Abstract: An endometrial ablation method comprising passing sufficient RF current having a frequency of from 250 kHz to about 100 MHz through substantially the entire surface of the endometrium to heat the endometrium, in a single operation, to a temperature within the range of from 45 degrees C. to 90 degrees C. and preferably not above 70 degrees C. for a time sufficient to destroy the cells of the lining while maintaining the average temperature of the myometrium at a temperature below about 42 degrees C. The apparatus comprises a electroconductive expandable member such as a balloon for extending the organ and effecting electrical contact with the endometrial lining to be destroyed. The balloon is connected to a power source adapted to provide radiofrequency electric power having the desired characteristics to selectively heat the endometrial lining to the desired temperature. The balloon can be an electroconductive elastomer such as a mixture of a polymeric elastomer and electroconductive particles. Alternatively, it can be a non-extensible bladder having a shape and size, in its fully expanded form, which will extend the organ and effecting contact with the endometrial lining to be destroyed. One surface of the non-extensible bladder can be coated with electroconductive material. The coating can be applied to the inner surface of the non-extensible bladder if the bladder wall thickness is less than about 25 mm.

Abstract: 957,574. Reels, raising and lowering. CROMPTON & KNOWLES CORPORATION. March 30, 1962 [April 25, 1961],No. 12407/62. Heading B8M. [Also in Division D1]  A reel winding apparatus includes at least one platform 172, Fig. 1, that can be displaced between an upper position (see left-hand platform) at which it supports a reel R. In alignment with bearing, B for the reel, and a lower position (see right-hand platform) at which a reel can be rolled from said platform on to the floor or vice versa, the platform having ribs 238 preventing the reel R from rolling from its desired setting on the platform 172. In the apparatus shown there are two platforms 172 enabling two reels R to be selectively moved in to and out of alignment with a winding position as defined by the bearings B to permit continuous reeling to take place. Each platform is actuated by a piston and cylinder unit 208 coupled to the platform via a chain 214 passing over sprockets 218. The chain 214 is coupled to the piston via a member 224 that can be adjusted to abut the cylinder when the piston therein has descended to a desired extent, this arrangement permitting the upper setting of the platform to be predetermined to ensure that the axis of the reel, when raised by its supporting platform, shall be in true alignment with the bearings B. Each platform 172 carries a slide 204, Figs. 1 and 3, operable by a piston and cylinder unit 250 such that, for example, when the righthand platform 172 has been raised to align the empty reel R with the bearings B, the slide 204 is displaced to the left to engage the empty reel R with the left-hand bearing B on a fixed central hanger 42. Thereafter a further piston and cylinder unit 66 slides a movable hanger 58 to the left to cause the right-hand bearing B to engage the empty reel R. The slide 204 carries a shoulder 262 to ensure that when the reel is filled and the hanger 58 is eventually moved away from the reel, the shoulder 262 will prevent the reel from following the bearing B on the hanger 58. The slide 204 carries a further shoulder 264 to ensure that when the slide 204 is eventually moved to the right the shoulder 264 will abut the now filled reel and force it to move off the bearing on the central hanger 42. The platform 172 is then lowered and the now filled reel is rolled off the platform and on to the floor via range 272 or ramp 276 Fig. 3.

Abstract: 1343851 Laminates MINNESOTA MINING & MFG CO 12 Jan 1971 [13 Jan 1970] 1526/71 Heading B5N [Also in Division C3] Solid, tack-free, linear, fusible, thermosettable polyimides of benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and a C 3-12  saturated aliphatic diamine in proportions within 2% of stoichiomotric have: (a) an inherent viscosity (0À5 wt. per cent in m-cresol at 25 C.) of 0À1 to 2À0; (b) a softening point of 150 to 300 C. by DTA in helium at 740 mm. and a temperature rise of 30 C./minute; and (c) substantially complete solubility for 10 wt. per cent polymer in 90 wt. per cent m-cresol at 25 C.; and can be rendered thermally set by heating for 10 hours at 200 C. while releasing not more than 1 wt. per cent volatiles. Such polyimides can be obtained by chemical dehydration of the linear polyamide acid. It is stated that thermal dehydration leads to simultaneous imidization and cross-linking rendering the polymer unsuitable for many applications due to excessive volatiles and/or insolubility and infusibility. The soluble polyimides may be dissolved in cresol or a mixture of at least 40 wt. per cent thereof with benzene, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene or carbon tetrachloride. Solutions, films or powders of the polyimides may be used for coating, adhesive, moulding or casting applications, e.g. as primers for polyimide films; as a coating on polyimide-insulated wire which is then wound on a core and the assembly heated to fuse the polyimide coating but not the polyimide insulation; as an adhesive interlayer for laminating polyimide and copper films; or to adhere and/or insulate metal motor core pieces. Glass cloth impregnated with the polyimide solution and dried may also be used as an adhesive layer. In examples polyamide acids from benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and hexa-, octa-, nona- or dodeca-methylene diamine, 1,3- diaminopropane or 1,4-bis-(aminomethyl)cyclohexane are cyclized with a mixture of pyridine and acetic anhydride at temperatures up to 85 C. The products as precast films or a coating on a substrate are used to adhere polyimide films to themselves or to copper.
