Abstract: A device for hoisting and lowering a load comprises
driving (13, 14), coupling (5, 6) and winding means (1, 2,
3), wherein at the start of the hoisting operation, the
driving means (13, 14) and the coupling means (5, 6)
undergo an axial displacement relative to each other such
that a coupling between the driving means (13, 14) and the
winding means (1, 2, 3) becomes possible thereby, and
wherein at the start of the lowering operation, an
uncoupling between these driving means (13, 14) and the
winding means (1, 2, 3) is effected. A locking member (16)
is present for locking the coupling means (13, 14) before
the driving (13, 14) and coupling means (5, 6) are axially
displaced relative to each other to enable a coupling
between the driving (13, 14) and winding means (1, 2, 3),
and for undoing this locking when the coupling is effected
before the load is hoisted.

Abstract: An apparatus for combined mechanical/laser myocardial
revascularization of a human heart is operated by inserting a
mechanical piercing device and an elongated flexible lasing
apparatus into the chest cavity of a patient; mechanically
auto-piercing, micro-tearing or spreading the epicardium of
the heart; and then lasing from beneath the epicardium through
the myocardium. The apparatus is guided to an area exterior
to a ventricle of the patient's heart, and the distal end of
the energy delivery device such as an optical fiber apparatus
is placed internal to the exterior wall of the heart through
an opening which has been created by mechanically piercing,
micro-tearing or spreading the epicardium, so that the
myocardium and not the epicardium is irradiated with laser
energy to allow passage of said energy delivery device such as
an optical fiber distal end or said laser energy into the left
ventricular cavity without causing a laser irradiation of the
epicardium which might be a cause of operative bleeding and
for better allowing the sealing of the epicardium after the
apparatus is removed. The apparatus includes a hand-held
device controllable by the physician having a removable distal
head portion with an auto-piercing mechanism and can use a
vacuum source to provide a suction force at the head portion.
The auto-piercing mechanism is implemented by various ways
such as a spring-biased actuating member in the TMR hand-held
device and an electro-mechanical operated piercing mechanism.
The hand-held TMR device with handle assembly can also be
controlled by a computer to provide auto- sequencing of the
auto-piercing needle mechanism and the laser firing with auto-fiber
advancement.

Abstract: A spark plug having a center electrode (2), a ground
electrode (4), and an insulator (3). The ground electrode
(4) has a firing surface (4a) formed in a tip end side, and
the firing surface (4a) is opposed to a side face of the
center electrode (2). The insulator (3) covers the outside
of the center electrode (2) and is placed such that a tip end
portion (3a) is between the side face of the center electrode

A discharge high voltage is applied across the center
electrode (2) and the ground electrode (4) such that a
polarity of the center electrode (2) is positive and that of
the ground electrode (4) is negative. The high voltage
causes a spark discharge to be generated between the firing
surface (4a) of the ground electrode (4) and a tip end
portion of the center electrode (2).

Date Aug. 6, 1998The present invention comprises a method for biological oxidation of nitrogen in water, e.g., wastewater, nitrification, by using ammonia-rich water for the selection and enrichment of nitrifying micro-organisms in a separate aerated reaction volume, where organic matter already has been reduced. The nitrifying micro-organisms will get a competing edge compared to other species, as they are being able to obtain energy from the oxidation of ammonia into nitrate. The method can be applied to the activated sludge process by the introduction of a sludge aeration zone on the recycled sludge, and also be combined with a sludge anoxic zone, for denitrification, enabling a more reliable operation of biological nitrogen as well as phosphorus removal, by maximal use of reaction volumes with lower detention time and lower costs. It can also be applied to a fixed bed process. The possibility of stimulating the micro-organisms to higher activity by changing the physical-chemical conditions is also included, as well as improving the sludge separation characteristics. The method is enabling an overall view of the process, integrating different process stages for optimisation and best possible operational results.

Abstract: Un papier de qualité mat revêtu, destiné à une impression par jet d'encre, comprend un substrat cellulosique revêtu d'une composition de revêtement comprenant un pigment particulaire à base de kaolinton calciné présentant des aggrégats poreux avec un volume de pores total compris entre 0,60 cm3/g et 2,00 cm3/g, une répartition granulométrique étroite dans laquelle environ 90 % en poids présente un diamètre sphérique équivalent (ESD) inférieur à 2 microns, une grosseur de pores moyenne inférieure à 0,8 microns en diamètre, et un polymère cationique présentant une masse moléculaire moyenne comprise dans la plage allant de 1000 à 5 millions de daltons, lequel polymère fait office de dispersant dans une suspension de précurseur et produit une charge positive nette sur le pigment d'argile calciné. On utilise ce pigment d'argile traité chimiquement dans une formulation de revêtement final pour le substrat afin d'obtenir une densité élevée d'encre d'impression, une brillance imprimée et de revêtement, une résistance procurant une solidité à l'eau, un faible effet de mèche et un faible déteintage sur la plupart des papiers à impression par jet d'encre. Le kaolinton calciné permet d'obtenir une teneur élevée en solides de revêtement d'environ 30 à environ 70 % en poids des solides, sur la base du poids de la suspension, ainsi que des viscosités et une rhéologie bonnes, rendant par conséquent le pigment adapté à la plupart des coucheuses rapides du commerce.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring fluids into and out of the inner ear through the round window membrane. The apparatus includes a cover member sized for placement over the round window niche. Fluid delivery and fluid extraction conduits are provided which are operatively connected to the cover member so that fluids can pass therethrough. The cover member is positioned over the niche to create a fluid-recieving zone between the cover member and the round window membrane. As a result, fluids can be delivered into or withdrawn from the zone. Alternatively, a single conduit may be used for fluid delivery and extraction. Another variation uses a compressible cover member positioned within the round window niche to form a fluid-receiving zone between the cover member and the round window membrane. The same type of conduit system described above is attached to the compressible cover member.
