Title: Suction elevator
IPC: B65G67/60
Filed: 1986-06-10
Abstract: 1. Suction elevator for the transfer of bulk materials, particularly for unloading ships, with an arm (5) pivoted on a support in the vertical plane guided by means of tension (10), with a suction pipe (6) and a preferably cylindrical container (8) which can rotate around its longitudinal axis for the intermitted accommodation of the bulk material, where the container with the force application elements (4) connected to it are simultaneously the support for the arm and the counterweight for an engine house (7) situated on the far side of the container, characterised by the fact that the force application elements are collected in a single connecting element (4) including the wall of the container (8) on its entire circumference in a vertical part, where the connecting points (20, 21) for the arm (5) and the engine house (7) made as a kind of arm lie in the same horizontal plane and the means of tension (10) for the arm (5) and the means of staying (11) for the engine house (7) are taken over an extension (9) of the container (8) extending upwards.

IPC: A61L26/00
Filed: 1986-07-17
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft Mittel aus Mischungen von hoch­
molekularen Kohlenhydraten und niedermolekularen Koh­
lenhydraten in verschiedenen Verhältnissen zur Abdek­
kung von Schürf-, Brand- und sonstigen Wunden. Sie beste­
hen aus einem Puder, einem Gel und einer anschmiegsa­
men vernetzten Folie, leicht streubaren Plättchen oder ähn­
lich geformten streubaren Körpern, sowie aus einem Pfla­
ster. Diese Mittel werden in Verbindung miteinander oder 
einzeln auf Schürf-, Brand- oder sonstige Wunden aufge­
bracht und bewirken dort gleichzeitig Schutz, Reinigung 
und optimale Neubildung der verletzten Hautstellen. Ein 
grosser Vorteil liegt darin, dass die Neubildung der Gewe­
bezellen auch bei einem Verbandswechsel nicht gestört 
wird, weil die Wundabdeckung durch ihre aus der erfin­
dungsgemässen Mischung herrührenden gelbindenden Ei­
genschaften und Vernetzung ohne Abreissen des frisch ge­
bildeten Schorfes und ohne Schmerzen für den Patienten 
gewechselt werden kann, wodurch die Wunde rascher ver­
heilt als bisher üblich.

Title: Electrical contact device
IPC: H01R13/15
Filed: 1986-11-05
Abstract: An electric contact device for an electrical connection of electroconductive connectors comprises a row of interconnected contact elements which are joined together by at least one continuous band-shaped or wire-shaped spring element. Each contact element is provided with at least one opening through which the spring element extends. The opening provides for fixing of the contact element which, in an unstressed condition, extends at an angle maximum 45 DEG relative to the plane of the spring element. Under the contact pressure, the spring element is deformed and takes a wave form, thus, producing a resilient force. This permits to assemble the device with larger tolerances for spacing between the contact elements. Preferably, the edges of the contact elements have a high electric conductivity.

Abstract: An insulin activity messenger material and its precursor 
material are disclosed which have been isolated from hapatic 
plasma membrane cells that have been incubated with an 
enzyme known as a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholi­
pase C. The messenger material comprises a carbohydrate­
based compound that exhibits the ability to modulate the ac­
tivity of the insulin-sensitive enzymes pyruvate 
dehydrogenase, adenylate cyclase, acetyl CoA carboxylase, 
and low Km cAMP phosphodiesterase, and thereby ef­
fectuate the activity of insulin on the cellular level. The pre­
cursor material comprises an inositol containing glycolipid 
capable of phosphodiesteratic cleavage by a phosphati­
dylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The enzyme phosphati­
dylinositol-glycan specific phospholipase C has also been 
purified and found to participate in many of the activities 
identified with respect to the messenger and its precursor. 
Numerous diagnostic and therapeutic utilities are proposed, 
and testing procedures, materials in kit form and pharma­
ceutical compositions are likewise set forth.

Title: Compression and decompression of column-interlaced, row-interlaced graylevel digital images
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1988-03-04
Abstract: In an image in which some pixels in some rows of an image 
have values associated therewith, apparatus and method 
of processing, for subsequent entropy coding or decoding, 
graylevel data for the remaining pixels in the image. 
A compressor (300) includes a graylevel model (302) and an 
entropy encoder (304). One input of the encoder (304) 
corresponds to the quantizied value and its second input 
represents the state which points to a specific pro­
bability in a table of probabilities used to define 
decision context. The compressed data is communicated via 
a transfer element (306) to a decompressor (101) including 
an entropy decoder (312) which operates in an invers 
fashion to entropy encoder (304). A graylevel model (314) 
provides a state input to the decoder (312) pointing the 
decoder to the same probability entry in the probability 
table as is pointed too in the encoder (304) during the 
compression. From the compressed data and the state in­
put the entropy decoder (312) provides an output to the 
graylevel model element (314) which corresponds to the 
graylevel model (302) and is thereby able to generate 
an output that corresponds to the input of the com­
pressor (300).

Abstract: An angle measuring device for the measurement of angles, 
comprising two rigid rodlike elements which are intended to be pressed 
upon two objects which subtend an angle to be measured, and an angle 
transducer of elastic material between the two rodlike elements. Upon 
said angle transducer, in longitudinal direction, at least one strain 
sensor is provided, the change of resistance of which - when the angle 
transducer is bent over the angle to be measured resulting in a change 
of length of said strain sensor - is a measure for the angle subtended

to the strain sensor. The rodlike elements each have at least one 
flattened pressing side and the angle transducer comprises a flat strip

length, is constant and the direction of bending is in a plane 
perpendicular to the flattened sides of the rodlike elements. The 
strain sensor is durably fastened on at least one broad side of the 
flat strip along its whole length, which strain sensor comprises a

Title: Data storage method
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1989-01-04
Abstract: Before reading/writing a newly loaded data tape, it is known to carry out read/write tests on the tape drive concerned by using a section of the tape set aside for this purpose. This test section is generally marked off by formatting keys which must be accessed and read to identify the test section. In order to facilitate access to the test section, the disclosed data storage method locates the test section (84) in the region of tape between a beginning-of-media BOM position and a beginning-of-recording BOR position with the latter being at a known distance (L) from BOM. As a result, it is possible to rely simply on displacement measurement to access the test section (84) from BOM. As a precaution, a check can be made for possible overshoot error in the tape positioning means so as to avoid testing being carried out beyond BOR.
