Abstract: The invention refers to the foldable apparatus for achieving and maintaining of erection of penis, based on the principle of the reduced air pressure effect, which can be folded, so that such folded apparatus occupies less space. The apparatus consists of two transparent parts, the lower part 1 and the upper part 3, which can be hermeticly interconnected by the threaded ring 7 and the seal ring 8. In order to decrease the dimensions of the apparatus, the upper part 3 enters the lower part 1. On the upper part 3 there is the head of the apparatus 16 and on its upper side there are the valve 18 and the ribbed pipe 17, over which the elastic hose 19 of the vacuum pump 20 is pulled. The double lever 14, by which the elastic ring 22 is put to the base of the penis, anatomically is adjusted to the hand of the user, while the elastic ring 22 has the double effect in the moment when its ends disconnect to enable an undisturbed ejaculation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a dental chair which includes a patient-bearing system in which specific treatment areas on the teeth in the upper and lower jaws are assigned to specific chair positions. For such a chair it is proposed that an operating unit (40) be provided with an operating surface (41) on which the rows of teeth in the upper jaw or lower jaw are or can be depicted as a diagram (42, 52, 62). The dental diagram is divided up into several sections (43-48; 53-58; 63-68) which represent the treatment areas of those teeth whose treatment requires identical or very similar chair positions. The sections can be optically represented on the operating surface (41). The sections are allocated operating means (P43-P48; P53-P58; P63-P68) whose operation activates the adjusting means (A1-A6) for adjustment of the chair parts into the particular chair position chosen. Allocation of the operating means to the sections is fixed by their arrangement and by their colour or structural design. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An applicator is provided for applying a sheet (80) of surgical material, e.g., an adhesion barrier or other surgical fabric, to internal body tissue. The applicator includes an expandable operating tip (60) which is insertable into an endoscopic tube through an incision in a body to enable a surgeon to apply the adhesion barrier or other surgical fabric to tissue inside the body. A preferred embodiment of the applicator includes a set of telescoping tubes comprising an outer delivery tube (100), a intermediate deployment tube (102), and a inner irrigation tube (104). An expandable spreader tip is mounted at the distal end of the irrigation tube and connected to the distal end of the deployment tube. By advancing the deployment tube and irrigation tube relative to the delivery tube, the spreader tip is exposed at the distal end of the delivery tube. The spreader tip is expanded by movement of the deployment tube relative to the irrigation tube to spread the adhesion barrier over the tissue. A nozzle (116) is provided at the distal end of the irrigation tube for applying a fluid, e.g., a saline solution, to the adhesion barrier.

Abstract: Incorporation of inorganic colloidal particles into an encapsulation dispersion results in microcapsules having polymer shell walls further comprising colloidal inorganic particles. Capsules prepared in this manner have been found to be smaller in size, have a narrower size distribution, and exhibit decreased shell wall permeability. Capsules prepared using these colloidal particle dispersions are particularly useful in carbonless imaging constructions such as those containing a fill solution of a color precursor in a hydrophobic solvent and form deeply colored images when combined with a color developer.

Abstract: Dispositif de suspension amélioré pour têtes magnétiques, comportant une languette à charge unitaire (10) et une structure flexible munie d'une plaque de support glissante suspendue à la Cardan (12) formée par gravure dans la pièce glissante. Ce dispositif de suspension pour têtes magnétiques surmonte les limitations de l'état de la technique puisque la languette porteuse (10) et la structure flexible sont formées à partir d'une seule pièce d'un matériau en feuille. Ainsi, la précision de l'orientation de la structure flexible par rapport à la languette porteuse (10) est finement réglée et le tout peut être optimisé de manière à améliorer ses caractéristiques dynamiques et à le rendre beaucoup moins volumineux.
