Abstract: There is provided a switchable liquid-filled vibration isolating mount that damps each of shaking vibration and idling vibration by opening and closing an orifice, and that maintain a stable and reliable operation for a long period. First (101) and second (102) fixtures are joined together by a vibration isolating base body (103) to form an inner space defined thereby. This inner space is partitioned by a partitioner (104) and first (105) and second (106) diaphragms to form main (107) and sub- liquid (108) chambers that are communicating with each other via inner (114) and outer (113) orifices. A space between the first and second diaphragms is an equilibrium chamber (109). A space between the second diaphragm and second fixture is a switching chamber (110) into which either of an atmospheric pressure and a reduced pressure is selectively introduced. The inner orifice is an opening of the partitinoner. The first diaphragm has in its central portion a valve body that has a projection always inserted in the inner orifice all the time the orifice is opened or occluded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data processor for fluorescent x-ray spectroscopy calculates theoretical x-ray intensity which is theoretically expected to be obtained by a fluorescent x-ray spectroscopy measurement of a standard sample with known composition by taking into account the effects of x-ray attenuation by the possible presence of an environmental gas along the optical path of the x-rays between the x-ray tube and the sample and between the sample and the detector. The element sensitivity for each of elements in the standard sample is obtained from this calculated x-ray intensity and the intensity actually measured and is stored in a memory. When a fluorescent x-ray spectroscopy measurement is carried out on an unknown sample, the sample is quantitatively analyzed, a theoretically calculated x-ray intensity obtained also by taking into account the effects of x-ray attenuation by an environmental gas is used together with the actually measured x-ray intensity and the element sensitivities stored in the memory. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The assembly to shape and stamp out containers, from a thermoplastic film, has a combined mold/stamp with two mold sections. The molding station has two tables, and a common motor drive gives the stamping movement and sets the gap between the two tables.  The drive (32) for the stamping movement, and to set the gap between the two tables (10,12), engages the table (10) which is not used for the closing movement of the mold. The drive (32) has a servo motor to drive roller ball spindles or the spindles (30) of a threaded roller spindle drive, together with a fitted nut (29). The nuts (29) are mounted to bolts (27) within bushes (28) at the fixed upper table (12), mounted to a common plate (26) at the upper section (10) of the stamp/mold. All the spindles (30) work together through the drives from chains, toothed belts or universal joints. The control is structured so that the values for the stroke movements of the drive (32) and the position of the plate (26) are set and varied, and can be stored.

Abstract: A process for preventing atrial premature contractions originating within a pulmonary vein from being conducted into the left atrium of a human heart. More specifically, an ablation lesion is formed which electrically isolates the located source of the atrial premature contraction in the pulmonary vein from connection with the left atrium and blocks passage of the atrial premature contraction originating from the located source. In one embodiment, the steps of the process include advancing a medical device into the left atrium of a human heart, introducing the advanced medical device into the pulmonary vein from the left atrium of a human heart, sensing electrical activity within the pulmonary vein using the introduced medical device, locating a source of the atrial premature contraction within the pulmonary vein using the sensed electrical activity, and forming an ablation lesion in tissue of the pulmonary vein at a location proximal from the located source of the atrial premature contraction within the pulmonary vein. Conductive media and various medical devices may be used with the process.

Abstract: This invention is an artificial airway device used to facilitate lung ventilation in an unconscious patient; and methods for using and inserting an artificial airway device. The device includes a curved but flexible airway tube, and mask portion. A mask opening portion is shaped so as to fit closely over the laryngeal openin. A seating tip includes a series of thin, flexible fins which project from a finger portion extending from the mask opening portion. The fins seat against the pharyngeal side of the cricoid, just above the esophagus. The mask portion can be anchored against a relatively hard surface without causing damage to delicate tissue in the esophagus. The tip provides a reference during insertion which ensures that the mask portion is properly in place, and adequately anchored. The airway also includes an inflatable cuff used to anchor the artificial airway in place. During insertion, the seating tip is fed into the pharynx adjacent the cricoid. When resistance is felt due to interaction between the tip and the cricoid, insertion is halted. The artificial airway is then pulled back slightly to lift the epiglottis away from the mask opening and so that the cuff is just behind the uvula. The cuff is then inflated. The patient may then be ventilated.

Abstract: A system and method for an improved calorimeter for determining thermodynamic properties of biological and chemical reactions. A microcalorimeter device comprises a thin amorphous membrane anchored to a frame. Thermometers and heaters are placed on one side of a thermal conduction layer mounted on the central portion of the membrane. An environmental chamber is vacated and humidified. First and second samples are placed on the membranes of first and second microcalorimeters. Each sample is heated and its individual heat capacity determined. The samples are then mixed by sandwiching the two microcalorimeters together to cause a binding reaction to occur. The enthalpy of binding is determined by measuring the amount of heat liberated during the reaction. The mixture is then heated and the heat capacity of the mixture is determined. From this data, a binding constant is calculated.
