Patent EP-0456827-A4 (EP)
Title: Image recording method, apparatus for said method and method of producing said apparatus
IPC: G03G15/05
Filed: 1990-11-16
Abstract: A photoconductive photosensitive member (2) and a charge retaining medium (1), which face one another at a predetermined interval, are exposed to light while a voltage is applied between them from an external power source (E). The discharge occurring in the exposed areas produces an electrostatic image on the charge retaining medium. In this method, the applied voltage is removed a predetermined time after a shutter (13) is closed so that all the carriers generated in the photosensitive member can be transferred to the charge retaining medium. Accordingly, the quantity of charge corresponding to an exposure quantity is stored in the charge retaining medium irrespective of the kind of the photoconductive member used. If the charge retaining medium or photosensitive member is charged in advance in this case, a positive image can be obtained with the external power source disconnected. Alternatively, the applied voltage may be removed after the photosensitive members are separated from the charge retaining member on which an electrostatic charge image has been formed. In this case, the image is prevented from distortion. On the other hand, if a spacer for keeping the photosensitive member and the charge retaining member in a spaced-apart relation is formed integrally with either the photosensitive member or the charge retaining medium, the discharge gap can easily be kept constant. Further, if the electrode of the photosensitive member or that of the charge retaining medium at a spacer portion is removed, it is effective to prevent dielectric breakdown which may be caused through the spacer.
Patent EP-0518971-A4 (EP)
Title: High temperature furnace
IPC: H05B6/02
Filed: 1991-03-05
Abstract: A furnace configuration is disclosed which is suitable for scale-up of heat transfer limited processes performed at high temperatures, e.g. carbothermic reduction of transition metal or rare earth oxides. The furnace is inductively heated by external insulated coils (3) and the susceptor (2), preferably graphite rings, is placed within the charge (1) away from the outer surfaces of the charge (1). Consequently heat is transferred to the charge (1) in three dimensions and the process approaches completion before the insulation (4) is subjected to high temperatures. As a result of this three dimensional heat transfer, larger furnaces are possible within the heat transfer constraints of these high temperature processes and higher yields are obtained.

IPC: G01B3/04
Filed: 1993-03-02
Abstract: A displacement sensor provided with a magnet (4) and magnetoelectric conversion means for sensing the variation of magnetism caused by the magnet to sense the displacement of the magnetic material to be measured. The sensor is provided with a first magnetoelectric conversion means (5) located in the place where the magnetic flux density is varied by the displacement of the material to be measured, a second magnetoelectric conversion means (6) of the same kind as the first magnetoelectric conversion means (5), which is located in the place where the magnetic flux density is not varied by the displacement of the material to be measured, and a circuit means (10) for adding the outputs of the first and second magnetoelectric conversion means at a predetermined ratio. Further, by using the displacement sensor as a base and by adjusting the temperature coefficients of the first and second magnetoelectric conversion means (5), (6), or by adjusting the temperature coefficient of the circuit means (10), the temperature compensation of the displacement sensor is so performed that its temperature coefficient approaches zero. Thereby, its sensing accuracy can be improved in a wide temperature range. The magnet (4), the first and second magnetoelectric conversion means (5), (6), and the circuit means (10) are contained in a case (21) having a heatinsulating structure so that the temperature in the case is kept constant independently of the temperature of the external environment. Optionally by using a case (21) of a material having a high thermal conductivity, the displacement sensor can respond at a high speed to the temperature of the external environment.

Title: Percutaneous cardiac pump for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Inventor: ZADINI GIORGIO C
IPC: A61M60/468
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method for cardiac resuscitation, as shown in fig. 9, comprising an expandable member (105) placeable inside the chest cavity adjacent to heart (69) to effect pumping of the heart. Said expandable member is carried in a contracted state within the blunt tip (104) of a stem (102) which is essentially mechanically advanced through the chest wall in a controlled and largely automated fashion by a device (1) placed on the anterior chest wall (107) of the patient. Said blunt tip (104) advances by blunt dissection through the thickness of the chest wall (107), after a slight incision is made in the superficial layers of the chest wall just to win the resistance of the skin to a blunt tip, in a region of the chest wall correspondent to an area, in the inner aspect of the chest wall, anatomically designated ''sine pleura'', i.e. where the pleura is absent, and is placed into the chest cavity into a region adjacent to the heart. Said blunt tip (104) can be of such a small diameter to cause only a virtual, self-sealing hole in the chest wall upon removal of the stem. The device (1) or means for placing said expandable member (104) into the chest cavity comprises a number of other safety features to prevent that structures of the chest wall as well as intrathoracic organs are injured in any way at the time of the placement of the expandable member (105) into the chest cavity as well as at the time of the actual cardiac pumping or at any time the device is being used. Said means (1) for placement of said expandable member (105) into the chest cavity comprises means for gradual and controlled penetration through the chest wall (107), with features automatically disabling the means for advancing said stem, and automatically locking the advancing stem upon entry into the chest cavity, so to avoid injuries to the heart and to the other intrathoracic organs. Upon placement of the expandable member within the chest cavity, cardiac pumping is either accomplished, after initial expansion of the expandable member (105), by periodically displacing said expandable member (105) by appling and releasing pressure to it via a rigid stem (102) from outside the chest cavity, so to alternatally compress and decompress the heart or by alternatively inflating-deflating said expandable member in front of the heart to alternatively compress-decompress the heart against the thoracic spine. Such an apparatus provides an effective method for cardiopulmonary resuscitation comparable to open cardiac massage without the trauma, invasiveness, complication and most of all without the delay in institution associated with a thoracotomy and can be implemented by paramedics or the like in the field, i.e. in the site where the cardiac arrest has occured, within the critical time frame when effective cardiac massage can still regain life and integrity of functions.

Title: Failure protection unit for flight control system
Inventor: QUICK DAVID C
IPC: B60T7/12
Filed: 1994-04-28
Abstract: In order to prevent serious damage to a flight control system in a failure mode, a failure protection unit includes an input shaft (12) connected to a shaft of the flight control system with the input shaft normally being operably associated with a plunger (14) having a brake hub (16) integral therewith for rotational driven movement of the plunger and the brake hub through the input shaft. The plunger (14) and the brake hub (16) are movable relative to the input shaft, and a brake reaction plate (18) is positioned within a housing (20) in normally spaced relation to the brake hub. The brake hub is biased by a spring (22) in a direction toward the brake reaction plate and the plunger is biased by the spring in a direction away from the input shaft. The plunger (14) is normally locked against movement by a detent (26) which resists movement of the plunger away from the input shaft and movement of the brake hub (16) toward the brake reaction plate (18). With these features of construction, a trip mechanism initiates engagement of the brake hub with the brake reaction plate responsive to an overspeed condition for the shaft of the flight control system by disabling the detent to thereby allow the spring to cause movement of the brake hub toward the brake reaction plate and movement of the plunger away from the input shaft.
