Title: Infrared spectroscopic endoscope
Inventor: SIMON ARNO
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1997-07-28
Abstract: An infra red endoscope for spectroscopic investigation of a patient's body comprises a light guide 10,20 to convey infra red radiation to the distal end of the endoscope and an infra red detector 12,22 at the distal end of the guide to convert the radiation scattered from the surfaces being investigated into electrical signals. Information on the surfaces being investigated is then conveyed to the spectrometer as electrical signals via conductors 15 running through the light guide rather than as optical signals as is conventional. Problems associated with limited acceptance angles of the optical fibres conveying scattered light back to the spectroscope are thus avoided. An ultrasonic transducer 16 may be located at the end of the endoscope to provide information as to the proximity of the object under investigation.

Patent GB-2349651-A (GB)
Title: Kombucha tea mushroom in paper manufacture
Inventor: RAJENDRAN CANDASAMY
IPC: D21C5/00
Filed: 1999-05-01
Abstract: Kombucha tea is a fermented beverage, long used in China. It is prepared by brewing tea with sugar in the presence of a mixed group of microorganisms. During the fermentation process a jellylike mushroom is formed on the surface of the tea and is composed of cellulose with the microorganisms embedded in it. Usually a small part of this issued in renewing the tea. Cellulose deposited takes the shape of the vessel in which tea is brewed and is used in paper manufacture by homogenising the cellulose and mixing with cellulose obtained from traditional source. Kombucha tea mushroom can be produced my growing the microorganisms in waste water containing organic matter such as from vegetable, fruits and dairy products, Further the organisms will produce cellulose in tap water, rain water and stream water when glucose, sucrose or fructose is added to the water.

Title: A thermistor probe or catheter comprising a temperature dependent material placed between concentric conductors
Inventor: TWINEY ROBERT
IPC: G01K7/22
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: A catheter thermistor comprises an elongate central conductor 10, which is coated at one end thereof with a layer 11 of a ceramics material having a negative temperature coefficient. The exposed remainder of the inner conductor is coated with a layer 12 of a glass insulating material, which co-extends with the ceramics layer 11. A conductive layer 13 of silver ink is then applied over the ceramics and insulating layers 11,12. An outer insulating layer 14 of glass or epoxy is applied over the length of the outer conductive layer 13 and over the ends of the internal layers 10,11,13, so as to form a capped end to the thermistor. The overall diameter of the catheter thermistor is 100žm or less and is thus far less traumatic to insert into a patient, compared with conventional catheter thermistors, which are typically 500žm in diameter. Also, the reduced size of the catheter thermistor means that multiple sensors can be mounted in the same physical volume as a conventional catheter thermistor.

Title: Positioning a measuring head in a non-contact three-dimensional measuring machine
Inventor: CERRUTI PIERO
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: Measuring head 15 is movable in three-dimensional reference frame X, Y, Z and supports a visual sensor 25 comprising a television camera (31, Figure 3) and a source (33) of a laser beam (35). The two-dimensional image picked up by the camera is displayed on a monitor 54a and includes a positionable pointer (P, Figure 7) movable by manual control 55 to select a point of interest in the image. Control means then moves the head automatically into a position in which the origin (O', Figure 3) of a second reference frame (X', Y', Z'), corresponding to the intersection of the axes of symmetry of the camera and the laser beam, is located at the point of interest, ie the point of interest is located at the centre of the image. X' and Y' correspond to the plane of the image and Z' lies along the axis of symmetry of the camera. Positioning in the X', Y' plane is determined by scaling the image; positioning along the Z' axis is determined from the laser beam reflection in the X', Y' plane The relationship between the two reference frames is deduced from known machine parameters.
Patent GB-2340711-A (GB)
Title: Dynamic focus voltage replaced with set voltage during AKB interval
Inventor: GEORGE JOHN BARRETT
IPC: G09G1/00
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: A dynamic focus voltage amplifier 97 includes a switch Q13 responsive to the dynamic focus voltage blanking signal VERT-BLANK for applying a dynamic focus voltage to a focus electrode, when the switch is at a first state, and for disabling the application of the dynamic focus voltage, when the switch is at a second state to provide for automatic kine bias measurement. A second Q15 switch responsive to the focus voltage blanking signal VERT-BLANK is coupled to the amplifier for applying a current to a stage of the amplifier, when the dynamic focus voltage is disabled. The applied current adjusts the focus voltage, to a level closer to that established immediately after the dynamic focus voltage is enabled for reducing a transient condition. The dynamic focus voltage is removed during the AKB interval so as to avoid stray coupling influencing the bias level setting operation. The transient condition removed by applying a set voltage level during the AKB interval would otherwise produce different focus conditions at opposite sides of the display screen.

Patent HU-T67586-A (HU)
Title: Device for separating multiple-component fluids
Inventor: BAKHAREV JURIJJ ALEKSEEVICH
IPC: B01D45/04
Filed: 1992-12-11
Abstract: A device for separating multiple-component fluids includes a truncated cone structure (2) having a conical main section (2a) defined by a plurality of coaxially aligned and axially spaced rings (3) of progessively diminishing inner diameters as viewed in the direction of movement (6) of the fluids being separated. The largest ring (3a) is located at that end of the conical main section at which the fluid is admitted thereto, and the smallest ring (3b) is located at that end of the conical main section at which separated solid particles are discharged. Each ring has an inside surface (13) which is convexly curved in a radial crosssection along the axis of the cone structure and faces in part counter to and in part across the direction of fluid flow. The inside surface of each ring meets the bottom surface (14) of that ring in a sharp edge (14a), with the tangent to the bottom surface at that juncture making an angle  alpha of at most 90 DEG  with respect to the direction of fluid flow, and with the tangent (T-2) to the inside surface at that juncture being substantially parallel to the axis of the cone structure. The arrangement of the rings causes the solid particles to be concentrated in the axial region of the cone structure for axial discharge therefrom while cleaned fluid exits from the cone structure through the gaps (16) between the rings.

Title: Process for preparing emulsions that are polymerizable to absorbent foam materials
Inventor: DESMARAIS THOMAS ALLEN
IPC: C08F212/34
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the continuous preparation of high internal phase emulsions which are suitable for subsequent polymerization into polymeric foam materials that, upon dewatering, act as absorbents for aqueous body fluids. The process involves continuous introduction of a certain type of monomer-containing oil phase and a certain type of electrolyte-containing water phase into a dynamic mixing zone at relatively low water to oil phase ratios. Flow rates are then steadily adjusted to increase the water to oil ratio of the streams fed to the dynamic mixing zone while subjecting the dynamic mixing zone contents to shear agitation which is sufficient to thereby form a high internal phase emulsion that, upon subsequent polymerization, provides a foam having an average cell size of from about 5 to 100 microns. The formation of such a stable high internal phase emulsion is completed by feeding the contents of the dynamic mixing zone to and through a static mixing zone.
