Abstract: La présente invention concerne des modèles enfichables de déflecteurs de flux de fluides (74). L'invention concerne également un équipement de purification d'eau (10) conçu pour communiquer avec ces déflecteurs (74). Un tel équipement (10) convient particulièrement, mais pas exclusivement, dans le cas des flux circulants d'eau présents dans des systèmes associés à des piscines, des bains bouillonnants et des installations thermales du fait que la nature circulante de l'eau permet d'en dévier un plus grand volume vers l'équipement en vue de sa purification. De plus, ces déflecteurs (74) peuvent comporter des entrées orientées de façon à ne prélever que du fluide circulant que dans un seul sens dans un conduit. Ils peuvent en outre être clavetés sur un ou plusieurs composants de l'équipement à des fins, notamment, d'identification ou de gestion des stocks.

Abstract: A driven catheter system (2) includes broadly a driven catheter assembly (6) coupled to a control unit (4). The driven catheter assembly includes a motor drive unit (8) and a catheter assembly (10) mounted thereto. The catheter assembly includes a rotational and translational drive coupling (26) and a catheter (14) extending therefrom. The catheter includes a sheath (16) and a core (18) slidably housed within the sheath. The drive coupling includes an elongate rotary drive element (36), defining a first longitudinal drive path, mounted for rotation about a longitudinal axis (42). A termination element (44) is mounted to the proximal end of the core and slides along the first longitudinal drive path but rotates with the rotary drive element. A bearing (46) has an inner race (48) secured to the termination member and an outer race (50) coupled to the longitudinal drive element (54, 62) of a longitudinal driver (56). Rotation of the rotary drive element rotates the termination element and the proximal end of the core therewith about the longitudinal axis. Longitudinal movement of the longitudinal drive element translates the bearing parallel to the longitudinal drive path; this causes the termination element and the proximal end of the core therewith to be translated along the first longitudinal drive path, the translational and rotational movements being independent of one another.

Abstract: Methods for noninvasively determining a pulmonary capillary blood flow or a cardiac output of a subject include determining data of the amount of gas exchanged between blood and gas in lungs of the subject, as well as data of an indicator of the content of the gas in blood of the subject. Such a determination may be made during two or more different states of ventilation. A geometric relationship is identified between data points, with any data points outlying the geometric relationship being disregarded. The remaining data points may be used to estimate or calculate a measure of pulmonary capillary blood flow or cardiac output. Systems that include elements that are configured to effect such methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a field effect transistor (T) of the (quasi-)vertical type, which means that in the semiconductor body (10) of the transistor (T), a source (1) and a drain (3) are positioned (approximately) above each other and are separated from each other by the channel region (2), which is connected to a gate region (4), each one of said regions being connected to a connection conductor (6, 7, 11) joining a connection region (7, 8, 12). The connection regions (7, 8) of the source (1) and the gate (4) are situated on top of the semiconductor body (10). According to the invention, the semiconductor body (10) is provided with a through-hole (9) at least one wall of which is covered with a conductive layer (11), which is connected to the drain (3), and which forms the connection conductor (11) of the drain (3) and which is connected to the connection region (12) for the drain (3) situated on top of the semiconductor body (10). In this way, the transistor (T) is very well suited for surface mounting and is also very easy to manufacture. The through-hole (9) can be made by means of a cheap technique, such as laser cutting or sandblasting. Moreover, the transistor (T) is insensitive to the thickness of the channel region (2), which, in addition, may be comparatively thick. This simplifies the manufacture thereof and renders the transistor (T) suitable for both high power and high voltage applications. An additional advantage is that the transistor (T) can be manufactured without using a comparatively expensive epitaxial process.

dispersed therein in the form of globules; cooling the
dispersion while maintaining the dispersed form of the

separating the solidified resin from a mixture of the
solvent and the liquid dispersion medium, thereby obtaining
substantially spherical porous beads of the
aromatic polyether ketone resin.
