Patent AU-3306689-A (AU)
Title: Drill string element
Inventor: LARSSON KENNETH LARS
IPC: E21B17/00
Filed: 1989-04-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a drill string element adapted to be coupled to other similar drill string elements by thread connections (19) thus forming a drill string for top hammer drilling. Each drill string element includes at least one rod (15;15 min ;15 sec ) for transferring impact energy to a drill bit (11) provided at the lower end of the drill string (10) and a tube assembly (21;21 min ;21 sec ) for transferring rotation to the drill bit (11), said tube assembly surrounding the rod. When handling drill string elements of the above-mentioned type it is extremely important that this handling can take place in a safe way without any risk for accidents during operation working site. Previously known drill string elements of the type in question have the disadvantage that the rod can fall out of the tube assembly in one direction. Also the accessibility to the interior of the drill string element in connection with repairs/service must be considered and the drill string elements must stay intact during operation, especially when they are unscrewed from each other. The invention is characterized by that the tube assembly (21;21 min ;21 sec ) in the area of the two ends of the rod (15;15 min ;15 sec ) is provided with an internal diameter reducing (27;27 min ,27 sec ;27'''), and that the rod (15;15 min ;15 sec ) is provided with cooperating radial projections (28;28 min ) or shoulder means (28 sec ). Also the tube assembly (21;21 min ;21 sec ) includes at least two tubular members (18;18 min ;18 sec ) that are coupled to each other by a thread connection that is harder to unscrew than the thread connection (19) for coupling together the drill string elements.

Title: A crease-lined packaging laminate, a method of providing a packaging laminate with crease lines, and packaging containers produced from the laminate
Inventor: LASSON ROLF
IPC: B65D5/42
Filed: 1997-06-19
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a crease-lined packaging laminate (20) which makes for more distinct and well-formed fold edges and thereby packaging containers with an attractive appearance and good configurational stability and handling stability, as well as a simple method of providing a packaging laminate with crease lines, which makes for more rational, and more economical changing of crease line patterns without the employment of expensive creasing tools. A packaging laminate (20) comprising at least two layers (11, 12) which both contribute to the total rigidity of the packaging laminate is provided with fold indications in that the adhesion between the two layers is reduced or eliminated along the linear regions along which the packaging laminate is to be folded. Since both of the layers can be deformed more independently of one another along the linear adhesion reduced fold regions (14), the total flexural resistance of the packaging laminate is less in these regions than in the rest of the packaging laminate. The adhesive bonding strength between the two layers (11, 12) may, for example, be reduced by applying an adhesion-counteracting agent on one or both of the layers within the linear crease line regions, or by applying an adhesion-promoting agent in the regions outside these crease line regions. In particular, the adhesion may be reduced by bringing the two layers to surface fusion with one another by the supply of heat to regions outside the crease lines. For example, the surfaces in the regions outside the crease lines may be darkened or blackened in order to absorb more heat than the relatively lighter crease line regions.

Title: Automatic lead switching for ECG monitor
Inventor: DONEHOO ROBERT E
IPC: A61B5/276
Filed: 1997-10-06
Abstract: A multi-lead ECG monitor (10) determines whether the reference electrode (LA) has been disconnected and, if so, switches to another reference electrode, which is selected in accordance with a predetermined priority scheme, to continue ECG monitoring. Disconnection of the reference electrode can be determined by observing that no ECG signal is being received from any of the electrodes. After a stabilization period, the system then determines if any electrodes are still connected. If not, then, as before, it is determined that the new reference electrode is not connected and that a new reference electrode needs to be selected. The switching of the reference electrode continues in this manner until it is determined that electrodes are connected. If sufficient electrodes (LA,RA,LL,RL,CA,CB) including the new reference electrode are still connected to the patient to permit ECG monitoring, then ECG monitoring continues and a status message is presented to the operator identifying which electrodes are disconnected. Once complete electrode connection is regained, the ECG monitor automatically switches back to the preferred settings with the desired reference electrode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, mevastatin, atorvastatin, and derivatives and analogs thereof are known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and are used as and antihypercholesterolemic agents. The majority of them are produced by fermentation using microorganisms of different species identified as species belonging to Aspergilus, Monascus, Nocardia, Amycolatopsis, Mucor or Penicilium genus, some are obtained by treating the fermentation products using the method of chemical synthesis or they are the products of total chemical synthesis. The purity of the active ingredient is an important factor for manufacturing the safe and effective pharmaceutical, especially if the pharmaceutical product must be taken on a longer term basis in the treatment or prevention of high plasma cholesterol. The accumulation of the impurities from the pharmaceuticals of lower purity may cause many side effects during the medical treatment. The present invention relates to a new industrial process for the isolation of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors using so-called displacement chromatography. Use of the invention enables to obtain HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors of high purity, with high yields, lower production costs and suitable ecological balance.
