Patent GB-9008153-D0 (GB)
Title: Pneumatic actuator
IPC: F15D1/02
Filed: 1990-04-10
Abstract: A pneumatic actuator comprises a cylindrical cell (1) through which a normally laminar flow of air from a source (6) passes between an inlet jet (2) and an outlet jet (3) to provide an output pressure in outlet pipe (8). The cell (1) includes a piezo-electric element (9) arranged, in response to a suitably modulated oscillating electrical signal, to produce an acoustic signal that disturbs the laminar flow whereby air exhausts through exhaust ports (4) and the output pressure in the pipe (8) falls. The differing pressure outputs in the pipe (8) may be used to control the state of a pneumatic device such as a valve. The electrical signal is produced by a photo-diode (10), via a matching circuit (11), in response to a suitably modulated optical control signal generated by a laser source (12) and transmitted to the photo-diode (10) along a fibre optic cable (13). An actuator of the invention has extremely fast response times compared to prior pneumatic actuators, typically of the order of 5 milliseconds. <IMAGE>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP95/02541 Sec. 371 Date May 30, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 30, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 5, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/01658 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 25, 1996Alginate fabrics have, in conjuction with charcoal cloth, been used in wound dressings for malodorous wounds and there are commercial examples of such wound dressings. A problem associated with known alginate wound dressings which employ charcoal cloth is that the dressing is a relatively rigid structure. Furthermore, the known dressings have been constrained to the use of charcoal cloth which limits the absorptive properties thereof for wound odorants due to the fixed surface area of the cloth. We have now developed an alginate fabric which alleviates the above problems, and there is provided by the present invention an alginate fabric having particulate charcoal dispersed therein.
