Granted: 1987-05-14
Abstract: Blood is passed from inlet 22 to outlet 34 axially along a shear gap between a stationary outer wall 24 and a cylindrical membrane 62 carried by a rotating spinner 50 and plasma is filtered off through the membrane and withdrawn through axial passge 76. The width of the gap and the rate of rotation of the spinner (greater than 1000 r.p.m.) are chosen such as to establish shear of from 1000 to 15,000 sec<-><1> across the gap and centrifugal force at the membrane of 50 gravity. The spinner 50 is driven by magnetic coupling 68, 74 from outside the housing 40, 12, 44 which thus forms a disposable unit. 
<??>In a construction for separation of anti-freeze solution with white cells from frozen concentrated red cells, saline solution is introduced through a porous outer wall 12 and passes radially through the mixture to carry the anti-freeze and white cells through the membrane.

Title: Endotracheal catheter and manifold assembly with valve
Inventor: CRUMP CHET M
IPC: A61M16/04
Filed: 2000-12-04
Granted: 2004-10-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved flap valve or other internal component for use with respiratory suction catheter and manifold assemblies. This flap valve or other internal component provides the assembly with an improved mechanism for cleaning the tip of the catheter without drawing an excessive amount of air from the respiration circuit to which the endotracheal catheter is attached. More specifically, the present invention relates principally to a closed suction endotracheal catheter system which provides improved cleaning of the catheter while minimizing air drawn from the patient's ventilation circuit by providing at least one protrusion on at least one surface of the flap valve or other internal component. By using a flap valve or other internal component with at least one protrusion, the flap valve or other internal component is strengthened and designed to prevent the flap from scraping mucus or other secretions from the catheter onto the distal surface of the flap during retraction.

Inventor: ERPENBACH HEINZ DR
IPC: C07C51/12
Filed: 1989-07-12
Granted: 1991-12-05
Abstract: For the preparation of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, methanol and methyl acetate are reacted under anhydrous conditions with carbon monoxide in the presence of a carbonyl complex of group VIII noble metals, methyl iodide, and catalyst systems containing alkali metal or quaternary organophosphonium or organoammonium acetate or iodide. The hot carbonylation mixture is depressurised, the evaporated components are added to a first distillation zone, and the remaining catalyst solution is fed back to the reaction zone. In the first distillation zone, the volatile carbonylation products are fractionally distilled; the low-boiling components methyl iodide and methyl acetate pass back into the reaction zone, and a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride is obtained as a bottom product which is separated into the pure components in a second and third distillation zone.

Inventor: ZENOFF ANDREW R
IPC: A47D13/08
Filed: 1995-10-31
Granted: 1998-07-02
Abstract: According to the invention, a support pillow has a shape and construction that makes the support pillow particularly useful in situations in which it is necessary or desirable to have a support surface near the body of a user. The support pillow can be securely attached to the body to, for example, aid in supporting a baby during feeding, provide support of the elbows, forearms and wrists while reading or using a keyboard, or provide support for the forearms or external objects while engaging in an activity such as watching television or eating. The support pillow cushions and supports the back, and helps to hold the back in an orthopedically correct position. The support pillow also relieves muscle stress associated with holding a baby or other object by enabling the baby or object to be supported by the pillow. The support pillow is shaped to conform to the user's body and can be adjusted to have a fit of desired tightness so that the pillow remains stably and securely in place on the user (even when the user is standing or moving around), the back support of the pillow is enhanced and the pillow fits comfortably on the wearer.

Title: Adjusting mechanism, particularly for tiltable and vertically adjustable chairs
Inventor: LOCHER HERMAN
IPC: A47C1/032
Filed: 1985-10-24
Granted: 1989-02-02
Abstract: The adjusting mechanism is used for exerting a force on two components moveable relative to one another and comprises a cylinder, a piston and a piston rod. A guide rod is also provided on the piston and is guided in a guide connection of a bottom cylinder casting. A control piston is displaceably guided in a longitudinal bore of the piston and in a further longitudinal bore of the guide rod. The piston contains transfer ducts, which are either obturated by the control piston or are freed or exposed by a smaller diameter portion of the control piston. An inner cylinder chamber is completely filled with a flowable or fluid grease. As a result, the piston rod can be locked in position by the control piston closing the transfer ducts and, on releasing or opening the latter, the piston rod can be moved. The locking of the adjusting mechanism in a specific position, as is particularly required in the case of tiltable chairs, is consequently facilitated in comparison to known adjusting mechanisms. In addition, by using flowable grease, the sealing of the adjusting mechanism is made simpler.
