Title: Spool assembly for pintle
Inventor: CORRIVEAU ANDRE
IPC: B65H75/44
Filed: 1999-01-14
Abstract: The spool assembly for storing and handling a wire, especially a pintle, includes a spool that is annular in shape and devised to define a radially outwardly opened rim of U-shaped cross-section in which the wire can be wound. At least one of the side walls of this rim has an outer edge with teeth formed in it. The spool assembly also includes a spool-receiving member that is made of one single piece and has a spool-receiving area, a set of circumferentially spaced-apart hooks to catch the spool and freely retain it within the spool-receiving area, a handle integral to the spool-receiving area, and a brake integral to the spool-receiving area. The brake comprises a flexible arm portion having one tooth projecting towards the periphery of the spool so as to engage the teeth of the spool and thus prevent the spool from being rotated unless the handle is lifted up thanks to the flexibility of its arm portion. This assembly is preferably made of plastic material and is very simple in structure and very versatile in use.
Patent CA-2259488-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KING PATRICK D

Filed: 1997-07-28
Abstract: An improved beaver-tail tube assembly (30a, 30b) is provided that is easily exchanged in place over a thin-slab casting mold (20) by means of a conventional tube changer (22). The tube assembly includes a rectangular plate (3), and a tube body (7) having a circular upper end that is mounted to an orifice in the plate for receiving molten metal, and a lower end (15) that is elongated along its width for discharging molten metal into the elongated opening of a thin-slab casting mold. In the tube assembly of the invention, the upper end of the tube body is mounted to the opening in the plate so that the longitudinal axis of the elongated bottom end of the tube body is oriented at an angle (A) of between about 25~ and 55~ with respect to a line (L2) orthogonal to the parallel sides (4a, b) of the plate (3). Such an angular mounting allows two or more tube assemblies of the invention to be arranged in a row which allows the plates of adjacent tube assemblies to engage one another, but does not allow contact between the elongated discharge ends of the tube bodies of the assemblies. This feature in turn allows a conventional tube changer to exchange one of the improved beaver-tail tube assemblies of the invention with another over a thin-slab casting mold without the need for spacers or modifications of the tube changer.

Title: Process for operating a blood centrifugation unit, as well as a centrifugation unit to carry out the process
Inventor: GEIGLE PETER
IPC: A61B90/00
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: A process is disclosed for operating a centrifugation unit with a centrifugation container, in particular a centrifugation bowl, for separating the components of a liquid, in particular blood, containing components with different specific weights. The centrifugation container has a separation chamber, a liquid inlet into the separation chamber and an outlet for discharging the separated component from the separation chamber. The inlet and the outlet extend through a revolving passage at the upper end of the container. The inlet is in communication with an inlet duct which opens in a defined area of the container into the separation chamber. A pumping device is provided for filling and/or emptying the centrifugation container. The liquid to be centrifuged is supplied through the inlet. After a desired amount is separated, the flow direction between inlet and outlet is reversed while the centrifugation container continues to rotate at its full working speed, so that at least one of the separated components is discharged from the separation chamber through the inlet duct and the inlet. The flow direction is then reversed again, so that liquid to be separated is again supplied through the inlet. While the separated component is discharged, a compensating liquid is supplied through the outlet in communication with the separation chamber. Also disclosed is a corresponding centrifugation unit.

Title: Alpha 1a adrenergic receptor antagonists
Inventor: PATANE MICHAEL A
IPC: A61P13/08
Filed: 1998-06-17
Abstract: This invention relates to certain novel compounds and derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as alpha 1a adrenergic receptor antagonists.  One application of these compounds is in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. These compounds are selective in their ability to relax smooth muscle tissue enriched in the alpha 1a receptor subtype without at the same time inducing hypotension. One such tissue is found surrounding the urethral lining. Therefore, one utility of the instant compounds is to provide acute relief to males suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, by permitting less hindered urine flow. Another utility of the instant compounds is provided by combination with a human 5-alpha reductase inhibitory compound, such that both acute and chronic relief from the effects of benign prostatic hyperplasia are achieved.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper. The disposable absorbent article has a first topsheet with apertures large enough for low-viscosity fecal material to pass through to a fecal material storage element. The fecal material storage element immobilizes the fecal material in position for dewatering, so that the liquid components of the fecal material are absorbed by the core and the solid components of the fecal material are separated from the liquid components. This arrangement provides for easier cleaning of the wearer when the soiled disposable absorbent article is removed.
