Title: Air-Driven Vibrator
Inventor: WAKABAYASHI TOSHIAKI
IPC: A61C3/03
Filed: 1998-05-06
Granted: 2004-09-08
Abstract: The air-driven vibrator (10) includes a disc-shaped vibratory element (40) movably received in a disc-shaped working chamber (38). Upon injecting air jets into the chamber (38) through tangential injection ports (46), the element (40) is rotated and oscillated to generate vibration. The feature of the vibrator is that inwardly directed projections (66, 72) are provided on the inner end faces (34, 36) of the chamber (38) to prevent the element (40) from sticking to the end faces (34,36) when the vibrator is not in use. Due to the provision for the projections (66, 72), the edge of the element (40) need not be chamfered. This enables mass production of the elements (40) and increases the production yield of the elements (40). <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de mettre ledit procédé en oeuvre, qui servent à préparer l'extrémité (E) d'une bande de coton hydrophile (B) en vue d'un traitement ultérieur subséquent de ladite bande de coton hydrophile. Dans les procédés connus de préparation de l'extrémité d'une bobine (W) de coton hydrophile (B), la bande de coton hydrophile est maintenue de manière générale en un point ou deux de serrage et est déchirée. A cet effet, la ligne effective de déchirure n'est pas définissable de manière univoque. Afin de remédier à cette situation, il est prévu de serrer la bande de bande de coton hydrophile (B) sur toute sa largeur et de séparer l'extrémité libre (E) en saillie au-dessus du point de serrage (K) immédiatement dans le prolongement du point de serrage, au moyen d'un flux d'air comprimé produit approximativement sur toute la largeur de la bande de coton hydrophile (B). Ce flux d'air comprimé peut être produit par une buse d'air comprimé (32), dont l'ouverture de sortie (33) se trouve à côté et directement sur la face sortie du dispositif de serrage (K).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for verifying the correct delivery by delivery units in lockable storage units, each of which takes up at least one delivery unit and is are provided with an identification label that can be accessed externally. The task-related identification label applied on the delivery unit is inputted and stored in the mobile read and evaluation device. Subsequently, the mobile read and evaluation device compares the scanned combination consisting of a first identification label and the task-related identification label with the combination previously stored in the mobile read and evaluation device consisting of a first identification label and a task-related identification, whereupon said device displays a result. After setting the delivery unit and locking the locking device of the storage unit, the task-related identification label that can be accessed externally and a second machine-readable identification label which can be accessed externally after locking through a window in the storage unit are successively detected by the mobile read and evaluation device in a predetermined interval.

Abstract: Dans un réseau de communication à accès multiple, une station primaire (2) est connectée via un support de transmission à une pluralité de stations secondaires (4-18). La station primaire est conçue pour déterminer une liste de voies libres comprenant les voies qui ne sont utilisées par aucune des stations secondaires pour transmettre des informations à la station primaire. Celle-ci est conçue pour transmettre cette liste de voies libres aux stations secondaires. Ces dernières sont conçues pour essayer de réserver de façon exclusive une des voies indiquées sur la liste de voies libres. Si la tentative de réservation exclusive d'une voie aboutit, la station secondaire continue d'utiliser la voie qu'elle a réservée jusqu'à ce que toutes les informations disponibles soient transmises. Si la station secondaire cesse d'utiliser la voie, la station primaire réintègre cette voie dans la liste de voies libres.

Abstract: Ultrasonic visualisation of a subject, particularly of perfusion in the myocardium and other tissues, is performed using novel gas-containing contrast agent preparations which provide controllable and temporary growth of the gas phase in vitro following administration and can therefore act as deposited perfusion tracers. The preparations comprise an injectable aqueous gas dispersion and an administrable substance or substances capable of destabilising the dispersed gas to provide temporary growth thereof. In cardiac perfusion imaging the preparations may advantageously be coadministered with vasodilator drugs such as adenosine in order to enhance the differences between return signal intensity from normal and hypoperfused myocardial tissue respectively.
