9a) of the payment means (1) being changed by the value of the part-amount to a new safety amount. A check is then made whether a second or third final value (7c, 9c) stored in the second or respectively third memory element would be exceeded by the new reference number or the new safety amount, the settlement not being carried out in the case of a transgression and being carried out in the case of a non-transgression by storing the new reference number and the new safety amount in the second and respectively third memory element (7c, 9c) and changing the amount of money by the value of the part-amount in the first memory element (11a). In the payment means (1), information can also be stored by means of which the owner of the payment means is reminded of payments to be carried out. When the relevant payment is transferred at one of the paying offices, the respective information is deleted. <IMAGE>
